Do not hire

Asks for $10k to start does more to help th apposition delays everything avoids any form of contact is a con artist

Posted by anonymous | July 21, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Took the coward's way out, left his clients holding the bag.

His law firm has concealed for a year, that Steakley died in 2020!!! He wisely decided as the number of his angry clients increased, wanting to know why every other client in the J&J litigation was getting offers of 7 figures, and not one of his was over five. He sent deceitful letters to his clie...nts telling them they should accept an offer he obtained for them that did not include any of the factors making their case worth REAL money.

Great Service for an excellent price

Zollie and his staff were very responsive to my needs. Ultimately, I got a great deal AND the results I'd hoped for. Kudos to Zollie and his staff, especially his paralegal Cari!

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.
