Review Michael Zerres

Birth Injury case

Posted by

Michael Zerres was extremely knowledgable in birth injuries specifically Erbs Palsy which was our case. We had full trust in his abilities. He is very thorough and patient and listens to all concerns and helps in anyway he can. We were very fortunate to have him as our lawyer.
