Prompt Response

I asked a simple question and Mark not only answered my question effectively but also e mailed another attorney in my area who reached out to me without me ever calling them. I though that this was fantastic that he would do thid for me.

Excellent Trial and Appellate Attorney

Not only has Attorney Zientz been a very competent adversary, he has also handled several workers' compensation appellate cases in the State of Florida, which have shaped the workers' compensation practice for the entire Bar. Attorney Zientz is intelligent, forthright and an excellent advocate for h...is clients.

GREAT ATTORNEY!!

Attorney Zientz began working on a workers' comp/personal injury case regarding my husband's death in Tallahassee,FL. He was very responsive in gathering the proper documentation to forward to the proper legal firms to handle the case. He followed through with workers' comp in NC (state of residenc...e), working closely with a NC attorney, so that I was able to pursue the lawsuit in Tallahassee.

There aren't enough words to praise Mr Zientz. He is pro-women, pro employee and more. Mr Zientz is a leader in his field and trying to reformed workman's compensation laws in Florida on behalf of laborers/ workers to bring justice and protection for those who get hurt in their jobs. He is very ethic...al and exudes confidence from the moment he shakes hands with you. I admire and respect him and consider myself very fortunate to have him as my attorney.

Client Review

Mark has been a very knowledgeable lawyer for me and my husband. It is difficult for him to do my case because I live in Montana and my W/C case is in Florida. When I learned how to email him, it has been easier to communicate with him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. When I needed a lawyer to handle an appeal for a Workers' Compensation claim, Mark was mentioned by several lawyers as a top choice. Mark teamed with Barbara Wagner to handle the appeal of Robert J. Bend, Jr. v. Zenith and Shamrock services after Robert was denied benefits by the Judge of Compensation Claims. Due Mark's efforts, the case was overturned on appeal and Robert was able to obtain benefits. This appeal had several issues that could have negatively changed the workers compensation system in Florida. Mark was essential in preventing this from happening."
