Mari R. Zimmermann

When I first met Mari, this was the phrase she used and it stuck with me ... "The path of least resistance". Not a phrase you might hear from a lawyer, especially when hiring a lawyer is all about bettering your odds to "win". But let's face it, divorce, and court in general, is unhealthy and unnatu...ral. Anything you can do to make it less painful is appreciated! While I could tell right away Mari would fight for me like a dog on a bone and certainly had the knowledge and the wherewithal to do so, she also understood that my ex-husband and I had thus far never hired a lawyer for our disputes, not even for the initial divorce. Everything was done amicably on our own. However at this 7- year mark we have reached an impasse on certain subjects and I needed to get professional help. Mari came highly recommended from a trusted friend. She instantly made me feel like she was my biggest fan and my advocate. After she looked over my paperwork we had a brief discussion and then she basically did what I call "read my mail". That means she has the ability to read a lot into the situation very intellectually but very precisely without even knowing all the details. She was spot-on! She wrote things down for me, helped me with the wording for documents I needed to write, communicated with me a few times in person and many times over email. Within a few weeks we developed a plan, and executed it and in the long run my ex-husband had to give up alot... but I think he actually felt empowered that he was part of the decision because all of the decisions made sense! Mari is wicked smart when it comes to the law... but she's also "street smart", compassionate, determined, and honest. I would encourage anyone who is on the fence about hiring a lawyer to meet with Mari Zimmermann. It will bring all the insight and direction you are looking for!

I've been very impressed with Mari's commitment to her clients as well as her ability to see the big picture. She is invested in doing the right thing and gives credibility to her profession. Many divorce attorneys give their field a bad name. She is a credit to an area of law that is known to be v...ery contentious. Above all, Mari is a good person.

Mari Zimmermann was recommended to me several years ago. I found her to be a huge relief amidst a very trying time. She skillfully mixed her extreme intelligence with a sympathetic heart. She responded in a timely fashion, she listened and answered questions clearly, and she took the weight from ...my shoulders onto her own. I will always be grateful for this. She is someone I highly recommend.
