Hire this attorney, and you'll be happy you did!!! :)

Robert Zimmer is an amazing attorney and a pleasure to work with. Please read on as I am proof that he's who you need, and I'll explain what you stand to gain for your choice. For a start, he's helpful, compassionate, skilled, kind, and even funny. He is communicative so you never have to wonder w...hat's going on or where you might stand; he's a true believer in the "little guy" (and it shows in how you'll be represented!); he's incredibly intelligent and clever without being at all scandalous; and he will do his level best for you in seeking and securing the most positive outcome that is possible. How do I know all of this? I hired him, and it ended up costing me NOTHING due to him filing and winning a countersuit against a shady collection agency who sued me without even letting me know the suit was filed. BESIDES the zero cost, they cannot try again to get any money from me. I mean...wow. Winning back his fees and then REPAYING ME?? Surely not. Is that even…? How the...?!?! Because he's that good, that's how. It blew my mind one awful evening to find that my bank account had been frozen, and ALL of my money was gone. Poof!! Sorry bills and housing, no money for you! Apparently, the shady agency had won a judgment against me without my knowledge of it having even taken place. Robert was able to get the money returned to my account on top of the zero cost and halted repayment attempt. I’m STILL in shock at such amazing results. When I saw that insane negative balance in my bank account I was terrified beyond words about the entire situation and without a clue as to my options. Once I got to the bottom of what was going on by calling my bank, I looked online for exactly the kind of attorney that I found in Robert. I luckily stumbled upon a very helpful review, and I hope this review will help your decision as well. Calling him is the best thing you could do if you find yourself in anything that even slightly resembles my situation. After I did, well past business hours on that horrible evening, he shockingly called me back around 9 pm (almost immediately after I had left him a message). I couldn't even imagine hearing back so quickly and had resigned myself to pure panic for at least the next 12-24 hours. But that horror show didn’t happen. He calmed me down immediately by helping me understand that my situation was not uncommon (he has worked – and won – hundreds of cases like mine) and then explained our game plan. I knew that I had found the guy I so desperately needed. Do yourself a HUGE favor and call Robert Zimmer as you have found the help you need. I am so lucky I found that review that prompted me to call him. THANK YOU, ROBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am excited to review this attorney! Well spent $39!

Mr Zimmer provided me a service that one should expect from the legal field but is challenging to find. I am grateful that Mr. Zimmer was able to take brief details of my case, provide a thorough understanding, project real options and possible solutions, and build a framework of execution to the ...point I felt confident that he isn't in law to play confusing games or give circular statements. Refreshingly smart! I plan on engaging this attorney for representation. I have spent thousands on trying to find an attorney that I felt confident going forward with considering the challenging dynamics of my case. I look forward to seeing what this attorney will produce!

I'd recommend Mr. Zimmer

I contacted him via telephone for the 39-dollar fee and I am so glad that I did. I had been looking over the attorneys listed and was becoming more frustrated. Not only did I have this legal problem lurking over me, I had no one to represent me or inform me of my options. So, I picked up the phone... and there was Mr. Zimmer. He helped me to understand the process, informed me of my options and said he would take it from here. He wrote some letters for me and submitted them the a creditor and I have had no additional problems from them. It was the best $200 I ever spent.

Excellent Attorney to work with

I contacted Mr. Zimmer about a used car that my husband and I had purchased out of town. We had problems with the dealership after the sale regarding a large fee that was charged. Mr. Zimmer listened to my questions, answered them, and gave me very clear options to pursue the matter. We hired him. He... did exactly what he said that he would do. He had the matter completely resolved within one week in our favor. He returned every call and every email. This was my first time hiring an attorney. If we have any future needs (hopefully we don't), I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
