Personable and All Business

I hired this attorney to help get a my license back. After researching many lawyers I shortened the list down to three. After speaking with all three, I chose Zaremba. He just seemed to be the most personable, understanding, and empathetic, yet wanting to also stick to business to get done what we... need to get done. He is always available to answer questions, even those that you have already asked but asked again. He prepares and walks you through everything that you need in your situation. I am glad that I chose him to help me through the mistakes I have made.

Got the job done!

After two unsuccessful tries on my own, I hired Jack to get my driving privileges reinstated. He was successful and I now have my license.

Client

I hired attorney Jack Zaremba for getting 2 tickets while operating a truck. Although I was located in a different state, Mr. Zaremba was professional and took care of my case quickly and efficiently.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
