During a particularly challenging period, Attorney Jason Blonska represented me with exceptional skill and compassion. My case was complex, involving a spouse with dementia being exploited by unscrupulous attorneys and his children from a previous marriage. I was drawn to Jason's services upon learning of his track record with similar cases. Opting to engage him over a 'Super Lawyer', I found my decision to be sound when Jason adeptly secured a win for me. Jason's deep legal knowledge and persuasive courtroom arguments are commendable. Despite facing aggressive tactics from the opposition, his demeanor remained composed and resolute. Beyond his professional expertise, Jason's dedication and responsiveness made communication a breeze, offering much-needed solace during trying times. Jason embraced a comprehensive strategy when tackling the legal complexities of my case. His resourcefulness shone through as he collaborated with an esteemed estate law attorney, a partnership that proved pivotal in our triumph. Jason's actions reflect a genuine concern for his clients, coupled with a work ethic that’s both rare and admirable in the legal field today. Above all, Jason is an individual of utmost integrity and sincerity. Discovering Jason was indeed a stroke of good fortune.

If lawyers have a bad rep, this guy makes up for all of that. He will give you new faith in lawyers. He did a post nup for me and not only did a great job, but was also quite reasonable, and so easy to deal with. I love his positive energy; he even shared that he enjoyed working with me. I will definitely use Jason again and refer him, too!

Jason Blonska along with incredible team of professionals truly rock when it comes to handling divorce and support issues in the family law courts. Jason has represented me for the past ten years and without his sage advice I would have been lost and possibly bankrupt. He and his team truly care about their clients and from my perspective when going through a divorce having someone that really knows their stuff is critical.

Jason did not file a document with the court on time which ended up getting all of my evidence thrown out, and I had to settle for a very low sum. My ex husband got our house and had to pay very little child support. He is disorganized, unfocused and unable to take on the top ten lawyers of Orange County. He also had me use a forensic accountant, his friend, which cost me an extra $15,000. This friend did not uncover anything, and even if he had, it could not be entered as evidence. Look elsewhere and save yourself a lot of money and headache.

I recommend Jason Blonska and his firm for anyone going through a tough custody/ divorce in Orange County. I had difficult uphill battle, but with some patience and his firms guidance I ended up with 50/50 custody and no support. His firm works as a team and every one on his staff is extremely responsive. I've already referred my friends/ family to his firm. I hope this helps,

I want to thank Jason Blonska for finally bringing my dissolution to a conclusion, after my previous three attorneys allowed it to be dragged out for three and a half years, charging enormous fees throughout that time. He achieved a settlement that I can live with on our first court appearance with him as my attorney. When my dissolution began, I was facing the complete loss of custody of my very young daughter and significant financial loss as well. None of my previous attorneys seemed to be working diligently on my case and none seemed to be well prepared to argue my case on our numerous court appearances. On some court appearances not much happened and my case was simply continued for another three or four months. Other court appearances resulted in the engagement of fee charging “experts”, an evaluator, a psychiatrist and a parenting coach. There was always a carrot held out, jump through one more hoop and you will likely get more custody. Eventually, I saw a movie entitled “Divorce Corp”, available to see on Netflix or buy from Amazon. This movie opened my eyes to the vulnerability of parents (in child custody disputes) to fleecing by lawyers, evaluators, various parenting experts and an enabling court system. I began looking for an honest lawyer who would finish my case and get me out of this never ending process. Fortunately, a friend of my sister recommended Jason Blonska. He was confronted with my huge pile of documents which had accumulated since my case began and he used them to advantage in preparing for court. Also, Mr. Blonska’s staff was every efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I so appreciate having found him through a recommendation that I am going to pass that recommendation on to all who read this.

I was referred to Jason Blonska in 2009 by a highly respected Superior Court Family Law Judge. I was referred to several highly regarded attorneys in Orange County and decided to retain Jason for a difficult case. The case consisted of the reinstatement of my spousal support in 2014, which was five years beyond the end of the non-modifiable payment obligation in 2009; after my daughter graduated from high school. My Dissolution of Marriage was finalized in 2002, at which time our marital standard of living was high and I was awarded 8 years of spousal and child support which ended in July 2009. I was a stay-at-home mom for 10 years of my long term marriage. I returned to my professional career in 2004 part time to become financially independent. In 2009, I lost my position as a senior executive and my alimony ended simultaneously. This was a very difficult time for me and my daughter. Jason was very sympathetic and provided legal and emotional support to me. He coached me through my job search and made professional contacts on my behalf. He sent my ex-husband a letter asking him to provide financial support to assist me through this period of unemployment. I called Jason on many occasions feeling very anxious due to my stressful job search and financial situation. I was very worried. He continually assured me that I would be okay and that if I could not secure a new position soon, that we would file for a continuation of alimony. He was always available and continually positive and reassuring. I secured a new position in 2010 ----and then in January 2013 my new position and group was eliminated, and I was again unemployed. I was 56 years old at that time and divorced for over 10 years. I aggressively employed all of my resources during this extensive job search for over a year. In March 2014, Jason recommended that he file a Modification of Spousal Support, or a continuation of alimony. My ex-husband, a health care professional, hired one of the most highly regarded law firms in Orange County and retained the firms female founding partner to represent him. He was adamant about providing any additional support payments. I was extremely concerned and anxious about my situation, but Jason reassured me that he would do all he could to get my Spousal Support reinstated. Jason and his staff tirelessly helped me prepare for the court date, and his professional colleague, Shannon R. Thomas worked with me to prepare the supporting documentation for my case. Jason, Shannon and his staff provided unparalleled emotional support and kindness. The full day case was held in Orange County Superior Court. Jason requested the reinstatement of my support payments subsequent to my divorce being finalized for over 10 years, and five years after my support payments ended. The attorney for my husband was one of the best; very intimidating and had over 35 years of family law litigation experience. Jason was calm and polite under pressure. He was extremely prepared and knew my case well. The Judge ruled to reinstate my support payments for one year and the court would continue to retain jurisdiction over my circumstances. The court also awarded me six months of retroactive support payments. The attorney for my ex-husband requested that the court provide no support payments and filed an order to TERMINATE JURISDICTION to award spousal support to petitioner. Jason's professionalism and calm demeanor in presenting my case concisely resulted in the favorable ruling by the Judge. He is also extremely conscientious in all matters. Jason continues to provide support whenever I call and is always reassuring. I would highly recommend Jason and his professional colleagues for any family law matters. He is the best.

Mr. Blonska is a family law specialist. He was recommended to me. He was always 100% honest and always well prepared. He was always fair in his billings. His office was always attentative to my special circumstances. His office was incredible in their followup, scheduling depositions and sorting through large amounts of documents. As you can imagine, it was a stressful time. I knew that they cared about me and my case. I would highly recommend the firm.

I hired Jason about 10 years ago when I was still very young, naive, and was a single, new mom who had no where to turn to. At the time, I was working my way through grauduate school, and was working two part-time jobs. Jason and his firm was the first attorney I talked to when I received a court order for custody of my daughter from her father whom she doesn't know (this was a paternity case as I was never married). I was so stressed and helpless with no one I could trust. I remember crying and praying everyday. It was my first court order ever and my only thought was to never have my daughter taken from me (she was 3 years old at the time). Jason and his firm were the first people I talked to and of course the young and naive me was sold on their service. They assured me everything would be ok, and I hired them on the spot without talking to other attorneys or consulting with friends and family. I was so naive I trusted them! Once they took my deposit ($5,000) which was a big chunk of money for me at that time, Jason never once talked to me again until court date. The only communication I had was with his paralegal! He was all about the money! He charged me for every minute they interacted/ talked with me, minutes the other party and his attorney called him (which was ridiculously more then I interacted with them), pieces of paper, envelopes, stamps, tissues, and other bs on the bill. You can imagine how quickly and expensive the bill racked up when they were charging almost $200/hour. I remember looking at the bill they sent me weekly or so on top of the initial deposit. I cried every night on how I can pay it, and stressing about having a chance at losing my daughter at the same time. I had to take on additional tutoring time, working late hours after school as I was studying to become a teacher. I was so helpless, and so young, I couldn't think like I do now. However, I managed to always pay them on time throughout the case. In court, I saw Jason again and he had a very mellow demeanor, and I don't think he cared much about my case. I was just an easy MONEY target. He never once fought for what I wanted. All he did was tried to convince me to stipulate with the other party even before standing up in front of the judge. He did NOT represent me at all!! I didn't feel like he was MY attorney. It seemed like he was working for the other party. My gut told me this felt odd, and in the end the naive me was once again convinced into a deal that I didn't want. We stipulated into a raw deal. He NEVER fought for me after all the money I had paid. The case didn't seem to go anywhere, it was the same as it began with. The bill, however, quickly racked up to over $10,000 for nothingness and I couldn't afford to pay him anymore. I told them that, and they sent me a paper signing off for them to not represent me anymore. They didn't even come up with a resolution to help me because they see that they couldn't suck anymore money from out of me. I paid the every last dime without questioning any bs on those bills because that the kind of person I was. I ended up representing myself and I did MUCH MORE than what Jason did for me. I talked in front of the judge and got something FAR better than what Jason tried to convince me into stipulating!! Towards the end of the case, I found out from the court that Jason did not file paper work that he was suppose to file for me! I called them and they said "he was in a meeting", and he never bothered to call me back or help me figure it out. I eventually figured it out on my own. What I learn from this is that what they say about attorneys are true: "Attorneys are snakes!" And Jason and his firm fall right into that stereotype. I believe in Karma so I'm fine losing over $10,000. If you're looking for an attorney who genuinely cares and is on your side to fight for you, Jason is NOT the guy. I hope he was able to sleep at night knowing that his actions affected a young child and her mother.

Hiring Jason allowed me to go through a very difficult situation feeling that I was not only working with an excellent lawyer but someone that truly cared about the outcome of my divorce and the financial impact I would be responsible for long term. Jason explained every aspect of the divorce in layman's terms and worked hard to be sure that I understood the legal terms and the reasons behind each aspect presented. It has been refreshing to know that when I needed Jason because there was something that concerned me, I could text or email him even on a weekend or in the evenings and I would get a response. There aren't a lot of people that care this much for their clients and I would highly recommend Jason to anyone that has to go through this unfortunate situation.
