This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A solid, honest, smart advocate

Robert Zipser navigated me through a contentious copyright lawsuit brought by an unscrupulous wannabe producer who claimed ownership in a screenplay I'd written after doing nothing with it. Preposterous though the claim was, it threatened my exclusive ownership of an original work dear to my heart, a...nd Robert resolved the issue deftly and economically. He's a trustworthy professional with wide entertainment industry experience, easy to work with, always available, and an affable, witty fellow as well.

Outstanding Attorney

I've worked with Robert since the beginning of 2005 and have always found him accessible and knowledgable and above all, patient, fair and a great listener. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Robert Zipser should be cloned. He is the best, period!

I've worked with lawyers for years and all their bad reviews are deserved, and not until we started working with him in 1994 did he restore our faith in both Law and Justice. He is so honest he should be the President. We've worked together often since 1994 and will continue to do so.

A competent, thoughtful, and trustworthy lawyer

I've used Robert's services since the early 1990s, and he has always delivered impeccable advice and legal service, always economizing on his time and doing his best to further my interests. He is ethical, well-informed in his specialties, and well-connected.

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.
