• “I have had the pleasure of working with Marc and his firm as an Expert witness on several occasions. Each time has been a pleasure to work with a (cost) effective, efficient and knowledgeable law firm. While many profess to know the law and procedure(s), it is quite another talent to know how to close the file. Marc and his Firm know how to do that without throwing money out the window. I heartily recommend him and his firm for the defense of any kind of Professional Liability claim.” January 31, 2010

    put in my case. Your closing argument was amazing. Your expertise and professionalism in the final day delivered the decisive victory for all of us. The seventeen minutes jury deliberation is unforgettable. You are truly the master in the law of business.
    I wish you continued success in the future. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

    --Allen Baghallian (Insurance broker client)
  • I would like everyone to know that Marc Zimet did an amazing job for our insured yesterday.  (The insured) failed to pass on a Notice of Claim to its client’s insurer (itself an insurance broker) and was subsequently denied coverage by its prior insurer as a result.

    --Charles A. Lynch, Esq.
  • Marc and his firm were instrumental in obtaining for us and our investment brokerage, an excellent resolution of what we perceived as a frivolous claim.  Most importantly, he did so quickly so as to protect us personally with respect to FINRA, enabling us to get on with our business.  We recommend Jampol Zimet LLP if you need a FINRA claim resolved well and resolved quickly. 

    --Clay Erickson, Investment broker - Utah
  • Our construction defect/liability team is pleased with the work you have done on their files.   We like attorneys that get to the point of an issue, no matter how complex, boil it down to its points and get it postured for resolution.
