This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent representation.

Mr. Zaret was a pleasure to work with. He worked diligently, thorough, reliable, and fast. Mr. Zaret worked 200% for me and my concerns. Your are in very good hands when you hire his services. I only can recommend him.

Successful result

Mr. Zaret was recommended to me by a coworker after I was injured in a hit and run. This was my first experience working with a lawyer and it was very positive - I went in to the consultation really just hoping my medical expenses would be covered, and a year later came out with more than $10,000. ...Mr. Zaret and his team provided clear instructions on how to advocate for myself and do my part to bring the offending party to a settlement, and together we succeeded. I have already recommended him to another coworker seeking a personal injury attorney. I'm really pleased with my experience.

Caring, Patient, and Professional

I was referred to Thomas Zaret through another firm who recommended him based on my specific situation. He was patient and answered any (many) questions that I had on the process. He also went above and beyond all the way through to the resolution. I would definitely recommend him 100%!

Hard working and Professional

I was told about Thomas Zaret through a friend after I had an accident. From the very beginning he was nothing but professional, we got all my paperwork in order and settled much sooner than I had expected. I'm hoping I'll ever need a reason to need a personal injury lawyer again, but he'll be the on...e I reach out to if I do.

Tom is an Excellent Attorney

We used Tom twice and he is an excellent attorney........very honest, ethical, punctual, pays attention to the tiniest details, gets exceptional results, has an excellent staff and very professional. On a scale of 10 I would rate him a 15+!!!! If you use Tom you would have no regrets.

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.
