Posted by Pamela | May 12, 2022 | Probate

I needed a lawyer to advise me on a probate matter.

After a DNA test proved without a doubt who my father was, I was advised to go to the Plymouth Probate Court House to review the documents, not knowing what the papers truly meant, i ask for the lawyer of the day. How lucky I was to have a phone call from Attorney Zisko. Her expertise in this area ...was amaizing she was able to pull up the paperwork and show me that everything was correct according to the law. She was able to put closer on this problem in a 30 minute phone call. Attoney Zisko, Thank you for your help!

Dear Pam, You are very welcome, and I thank you for your high praise! Readers should note that the Probate & Family Courts in each county have a program called Volunteer Lawyer for the Day. Local attorneys volunteer for a duty day to help self-represented litigants understand: 1. the law; 2. the required procedure; and 3. the facts/evidence in their own case. I have been volunteering throughout my 30 year career, and I am always happy to meet and assist someone as lovely as you!

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.
