ARD case

I retained Jenna's services after getting charged with a DUI, first offense, no prior record, so I qualified for ARD. Jenna was extremely helpful to me throughout the entire process, from helping me fill out the paperwork, to getting some of the charges dropped to avoid a license suspension. She fo...ught for my case and achieved the best possible outcome for my situation. I am extremely satisfied with her services and would recommend her to anyone. She is knowledgeable, competent, and professional.

BEWARE---DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE!!

I hired this attorney for my Dui in Lehigh co. I'm a guy so I thought it might be better with a female lawyer and she told me she does lots of dui cases so I thought she might have some pull with the police and the judge but when we went to the 1st court she barely said anything and just had me sign... some papers and then when we went to the bigger court later on she was the same way and when I told the judge's helper who my lawyer was they didn't know her. And then I was watching a bunch of the other laywers in the courtroom and I realized that this lawyer is very young and not too experienced. So I kinda got lured in cause her fee wasn't too high but I wish I would've paid a little more to get someone well known and knows a lot. I don't think I got treated unfairly by anyone but I realized I got no special breaks in my case cause my lawyer couldn't help me and no one knows her. I was watching 2 other female lawyers talking to their clients and then I saw them get a big break from the DA so then I knew I made a bad decision. This lawyer is pretty nice but not the aggressive and experienced kind that most people would want so I figured I should put a warning on here that she's nice but too young and can't really help you much.

Unfortunately, this writer is anonymous, and the allegations do not sound familiar. I cannot even guess who the writer is, or if he or she was in fact a client. We are all entitled to an opinion, and I am sorry that this writer feels shortchanged. However, my reputation among the courts and my peers is one of aggressive, exceptional representation, and my preparedness is never compromised. Additionally, despite this reviewer's claims to the contrary, people in Lehigh County do indeed know who I am. Not only do I represent clients there regularly, I am on the Board of Directors of the Lehigh County Bar Association, am the Chair of the Lehigh County Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division, Bar Memorials, and Mock Trial Competition, and I serve as court appointed counsel in juvenile cases. All of this allows me to work closely with various members of the court. My training, experience, and multiple other positive reviews speak for themselves.

BEST DUI Defense!!!

Attorney Fliszar really knows her stuff; that was clear from the first time we talked. She knew the law and the process went exactly as she told me it would.  I was pulled over at around midnight in Bethlehem, and lets just say I was over the limit.   Not my first offense, either.  So needless to s...ay I was looking at some serious consequences.  Then I hired Attorney Fliszar.  The process was slow, and dragged out, but she had warned me that the courts can drag their feet.  She had feedback from the assistant DA within a day or two, and was able to work out a deal.  I heard the one DA say that they like working with Attorney Fliszar because she is reasonable and professional.  Without Attorney Fliszar's help, I know I would have spent some time in jail and probably lost my license for an even longer time.  It was a huge relief having her handle my case, I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!!

Incredible DUI Representation!!

Attorney Fliszar represented me recently in a DUI case...and all charges were dismissed!!! Jenna EASILY has the most extensive advanced training in DUI defense of any Lehigh Valley lawyer. I did my research when hiring her, and it sure paid off. She knows the law; sometimes I thought she knew it... better than the judge in the case, telling him the cases that supported her defense, and using the evidence in our favor. Her responsiveness was incredible, even taking calls past her office hours, and walking me through each step in the process. I've had other attorneys disappear after I paid them their retainer, but Jenna was different. It's cheesy, but it seemed like she truly cared about me and my situation, and wanted to fight for me. I really appreciated her level of dedication to my case. I highly recommend Attorney Fliszar for DUI defense in the Allentown / Bethlehem / Easton area.

Representation at a hearing

Jenna did an excellent job representing me at a hearing. She was prepared to present my case to the magistrate, asked appropriate questions of the officers and witnesses, referred to case law when defending my position to the judge, and was professional in all interactions. I was very pleased with he...r conduct and representation.
