  I can't say enough good things about my experience. From the minute I walked into the office I was treated warmly. My review of Mr Zimmerman is that he is a kind and compassionate person who truly listens to you and understands what your going through and treated me with the utmost respect and handled my case like a true professional. I would highly recommend Mr Zimmerman to anyone looking for an exceptional lawyer.

  Jim is one of the most genuine and caring attorneys I've ever met. He is incredibly knowledgeable in real estate law and I highly recommend him for any and all legal counsel you may need in this area!

  My husband and I had to file bankruptcy back in 2011 and we used Jim Zimmerman. At the time we were a bit ignorant on the process and he really didn't explain much to us nor told us when we could purchase another home after the waiting period from a bankruptcy. We did eventually purchase something but believed we needed my mother in law to co-sign to purchase (which we later found out that we did not). None of this is Jim's fault, of course, but now that we're in a situation with mother in law to now remove her from deed to gain sole ownership of our home she wants to (despite the fact she has not spent a dime on home nor pays the mortgage on home) wants to add it in her will to three other children that joint tenancy of our home. I called Jim Zimmerman's office two weeks ago to set up a consultation to complete quitclaim deed paperwork and if we needed to go further with suing mother in law for the money we had paid her to buy her out and with her notarized agreement to sign herself from deed, but he never returned our call. I guess if the lawyer sees no money in helping someone he then doesn't call people back! Of course we will eventually find a lawyer to help us in the process but I do want to post that I'm not happy that (in our desperate time of need for legal assistance) Jim Zimmerman wouldn't even call us back or give us the time of day! Not professional and I would not recommend him to anyone, ever! His receptionist had promised me that she would relay my message and Jim would return our call, but he never did. If I would have known what kind of a person he was in 2011 I would have NEVER used him in our bankruptcy either! Awful person! Uncaring! Inconsiderate! Doesn't return calls! Never use him!

  James Zimmerman was amazing. He was kind and listened to ALL my concerns. Extremely knowledgeable in all my questions and gave me great advice. In speaking with James you know he is looking out for your best interests. I will definitely be working with him on my current issue or any other. He is also so easy to speak with. He is now in my contacts list for any legal issue. Put him in yours!

  Was referred to him through a mutual contact. Promised he would send over paperwork, and never responded to phone calls. If you don't want to take my case, just say " hey, I'm not interested".Don't leave someone hanging.I guess the negative reviews have some merit. Called another attorney and he responded promptly.

  Mr. Zimmerman is someone I highly recommend for ANYONE seeking great counseling and legal services. He is by far the RIGHT attorney to stand by his clients' side. He is very professional, diligent and very smart in the field of law. My case was very complicated but from the first day we had the consultation, I realized he was very knowledgeable on countless areas of law and did not hesitate to hire him. I can strongly say he is an expert in the field and definitely values his clients/cases. James is one of the most honest and straightforward attorneys out there. I can simply express that he DOES NOT "beat around the bush" like most others that just want to get paid to do nothing. He steers his clients down the right path and the services he provides are outstanding. He just does not stop until he gets results and solutions. He is worth every damn penny!!! Definitely earned my respect and trust. Much appreciated, Thank you.

  I hired James Zimmerman and paid promptly for legal services. Unfortunately, after receiving payment, he failed to perform any meaningful work on my case for over a month. He did not obtain the necessary file from my previous attorney, made minimal effort to contact relevant agencies (only left voicemails), and showed a clear lack of engagement throughout. Despite repeated follow-ups, I received no substantive updates, and only after persistent emails did I even receive a copy of the retainer agreement—three weeks after payment. When I requested a refund due to the lack of services provided, instead of acknowledging the issue, he became argumentative and refused to take responsibility. This was a deeply disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this attorney based on his lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability. There much better lawyers. DO NOT WORK WITH HIM!!!

  Mr. Zimmermann is a fantastic bankruptcy attorney who handled my case with care, efficiency and urgency. We were able to beat a judgement against me in the nick of time, and I truly feel a sense of relief due to the services of Mr. Zimmermann and filing for bankruptcy. 10/10 stars don't hesitate to reach out to navigate the bankruptcy process. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Mr. Zimmermann for everything!
