This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

HIghly recommended

Mr. Zoldan recently advised me on how to handle separation and severance from my former employer. His advice helped me through a difficult time.

Great Consultation

Dealing with a potential breach of contract with a former contractor, which has been stressful to say the least. I arranged for a consult with Mr. Zoldan and couldn't have asked or expected more. He was very honest in what we could expect, as well as what we could do to minimize our exposure. Utmost ...professionalism and I will be sure to contact him again if the need arises. I strongly recommend his services.

Mr. Zoldan is a master at his craft

Mr. Zoldan is a master at his craft. He knows when to strike and get the top dollar for claims. I highly recommend him to negotiate severance agreements. We filled with the EEOC and everything he predicted came to fruition. Great Phoenix Arizona Employment Lawyer.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Won a HUUUUUGE Settlement

Mr. Zoldan won me a ton of money for a sexual harassment suit against a fortune 200 company. It was a long time coming and I feel vindicated in my results. He took me through the EEOC into filing a lawsuit in Federal Court and then settling at mediation. The process was explained to me perfectly a...nd the results were better than expected. Mr. Zoldan fights for the people who don't know the law and have little voices out there over big corporations.

Settled at mediation with help from Mr. Zoldan

I consulted and then hired Mr. Zoldan for a racial discrimination at work. We settled at mediation and we were both happy with the result.

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.
