Beware
Zipin was recently disciplined by the DC bar counsel for incompetence, conflict of interest and overcharging while representing a 91 year-old blind, bedridden widow.

Great and superb lawyer
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...

Great Results
Hired another attorney to settle my discrimination case, who turned out to be unprofessional, rude with no follow through, the prior attorney was a waste of time and money. Phil took my case, ran with it and I got my settlement. Phil is diligent, professional, a good listener and kind.

When you are in the battle of your life... need a true soldier
I found Mr. Zipin to be thoughtful, knowledgeable, and professional in dealing with a mammoth employment discrimination issue. He is a member of the Women's Law Network. I appreciated his strategy and his empathy. Also, he did not run up some bill by over talking on the phone-- just to the point. He ...

Excellent Experience
Though I was going through a difficult situation, Phil helped by making things very clear and organized. He is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. He was honest, transparent and gave me clear options. I was glad he was on my side.
Philip B Zipin's Lawyer Endorsements
"Phil is a tireless advocate for his clients representing the best our profession has to offer. He is a joy to work with and has enabled me to break through a stalemate in a volatile matter we are working on together. I endorse him without reservation."
"I have known Phil for over 10 years. He is absolutely the "go-to" attorney for wage claims in this area. Additionally, his demeanor and easy-going manner are loved by his clients. I highly recommend him."
"Phil Zipin is committed to workplace justice. For over twenty years he has fought to recover wages and overtime in state and federal courts throughout the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland. Phil has litigated many, many cases, and settled many more, recovering not only his clients' wages, but their dignity, too. Phil and I worked together on two wage and overtime cases in federal court, and I saw his excellent judgment and great warmth. He was offended by the abuse of these employees by the employer who intentionally withheld wages and overtime, preying on the employees' vulnerable situation. You can do no better than retaining Phil Zipin for your employment issue."
