Honest review!

Carol Zimmerly is hands down one of the most attentive and responsive attorneys I’ve worked with. She listens carefully, asks all the right questions, and doesn’t miss a single detail. Her calm, thorough approach made me feel protected and confident every step of the way. She’s sharp, professional, a...nd genuinely cares about her clients. Highly recommend!

Easily Resolved Tenant Eviction

Had a major alcoholic tenant who refused to leave and stopped paying for almost everything. Carol was amazing with the advice she provided and how to navigate this difficult situation. Was nervous about having to go through an eviction process. Carol made it seem seamless and her pricing was great. W...ould contact her again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Attorney

Carol very responsive and a great professional, I've come to her seeking legal advice a couple times now. She's responded in a very quick manner giving me the advice I've need at the time, when she really didn't have to. If I were to hire someone for an eviction or similar matter, I would not hesit...ate to hire Carol for it.

My good hearted deed turned very bad!

I contacted Carol today regarding an unpaying, ungrateful friend of 40 years. Within an hour of our conversation, Carol had the paperwork drawn up to be served to this dead beat tenant. Carol is very professional and personable as well. She was only a phone call away anytime I needed her. I highly r...ecommend her services to anyone in dire straits like I was for immediate action and results, Thanks Carol!
