Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Zitney did excellent work for me. Being a certified in Family Law makes it obvious he knows the law, but that's not enough in an attorney. He did an excellent job communicating with me, both keeping me informed and explaining the legal concepts that applied to my case. Mr. Zitney was also upfront... about possible outcomes for my situation, both good and bad, and didn't tell me something just because it was what I wanted to hear. Another thing I appreciated was his letting me do some legwork to save me money. He offered me the choice of comparing two documents or having the office do it for me. When we needed an actuarial report to evaluate an asset, he gave me the name of someone to contact. I coordinated getting the report and had the actuary send it directly to his office. I recommend Mr. Zitney because he knows the law, communicates well, and because he helped resolve my divorce in a way that was fair. I trusted his judgment when we had to make certain decisions and it paid off. I was pleased with the resolution of my case overall and that we didn't have to go to trial. It got settled. While there some little things that didn't go my way, the big things did. Jonathan Zitney did a good job as my divorce attorney.

Prenuptial Agreement

I had Mr. Zitney prepare my prenuptial agreement. Although I am an attorney, I do not work in Family Law. Mr. Zitney was referred to me by several other attorneys as being the only attorney to go to with such delicate matter. He was well prepared and everything went smoothly. I would only hire hi...m for any other family law matter.

Impressive

I met Mr. Zitney on my first court appearance more than a couple of years ago, through Mr. Timothy Pittullo's Firm. I saw a young man who was very respectful of the Court, whose demeanor was of a established professional. It is amazing how one can see the difference among lawyers when you see them ...in court appearances; Mr. Zitney stands out from the rest quite easily... His knowledge of family Law is amazing and his attitude towards providing the best service to his clients are beyond a doubt the best I have seen. Besides his knowledge of the Law, I was most impressed with his professionalism, courtesy, care about cases, and most importantly to me his humble attitude. I can see how some trades are specially difficult because professionals are dealing with people's lives and emotions. It takes special people to be able to do these jobs, and Mr. Zitney is well suited to this type of work. His ability to translate law terms or situations into the common daily language is impressive. He will ensure you get the full understanding of what is transpiring in your case. Even though he is very professional about his job, it is comforting to know he understands and empathizes with you as to what is going on. It is brutal warfare at times in court, and when your head is filled with legal terms and there is fear of the unknown, professionals like Mr. Zitney come across in full understanding of what the client is going through and he will provide that feeling of things are going to be ok... a very valuable trait to posses in such a cold legalistic industry. His work is direct, aggressive, ethical, and you would never wonder where you are, he will tell you. Mr. Zitney was part of my team of Lawyers at Mr. Timothy Pittullo's Firm. I can only count my blessings to have had the best you can hope for and are walking away with a humble heart and nothing but admiration and respect for such a great team of professionals and human beings. Mr. Zitney you only bring more caliber to such a great firm, and like Mr. Pittullo, you have followed your heart and you are in the right place. I look forward to following you in your career because you will most undoubtedly be one for the books; you are an amazing person and thank you for all that you did for us. God bless you and your family and may he continue to bless you. Thank you form my heart. Ralph S

Honesty and Strength

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.

Excellent Attorney - 5 Stars.

Mr. Zitney helped me through a very nasty divorce. Very competent, knowledgeable and one who is willing to go the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. He stays in close contact and is always a phone call or an email away. Would rate him 10 stars if possible.
