Guilty of Greatness

Don’t stop here. Give him a call. My case seemed nearly impossible. Especially when the majority of the evidence involving my case was hearsay and could not be used to my benefit in a court of law. Mr. Zenner came through. He understood that the charges against me were not just criminal charges with ...attached consequences and court orders. But that these were charges that impacted the integrity and the lives of my wife and children and myself. He protected us and kept us safe where I am sure most attorneys would have convinced us to take a plea bargain. Thanks to his council and expert (super hero-like) qualities, I was found not guilty of 3 counts of assault in the 4th degree. My family and I can now move on with our lives and put the nightmare of this terrrible experience behind us. Super heroes come in many forms, Mr. Zenner is a family man. We trust him. Daredevil better watch out, Matthew Zenner has vision. He is a man of character and integrity! He’s got grit! And he’s got your back!!!! Thank you Mr. Zenner, you saved our lives. We appreciate you.

Matt saved my life

This is my "easy-to-read" review while I am currently finishing my real review. My thorough review will explain my case in greater detail and serve as a beacon to all those who are seeking Outstanding Counsel. It will highlight my obstacles and the forces of opposition that Mr. Zenner overcame. (And... I will tell you, The City of Kent did not make any of it easy for me, but gave opportunities that came directly due to Mr. Zenner's presence.) I was attacked by my neighbor, due to my son and his friend playing in the hallway at my former apartment. The neighbor gave into his rage and violently threatened me, my child and future with violence after attacking me because I refused to hit my child (for playing with his friend at 8:30pm on the weekend.) I was charged with assault in the 4th degree as I defended myself. My former neighbor who suffers from control issues and rage, was attempting to claim that he was studying law, which gave him great insight on how one takes legal "vengeance" upon another; and he used it with extreme application. He perfected his story as it kept becoming more and more refined, and the city absolutely adored it. However, that did not stop Mr. Zenner from cutting through the B/S, and I'll tell you right now, he dang well took the fight to the City's doorstep. The City was given all their cards and Mr. Zenner had to find new and down right inventive matters on-the-fly as the case progressed. He did and the City kept there stance. *A force does not simply stop but evolves as it must. That is precisely what Mr. Zenner did. Mr Zenner, has a "No Quit, Win Mentality". Not at the expense of debunking Justice, but at the liberty of upholding it. Mr. Zenner, posses an absolute power because he isn't playing one game, he's playing many. And when your life is on the line as mine was, Mr. Zenner is your only hope in a system that couldn't care, doesn't care and refuses to care. Mr. Zenner is an absolute WINNER. He went above and beyond and is the Right Man for the job and the Best One. I am as of yesterday proven innocent found by a jury because of Mr. Zenner, and his Lion's heart will to win mentality and tactical evolution. Whether I would have won or lost, my opinion would have stayed the same. To me, this a powerful statement I rarely speak. Believe me when I say that Matt is the Michael Jordan of Attorney's.
