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.

Handle my case superbly!

Ralph handle my case superbly! He dealt with all matters directly without playing any games back and forth with the other lawyer. He gave me a level of confidence in my case that I did not get from my previous lawyer. He billed me in a fair manner, skipping charges for communication niceties. He ...has a great knowledge of the law and knows how to move a case, without dragging the case out. I have worked with a few lawyers in the past. Ralph is on the top of my list. I will go to him in future matters before anyone else. I highly recommend him!

Strong Attorney

Ralph took my case to heart and seemed to have as much interest in the case as I did. He is a fighter and stood up to a bully in the opposition. He planned and prepared so deeply and we ended up with the outcome we sought. I highly recommend his services and he will by my "go to" for life.

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.
