Mari R. Zimmermann

Following my divorce the child placement we originally had planned was not working out. My son was having a difficult time in school and showing signs of neglect. I reached out to Mari and after what I felt was my long and complex history, without skipping a beat said lets do this. My ex represented ...himself as pro-se (mainly because he didn't want to fork out the money for a lawyer) but this also gave us the opportunity to utilize mediation to the fullest potential - because lets be honest who wants to go to court and represent themselves with zero knowledge in law. So Mari took that opportunity and worked with myself making sure I was taken care of, but also informed my ex what things would look like pending on how things went. While any process with kids is difficult Mari made it a little less difficult. She would answer my emails in a timely manner, answer my random questions that would come up along the way, and prepared me for every step of the way. She educated about all the laws, rules, and regulations that were out there and while overwhelming at times, it was important to know and I appreciated her taking the time to explain those to me. Her support staff was also wonderful. So overall, if you are looking for someone who will listen to your story, prepare you, be honest with you, and truly work with you for the best possible outcome, Mari's it.

Mari Zimmermann and law team are very professional and know their stuff! Mari prepared us for what to expect in our custody battle and was always two steps ahead of the other party involved. She listened to our wants and needs in our case and was always very honest with us. Mari was available and res...ponsive to all of our questions. We won our case with Mari when other lawyers we consultanted said it would be a long shot. Very happy with Mari and the outcome of our case.

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.
