The Best in the Business!

I contacted Jenna with a complex legal issue after being jerked around by several other attorneys. Jenna was open, honest, and highly responsive and quickly helped to resolve my issue. Jenna is by far the best attorney I have ever retained, and I am extremely grateful for her professionalism and expe...rtise.

Effective Efficient

Attorney Fliszar is a consummate professional. She inhabits the legal spheres in which she practices completely and authoritatively. If you want a knowledgeable attorney who has the answers and is a reliable diviner of where you are going based on where you have been and the current facts of your sit...uation, she is the best you will find.

I should be in prison!

Attorney Jenna Fliszar went above and beyond my expectations!!! After consulting at least 8 other local lawyers, all of which were shady and negative. I settled on Mrs. FLISZAR because from the start she was highly motivated, superbly educated, and most of all extremely positive!!!! If your searching... for a review written in depth by a "REAL" person, who has been involved criminally with the legal system, for many years...listen up. I got in a lot of trouble after my honorable discharge from active duty in the USMC. I am 35 now and was in trouble constantly during my mid 20s. Suffering from PTSD and addiction I have extensive knowledge of Lehigh and Northampton county lawyers...most of which are spread to thin to even handle minor summary offenses on their own, And 9 times out of 10 they will beg you to take a guilty plea, the same thing a public defender will do. You know when an attorney answers their office phone that means they are too cheap to hire a secretary and a paralegal to run the office. Attorney Fliszar has both a secretary and paralegal. I was looking at 60 days to a year in prison for driving to work on a suspended license(dui-related). Within minutes of consulting with me Jenna had a game plan and was very optimistic and reassuring to my fiance and I. We were so drained mentally and physically from the thought of me being locked up on Christmas, dealing with other lawyers, and our two young daughters finding out, possibly losing our house, and maybe my $30+ an hour job. Jenna put my mind at ease almost within minutes and was a breath of fresh air, after 15 calls to other halfass lawyers. She took my case even though I have alot of baggage and prior convictions. She didn't let that interfere with her strategy. I talked to some other lawyers (Chris shipman,John waldron,karoly,phil lauer,Alex karam)all of which told me they wanted ridiculous retainer fees $3000 then basically told me straight up that their not miracle workers and I should expect to do the time...WTF?...those guys are just about taking your money and paying for their brand new sports cars. The only reason I have the DUI is bc I payed Chris Shipman $3000 to defend me and I blew a 0.0 they never did a blood test and he told me to take a guilty plea....DO NOT ever hire him!!! JENNA FLISZAR is the most intelligent, down to earth, goal driven, honest, sincere, attorney I have had the pleasure to represent me and save my family and I from our criminal justice system which has become out of control and all about warehousing of people, drowning poor taxpayers into debt with costs and fines, and burdening the families of the convicted with outrageous costs of communication and commissary to help a loved one in the sytem. Jail is a billion dollar industry. Thanks to legit lawyers like Jenna who are affordable and straight forward about costs I was able to put this driving on a suspended License(DUI)related behind me. And give my family the wonderful Christmas they deserve...Jenna if I wasn't just a poor working man trying to feed his family I'd pay you even more. Mrs. Fliszar THANKYOU from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Thank you Attorney Fliszar

Hi Attorney Fliszar, We want to thank you for agreeing to handle our case and for the job that you did in defending us. In this case you were able to ensure that justice was served. During the trial, we were particularly impressed by your ability to set the stage and then expose the lies, exaggerat...ions and other misinformation that the actual complainant tried to use against us. Also impressive was your ability to quickly adapt to boundaries imposed by the judge on the information that could be presented. We appreciate the time that you spent with us in our face to face preparatory meeting, and your accessibly to respond to other questions that we had. Thank you for a job well done.

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.
