Quality Attorney
Mr. Zimmerman displays a hard working persistence in achieving positive results for his client. Mr. Zimmerman has represented me for my compensation case in a work- related injury. He has diligently advocated for certain medical procedures that were initially denied by my employer's insurance company, and has succeeded in obtaining authorization for those procedures. He always keeps me apprised in the status of my case, is very accessible by text or e-mail for comments, questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Mr. Aaron Zimmerman as an attorney who demonstrates professional expertise in achieving results. I

workers' compensation settlement
Aaron settled a case for me in a very timely manner that 3 other attorneys could not after 3 years.

Solid Skills, Got the job done
Attorney Z handled my case from beginning to end. Since I directed many union members on workers comp matters in the past I didn't really feel I needed an attorney. Glad I used Aaron, he was thorough, skilled, kept me informed and obtained the best result.

Exceptional attention to detail.
Aaron Zimmerman listened closely to information related to the case and he asked many questions to ensure he was informed prior to accepting the case. He gathered documents from multiple sources and he complied the information to determine the appropriate course of approach. He presented the facts and argued the case with full knowledge of the supporting facts. Aaron Zimmerman carefully reviewed each decision and filed appeals as necessary to ensure the case was handled fairly. Upon conclusion of the Workman's Compensation portion he weighed all information to continue to provide legal counsel as a mechanism for reaching the best possible outcomes for the case. I would highly recommend Aaron Zimmerman.

A True Professional
Mr. Zimmerman has been taking care of my many work injuries going back over 20 years. My problem is I didn't know how to slow down, kept going back to hard physical labor. Lucky for me Ive had Arron and his awesome staff in my corner the whole way. He fought through the many obstacles when I needed surgery, PT and meditations, especially when the other insurance company wanted to deny my Physician's request. I highly recommend Aaron Zimmerman for all your legal needs following a work or personal injury, He is a true professional in every since of the word.

Do NOT Go Anywhere Else
My Workman's Compensation injury dates back to 1994 - Aaron and his firm have worked with this case when needed, over the course of 25 years - Aaron always did a great job representing me and got a fair and proper result EVERY TIME we had to encounter the Workman's Compensation system - When my injury forced me into early retirement, it was because of them, I was better able to retire from a financial standpoint - I recommend Aaron and his firm highly, and would never consider using any other

Personable, Professional and Knowledgeable
My initial interview with Aaron Zimmerman was informative and I was made to feel at ease with the process. Mr. Zimmerman was always readily available and kept me up to date and well informed every step of the way. Mr. Zimmerman has worked on my behalf for several years and without any hesitation I would, and I have, highly recommended Aaron and his team of professionals to all my family and friends.

Excellent job Aaron!
I was in a terrible situation regarding an injury at work. There was all sorts of red tape, delays, and incredible amount of stress. The insurance co. made it as difficult as possible,of course. I can not express how much Aaron helped me. Immediately I felt more secure. Stressed dropped away, and he cut through all the red tape and the BS from the insurance company. Yeah he got me the maximum when it came to money, but more importantly, i didn't have to worry anymore. I could now focus on my health and getting better. That's priceless. Thank you sooooo much! I can't express that enough.

Great trial skills
This is the first time I ever hired a lawyer. I hurt myself at work and my supervisor lied about the accident. As a result the insurance company refused to pay my doctors bills. Mr. Zimmerman was my lawyer and he ripped my supervisor to pieces with his questioning. The judge ruled in my favor. Not only were my bills paid but Mr. Zimmerman even got me money for my losses. I highly recommend him as a lawyer. He was a straight shooter and after seeing him in action I know his is very skilled.

VERY SKILLED
This guy is the best. He doesn't sugar coat the truth. He told me the strengths and weaknesses of my case. I had a prior injury to the same shoulder and he told me this would be a problem, and it was. Still, he kept me informed every step of the way. Every time I sent an email, he responded within a few hours. Very impressive. He warned me he is in court almost every day, and is not in the office to take calls. Email worked great. Eventually I settled. I think he got me a very fair deal. He was professional and very respectful. I am very satisfied with the work Mr Zimmerman did for me.

Fought for me all the way
I drive a straight truck and have to load and unload product at every stop. Throwing cases of soda and water all day is hard work. One day I threw my back out. The insurance company said I was an independent contractor and refused to pay for my doctors visit or the time I lost from work. A friend told me about Aaron. He has a very busy office and is in court almost every day. He told me upfront not to expect to reach him by phone. I used emails to reach him and he gets right back to me. When I do call his office, his secretary pulls up my file on the computer as we talk,. A few times she could not answer my question, she promised an attorney would get back to me. And by the very next day one of the attorneys did. I had a trial in court. Aaron clearly knew what he was doing and the other side never even objected to any questions he asked me. 2 witnesses for the truck's owner. After the testimony, Aaron sent in a legal position paper on my behalf. The judge agreed I was an employee and ordered my boss to pay the bills and my lost wages. I can not say enough good things about Aaron. He took my case seriously. I have used attorneys before, and he is the best yet.

Torn Rotator Cuff
I had a straight forward case. I was involved in a car wreck, A truck pulled out from a parking lot in front of me. the insurance company said it was my fault, when it was the trucks fault. Aaron represented me and did a very good job. He always kept me informed by sending me emailed copies of everything. I loved his staff. After a few weeks they knew my voice on the phone and they knew what was happening with my case, so I did not have to repeat my history. Aaron knows his business, and the insurance finally settled. I am really happy with my settlement and the way Aaron handled my case.

No hassle and up front lawyer!
I have been using Mr. Zimmerman for over a year and a half now, with no complaints. He has answered any and all of my questions in a timely fashion and in a language I can understand. I feel he has represented me well, and will continue using his services as my claim is still ongoing.

Great Guy!!! Great Results!!!
I strongly recommend Mr. Zimmerman. His is a wonderful person and it was a pleasure to deal with him. I went in to see my lawyer for a comp case. Once he heard the facts, Mr Zimmerman not only sued my comp case, he also started a personal injury case. The same insurance company was responsible for both claims and they were impossible to deal with. Mr. Zimmerman fought for me every step of the way. Eventually, the insurance company settled. I believe that without Mr. Zimmerman's help, I would still battling with the insurance company. He really knows his business and kept me informed every step of the way using emails. I was very happy with the service provided by Mr. Zimmerman.

Our GO TO law firm
I have been a shop steward and business manager of my union for more than 20 years. The Zimmerman Law Office is our GO TO law firm for on the job injuries. These lawyers have handled literally hundreds of our union members. His office has a practice of sending each client a copy of everything. My guys are always talking about how he keeps them in formed about what is happening with their case. The insurance knows he is not afraid of going to trial, and as a result he wins good settlements. I strongly recommend his firm for workers compensation, social security disability and construction accidents.

He's a winner
This is the first time I have ever written a review, but I want everyone to know this guy is a winner. Mr. Zimmerman was referred to me by a co-worker. I have worked as a roofer for many years. Due to the boss wanting me to hurry up, I tried to carry 2 bundles of shingle up a ladder and threw out my back. The insurance people tried every trick in the book to beat me out of medical treatment and my wages. Mr. Zimmerman fought back every step of the way. It is clear he doesn't put up with nonsense. So far, so good. I am still receiving injections into my back. hopefully we will not need surgery. I have been paid right up to today, and he even got a penalty against the insurance idiots because they paid some of my wages late.

His office returns my calls.
I was a frame carpenter and fell when a incomplete staircase collapsed. I broke my leg and foot. He sued my employer and the building owner. I was able to collect money from social security disabiltiy, my employer and the building owner. My case took almost 5 years to resolve, but when ever I called someone from his office would always get right back to me. He also sent me emailed copies everything as the case progressed.

When you need the best !!!
This guy is the best. I've had other lawyers in the past, no more. Zimmerman is the man. He was always on top of my case and sent me copies of everything. We settled and got me some real money. He takes no BS and knows what he is doing.
