Exactly the right person for my needs!

Prior to needing assistance on my case, I had never even thought about what I would do if I needed a lawyer. Luckily, a friend who is an attorney got a recommendation from from my city's Prosecutor of all people! In my opinion, when a prosecutor can recommend a defense attorney based on what they hav...e seen in court, that's a strong recommendation! I have not been disappointed in the least. Larry and his team treated my case (which easily could be blown off as "small stuff" by a less compassionate and thorough attorney) as if it was a big deal. Because for me it was a VERY big deal! They were clear in their plan and approach and executed that plan deftly and responsively, even in the midst of the courts being closed due to COVID-19. They wanted my case completely dismissed and that is exactly what they got for me. The results are better than I ever could have imagined or hoped, and should I ever find myself or anyone I know in need of legal services, I will not hesitate to recommend Zukerman, Lear, & Murray (ZLM)

Got the job done!

I was represented by Mr. Larry Zukerman for an OVI case. It was a very unfortunate incident that occurred on my birthday. Mr. Zukerman sat with me for the first meeting where he asked me all kinds of questions to find out exactly what happened and asked a lot of questions to get to know more about my...self as an individual. I was represented by both Mr. Michael Lear and Mr. Zukerman in court and both were always on time, every time. After some of the hardest months in my life, Mr. Zukerman was able to knock down the OVI to a reckless OP. As a future applicant to medical school this was very important to me. Being charged with an OVI has severe consequences that would have made my path to medical school much more difficult. After waiting the two years, Mr. Zukerman helped me successfully seal my records as well. BIG thanks to the law offices of Mr. Zukerman!!

Simply the Best

Larry is an incredible attorney. I was pleased with his professionalism. He knew what questions to ask me about my case. He knew to ask about details i hadnt even been considering. He knew the right was to setup our strategy. He was thorough and i appreciated that. He was on time for our court hearin...gs and was very articulate. most importantly we got the result I was looking for. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

The Best Experience

I was put in an unfortunate situation when I was in college. I was taken to court for obstructing a lawful meeting while standing up for the Jewish community on my college campus. Being friends with Larry's son, he immediately reached out to me to offer his services. He was a professional and aggr...essive. He did not stand for the charges against me, and made it clear the university their actions were unwarranted. After a few months of hard work and determination, the charges were ultimately dropped. In the years following, he helped me to seal my record. All this was done easily and smoothly, couldn't have asked for better representation. I highly recommend Larry to come to your defense as he will do exactly what is asked of him and more. He goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are treated with respect and get the outcome they deserve. Thanks again Larry!
