Plaintiff

In dental malpractice, there may be no finer attorney. But be forewarned: malpractice defense is backed by deep pocket insurance firms who will wear you down and bleed you dry, causing you to begin to wonder about justice. It does not matter how much you've been damaged or how many times your doctor ...lied to you. Insurance-backed defense is obscene. Ed Zinman is both dentist and lawyer and if there is a cause of action, he's tops. Make sure he discloses REAL expenses up front, as the hiring of experts will drain your bank account.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Zinman practices law at a level beyond most of my peers. He is diligent and efficient in his representation of clients. More importantly, his communication skills and ability to respond in a timely manner to any and all requests for information is above and beyond what I have ever experienced with any lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Zinman and would refer any person injured seeking representation in a medical malpractice or personal injury case in California."

"I had the pleasure of working on a dental malpractice case in Virginia with Ed. His experience and expertise both as a lawyer and a dentist were invaluable. We were able to achieve a great result for our client. I would welcome the opportunity to work with again and give him my endorsement. If you have a substantial case you should contact Ed!"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
