Then my friend recommended Zhanna.  From the first few minutes of meeting Zhanna, I knew that she can and will help me.  She took the time to listen to understand my situation and gave me the best options to move forward.  She fought for my/my children’s interest and supported me every step of the way (box of tissues and kind words included) to a happy outcome. I am very grateful for Zhanna’s help. I continue to work with her on family law matters, like wills and advance directives, etc.

Seven years ago, my husband of 13 years walked away from me and my three young children. I was devastated and trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces of my broken life. I sought out the advice of other divorcees and met with a few attorneys that specialized in family law. Some left me feeling like I was a dollar sign, some left me feeling even more overwhelmed than I was before I entered their offices, and some just didn’t understand how I felt about being divorced and instructed me to do things that made me incredibly uncomfortable. When I met Zhanna, I felt that she understood how to approach my divorce as it uniquely applied to me. She took the time to understand my priorities in life, my wishes, and my philosophy on raising my children. And though, she didn’t always agree with my ideas, she respected me enough to listen and offered candid, intelligent, yet honest and professional advice. When you are going through one of the most difficult situations, it is very hard to think clearly and rationally. It is also hard to know in this unfamiliar situation, how to protect yourself from what the future will most certainly bring when you get divorced. Zhanna was available to me throughout the entire divorce process and made me feel valued and important during a time when I seldom felt that way. She was patient, strong, deliberate, and kind all at the same time. I attribute much of my happiness today to the way she help me handle my divorce.
