Dr. Zinman is a one of a kind, the hardest working attorney in the industry.

Dr. Zinman represented me in a dental malpractice case when no other attorney in my state would. He is not only a top notch attorney but also one who truely cares about his clients and the harm that was done to them. He ALWAYS had my best interest at heart and his fee was NEVER a part of his concer...n. He will always answer your questions (there is no big black hole like with many others), he'll keep you informed and will allow you to make decisions based upon his legal guidance. I don't think more than a handful of days (in over 2 years) ever went by that I didn't hear from him, including weekends. To me, he has forever negated the stereotype of what the public thinks of attorneys. I could not have found a more qualified, more compassionate attorney or friend. I didn't realize how well connected and respected he was until the day I went to my state dental school with him and saw students and faculty tripping all over themselves to meet him! That was when I realized that he is not just any attorney who takes dental malpractice cases but instead a well respected dentist who is also a well respected attorney. As it was recently said in a prominent dental publication, "The last thing you ever want to get is a subpoena from Edwin Zinman". I second that. I am priviledged to have had him on my side and to be able to consider him a friend. His entire staff is as professional and caring as he. They just don't come any better.

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."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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!"
