SAVED OUR FAMILY

Back in the early 1980’s, my ex-wife, who had abandoned us when my son was six months old, kidnapped him 2 years later. It took me 6 months to find them in Oregon. The authorities in Oregon told me I needed a court order to bring him back to California or face arrest if I just took him. So I went up ...to Oregon to see him and returned to California to begin legal proceedings. This was a serious situation and I could not take any chances screwing it up. I was young about 23 and I didn’t have much money. I was recommended to Mr. Ziska by a friend. I thank God that I found Mr. Ziska. After listening to my story and my financial situation, Mr. Ziska waived his retainer and only billed me for time when he was actually on the case. For example he would not charge me for say travel time to the court, only for the time at the court. He also allowed me to make monthly payments. At the end of the case I was awarded full custody of my son with my ex having limited and monitored visitation. He pulled this off at a time when in liberal California custody was always given to the mother and fathers getting custody was definitely not the norm. It was beginning to change, but hadn’t changed at that time. Mr. Ziska was definitely a “Godsend”, a tremendous blessing to me . . . my son . . . my family. I would highly recommend Mr. Ziska with absolutely no reservations. He has a good heart as well being an excellent and professional attorney. I believe that he is more concerned with the lives of those he comes in contact with than the money he in turn receives for his services. No doubt money is necessary, but I don’t believe it is his focus. God bless you John.

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.
