Divorce Attorney

Ralph guided me, a middle aged man with three young boys through a convoluted, tumultuous, divorce, after an 18-year marriage. After initially meeting with him, I knew that he had the expertise to help support me though this process. What I didn't know was how compassionate and understanding he would... be to me, a broken man who was a fraction of what he used to be. He knew EXACTLY what to look for in the evidence hearing, he knew what was fair and he knew how to provide counsel to a man who was going through an emotional rollercoaster. Ralph helped me get fair custody of my children, he helped me keep and stay in my house, and he helped me get a fair settlement for my ex. I couldn't have asked for better counsel during the hardest period I've ever faced in my life. If you're going through a divorce and need representation, there's no one I could suggest to work with more than Ralph. He was a rock me and I'll always be grateful for him.

Great experience - great result

Ralph was recommended to me from another attorney and I was very happy I took their advice. He was tough, yet reasonable and it was clear to me that he wanted the best outcome possible. He helped guide me through the process and was always available to answer my questions and follow through with an...y needs I had. I really appreciated his council and would highly recommend him to anyone going through a complicated divorce or any divorce for that matter.

Ralph Gzik was superb!

I had Ralph in a worker's comp case for two years, that was emotional and difficult for me to cope w. He kept in constant communication w me, so I was never left in the dark. Ralph was honest and even went out of his way to meet w senior attorneys in order to figure out how he could get me the best r...esults. He immediately got me the wages I needed to survive while I was unable to work, while also being the first to contact my doctors, physical therapists, etc. in order to also get me the treatment that I needed to heal. Ralph was in my corner to help me the best he could, even when that meant he benefitted less from it. Our case eventually went to settlement, and Ralph more than doubled the amount for me during negotiating. Because of Ralph, I was able to go through several years getting the treatment and lost wages that I needed to survive. All too often, people are injured at work, and then forced to go back to work, still injured and worsening, just to survive. I was lucky to have Ralph. Ralph even got me the treatment I will need for the future! Furthermore, even well after the case had closed, Ralph still supported and helped me. He is committed to actually helping his clients. He really is an excellent, personable attorney, and I highly recommend him.

Great experience and professional lawyer in town

At Kroll and johnson PC I found the legal representation that I was looking for. I Hired Ralph Gzik, a Trustworthy, Understanding knowledgable and a very professional attorney for a divorce/child support matter. Ralph is a great communicator, From my first meeting with him, I felt comfortable. He t...old me what to expect, and how he was going to proceed with my case. We would have upfront discussions about the risks and costs of each strategy. At no time did I feel like he pushed a direction that wasn’t in my best interest. Ralph has kept in loop throughout the entire process. I am very proud to have chosen him as my attorney.He was available on a daily basis and responded directly to my questions promptly and professionally. Ralph showed his best at all times. Thanks to his hard work and effort and dedication he won my case and i was very satisfied with the outcome. I would definitely highly recommend and referrer Ralph Gizk to friends and family,and any one going through a divorce case matter, and for myself once again.Thanks you very much Ralph such an honer to have been your client.

A fine lawyer with emotional intelligence.

Our family hired Ralph to represent a family member in a complex divorce/custody case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professional knowledge, complimented by an emotional intelligence rare in the legal profession. We were fortunate to have been represented with such skill a...nd sensitivity. Mr. Gzik also managed to overcome having to work with Oregon courts on behalf of a client who lived outside the state. Ralph maintained a collaboration with opposing counsel which made resolution far less difficult. To say that we are pleased with his work on our behalf is a massive understatement. He listened to us and we willingly followed his considered advice. If you are in need of legal representation, I would recommend Ralph Gzik without qualification or hesitation.
