Sarah J Zimmerman

I worked with Sarah for over a year in the context of a divorce mediation, involving children. While not sure what to expect when we entered the process, it was something of a last ditch effort before resorting to litigation. Sarah could not have been more patient, impartial, dedicated, or understand...ing when it came to the special factors influencing our case. She really took the time to get to know all parties, and to understand the issues--both technical and otherwise--that were presenting challenges in reaching an agreement. She was very knowledgeable and forthcoming in terms of technical input, as well as helpful in terms of maintaining a focus on the important family issues that are sometimes lost in these processes. Her patient but persistent guidance was crucial in securing a successful and respectful outcome. I could not recommend her services more enthusiastically. We owe her a great deal.

Sarah Zimmerman provided superb representation as my divorce attorney, ultimately crafting an air-tight, jerk-proof final agreement that will protect me and my children for years to come. She did it with such multi-faceted skill that her legal expertise alone is enough to hire her. But she also provi...ded much-needed insight and sensitivity to totally support me and my confidence throughout a painful and painstaking process. I cannot recommend her more highly.

In my opinion, Sarah Zimmerman is the best divorce lawyer in DC. When I first came to Sarah, I was in desperate need of immediate assistance because my attorney had quit on me and several court responses were due. Not only did I come to her under exigent circumstances, but I brought a divorce that ...presented extraordinary challenges because it was not limited to U.S. law and marital assets. Sarah was incredible. She picked up my case, and in spite of the short time frame, devised clever, winning strategies that worked at both the trial and appeals level in the MD courts. She adroitly anticipated opposing counsel’s moves and prepared motions ahead of time so that they could immediately be filed in court. Just as important, the U.S. court decisions had to be enforceable in two other countries each having different divorce laws. To that end, Sarah worked closely with my European attorneys to ensure success in those legal systems as well. And, even though it was outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. courts, Sarah managed to secure 85% of a World Bank pension for me! Sarah was at all times professional, respectful, and courteous. She always performed with integrity and her work product was of the highest quality. I could not have asked for better representation and never hesitate to recommend her whenever an opportunity arises.

Sarah Zimmerman is extremely professional, knowledgeable, detail-oriented (she does not miss a thing!), compassionate and absolutely wonderful to work with. She is very calm and attentive, and diligently works to protect her client's interests. Throughout the process, communication was great. All ...questions were answered promptly. Every aspect of the case was explained and discussed, and her advice was always excellent. She was available whenever I needed her; she still is. She’s fair and honest, and she truly cares. She’s remarkable. I highly recommend her.
