He didn’t communicate well after a few months, found someone else. Out $$

Jordan was great at first. We met and had good conversations and I was really liking his advice and how things were going. Then, he disappeared. Stopped replying to my emails, texts and calls. He just wouldn’t reply for months on end. He finally ended up replying, but I had found another lawyer. I wi...sh I wouldn’t have used this lawyer to begin with, he’s either way too busy or just forgetful of his clients. I don’t think he’s a bad guy per say, but not a good communicator. My new lawyer is much easier to work with.

Poor, poor experience.

Extremely disappointing and deeply unprofessional experience. Jordan completely disappeared on me in March. Despite repeated emails and phone calls, I was essentially ignored. No meaningful communication, no updates, no explanation, and no indication that anyone was actually keeping track of my ca...se. The most unbelievable part? I ultimately found out that my divorce case had been dismissed through a letter that was apparently intended for my ex-husband. Yes — I learned about the dismissal from a letter that wasn’t even meant for me, rather than receiving a direct update from the attorney I had hired and fully paid to represent me. The case was dismissed, and I lost thousands of dollars. When I initially hired Jordan, he was responsive and professional, and I genuinely trusted his advice and counsel. That makes what happened even more frustrating. If there were legitimate difficulties with the Hague Convention filing, I would have appreciated simple honesty and communication. If he was having trouble with the case, he could have told me. Instead, I was left in the dark and effectively abandoned. A divorce is already one of the most stressful and emotionally draining legal processes someone can go through. The absolute last thing you should have to worry about is whether your own attorney has simply stopped answering you or whether anyone is even paying attention to your case. I paid for legal representation. I expected communication, follow-up, and basic professional responsibility. Instead, I received silence and ultimately discovered that my case had been dismissed. What is even more troubling is that after I left a negative review about my experience, Jordan later threatened me because of the review. Rather than addressing the concerns I raised as a dissatisfied former client, I felt pressured over my decision to share my experience. I trusted this attorney with an extremely important matter. That trust was completely misplaced. I would strongly encourage anyone considering hiring this attorney to ask very specific questions about communication, case management, and what happens if complications arise. My experience was that once problems arose, the communication essentially stopped. I will also be filing a complaint with the State Bar of Arizona so that my experience can be formally reviewed. I would not recommend this attorney based on my experience.

Just Complete Disappeared and my case got dismissed

Jordan has just completely disappeared since January. Complete ignored all my emails and phone calls. Imagine finding out that the divorce was dismissed through a letter that was supposed to be for your ex-husband, and your lawyer didn't have the decency to keep you updated. He was really good in the... beginning and fully trusted his counsel. I would have appreciated it more if he had been honest about having difficulty with the Hague Convention filing instead of just completely abandoning my case. It was emotionally frustrating to go through a divorce, and to add a lawyer who didn't follow up, just disappeared, and let the case be dismissed. It is very unethical for a lawyer whom you completely trusted to handle things, fully paid, and then go no contact. I will definitely file a complaint with the State Bar of Arizona.

Deserted us near trial date and subsequently lost.

He was great and took our money and then stopped returning calls near our trial date. He and his sister literally dropped our case with no reason and we subsequently lost our case and lost money ! Lots of money . He was very friendly and professional and we got along well. Then - deserted us and we l...ost because of him who just stopped talking to us . He was very personable and helped until he deserted us completely. Sad that people can be so dishonest and cruel. We lost our case .

CAUTION

In the beginning things were great. Recently, we had a meeting set up and scheduled with Jordan so we could respond to a recent motion filed. He sent the link to meet virtually at 3:40pm via email but did not show and has given us ZERO responses in WEEKS. His assistance gave no guidance nor showed an...y sympathy. After a ridiculous amount of calls and emails he has yet to respond which has resulted in NO response to the motion filed against. I have seen previous reviews claiming this as well and wished I would have taken them more seriously. It was even confirmed by the courts that this “is not the first time he’s done this”.. Spend your money elsewhere so he does not take advantage of you during such a vulnerable and stressful time leaving you scrambling and anxious for what to do next. So unfortunate to leave a bad review because in the beginning he went above and beyond.

"I would like to take a few moments to let the world know how much I have enjoyed working with attorney Jordan Zitron. He and his sister Amanda Mays run a professional, ethical practice, which unfortunately is a rarity these days. They've both been a delight to work with, and they both seem focused on resolving cases outside of court whenever possible and helping ensure parties keep as much of their dignity and self-respect as they can while going through one of the most traumatic times of their lives. I look forward to future dealings with the Mays & Zitron team!"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jordan is a true professional and I wish more lawyers practiced the way he does. He doesn't take unreasonable positions or pick unnecessary battles just to run up the fees. He knows the law and uses that knowledge to do what is in his client's best interest and help them get what they are entitled to. We were opposing counsel on a tough case together and I was so impressed with Jordan's abilities that I would not hesitate to refer matters to him in the future."
