Jason Anthony Blonska

I was referred to Jason Blonska in 2009 by a highly respected Superior Court Family Law Judge. I was referred to several highly regarded attorneys in Orange County and decided to retain Jason for a difficult case. The case consisted of the reinstatement of my spousal support in 2014, which was fiv...e years beyond the end of the non-modifiable payment obligation in 2009; after my daughter graduated from high school. My Dissolution of Marriage was finalized in 2002, at which time our marital standard of living was high and I was awarded 8 years of spousal and child support which ended in July 2009. I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years of my long term marriage. I returned to my professional career in 2004 part time to become financially independent. In 2009, I lost my position as a senior executive and my alimony ended simultaneously. This was a very difficult time for me and my daughter. Jason was very sympathetic and provided legal and emotional support to me. He coached me through my job search and made professional contacts on my behalf. He sent my ex-husband a letter asking him to provide financial support to assist me through this period of unemployment. I called Jason on many occasions feeling very anxious due to my stressful job search and financial situation. I was very worried. He continually assured me that I would be okay and that if I could not secure a new position soon, that we would file for a continuation of alimony. He was always available and continually positive and reassuring. I secured a new position in 2010 ----and then in January 2013 my new position and group was eliminated, and I was again unemployed. I was 56 years old at that time and divorced for over 10 years. I aggressively employed all of my resources during this extensive job search for over a year. In March 2014, Jason recommended that he file a Modification of Spousal Support, or a continuation of alimony. My ex-husband, a health care professional, hired one of the most highly regarded law firms in Orange County and retained the firms female founding partner to represent him. He was adamant about providing any additional support payments. I was extremely concerned and anxious about my situation, but Jason reassured me that he would do all he could to get my Spousal Support reinstated. Jason and his staff tirelessly helped me prepare for the court date, and his professional colleague, Shannon R. Thomas worked with me to prepare the supporting documentation for my case. Jason, Shannon and his staff provided unparalleled emotional support and kindness. The full day case was held in Orange County Superior Court. Jason requested the reinstatement of my support payments subsequent to my divorce being finalized for over 10 years, and five years after my support payments ended. The attorney for my husband was one of the best; very intimidating and had over 35 years of family law litigation experience. Jason was calm and polite under pressure. He was extremely prepared and knew my case well. The Judge ruled to reinstate my support payments for one year and the court would continue to retain jurisdiction over my circumstances. The court also awarded me six months of retroactive support payments. The attorney for my ex-husband requested that the court provide no support payments and filed an order to TERMINATE JURISDICTION to award spousal support to petitioner. Jason's professionalism and calm demeanor in presenting my case concisely resulted in the favorable ruling by the Judge. He is also extremely conscientious in all matters. Jason continues to provide support whenever I call and is always reassuring. I would highly recommend Jason and his professional colleagues for any family law matters. He is the best.

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.

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.

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.
