Paul S. Zimmerman

There are defining moments in life where you can make a difference that truly shape the course and future of a child's life. Paul Zimmerman changed the course of my child's life with his knowledge, expertise, commitment and heart. Our case, a custody relocation case, was extremely complex, lengthy ...and without question critical to my child's wholeness and future. Navigating an overburdened county legal system, comprehending, recalling and directing immense data and details in both scale and degree while managing me as client with my fears and worries about an uncertain future if unsuccessful was not a task for the faint of heart. Mr. Zimmerman's expertise to present questioning, direct testimony and never failing commitment to detail that "might be just the piece of information to convey the truth of the story" is a true gift. Family legal battles are usually the result of a breakdown in the family unit and always result in loss and pain. Mr. Zimmerman approached our case exactly as you would want a hero to approach anything, with a calm presence of confidence, the work ethic of an Olympian and the heart of a father that sees children in need as deserving of a hero. His knowledge of the law and how the law can be leveraged to fairly and brilliantly fight for the real victims (children) is profound. Parents who care about their children and their future can depend on Paul Zimmerman to be the best of the best.

I worked with Paul S. Zimmerman on a custody/family law issue. He was supportive, knowledgeable, and very efficient at every turn, bringing the case to resolution quickly and painlessly. I found the rate to be very reasonable, especially for the amount of personal attention I received. He took the t...ime to answer every question, no matter how trivial, and made me feel like my case was important to him. I would recommend working with Paul and this law firm for your legal needs.

I used Paul Zimmerman for my child custody case and he took over $4000 grand from me and did NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! Then because he required ANOTHER $4000 grand and I could not pay it up front he dropped my case. He appeared in court ONE time on my behalf all for of about 45 minutes. That is what cost me ...so much money?? Then when I would try to contact him he would never return my calls. And says I never contacted him. Because of him I lost my son because I had no lawyer at my custody case because all he cares about is THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once I finally came in contact with him again he refused to represent me and when I asked for my files I got nothing but an attitude about it, like it was a waste of his time. I do not recommend this guy if you want your child!!!! If it wasn't for him I would have my child and none of this nightmare I am going through would have happened! DO NOT HIRE HIM!!!!!!!! Not if you want your children anyway.

Paul Zimmerman is the worst. He said the $1200 retainer would take my girlfriend through to the start of a custody trial and then he gave us a bill for an additional $1200 (for a total of $2400) and said he wanted that and an additional $3500 up front before the trial began which would be fine EXCEPT... he didn't do his job. He never listened to a word we said, constantly gave the courts wrong information and charged for everything he did (even tasks he repeated because he either made errors). He would call my phone and leave a message and then immediately call my girlfriend's phone and leave a message and charge $75 for EACH message! How about you stop leaving two messages within a minute of each other? Idiot. He was also responsible for typing up a letter for witnesses to sign and got every single detail wrong, NEVER actually mailed them out and then charged $150 each for mailing them. How can you charge for something you didn't do? I've never met a more incompetent lawyer in my entire life. I can't speak on the other lawyers but avoid Paul Zimmerman at all costs.

I hired and began working with mr Zimmerman about a year and a half ago. Everyday i am ver amazed by the amounts of time and effort he has putt into my case, he has dedicated alot of personal time even working and preparing at odd hours late in the vening and even on the weekends, including sundays. ...just the prperation and communicatioon proccess alone sets him apart from any other lawyler i have ever considerd. Mr zimmerman is ver comunicative, and over looks no detail, every and everything, you go over with and have a full conversation and get into detail, this leaves nothing missed aswell as helps give myself, the client a full understanding of everything and lets fae it... there is alot that us everyday people who arent lawyers know about the law and procedures, and mr zimmerman does an extrodinary job of helping you understand. I remeber just recently, i went in for a meeting with mr zimmerman, just to get a few simple answears to some questions. unlike most lawyers who will charge 200. just to answear them, mr. zimmerman actually gets into full detail and preperation mode on everything i ask, he is always taking notes and always rember and refers to them. I feel the whole entire firm at MMZ does an amazing job and treats all their clients with an extrordinary leval caring and professionalism. I have never been treated and felt this way about any lawyer or firm ever! The secretarys and legal aids, actually take time and get to know you and be friendly with you aswell as give you advise and understanding of the hard times that come with your case. I have personally seen and expirenced other partners in the firm, take action and involvment and interest in my case. When i hired Mr zimmerman, i felt as if i got the whole firm with him, and im shortly coming up on 2 years in being involved with MMZ and still feel strongly about everyone there. When it comes to billing and pricing. Mr zimmerman prices are extremly fair, and when considered with the extra efforts he putts in, i really feel i got my moneys worth. I would highly reccomend mr zimmerman and his entire firm to anyone. I have gained so much with my case including way more time with my child, way more knowledge then ever when coming to custody law and i feel i got more then a lawyer, i got a very good person who has inpacted my life in more then just legal ways, and i feel confident in saying that any person that hires mr zimmerman would get all that i got from him and more
