Outstanding professional

My husband and I would highly recommend Benjamin Zimmerman of Sugarman & Sugarman to anyone seeking the expertise of a malpractice attorney. Our personal injury case was settled favorably and in a very timely manner because of his diligence. We had no idea what to expect when we originally contacte...d him, but he guided and supported us throughout the entire process. His attention to detail was very reassuring and made us feel very confident in his ability to handle our case.

Best Legal Representation

Any situation where you require strong representation is generally undesired. I found myself in need of strong legal support and due to the usually high complexity of my situation, I was directed to the Sugarman law firm. Of course, to hear that my situation was too complex for some attorneys was ver...y daunting. However, during the entire experience while working with Ben Zimmermann, Thomas Smith and the entire team at Sugarman I did not ever notice anything which would indicate that my situation was highly complex or anything other than just a day's work at Sugarman. Everything which I was involved in was done in a timely manner and with the highest level of professionalism. At the Sugarman firm, paramount emphasis and priority is placed on the client and the family. From a client perspective, it's obvious that the most important goal at Sugarman is to create a perfect situation for the client/family, in order to bring closure to an undesired situation. From my first contact to the Sugarman Law Firm until the last contact, the team always responded promptly by either telephone, message or even had the time for a meeting, if required. I cannot say enough positive things about this firm. After working with them, I have a new respect for our legal profession. These gentlemen are the definition of excellence and professional; they are also clearly achievement oriented. I am thankful that my situation was handled by the team at Sugarman. This legal team is known as the "best" for good reason, I strongly recommend consulting the Sugarman firm for any legal situation which requires either delicate or aggressive representation.

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.

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.
