Highly recommend

I was referred to Gwynne by a friend. I was already divorced when my ex-wife served me with papers to amend our separation agreement. I contacted Gwynne right away and she got to work. She let me know that most of what was being asked was ridiculous, that helped me relax. Through several months... Gwynne helped me clean up the weaker areas of my agreement and negotiated an agreement that is closely followed by me and my ex, without constant arguing. I can now relax knowing the custody schedule is on autopilot with no surprises. Through the years, especially during the uncertainty of COVID-19, Gwynne has been there to offer advice on how to handle little situations that have popped up. She is a great resource and I am happy to know that I can reach out to her whenever I need legal advice.

The most caring attorney I have ever known

I was very lucky to have her as my attorney. She is strong, smart, and caring. She made sure she took care of all details so that I didn’t have to balance too much through a divorce process. She ensured I was always in the loop for everything. She has gone on to be my attorney for my personal will ...and estate planning. It’s such a relief to have her guide me through it. Best part about working with her is that she will take you through the process but never make you feel as if she is making decisions for you. It’s so important to have an attorney who is strong yet very understanding… she has always been that way.

Thank you, dear friend, for your faith in me! I am so grateful to have met you and to have assisted you in both areas. A divorce is ALOT to handle - even in the best of circumstances. It is always my aim to explain the necessary steps to take, and the standards of law, and then help you to choose the path forward that is right for you - in your own unique situation. I so appreciate your faith and confidence in me!

Compassionate true professional!

Gwynne Zisko, handles her clients with professionalism and compassion. In the face of adversity and unscrupulous opposition she never compromises her integrity or lowers her standards. She knows the law and explains things in terms that even the layman can understand. My case was not an easy case by ...any means but she handled with confidence and honesty. I would never want to go through a divorce again but if I had to the first person I would contact to have in my corner would be Gwynne Zisko.

Caring and Knowledgeable

Gwynne Zisko helped me at a time when I felt completely alone. She welcomed me and made me feel at home. Gwynne completely understood my situation with my husband and children. She immediately offered sound advice. Her expertise in the area of divorce law is unparalleled. She achieved a settleme...nt for me that allowed me to get out of a bad situation. I have moved on in a positive direction and I owe it all to Gwynne!
