Calm but aggressive, practical but sympathetic

Worked with Taryn for several years through a 'tricky' divorce and a post-divorce motion. I found Taryn (and her supporting team) to be well-researched, very experienced, and clear in her guidance and advice. She frequently provides multiple options, with a perspective on potential range of outcome...s, and involves the client in decision-making. I found her to be very down-to-earth and while professional, she is also relatable. In the end, while the process is invariably stressful, emotional, and taxing, Taryn helped me to feel in control, educated me on my options, and helped to avoid major surprises. After the divorce was finalized, Taryn continued to support me and helped to settle (very successfully) a post-divorce motion without having to go to court. Taryn also has a deep bench of experts across a variety of disciplines (private investigators, parenting coordinators, expert attorneys, accountants, etc) who have proven to be invaluable. Highly recommend.

The Best

The firm as a whole is a very friendly and welcoming place. Taryn specifically made me feel like I was her only client, getting me through a fairly messy divorce. I have no complaints. Thanks again Taryn.

Thorough and Dynamic Advocate

Taryn was my second lawyer hired when I felt my first was not strongly advocating for me. My divorce was settled satisfactorily and to my benefit, and I have an ongoing child custody case that Taryn is continuing to handle. She responds timely, is very honest with her opinions, and does not misle...ad me. She gives realistic and knowledgeable advice based on her expected outcomes, which I believe is important. She makes me feel important and cared for as a client; I don’t feel like just another number. She remembers fine details of my case and even after months of downtime in my case, she is able to pick right up where we left off. I truly admire her passion and persistence in advocating for me and my daughter. She is a powerhouse and I’m glad I have her by my side during this difficult time.

Caring, strong, knowledgeable, responsive

Taryn came recommended by a friend who consulted with her in the past. Although I would much rather not deal with a family attorney, my ugly divorce required professional help. From the time of the initial consultation, she eased my concerns about the divorce and answered all of my questions in a tim...ely matter. My case was very difficult, ugly and highly contested. There were hurdles every step of the way and she (along with her colleagues) strategically addressed each one of them. My case was further complicated by the incompetence of the judge and other individuals involved in the case. Although I never thought I would be able to resolve the issues raised in this case, Taryn worked diligently and tirelessly to get me the most favorable (given the circumstances) settlement. It wasn't a victory I had pursued, for it was very costly to me, but it was far better than going to a bench trial with a judge who simply wanted the case to go away. I believe that it is Taryn's perseverance along with the joint efforts of her colleagues that got me through this nasty divorce. Because of Taryn's involvement in the case, I did not have to put my life on hold while the case was pending and continued to advance my career. I highly recommend her without any reservation for any and all of your family law needs.

HIGHEST Recommendation

I can't say enough wonderful things about Taryn Zimmerman. She came highly recommended by another attorney in the area. I had already been divorced, using mediation and a different attorney, however the consent order and child support was not being adhered to by my former spouse. I was looking fo...r an intelligent attorney with a keen sense and who would be efficient in helping to revise and possibly recreate a document that would be adhered to. Additionally, I required legal assistance in bringing my ex's child support arrears, and other work related child costs current, as my attempts to do so independently failed and the lack of financial support was impacting me significantly. After my initial meeting with Taryn, I immediately knew that I was in excellent hands and that my case and concerns would be taken seriously, the best advice be given and in a timely fashion. I quickly learned that what separates her from some other attorneys whose cases are being prepared by other legal professionals, is that she lives, breathes and knows the case inside and out because SHE prepares and perfects the case. As skillfull and thorough as Taryn is when corresponding via email or phone, her skills, her demeanor in the courtroom is additionally impressive and she clearly stands out in comparison to the other attorneys that I have witnessed. Her personal practice is one of efficiency, professionalism, while still allowing a safe, comfortable and open forum for the client to express themselves and feel heard. I trusted her guidance and advice at a time that was emotionally charged. I felt that in addition to being abreast of the legalities of the proceedings, she was incredibly mindful of the social - emotional challenges that exist during the time of marital dissolution and the aftermath. My document was not only revised in my favor, but with her help, my former spouses child support arrears were made current and I was awarded attorney fees for excessive time that my former spouse delayed the case. I stand by the statement that I would and do recommend Taryn to anyone who asks for a family law attorney recommendation. I recently referred two friends to Taryn, one having a rather complex situation and both were very happy with the services. Divorce and its legal proceeding echo for years especially when children are involved. I am so fortunate to have found Taryn and know that both my son's and my best interests will be protected long term.
