Ziska John R Attorney At Law

I highly recommend John Ziska! He was the 3^rd attorney I hired after the first 2 were less than honorable. John Ziska turned my life situation around, completing my divorce quickly and as fairly as seemed possible. I can’t begin to describe my relief at the great job he did right from the very beginning through completion of the divorce. To me the first 2 lawyers were interested only in my assets, accomplishing little while charging what I considered incredibly high rates. John Ziska was quick, efficient, ethical, caring and straightforward in all aspects of his job and billing. Mr. Ziska was my advocate from the beginning. In court, John Ziska was always calm and professional, even when the other Attorneys were not. If you are looking for an honorable, ethical Attorney, look no further than John R. Ziska. Sincerely, Steve M.

John is, without a doubt, the best, most skilled, ethical, and compassionate family lawyer in the San Gabriel Valley. He knows the court system and the law inside and out, he is very available to his clients, he doesn’t do unnecessary work, he gives insightful advice, he is always thoroughly prepared, and at the end of the day he obtained a result in my divorce that exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone going through the trauma of a divorce. I only wish I’d listened to him when he told me I shouldn’t worry because everything was going to work out okay.

John was a blessing to our family. He is upfront, honest,
and will save you grief and money. His knowledge of how
the court system works will make a huge difference in your outcome
and peace of mind.
I highly recommend John for a clean, fair, respectable divorce.
He knows what the court precedents are and advises you to settling around those parameters… so instead of wasting thousands of dollars
like less respectable attorneys chasing things that they know aren’t ever
going to happen… he gives you the upfront, simple answers that work.

$ 10,000 in Fees, and nothing to show for it. he advised me to cave on every aspect of divorce. I could go into detail but rest assured I would not recommend Mr Ziska — at least in a divorce case (my only first hand experience with him). Honestly got a worse deal than if I had just agreed to everything she wanted on day one. Weird huh?
Property settlement — we each had appraisals on home, his advice was just to take hers as is, no negotiation.
Spouse support — very little negotiation that ended up at state minimum anyway. Caved again.
Child support –I have my child 100% of time yet his advice was to fix custody etc at ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. No child support was included although both parties understood there was child support issues.
Two years have passed and I have since been lucky enough to fix most of his work. (yes, I am still bitter)
I really don’t know what his specialty is. But for family law? YIKES! No way. If I could assign a negative star value I would have.
I sincerely hope that this review prompts someone else to continue looking. I know I should have.
