Great Lawyer

Josh and Bobby are tremendous lawyers who put their clients needs over their own. They were always available, responsive and kept me informed along every step of my case. As a team they truly cared about my case. They personified the ideal representation when I needed a law team to care about my c...ase and reach a successful verdict.

Hit and run car accident taken care of the right way!

I was unfortunately involved in accident where i sustained some nasty bumps and bruising as well a some suffering associated with the crash. You always here call this person call that person when you get into an accident and they will help you blah blah blah blah. Well this law firm will really help ...you! I was recommend to their office by a friend but i went in with some hesitation as i was scared to be taken advantage of like so many horror stories heard. My first meeting with Josh, a senior partner in Bobby Zirkins office, was very pleasant. He was asking a fair amount of questions to try and understand all aspects of my case and listening to what i had to say about my injuries and most importantly my concerns. We ended the meeting with a business card and said If i had any further questions or when i was ready to make a decision i would know how to find him. I than proceeded to interview with another firm and i was shocked and how different the intake process was. I met with an attorney who didn't seem to be interested in what i had to say. He just kept babbling on how he was going to be able to get me the most money the fastest. He didnt care what was going on with me just wanted me to sign. Needless to say, i knew who i was going to choose to represent me against the person that hit and ran and left me for dead. I received my settlement in a timely fashion and at every point in the process when i needed assistance i was greeted with a staff that was eager to help. I dont wish anyone to have to be in the position that i was, but if they are and need someone to represent them not just in court but leading up to it, choose the Law firm of Zirkin and Schmerling.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
