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.

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."
