Philip B Zipin

Phil took my unlawful termination case when a few other lawyers had declined, since they were afraid of the defendant and their army of lawyers. Not only did Phil exhibit great patience and prepare us for a long slog, he was also easy to work with and, in the final analysis, was able to get us to a m...ediated settlement that was completely satisfactory for me and vindicated my deep complaints. I would gladly work with him again - although sincerely hope I never have to!

Mr. Zipin is always easy, pleasant and of course one of the best lawyers. I was given very professional advice during our consultation which helped me a lot. You know what to expect from your lawyer, and Mr. Zipin does not let you down. After the court ruled in my favor in March, defendants wanted to... settle the case. Mr. Zipin proved to be a talented trial lawyer as well as a skilled negotiator. Being “locked and loaded” for a long litigation battle, he tried to secure an excellent settlement. I can 100% recommend Mr. Zipin if you need help with employment law in the DC metropolitan area.

Yesterday, I received the settlement check that Phil Zipin helped me obtain from my former employer. It was twice as high as I was hoping to obtain when I went in to discuss the matter with Mr. Zipin. Not only was Phil able to give me excellent advice and to negotiate a favorable settlement, but I ...found him to be immediately likable and trustworthy. He has earned my highest recommendation.

Phil represented me as the plaintiff in a wrongful termination case where I sued a multi-millionaire former boss who lacked civility and integrity. A senior partner from a multinational law firm (with 4,200 lawyers) was chief defense counsel for my former boss. The firm is the largest law firm in th...e world -- measured by revenue and number of lawyers. Also, the firm was ranked 5th in the world by the "Sharplegal Global Elite Brand Index." Needless to say, I needed a thoroughbred lawyer -- in every sense of the word -- to represent me. What I got was that -- and more. We went to court four times during the discovery phase -- each time with the defendant's counsel seeking case dismissal or summary judgment in favor of her client. Each time, we prevailed. Ultimately, I was scheduled for 4 days of deposition. With Phil at my side, the defense chose to end my deposition after just 2 days -- requesting we enter into discussions to settle my case. After more than 4 weeks of Phil negotiating on my behalf, we settled our case for precisely what I had sought from my former boss prior to deciding to sue him, plus an appropriate amount to pay for Phil's services and expenses. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my former boss was a four-time convicted felon. He was arrested almost a year later, convicted of two additional felonies and sentenced to 3 years in federal prison. I subsequently learned that although he lost multiple times in criminal court, he had never lost or settled more than a dozen wrongful termination lawsuits brought against him over the previous 10 years. Phil Zipin is a tremendous lawyer. He brought intellectual prowess, powerful courtroom presence and a keen understanding of every aspect of my case. If I ever need the services of a premier employment law attorney in the future, Phil is the ONLY person I would engage to represent me or any member of my family. He's that good!
