Gwynne Gorton Zisko

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.

Do not pay this "Attorney" a retainer. I paid her $5000.00 on December 16, 2021, which is when my check was deposited. On January 10, 2022, I had not heard anything from her. I called her office and she said she was waiting for my retainer. I explained to her she had deposited my check on the date a...bove. She then put the paperwork together and supposedly mailed my complaint on January 12th. I sent her a text message on January 27th asking if there was anything from the court. She replied, "sorry for the delay, I will be completing the complaint and filing it this week". I responded you mailed it on January 12. She replied, That's right, I remember putting it in the mailbox. On February 17, I requested a case/docket number, but still nothing. On February 28th, I requested a statement and never got a reply. On March 15th, due to the lack of any progress, I sent her a text stating that no progress has been made so I want to pick up my paperwork. On March 18th, I received a phone call from her stating the court had sent my paperwork back and rejected what she filed! I said great, I will come and pick up my paperwork and my retainer. She did not allow me to come and pick it up, cowardly she mailed my retainer. She also did not include any of my paperwork. I was billed $1,124.80 for paperwork that was never filed and rejected by the court. It took me until April 5th to get my paperwork. So I was billed $1,124.80 and made no progress for almost 4 months. This case also involves my 10-year-old son. This attorney failed me and my son.

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
