Reviews

John Wagner and his staff have provided me, an out of state client, with excellent service and representation in my high conflict situation. The team is responsive, listens to my perspective, and crafts an argument that makes logical sense to the judge and importantly gets the desired outcome. Very happy with the outcomes I've had over several issues - thanks John, Sam, and the rest of the team.
I came to John Wagner at Turken and Porzenski after having a difficult experience with a previous lawyer. My initial visit with John, he specifically told me "I don't think there is much chance of your situation changing, and I don't feel right taking your money for a case that I know won't gain anything for you." I valued that honesty greatly. Which is why 6 months later, when things actually did change, I came back. And this time John said "now we have a case, and now this is the right time." The details of the case are not important, but suffice to say that John knew that what I wanted to do, and what was right to do, were different. He advised me correctly to act quickly instead of waiting. He advised me to document and collect all the correct materials, and to hire a GAL for the case. In court, he helped convince the judge and GAL that I was good for my daughter, and as a result I now have custody of my daughter. I think most positive reviews are because a case is won. Even if it didn't turn out this way, I can say that John reduced my stress and anxiety a million fold, because he was always available to communicate and talk me off the ledge when I was worried or angry. He even restrained me from sending an angry letter to the opposing party. Our experience was so great, that even my mother (not a party to this case) wrote him a letter to thank him for making this (otherwise stressful) experience, not just tolerable, but manageable. Everyone says "I know a good lawyer!" And so do I. If you need family law, at least give this firm a call and request a consult with John. And tell him I said so.
I used this firm for nearly 10 years of divorce proceedings and modifications. I never felt that I was being used or taken adavantage of for monetary gain. I always felt that my best interests were maintained My fees were half of what my ex-wife paid to her attorney during this process. I highly recommend Turken and Porzenski. I would use them again if I had to do this all over again or if I have future modifications to litigate
Selecting a family law attorney can be very difficult and it seems that many want to tell you what you want to hear. That isn't the case with Joe Porzenski. Joe is honest with you when setting expectations and won't sugar coat anything. I really appreciated this with Joe. I also felt that Joe really cared about me and my situation. I could feel that he was in it with me and wanted to get the best outcome as if it was his own situation he was fighting for. He understood what was most important to me and fought hard for that. I would recommend Joe and his firm for anyone in the need for family law services.
I would highly, highly recommend John Wagner to any one that is going through a divorce. He is very professional, even keel and reassuring through every step of the divorce process. He and his support staff, Sam was always so nice, understand the emotions that you go through and truly care. I will always be thankful that he was recommended to me. Thanks so much John.....
