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)!

Joseph Zisa is a "CAN DO," Honest and Compassionate Attorney

We live in California and our mother (age 90) lived in New Jersey. We were visiting our mom and discovered that she did not have a current Medical Directive or Living Trust. Attorney Zisa was so accommodating. He came out to our car to meet our mom, explained why these documents were so important an...d quickly gained her trust. We were leaving to go back to California in a few days, and Attorney Zisa made sure that we had a current Living Will and other documents before we left. We lost Mom a couple months ago. Her health care desires and the inheritance process went smoothly and quickly! Thank you for all you did for us at such a fair price. Sincerely, Glenn and Dona

Next on the Bench

I am a client who has known Mr. Zisa for many years—not only as an attorney, but a friend. Joseph follows in the footsteps of his late Father, Hon. Joseph Zisa Sr., with the instilled and highly personal commitment of dedication and priority first and always to the Law; and application of the highest... standard of service for his clients and his community. Joseph's knowledge and guidance provides the best preparation of applicable law for a client's case so every resource for a just and satisfactory resolution is provided. I have witnessed as he has dedicated his entire professional life and energy to serve his clients and the Law. The State of New Jersey will be proudly served if he is appointed to the Bench.

My Lawyer...the Best!

Joseph C. Zisa literally 'came to my rescue' with the sale of my house that was being horribly delayed due to the removal of an oil tank (and its remediation) that was insured up to ONE MILLION DOLLARS. The original lawyer just accepted the slow pace in closing due to several circumstances which Jos...eph very quickly reviewed, facilitated getting all the 'right parties' involved on behalf of the buyer, remediation personnel, insurance members and myself...to closed within 6 weeks from my first contact with him. You can't beat that. All involved were fine with this swift action headed by Joseph...buyer and seller in particular... which is all that the bottom line counts. He is the best! Use him!!!

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.
