Difficult to work with.

Dissatisfied with my communication and service I received from Caroline Zinns. She expressed little to no interest in helping me get the treatment the doctors recommend and the insurance company disputed. I would not recommend her as an attorney.

This is an active client who not only received but completed treatment and authorized settlement, which has yet to finalize due to his lack of communication and cooperation thus, sabotaging his own best interests against advice. Nor has he exercised his options to assume representation or obtain new representation. A large part of our practice is devoted to appeals of denied medical care and we follow the process for all clients if legally possible and medically supported. Sometimes however care is denied because it is actually caused by something other than the work injury, such as asymptomatic pre existing conditions, and clients dispute medical opinion without any contrary medical opinion in support and this is just a failure to accept the reality of their particular situation that is not attributable to their legal representative who is bound by the laws, rules, regulations, etc. Objections to the process itself are appropriately remedied through legislative channels.

Caroline's email address says it all !!!!!

Caroline helped me with a "workman's compensation" issue that was 4 years old. The insurance company was trying to take advantage of my naivety regarding my severe injury on the job and, things just didn't seem right. Instinct told me to hire a lawyer and I'm SO VERY THANKFUL I did!! Caroline is k...nowledgeable and tough! Her advice was dead on at every turn! I've read some reviews saying they thought Caroline spoke to them disrespectfully. I never experienced that myself at any time. Caroline can be short and, to the point but, it takes some pretty thin skin to let that get in the way of the outcome of your ordeal. In the end, I received 3.5 times what the insurance company was offering me and for that, a little "let's get to the point", didn't hurt my feelings at all!!!!!! Like I said in my "Review Title", Caroline's email address says it all.....barracuda for justice, and THAT she IS!!

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.

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.
