We have worked with Mark since 2012 through a very messy custody matter. He has given us exceptional representation and success. Even though the fight was long, Mark worked hard and prevailed every step of the way. We recommend him to anyone and everyone.

I have been working with Mark over the last few years with a custody battle. My ex was causing problems with me and stopped, but then started up again this past spring. Mark has been very helpful with whole situation. I would highly recommend him as a lawyer. He has a lot of knowledge with the law and works with you.

Mark Zimmer provided an outstanding representation for my divorce case which was lengthy and complex. He paid close attention to the salient points of my case, maintained communication with me every step of the way, listened intently to me and worked out a plan that was logical to save additional steps and money which was greatly appreciated. He communicated persuasively and credibly for the many appearances this divorce case had with positive outcomes. Mark Zimmer is at the highest level of professional excellence and I highly recommend him.

Marks opening statement to the court was " Your honor this case is a crap shoot" I knew I picked the wrong attorney. After thousands of dollars paid he demanded payment in full for the balance or he was quitting the case. And he quit. Never won at anything in court but to have the judge let him quit. He than sued me for the money owed. We settled on a lower amount.
