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.

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!! !!!!

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!
