Very helpful

Gwynne Zisko was very helpful during our intake call today. I am a bit of a ways from her and she still took the time to speak with me. I would definitely recommend her as she has 30 years experience and is very responsive.

Wonderful Attorney to speak to

Although I live too far for Gwynne to actually represent me, she has answered multiple questions I've had. She's very understanding as well as reassuring and pleasant every time I encounter her on here. She has really stood out, even if just through the Q&As.

Decreased my stress level.

I received a free phone consultation with Gwynne, my conversation was so pleasant. I had been running around like a headless chicken worried and stressed about my situation, she was able to put me at ease. She was very passionate when answering my questions. I feel so relieved after speaking to her. ...Thank you so very much Gwynne for boosting my confidence.

SHE'S A UNICORN

Gwynne Zisko is a unicorn. An absolutely mythical creature, so I thought. Good people, do exist. Selfless. She is NOT my lawyer, in full disclosure. My situation is serious. I've been guided to organizations that can help, should be able to help. They either didn't respond or passed the buck to oth...er organizations. ( who never reached out or called back ) . I posted a question on a site, she responded almost immediately. Very helpful. I didn't follow up, I actually forgot. SHE followed up. Repeatedly. Never implied I should retain her services. Not a hint of solicitation. Pure sincerity in trying to help a fellow human who desperately needs help. All too often lawyers get a bad rap. Before her, I bought into it. Empathetic, Selfless lawyers do not strictly exist in movies. If any of my closest loved ones needed a family lawyer, I will steer them to the Sledgehammer with a smile that is Gwynne Gorton Zisko. I hope you see this review Gwynne. I mean every single word. Wish I could have worded it better. Thank you so much for being you. You might not see the impact you're having, slowly as the courts are running, I AM! from the depths of my heart, thank you!! !!!!

Highly recommended Attorney

I highly recommend Attorney Zisko . First she gave the best answer to my question on AVVO by recommending a no trespassing order for my situation rather than a restraining order which requires imminent danger situation which was not the case but was recommended by 2 other attorney respondents. Second... when I sent her a message regarding my situation she gave me a free 30 minute phone consultation clearly explaining my legal choices. I was willing to pay for further consultation but she explained that it would not be necessary at the moment but that she would be available to help if needed in the future. If needed this is the first attorney I will call. Thanks for your excellent and professional assistance with my case Gwynne it is very much appreciated. Patrick

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.
