Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Zimmerle and his staff were great to work with. They were very professional and helpful to me and my husband. Mr. Zimmerle provided timely updates in our case and gave us great advice. I would definitely choose him again with further business.

Great attorney, great staff

Howard and the all the staff at Warner and Zimmerle made a concerted effort to ease our family through a long and difficult legal process. Their professionalism and caring had a profound effect on how we made it through the a difficult and at times painful deposition with opposing council. They mad...e sure we understood the complexities of the task we were undertaking. They went out of their way to make sure our many questions were answered and our concerns were addressed along the way. We were very pleased with the outcome of the issue and very happy with the Howard’s efforts throughout.

Car Accident 6/2/16 to 3/2/18

Often when people need an attorney they are having the worst experience of their lives. Mr. Zimmerle was very knowledgeable of the laws in Illinois as well as several other states. Mr. Zimmerle and his staff kept us updated throughout the case. Mr. Zimmerle went for the maximum policy value allowed ...and did not have to file a lawsuit against them. I have several medical bills left over and Mr. Zimmerle is representing me to have those nullified. I would gladly recommend Mr. Zimmerle and use his services again.

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.
