James Timothy Zuba

I employed the services of Jim Zuba to finish my almost 2 year-long divorce. As my case was fairly complex in nature, I was concerned that my change in attorneys would result in a significant loss in ground resulting in a lengthy delay in its ultimate settlement. From the initial consultation wit...h Jim, I was extremely impressed with his strong grasp of numbers, business scenarios, and marital law. I could also tell that he had an exceedingly high moral character and would be very comfortable to talk with both which I knew would make the whole process much easier. Jim was able to both immediately jump into my case and have a dramatic positive impact on my next pre-trial hearing which took place only three weeks after Jim started. This ultimately set the stage for what I believe was an equitable settlement that was realized only 6 weeks after Jim started. I consider this a remarkable feat in light of the fact that prior to Jim’s entrance, I had been struggling with the case for almost 2 years. I could not give Jim higher marks in the way he represented me with one of the most difficult situations in my life. Whenever I need any legal expertise/representation in the future, I will look to Jim for his help. I consider Jim a true expert in his field and even more, a friend. I cannot thank you enough Jim.

Jim Zuba came into our case halfway through my sister's custody battle of my 10yr niece after our previous lawyer quit. We had our backs against the wall with a gal who was pro dad's and a narcissist father trying for full custody, feeding the gal tons of lies. His knowledge and experience completely... turned the tables for us. He definently was pricey but worth every penny. We won our case and I know it was do to Jim Zuba. Eternally grateful for our decision to go with him and his tenacity to get our case won.

Custody cases for single fathers are challenging in the best of circumstances, and for a single father like me seeking sole custody it can seem nearly impossible to follow through. I sought out Attorney Zuba on the recommendation of a respected friend who had not only been a client of his, but was al...so very knowledgable of top lawyers in the area. I was very glad I did. Attorney Zuba was calm, understanding, and professional from the initial consultation to the rendering of the final verdict. He kept me informed throughout the process, always responded quickly to my calls or emails, and eased my nerves before entering court each time. Realistic expectations for each phase of the process were set for me, and they were always met or exceeded. During the early stages of the case Attorney Zuba showed he was knowledgable and confident in the courtroom, and was clearly respected by opposing counsel, guardian ad litem, and judge. In the later stages, when witnesses were called, his skill as a litigator was very clear and I was impressed with his ability to turn each testimony on both sides to the advantage of my case. He fought vigorously for me, and defended me fiercely when false allegations were made during testimony. In the end, I was rightfully awarded sole custody. I believe whole-heartedly that it is important to research your specific needs when choosing an attorney, but I cannot imagine one finding someone better in Winnebago County to represent them than Attorney James Zuba.

Was my lawyer for a divorce/custody battle. Was very quick with responses with both me and my ex's lawyer. Staff in his office was very quick as well and professional. He is very upfront whether you want to hear but knows the laws very well and knows what will hold up in court and what won't. He was ...exactly what you need during a custody and divorce as emotions need to stay out of the court room and helped keep things focused and pushing forward quickly. I would highly recommend Mr Zuba to anyone.

Jim has given me consultation on multiple issues pertaining to family law. I had concerns about my rights in certain post-divorce matters. Jim's expertise, experience and ability to focus on key issues impressed me. Because of Jim's skillset and his ability to be a strong advocate for his client, I ...would recommend his services.
