Karfis - I would like to thank you personally and the law firm of Zamler, Shiffman & Karfis for the outstanding effort and your persistence in my case, which granted me a judgment. Donald Shiffman and Val - Thank you for all your help with my Social Security Disability. I loved the letter that you sent on my behalf to the Judge!
This case is an example of how the tenacious attorneys of Zamler, Shiffman & Karfis fight for justice. For nearly 5 years, we fought this case through the Court of Appeals and up to the Supreme Court of Michigan. In May of 2015, our client sustained serious injuries in a zip line accident.

The impact with the ground at the end of the zip line ride was so great that it resulted in multiple surgical injuries to our client's back and knees injuries which have had a permanent impact on her quality of life.This legal fight alleging negligence against the zip line-owner began in November of 2015.

We are the Asbestos - Mesothelioma lawyers who are willing to go above and beyond to get results.
A doctor has diagnosed you or a loved one with a disease called Mesothelioma. The doctor may have mentioned that there is only one cause of this disease: asbestos exposure. However, what the doctor may not have mentioned is that, if that exposure was work-related, you may be able to take legal action to seek compensation.

I met with Mr Zamler, and I'm very happy that he cared, and believed in my Tramatic injurys. I then met with Attorney Richard Ehrlich who truly took the time, and always responded to my calls. I couldn't believe how hard Mr Ehrlich worked for me, and won. I highly recommend the firm, and the staff. I also appreciated Cindy Mr Ehrlich's assistant, and also Attorney Paul Rosen all working hard for me very appreciated!

You know before you choose someone to represent you, you need to do the research. I googled, I asked family and friends. Everybody said, "call Sam". Let me tell you this is one time that I decided to listen to MY VOICE, and I'm so glad I did. Zamler is just AMAZING! HE listens to you, he keeps you informed. I truly believes he understands and feels your pain. Exactly what you need when you're hurt, confused and lost your way of living. Can somebody, anybody name a lawyer that calls you the day before a holiday and wishes you the best? Zamler did and I swear I needed that so bad. I went from being

Listen DONT GO HERE if your hurt and confused. These guys will send you through hell and make you regret that you didnt know who to call. Untrustworthy and aggressive, they'll make you hurry up and wait for years to settle. They cooked the books with the doctors in their favor and low balled me on the settlement.

They chose to pass my case on to another firm and the other firm also passed on my slip and fall case.

My extended family was in a horrific car accident out of state. Mr. Zamler and his staff went out of their way to help my family. They made recommendations about what to do and whom to contact while they were in a hospital out of state and upon their return help them with the proper legal course of action. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Before you can even talk to a lawyer, you are screen called by people who have no business doing the job they're doing. They are idiotic, forgetful and do not follow through with their job. I would not recommend going to a law office that has been around for years and on tv since I was a small child. I expected so much more and heard so many good things about this law firm, that I was highly disappointed. Don't waste your time or energy because they certainly will not put the time or energy into you and your case. For someone that has been in the community for so long I would have expected
