Awesome Appellate Attorney!!!

Gusdorff Law, PC if fantastic! Ms. Gusdorff is one of the best appellate attorneys who I have ever met. She is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, affordable, and very easy to speak with. Bang for the buck, in my opinion, you won't find a better appellate attorney. Ms. Gusdorff successfully... researched and drafted an appeal to a So. Cal. district court, appealing a dismissal of my case via motion for summary judgement. Her oral argument skills were every bit as impressive as her law and motion practice! I could not recommend an attorney more than Ms. Gusdorff. In my opinion, you're in good hands with .... Gusdorff Law, PC!!!

Appeals lawyer | Aug 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I’ve had the opportunity to consult with Janet on several occasions and to work with her closely on an appeal. Her approach is not just meticulous, but practical. Her analytical ability, writing, and instinct for identifying issues — especially in tough cases — make her outstanding where it really counts in appeals. She has a knack for presenting even the most technical issues as an easy-to-understand "big picture." As an appeals lawyer myself, I am grateful to have Janet as a resource to consult from time to time, and I would consider myself lucky to work on more cases with her in the future."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Janet is hard-working, loyal and cares very much about the client’s needs. She worked for our firm for about seven years and her growth during that period was striking. She was voted a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers magazine (Southern California) and I fully agree with that assessment. I highly recommend her."

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.
