Best Family Law Specialist in Orange County

Mr. Blonska is a family law specialist. He was recommended to me. He was always 100% honest and always well prepared. He was always fair in his billings. His office was always attentative to my special circumstances. His office was incredible in their followup, scheduling depositions and sorting... through large amounts of documents. As you can imagine, it was a stressful time. I knew that they cared about me and my case. I would highly recommend the firm.

Jason did an Excellent job representing me!!

Hiring Jason allowed me to go through a very difficult situation feeling that I was not only working with an excellent lawyer but someone that truly cared about the outcome of my divorce and the financial impact I would be responsible for long term. Jason explained every aspect of the divorce in laym...an's terms and worked hard to be sure that I understood the legal terms and the reasons behind each aspect presented. It has been refreshing to know that when I needed Jason because there was something that concerned me, I could text or email him even on a weekend or in the evenings and I would get a response. There aren't a lot of people that care this much for their clients and I would highly recommend Jason to anyone that has to go through this unfortunate situation.

Posted by Carole | September 15, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

The last place that I ever expected to find myself sitting, was in a divorce attorney's office, asking, "What's next?"

I was the woman who never wanted a divorce. I was the wife who believed in the "til death do you part-part." I was the non-combative spouse of forty plus years who equated legal action with an ugly untenable aggression. As a result, it took three visits to Jason's office to initiate dissolution of... my marriage. Never once in those multiple "trial runs" did Jason ever make me feel stupid or annoying or delusional about what this process could look like. He politely and patiently answered my questions and began to plant a seed of confidence in his law firm that would eventually act as my advocate. Jason was referred to me by a very successful CPA in Orange County who knew of him through other court proceedings. He spoke of the respect that other professionals held for Jason. My experience only confirmed that opinion. Top Ten Reasons to Retain The Blonska Firm ~Attention to detail. ~Intelligent analysts and smart writers. ~Knows when to be tough and when to compromise. ~Attentive listeners. ~Digest reams of information quickly and accurately. ~Excellent support staff. ~Respected by family law judges (my judge stated so). ~Help separate emotion decisions from better logical ones. ~Instill confidence in court by their prep and demeanor. Fearless and OK with a fight if necessary. ~Respond to emails immediately. Jason and I worked together with associate Jeff Wasserman, who was excellent in every way and totally reflected the high standards of Jason's firm. Jeff's forte was his quick witted ability to size up a situation, apply it to the law, and communicate it back to me in a way that I could understand. Brainstorming with Jeff was one of the most effective ways that I processed this divorce successfully. I always felt "heard," but also gained wise guidance for the best result for me. The end of my divorce left me stronger and clearer about what the legal process allowed for someone in my situation. I am grateful for Jason, Jeff and his staff.

Good Intentions - Terrible attorney

Jason Blonska and his team took my case, my money, and my time and gave me nothing in return. A simple divorce was dragged out while Jason and his team charged me three times what opposing counsel was charging. In the first 6 months his team wasted my time by requesting the same information over and ...over only to sit on it for weeks and then have to request it again. When we finally started talking to the other side, Jason and his team left me feeling like I was in a room with all attorneys for the other side. I was not be represented and came to the realization that Jason is all about negotiation. He does not want to go to trial and so if he does not see things going the way he wants he will start to cave. He is a glorified key pusher, spending our entire meetings referring to the application used to define support, and mentioning the A vs the B key. Ultimately he did not support or help me but instead made offers to the opposing side without my approval, and in one case his team made an offer against my request. He also left me to attend my first court hearing with a secondary attorney as he was out of town. While that may not seem like a big deal, it was to me as I only found this out by getting an auto reply email from Jason stating he was on vacation. In the end Jason charged me 3 times what opposing counsel had charged to that point and gave me nothing to show for it. I was forced to hire another attorney who would look out for my interests. While I am sure Jason is a nice guy, all of his promises and commitments turned to vapor as soon as he was presented with an adversary. I would absolutely not recommend using Mr Blonska or his office for any legal needs.

Top notch lawyer

Jason is an exceptional attorney! He knows the law inside and out, sees the big perspective without losing track of the details. He is respectful, kind, honest and will "take the bull by the horns." He cross- examined an expert witness so well, that the witness came and asked for his card afterwards ...because he had never been "so worked on the stand." I felt confident in his abilities and that he truly had my best interest in mind. He respected my wishes and diligently fought for what I asked and WON!!! And on top of that all, he has a wonderful sense of humor in all the difficult moments.
