A True Legend

I had an OVI incident late last year that significant consequences, personally and professionally. There were a number of mitigating factors that set the chain of events in motion, but ultimately, I was wrong. After the incident, I set about searching for an attorney who could represent me in my cas...e. In my search, someone highly recommended Larry. Larry answered the call and met me at his home on a Sunday to take my case. He listened very carefully and was extremely thorough, making sure that no detail was forgotten or omitted. Over the course of the following months, Larry stood by my side and offered the best of advice at every stage of the process. He tried every possible way to reduce the charges and he was VERY successful. To say that he is an adept advocate is a huge understatement. It was because of him that the charge was significantly reduced to what would be considered by many to be a slap on the wrist. Even the judge noted that it was a VERY good outcome. In many respects, Larry has saved me from personal and professional disaster, and for that, I am extremely happy to have put my case in his hands. When you hire Larry, you're not only paying for his time. You're paying for his depth of knowledge, specialization, care, prestige, and influence. You're also paying for someone who has a great deal of good will within the courts, which is immensely helpful when dealing with a case like mine, which by all logic, should have ended extremely unfavorably. And that's why Larry is a legend.

Zukerman saved my life!!!

In one of the hardest times in my life I’ve ever felt with Larry Zukerman was there for me. I was facing some serious Felony charges, and Larry was there to help me since the first day I went to meet with him. This was my first time dealing with such a serious crime, I didn’t know what to do, how to ...feel, how to think, & Larry being the great coach of law helped me & guided me through it all. Over the months of dealing with the case my mind would be racing, and Larry would have talks with me that would put my mind in a better place. I was looking at serious mandatory time & I can say the deal Larry worked out for me was amazing, so amazing that after i heard that all I could do was give Larry a hug and tell him how thankful I was. Anytime I needed to talk with Larry when I would be stressing me out, I was able to either call or meet at his office on the spot of a dime. I understood Larry is a very busy man but he always found the time to consult me when I needed it, and he would talk with me and get my mind in a better place. Not only did I meet a great lawyer, but I meet a great friend. He understands me as a person, he really cared for me, and that’s what is needed when you are dealing with hard times & major crimes. Larry took his time & was very honest with me from day 1. Any question I had, he delivered a honest answer. If there was something I didn’t know he would break it down until I understood what was going on. I’ve learned plenty of lawful things just from listen to Larry. He is a very great attorney and individual. His entire firm is well organized and polite people from the attorney’s to the secretaries. Larry will fight for you from day 1 to the Very last second and I guarantee that he will get you the best outcome there is, Trust me!! This guy means serious business & he does not mess around. His work is done from the heart, and he is willing to work with your financial situations. I can say his hard work, dedications, and efforts is worth every penny in the world. I will honestly say I will recommend Larry to anybody. Thanks Larry!! You’re Terriffic!!!

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
