Highly Comprehensive Approach

Our experience was very positive and we are highly satisfied with our legacy plan. We particularly appreciate the comprehensive approach that Zimmer provides. Matt is very knowledgeable and had many helpful suggestions. Ashley was well organized and well prepared for meetings. We highly recommend Zim...mer.

3 Yr. Trust Review

As always, the staff of Zimmer provided us a comprehensive review of our 3 yr. Trust review, changes based on new laws were incorporated as well as changes we requested. Matthew listened/discussed and made the changes, Megan was there as we signed the documents to explain in plain english what was in... the documents and answer questions. All in all, a pleasant, thoughtful experience, confirmed we made right decision in coming to Zimmer.

Great Satisfaction!

From the Saturday morning seminar to the review to signing and completion of our estate planning everything was explained and easy to understand, people were great and now comfortable that all this is done.

Estate Planning at its Best.

Our experience with the Zimmer Law Firm has been nothing short of exceptional. You could talk about focus on estate planning, the years of experience and members of key organizations. But for us it has been the overall experience with the people. Everyone, from Barry to Matt to the rest of the staff,... everyone has been courteous, respectful and friendly. It shows that they all have the client’s interests as their priority, not just selling a product. If you are looking for a comprehensive estate plan and continued support by your law firm, we would highly recommend the Zimmer Law Firm.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
