About Jonathon

When involved in a divorce or other family law matter, you need a Certified Family Law Specialist.

I am a Certified Family Law Specialist whose law practice is located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. While it may sound cliche', in approaching each case I attempt to treat each client's case as though it were my own. A conscious effort is always made to listen carefully to each client so as to accurately and fully understand their goals and objectives in the matter, and to empathize with what they are going through due to the litigation. Above all else, the ethical obligation to be bluntly honest with each client and to communicate realistic expectations for their case is always honored. An effort is always made to explore various options of settlement in an attempt to keep the financial burden of litigation to a minimum. However, if a fair and reasonable settlement is not possible, I do not shy away from litigation and will do whatever I can, within the confines of the law, to protect my clients interests and achieve his/her goals.

Review Jonathon Zitney

PROCESS full of EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, PEACE, and Great Personal Touch. Over the Top Service!

Posted by

This is my first Review ever, and I have to say that It's worth taking the time because it's well deserved by this law firm. A special Thanks to Jonathon Zitney. The rest of the team was and continue to be very helpful. Jonathon, has a special way of making the process go smooth and peaceful. The knowledge, communication, compassion, Integrity, respect, and patience that was given to me through this process was amazing! Regardless, of my lack of knowledge, I never felt that Jonathon was irritated or frustrated. With my one million questions :) (as you see, I'm trying to keep my review short lol..). Jonathon, always made sure I wasn't in doubt and that my questions were answered. Let me tell you, I can ask the same question 10 different ways :) but he was patient with me. WHAT!?!? I noticed the Most Recent "poor" review. Don't get fooled by that one bad review,!IGNORE IT! With all my respects to that person but, they definitely not having a good day, week, or year 0-o. This law firm team makes you feel welcome and that YOU MATTER!!

Honesty and Strength

Posted by

I have had the privilege of working with Mr. Jitney ever since he joined Mr. Pittullo’s law practice six years ago. Mr. Zitney adds a level of service to the law firm, collaborating hand and hand with more senior attorneys, and bringing his own expertise especially in the area of financial litigation. As I have learned over the course of the last ten years, divorce proceedings have layers of complications that compound over time. Although I am a teacher and skilled in ordinary mathematics, issues of financial support, retirement plan allotments, sanctions and arrearages have felt daunting to me. I trust Mr. Zitney to oversee my financial concerns with skill and attention to detail, which releases me to concentrate on other areas of my case where my input is of more critical import. Mr. Jitney has represented me in courtroom litigation and in crafting legal responses and calculations, and I recommend him without reservation.

I can’t say enough about this attorney and how satisfied I am with the help I received. He gave me excellent advice throughout this process. He was honest with me about my situation and always reminded me of the things I should be thinking of long term. He and his staff could not have been more patient with my many questions and I am so appreciative. It was easy to contact him and my emails and phone calls were always returned in a timely manner. While I hope to never find myself in need of his services again, I would not hesitate to hire him again. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for quality representation regarding family law issues.

If you must divorce....

Posted by

A divorce is never an easy process. If you are in a situation that renders this choice, I would highly recommend Mr Jonathan Zitney and his staff. This office was a referral and one of the best I have had. Mr Zitney is a man of incredible honest and integrity. I never once felt pressure to hire, I was treated with utmost respect and compassion. The staff was crazy patient with my endless questions regarding my case. I was notified step by step of any processes. My divorce was one if great hardship to which Mr Zitney understood and worked so diligently to be sure I was safe for my future. Should you ever have to experience this type of loss, I assure you with all that I am, this group would be a blessing to insure a positive outcome!

From start to finish Mr. Zitney and his entire team made it easy. They are all professional, incredible, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. All my questions, whether I called or e-mailed, were responded to in a timely manner. Divorce is never easy, but thankful for Mr. Zitney and his team for making it as easy and painfulness as possible!
