years ago, connie was assigned as legal guardian to my child in an awful custody battle lanched by my child's absent father. connie misrepresented me and my child and put us in a very dangerous position. by the grace of God and because the truth always prevails, I won custody and raised my child to become a healthy successful and happy adult. connie is the type of lawyer who will fight like a pitbull for whomever is paying her, regardless of potential harm to innocent children.

I hired Jessica Saks because she was recommended. Not only was she extremely hard to get a call back from, probably call 6-8 times over 3 weeks before she’d return the call, but she was also sloppy looking when she got to court, wearing crocs, didn’t brush her hair. She charged $2500 and we only had three 30 minute appearances, one 25 minute consult, one phone call for maybe 15 minutes and talked for maybe 10 minutes before each appearance. Don’t waste your money, you can represent yourself and do the same thing she does. LAZY!

Jessica Sax is an excellent attorney in family law. She did an amazing job, met with us at mutually convenient location and time, and definitely stepped up in the court room. When things could have been rough; she clearly explained options, possibilities and recommendations to help us come up with mutual agreements.

This lawyer was court appointmented. She did not follow though with her job of representing my grandsons..she never visited them in their mothers home environment or their school..she was negligent on all levels.she had notices of police records reports of abuse as well as CPS . Children deserve someone who cares. She did not represent my grandsons adequately ..urging the judge to instead to return them to an unfit home where there were allegations of sexual abuse, abuse and neglect . I'm saddened that my grandsons who can't speak for themselves ended up with this person.
