I have worked with Brian on numerous issues over the years. Brian helped me setup my LLC documents, represented me successfully in a small claims suit and has dealt with a contractor who failed to complete work that was already paid for.
Brian R. Zimmerman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Creative. Resourceful. Cost-effective. Brian Zimmerman is an excellent and meticulous lawyer. His degree in civil engineering and experience handling an extensive number of complex construction and real estate matters sets his work apart from other lawyers. He finds pragmatic solutions to difficult issues -- often without formal dispute resolution, but can handle both litigation and arbitration of claims when needed. He also provides transactional commercial and residential real estate acquisition, like-kind exchanges and title work services. I recommend him without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Zimmerman is an effective litigator and highly skilled negotiator. He can, with equal facility, try a case to its final verdict, or quarterback a complex transaction to its final signature. He is not just a lawyer, he is a strategic advisor with a practical, business-oriented approach to client matters."
"I fully endorse Brian Zimmerman. I have had the opportunity to work with Brian for a number of years on a wide variety of matters. In every instance, I have known him to exhibit the highest level of integrity, while acting as a zealous, efficient and tireless advocate for his clients."
