Posted by Paul | October 26, 2012 | Lawsuits & Disputes

Top-notch representation with a pretty face.

I'm a client of Attorney Dzialo who just had a civil matter resolved with the assistance of Attorney Dzialo. This lady is a rising star in the legal domain and should prove to be a prominent attorney nation-wide very soon if not already. Her style is to be very matter of fact and knowledgeable with a... keen, perceptive ear for percieving information regarding facts which only a sharp attorney might pick out. Her friendly, attractive demeanor is only the icing on the cake, and in my final communication to her I have indicated for her to not go anywhere without telling me first. I certainly want Ms. Dzialo on my side should I ever need an attorney again.

General practice lawyer | Apr 13

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Attorney Kristin N. Gherlone has shown an extreme talent to zealously advocate for her clients. For someone who is relatively new to the Bar, she is completely adept at taking on the challenge of legal cases, no matter what they may be, analyzing the situation with clear legal knowledge, and bringing about a result that her clients feel comfortable with and truly are satisfied with. Furthermore, she has become especially educated in the fields of wills, estates and trusts. In the past year, she has drafted countless estate plans, probated estates and even navigated will contests. I have no problem recommending Attorney Gherlone as a phenomenal attorney that any client and/or attorney would feel lucky and comfortable to work with."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
