Worst lawyer in New Jersey

Worst lawyer in New Jersey… Better off getting a public defender. Had the interest of lining his own pockets rather than the best interest of his clients.

Posted by David | September 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney

Great Lawyer

Mr Zisa has represented myself and a few family members. We where all satisfied with the great service he provided us. His staff is also great. I really recommend him.

Posted by Andy | August 10, 2021 | Real Estate

Caring and Insightful

I spoke to Mr Zisa yesterday about a real connundrum where I have a family member who refuses to leave a home owned by my Alzheimer's stricken mother. The funds from the house are sorely needed for her care, but the family member is frustrating efforts to sell the property and refuses to pay rent. ... Mr Zisa gave me more than an hour of his time for free, listened gave excellent ideas on the way forward and even called me back with further useful information. I really appreciated his concern and empathy, not to mention his knowledge of the relevant subject matter law. I will likely hire him as my counsel

Anyone needing a great lawyer contact

He helped me out with a case of refusal of serving a disabled veteran with a service dog.

Look no other way in Hackensack!

Mr. Zisa has represented me in two occasions and did an exceptional job in both cases. He was always easy to reach throughout the process and, when not available, he always returned my calls promptly. The staff of the firm is also very helpful and knowledgeable. Both of my cases seemed very difficul...t to win but Mr. Zisa took care of them as if he was assisting a friend or a relative. Regardless of the type of case, his vast experience, and great litigation skills, are a great advantage that will most likely result in the best outcome for his clients(as happened to me in both of my cases)!

  • 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.
