Mr. Zipin is always easy, pleasant and of course one of the best lawyers. I was given very professional advice during our consultation which helped me a lot. You know what to expect from your lawyer, and Mr. Zipin does not let you down. After the court ruled in my favor in March, defendants wanted to settle the case. Mr. Zipin proved to be a talented trial lawyer as well as a skilled negotiator. Being “locked and loaded” for a long litigation battle, he tried to secure an excellent settlement. I can 100% recommend Mr. Zipin if you need help with employment law in the DC metropolitan area.

Hired another attorney to settle my discrimination case, who turned out to be unprofessional, rude with no follow through, the prior attorney was a waste of time and money. Phil took my case, ran with it and I got my settlement. Phil is diligent, professional, a good listener and kind.

I found Mr. Zipin to be thoughtful, knowledgeable, and professional in dealing with a mammoth employment discrimination issue. He is a member of the Women's Law Network. I appreciated his strategy and his empathy. Also, he did not run up some bill by over talking on the phone-- just to the point. He is well connected which is a SUPER wonderful quality. His firm has changed the life of my family for the good. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Yesterday, I received the settlement check that Phil Zipin helped me obtain from my former employer. It was twice as high as I was hoping to obtain when I went in to discuss the matter with Mr. Zipin. Not only was Phil able to give me excellent advice and to negotiate a favorable settlement, but I found him to be immediately likable and trustworthy. He has earned my highest recommendation.

Though I was going through a difficult situation, Phil helped by making things very clear and organized. He is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. He was honest, transparent and gave me clear options. I was glad he was on my side.

I hired Philip Zipin to provide guidance on how to handle my severance agreement from my previous employer. He offered objective and knowledgeable council, and was very instrumental in helping to negotiate a successful outcome in my favor. Philip Zipin is experienced in his field, knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and personable. It was a very unfortunate situation to have to be in, but I was very glad to have Phil help me navigate it and represent me.

Phil, is an amazing human being in addition to his professional counsel, and law practice. He is very reliable, honest, and wise person. I don't know what the last reviewer is talking about, but one thing I know for sure is that the problem is not with Phil. I can talk about my experience where he kept a very crazy Landlord at his bay every time he bark for no reason. I really do respect him for that. I strongly advise Phil, to work with.

Speaking from experience, I would highly recommend Phil Zipin, as legal counsel, to anyone who has been the subject of a wrongful discharge or discrimination in the workplace. I was careful to do my research before requesting a consultation, regarding my own case, involving disability discrimination. I am happy to share that, by the conclusion of my initial meeting with Phil, I was confident in hiring him as my attorney and his handling of my situation truly lived up to my expectations. Not only was he knowledgeable and skilled in the relevant aspects of the law, as well as both EEOC and federal court procedure, but he was also accessible, attentive, caring, easy to talk to and interested in my perspectives, throughout the case. I truly felt that we were working as a team. Thanks to Phil and his competent and effective representation, I was able to address my devastating experience with my past employer to a successful conclusion and move on with peace of mind.

Phil represented me as the plaintiff in a wrongful termination case where I sued a multi-millionaire former boss who lacked civility and integrity. A senior partner from a multinational law firm (with 4,200 lawyers) was chief defense counsel for my former boss. The firm is the largest law firm in the world -- measured by revenue and number of lawyers. Also, the firm was ranked 5th in the world by the "Sharplegal Global Elite Brand Index." Needless to say, I needed a thoroughbred lawyer -- in every sense of the word -- to represent me. What I got was that -- and more. We went to court four times during the discovery phase -- each time with the defendant's counsel seeking case dismissal or summary judgment in favor of her client. Each time, we prevailed. Ultimately, I was scheduled for 4 days of deposition. With Phil at my side, the defense chose to end my deposition after just 2 days -- requesting we enter into discussions to settle my case. After more than 4 weeks of Phil negotiating on my behalf, we settled our case for precisely what I had sought from my former boss prior to deciding to sue him, plus an appropriate amount to pay for Phil's services and expenses. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my former boss was a four-time convicted felon. He was arrested almost a year later, convicted of two additional felonies and sentenced to 3 years in federal prison. I subsequently learned that although he lost multiple times in criminal court, he had never lost or settled more than a dozen wrongful termination lawsuits brought against him over the previous 10 years. Phil Zipin is a tremendous lawyer. He brought intellectual prowess, powerful courtroom presence and a keen understanding of every aspect of my case. If I ever need the services of a premier employment law attorney in the future, Phil is the ONLY person I would engage to represent me or any member of my family. He's that good!
