Best Family Law Attorney in Clay County!!

How does one sing the praises of an attorney like Zima? To say that she is amazing would be an understatement. Zima goes above and beyond and that’s the honest to God’s truth. It took three years to finalize my divorce, and she did everything in her power to make sure that my kids and I were taken ca...re of after years of battle and an injunction, we finally got it completed and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! If you need a family law attorney, she’s your Woman! Someone else said this and it is true “she’s a SHARK in the courtroom!” When you say you have ZIMA then people know you mean business and she’s got your back!

THE BEST! REBECCA ZIMA

To say Rebecca Zima is amazing, would be an understatement. A friend recommended Rebecca while I was facing the most difficult time of my life. The very first time I spoke to Rebecca, I knew she was exactly who I needed. Rebecca is HONEST, BRILLIANT, CARING, THOROUGH, and INCREDIBLE in the courtroom!... She is truly a Godsend! Rebecca went above and beyond for my family. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done, and for the WIN! I respect her, trust her and will recommend her to EVERYONE! If you need someone who will fight for you, SHE IS THE ONE!!!!

The BEST divorce attorney in Clay County!

How do I begin to sing Rebecca praises? If you want the BEST divorce attorney in Clay County she’s the one. Rebecca is thorough, she listens, she’s extremely intelligent, and she’s ready for anything. Divorces are difficult so make sure you hire an experienced and dedicated attorney!

She is a total shark in the courtroom! Awesome!

I hired Mrs. Zima for an injunction case. She was very thorough and came to the courtroom prepared to present her reasoning's why my child and I needed protection from her father. As nervous as I was, Mrs. Zima reassured me that she would handle things and she sure as hell did. I'm a single mom and p...rotecting my children is the most important thing in my life. Mrs. Zima is a mother herself and shows compassion. Definitely money well spent.

Criminal Defense

I really wanted an agressive attorney to represent me in my DUI. Due to my refusal to give breath analysis and to submit to road test, I was hoping to get a reduced plea to reckless driving. I was hopeful upon meeting with her, she was knowledgeable and confident. I ended up pleaing to the DUI, b...ut Rebecca did negotiate great reduced terms and conditions. I was very happy with the end result. Now I am just dealing with the DMV which is always as pleasure.....

  • 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.
