Very Responsive and Professional

We came to Mr. Smisko with a problem with a contract that we had not been able to resolve directly with the opposing party for 8 months. He was very responsive and asked for all the details regarding our contract. After quickly digesting all those details, he came back with a proposed resolution an...d drafted a powerful letter to the opposing party. This letter had an immediate effect and our issue was resolved. Mr. Smisko communicated with us every step of the way, keeping us in the loop on the progress and all communication. A great job!

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.
