Review Paul Zeniewicz

Paul and staff saved the day!

Posted by

After going back and forth with my homeowners insurance company for about a year, I was referred to Mr. Zeniewicz. The referral came from three separate attorneys not associated with PZ Law Firm. They knew Paul's reputation of diligently pursuing his clients interests and continuously moving forward against sometimes very difficult circumstances. I could not have received better treatment from anyone. Paul and staff were always available for my concerns and questions. The outcome in my case took a little time to resolve, but was favorable in the end. Thanks Paul, Ashley and staff for coming to my rescue and saving the day!

Someone to trust

Posted by

Paul and his staff were amazing from day one. Under the stress of losing my home from Hurricane Michael and receiving the biggest joke of a settlement from my insurance company, Paul was able to right the wrong! Paul and Ashley are wonderful with communication. Whether it was calls, texts, or emails, they were always willing to take the time to explain each step of the process. I'm thoroughly pleased with the outcome of my case and will use/recommend this firm to any and all who need the help.
