James Joseph Pedrojetti

If your case is uncontested, then Pedrojetti might be OK for what you need. I hired him to initiate and represent me in a custody hearing. Drafting documents was always back and forth due to errors. He burned through my retainer account (and then some) without even stepping foot into court on my be...half. Opposing counsel filed to have a jurisdictional hearing for the matter and he gave me the ultimatum of coming to a settlement agreement with baby-momma before the hearing or else he would remove himself from the case….. within less than a week of the upcoming hearing!!! Being an interstate jurisdictional matter, I studied the UCCJEA which nationally governs interstate jurisdiction disputes. When I spoke with him and pointed out different points and provisions of the UCCJEA and showed that Oregon hands-down had home state and full jurisdiction over the case, he simply told me I was wrong. (I sincerely doubt he even bothered to familiarize himself with the UCCJEA.). With new counsel by my side Oregon decided that it DID have jurisdiction to decide the case. I guess on one hand I am glad that Pedrojetti refused to argue jurisdiction on my behalf rather than show up to court and not make a good argument. That said, he should have set his pride aside and admitted his ineptitude in arguing jurisdiction rather than tell me that I was wrong. I know lawyers aren’t cheap, but he cost me way more money than the little bit of work he did filing a few documents. Crooked as they come. “Saul Goodman” ………..but without the results.

Attorney Pedrojetti was extremely helpful in what was suppose to be a non contested divorce that quickly turned into a full custody battle. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me navigate through the process. Hopefully I never need to get another divorce but if I did I would call him in a minut...e.
