Gillette & Izzo Law Office - Syracuse, NY

Empowering Patients and Demanding Medical Accountability

Gillette and Izzo Law Office, located in the heart of downtown Syracuse at Salina Place, focuses exclusively on representing patients and families devastated by medical negligence and catastrophic personal injuries. Founding partner Janet Izzo established the practice in 2013 following decades of civil litigation experience, subsequently joining forces with experienced trial attorney Joshua Gillette to create Gillette and Izzo Law. When a trusted healthcare provider fails to uphold standard medical protocols, patients and their loved ones often need a lawyer urgently to investigate records, identify negligence, and assert their legal rights. The firm combines aggressive trial representation with a client-first philosophy that empowers injured individuals to take control of their legal and medical futures.
