Saddened by way my case was handled, have never seen anything like this before, and for someone who takes $5k and then says just do as they say its easier... not thrilled.
Update; sep, 4; I will be posting a copy of an email that was sent out to confirm i indeed gave them $5k. It will also show them trying to force me to take down my bad review or else. I'm waiting on my new attorney's approval before posting. Then Google can do its thing and the public can decide who is not being honest. I added a copy of edited email, deffently was my $5k, spent, sad couldn't even get return phone call, my childs

Our young adult son was at fault in a car accident 2 years ago. We were lost as to how to help him navigate the insurance repercussions, and finally consulted Mrs. Zimmerman, hoping for sound legal advice on the next steps for him to take. To our surprise, she not only walked us through the situation with great compassion and understanding; she also helped us reach a settlement that was far more reasonable than we expected. Our only regret is that we wasted so much time worrying- we should have called much sooner. We are so very grateful for her kindness, and would without reservation recommend

By far this team of attorneys husband and wife, are the best in Sarasota County if you ask my opinion. Both know the law in and out very well the ups and downs and any loopholes. by far I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney for any type of criminal, civil or any other matter. If for some reason they are unable to help you they will recommend someone that can help you and serve you as well as they can. (well just about as well as they can, because in my opinion they are number one in Sarasota County)

My husband was involved in a car accident and Mrs. Zimmerman was highly recommend to us. Both Laurie and Jennifer was very professional and handled our claim very quickly. It was nice to know that two great people were handling this and we didn't have to stress about it. We highly recommend Zimmerman and Zimmerman.

The Firm of Zimmerman and Zimmerman have successfully handled several legal issues for us. Mark handled a traffic case and got the case dismissed. Laurie handled a home owners claim and a flood insurance claim for us. Laurie successfully resolved both cases. I would highly recommend this firm, they are diligent, professional, assertive and caring.

I was represented by this excellent law firm when I had an accident in 2011. Laurie Zimmerman and her staff were prompt in keeping me updated as to the status of my case, and they got excellent results for me. I felt that as Mrs. Zimmerman's client, I was well cared for, not only in a legal area but also in my healing from the accident. She and her staff really went above and beyond for me. I recommend this law firm to anyone who has had an accident.

Zimmerman represented me on a case 6 yrs ago and was able to get it dropped bcz the cops did illegal things and there was plenty of precedent saying what the cops did was fully illegal. Mark is also a very nice man on top of being a great lawyer! So I always recommend him to people I know. No ones better!

This past year, I was involved in a serious accident where I went over the handle bars of my moped. Laurie and her assistant Jennifer provided quick and professional services throughout the entire process leaving no stone unturned. I was lost and in a dark time following the accident. Laurie provided light for me and now the case is finished. I am more than satisfied with the settlement I received. I have had the pleasure of knowing Mark and Laurie for about a decade now and have only good things to say about their entire family.
