A lawyer you can trust

Larry Zukerman is a lawyer you not only can trust, but you should trust. He puts the needs of his clients first and makes them feel safe and respected. Everyone has rights and this lawyer assures that your rights are not violated. I have hired Mr. Zukerman with the notion that he would take care of ...me to the fullest. He not only went so far as to save my life, but also answered all of my wife’s questions and those who cared about me, their concerns and questions as well. Larry is not the run of the mill lawyer who sits there and beats around the bush just to make more money. He gets straight to the point and figures out a way to help the client. Big or small figures in town (and out of town) he will work with you. I have seen lawyers who will make you “break the bank” to help you. Larry is not that person. Lastly, his staff, from receptionist all the way to the top makes sure you are in a comfortable setting that way whatever you are feeling, you know someone has your back. I trust Larry with my life and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is the real deal. He WILL help you and take care of you! Please call him, I promise you, you will not regret it.

Excellent Attorney, Top Notch Service

I had two cases. One in Cleveland and one in Berea. Mr. Zukerman had the charges dropped without a fine after working his magic in one case. The other case was multiple traffic tickets that was worked out to only one minor ticket with a small fi ne. I would recommend him to anyone with a problem ...in the Cleveland area. He has years of experience and does not give up. I can only say positive things about him and all who work with him. True professionals and worth every dime. Thanks Larry

Zuckerman saved my life

I was facing life in prison for a crime I did not commit and the agony from this experience has changed me as a person. There was one person that stood next to me during all of that time when no one else would. After I had bonded out of jail I immediately called Larry, who agreed to meet me on a ...Sunday at his office given the severity of my case. Thanks to his hard work of proving my innocence the case was thrown out at the arraignment hearing. But it didn't end there Larry and I believed I was framed for this viscous crime and we were hellbent on proving that. Where most defense attorneys would stop Larry started digging deep. We had private detectives start to go to work immediately following the courts dismissal. Zuckerman went from being a defense lawyer to acting like a prosecutor going after people he knew exploited the justice system by falsely convicting someone of a crime. A year later we received justice when the culprits were indicted on felony charges related to framing me for felony crimes. We flipped the script and justice was further served after we sued civilly and was awarded 1.7 million in damages. It sounds like something out of movie or some court inspired TV show, but then again the case and the work of Larry Zuckerman is being talked about for a potential documentary for Netflix going deep into my experience and the long road Larry and I took together to clear my innocence. Larry doesn't lack the courage of his own convictions and he's not your typical defense lawyer in my opinion. He's much more than that, because he saved my life from dying in prison for a crime I never committed.

Best of the best!

Larry was very helpful he exceeded my expectations and was successful in our suppression hearing and all my charges were dismissed I could not be any happier. His staff also was very attentive and quick to respond which was very important to me. I cannot recommend Larry enough I would never go anywhe...re else.

Larry does excellent work and I would definitely recommend him

When I needed help I went to the number one producer in my company and asked him who he uses and he gave me Larry's card. He said that he has used him for years. Well that was a few years ago. Larry has personally represented me with great success. I have called him more than once and will use on...ly him in the future. What can I say. He and his firm under promise and over deliver every time. Actual costs are exactly as estimated. Consultations were very relaxed and transparent. He is a true professional meaning he seeks understanding you first. That is rare in the air of this much knowledge and experience. There are a lot of men and women out there LIKE Larry Zukerman but he is the real deal. I don't write reviews but people need to know. I hope this helps you like my co-worker did for me.
