EZ QDRO LAW - The Law Office of J. Eileen Zell, PLLC

Eileen Zell is an expert that collaborates directly with family law attorneys. As a family law attorney, I do not hesitate to recommend Eileen to my clients. I easily advise my clients that hiring Eileen and her trusted assistant Jordan Neff (EZ QDRO Law) is a necessity in the final step of their divorce. Eileen's partnership with my office in cases that involve retirement account division, that involve consultations on complex cases, and that involve her expertise in tracing and growth calculation of non-marital interests has a positive impact on my relationship with the client. Eileen's primary "claim to fame" is her extensive legal and technical knowledge in the area of division of retirement accounts. I know that hiring Eileen's office for this task ensures my client that the division is completed correctly, efficiently, and consistent with the terms of the settlement agreement. Because of Eileen's extensive technical knowledge in this area, I have also recommended in complex cases that Eileen be brought in as a consultant. The purpose is to ensure all available options are explored and to ensure that the complex rules of a plan allow for a preferred option to successfully occur as part of the divorce settlement. It is hard to describe the sense of security of having someone with Eileen's knowledge available to assist my clients. The client is experiencing one of their worse times in their adult life, experiencing turmoil, uncertainty, and fear of the unknown. But, partnering with Eileen allows my clients to start their new life chapter with the knowledge that their future is protected because of the collaboration with EZ QDRO Law. As stated above, Eileen is best known for her legal services with the division of retirement accounts. However, I have also recommended to clients that we hire Eileen as an expert for tracing a client's non-marital interests and calculating the growth of that client's non-marital interests. At times, this has included Eileen testifying as an expert on her tracing and calculations. Eileen testifies extremely well. She is able to communicate technical information, so it is easily understood. Eileen is able to "walk through" her report so the judge understands the information. The benefit for the client is immeasurable during this type of litigation. Eileen has successfully saved my clients substantial amounts of money because of her expertise in this area. I highly recommend any family law attorney to reach out to Eileen at EZ QDRO Law as a collaborating partner in protecting a client's future financial welfare.

Eileen and her team are efficient, friendly and so professional. I was hesitant at first to release my QDRO drafting to anyone. However, a few years ago, I started having Eileen and team draft my QDROS and not only does it make my life easier because they always get them correct, but she has also helped me navigate very complicated issues associated with QDROS. I highly recommend her firm! - Melissa Doss

Eileen Zell is exceptional in every sense of the word. I have known and hired Eileen for all of my QDROs for more than a decade now, and there is no other person I trust more when it comes to asset division of my clients most important asset of how they will support themselves in their retirement years. Whether it is to prepare a QDRO of a 401(k) or to provide consultation or testimony in complex settlements of pensions or other types of deferred compensation, Eileens expertise is truly unparalleled in the industry. She has authored nationally acclaimed treatises and regularly presents at CLE locally and nationally, yet she is still the most down-to-earth attorney I know. She is a blessing to work with and learn from. Also, Jordan in her office is the most professional and sharpest paralegal I have ever come across in my 22 years working in law firms. Jordans quick response and attention to detail coupled with Eileens brilliance and thoughtful ability to explain complex retirement situations are a breath of fresh air in my divorce cases that are already inherently contentious and stressful. In fact, I personally believe there should be a box to check on family lawyers renewal malpractice applications: I use Eileen Zell for all QDROs that gives a discount because you KNOW its done right with her! PLUS, her colorful selection of EZ QDRO LAW markers she passes out at CLEs are amazing! She is the pot of gold to her rainbow markers! :) Fitting!

Eileen and her team are experts at what they do and they are an absolute pleasure to work with. Eileen is a brilliant attorney and I hire her office for not only reviewing and preparing the documents necessary to divide retirement accounts, but to assist with complicated tracing of premarital and separate property interests in investment, pension, IRA and 401(k) accounts. Eileen is incredibly intelligent, responsive, and well-respected by the courts. I have never had a document drafted by Eileen and her team rejected by a plan administrator nor had a court disagree with her analysis on a tracing.
