Jon Michael Zimmerman headshot

Appeals lawyer | Jun 13

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Schochet is an excellent appellate attorney who puts in the time required to obtain the best results for his clients. Whether it is winning a green card for a Honduran street child, reclaiming social security benefits for the disabled, or upholding one's First Amendment rights, Mr. Schochet has proven time and time again that he can be relied on time and again to argue and win. His unhindered, unfettered, and unabashed advocacy on behalf of his clients distinguishes him from the average attorney. If the stakes are high, I would highly recommend Mr. Schochet for your next state or federal appeal. "
