Avoid this lawyer

I regret paying any money to Steve Zimath. After paying him in full at the start of my case, Steve Zimath never replied to any of my emails, nor did he ever return any of my phone calls. Often he was "out of town" or "in New York". After I paid Steve Zimath to represent me he moved his office from ...a downtown Sarasota Main Street corporate bank building location to a cubicle in a strip mall bail bondsman office behind a drive-thru fast food hamburger restaurant, but he never notified me, and this resulted in the loss of my personal medical and legal documents. When I put personal medical and legal documents in the mail slot of his old office door, as he instructed, Steve Zimath moved to a new office location and lost my papers. Steve Zimath left his name plate attached to his old office door after he moved to a new location and never notified me, so my personal medical and legal documents were lost forever, and ended up in the hands of some unknown third party. Steve Zimath never notified me of the address of his new office location, and he gave me a business card with his old office address. Steve Zimath never gave me any documents related to my case until three days before the trial date. When I showed my painful facial mouth injuries to Steve Zimath he laughed at me saying I was "making a funny face" at him, yet he never made any effort to help me obtain medical care like he promised upon my hiring of him. There are many other problems I had with Steve Zimath including conflicts of interest regarding his personal friendships with people that I had legal entanglements with , even after he told me he did not know any of these people I found photographs of him on the internet participating in leisure activities with same people. I wish I had paid double the money to a different lawyer rather than hiring Steve Zimath to represent me.
