Completely incompetent

She was opposing counsel for my ex. Her initial complaint was riddled with errors, including the fact that we owned land together, which a cursory search or phone call would have verified. The Order setting the hearing had the wrong hearing date and was never actually served to me. There was no due ...dilligence done by her or her firm. She showed up in court in a sheath dress, sandles and wearing her sunglasses as a "headband". She is the epitomy of unprofessionalism. No matter what they have to say about me, that doesn't negate the blatent mistakes and errors in the filed court documents. Debs and Davy should both be reprimanded for their unbelievable unprofessional and inadequate practice of the law.

5 star easy for her and her staff

I had the best experience with Debbie and her team. They achieved the best outcome for my family. I will forever be grateful for them. I highly recommend this wonderful team. Thank you again for making us whole.

Phenomenal Attorney!!!

I could not have chosen a better law office or attorney to represent myself and my family. Debbie Zimmerle was our super star on more than one occasion when. During a time that was very difficult for us we found comfort and security in speaking with her and knowing our side would be heard in court. S...he has a presence like no other in the court room and when she speaks her words are mannerly, powerful, and well thought out. She is smart and effective. You can't go wrong with her by your side. The staff is wonderful as well and they make you feel at home and always welcome. We will continue to lean on their services if ever needed and will highly recommend them to anyone we feel is in need of justice.

Best family attorney around

Debbie was amazing in court. She always looks out for the child's best interest and will fight to make sure it happens. I felt like she cared about my child and me. Money well spent.

"Debbie has been in my office for the past five years and she genuinely cares for her clients and the children she fights for in the courtroom. She sacrifices her own family time to work late for the family of her clients."

  • 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.
