Robert Walter Zierman

As soon as my wife and I hired Robert Zierman we began to sleep better! Although Robert's law office is several hours away from us, we chose Robert (Justice Smiles, Plllc) for help in a festering Boundary Dispute with an aggressive new neighbor. Why Robert? A boundary dispute some 20 years ago taugh...t us that such real estate matters are a specialized area of the law. We searched and failed to find a local lawyer who had more than a minor part of their practice based on Real Estate. So we looked further afield for a ''specialist". And while doing our Internet research on the subject of boundary disputes, we found our expert, Robert Zierman, and we also found many helpful articles that Robert himself had authored. Enlisting Robert for our legal representation was a VERY GOOD choice! Robert thoroughly reviewed our situation and then carefully identified several alternative courses of action for us....plus he identified the likely costs, benefits and risks of each course of action. Robert's expertise and his calming demeanor also seemed to keep the other parties from unnecessarily escalating the situation. Bottom Line: Very glad we found and used Robert Zierman for our boundary problem. It WAS money well spent. We found Robert to be very time efficient because he was already so knowledgeable about the subject area. We felt we were in "good hands" with Robert from Day 1. We found Robert trustworthy and hard working. He tries to deescalate and resolve confrontations. It has been a pleasure working through this awkward situation employing a true professional like Robert Zierman. We consider the negotiated outcome "fair". We couldn't ask for more. Hiring Robert was certainly a wonderful choice for us. Highly recommended.

Robert Zierman was very helpful to us in diffusing our feelings, which are the most important ingredient in a property line dispute. Behind the scenes, he worked with us on preparing courteous answers in our own words to an unreasonable neighbor. It was helpful to have an expert on boundary dispute... law in our corner. If I had been our neighbor, I would have settled early and been glad to save a neighborly friendship--I believe most neighbors would have--so we are dealing with a personality problem, more than a property issue. For now we have chosen to pause before moving forward with litigation. If the neighbor was a reasonable person, we have no doubt that this would have been resolved quickly. Robert’s style is not in warlike, bully-posturing at the outset. He believes in first trying to achieve peaceful settlements through a sensible exploration of alternatives, and it was a relief for us to learn that there were alternatives!

When my husband and I needed counsel on a boundary issue with our neighbor, Robert Zierman of Justice Smiles took the time to understand our concerns, gave us helpful information about our options under the law, and helped us create a solution to our issue that worked for us. He was knowledgeable, in...formed, and generous. I would work with Robert again if I needed a good boundary and land use lawyer.

Robert Zierman helped me with a Quiet Title action case which helped me aquire an abandoned parcel of property that I had paid property taxes on for the past 20 years and which was located next door to a home I lived at for 21 years. Although my case was a very unique one, Robert did a very thorough... and excellent job in researching what needed to be done and succeeded in getting the matter settled for me with no problems. I very much enjoyed working with Mr. Zierman, finding him to not only be a very professional and knowledgable attorney, but a very personable and caring person as well. I would definitely seek his help again if I am ever in need with any matter in his area of practice. Thank you very much Robert! Cheers!
