Sydney Dolan and the entire team at Dolan + Zimmerman are fantastic and I highly recommend them. They were incredibly professional, kind, prepared, and a true pleasure to work with. Despite finding myself in a very stressful situation, I am so appreciative of their help, experience, and expertise — and so glad to have worked with them. I highly recommend Sydney Dolan and her team for anyone needing their services. Thank you!

You can’t get better legal representation than Jennifer Zimmerman and the team that comes with her. Worth every penny and would recommend to anyone seeking the best.

Sydney Dolan is a dedicated, smart and patient lawyer that will take the time to understand what you need to prevail. With her extensive knowledge of the law, and her pragmatic vision, your case will reach the best possible outcome. Follow her lead. Simply the best.

Just a consultation but Zimmerman demonstrated a breadth of reflexive and deep knowledge of law in a 10 minute call that was incredibly reassuring, and reccomended attorneys that would best accommodate my financial situation. That small gesture show so much professionalism and respect for people in general!

Our family is grateful for the caring, knowledgeable, professional attorneys and staff at Dolan + Zimmerman negotiating and finalizing the terms of our daughter's divorce settlement. It was a stressful time, but with Dolan + Zimmerman on board we felt everything was under control. They did an excellent job, handling difficult matters professionally and expediently.

Jennifer Zimmerman is an understanding, compassionate and competent attorney.

I was not informed that I couldn't be represented by this law firm anymore because of my review below. They waited until I had an emergency situation and reached out for help to inform me that they could not represent me and that they would be withdrawing from the case. Very unprofessional, but I guess I can't be too surprised. ********original review********* My attorney, Lauren Shepherd, was not initially hired with this firm. She moved mid-way through the case, but it seems that when she left, the quality did, too. Our final orders were in February, and since then, my attorney has become non responsive to any emails I've sent her. Unfortunately, for me, final orders was not the end of my case as there were so many loopholes left open in the order that left so much room for more manipulation and abuse from my ex, and he's now in contempt, but nothing is being done about it. In the beginning, she seemed like she really wanted to help me with my post-decree parental alienation case, but she was very passive, and I didn't get any time back with my son. I don't feel like she really fought for me at all. And now she's not answering my emails. During the trial prep, I sent her a bunch of things to use as evidence, and she barely used any of it, claiming we weren't going to have time to use it all. Our full day trial ended before lunch, so we had plenty of time. It seems for someone with several years experience, she wasn't very experienced in handling a high conflict case and now I'm left to figure it out on my own or fork out another retainer to another attorney that's willing to actually fight for my kids' best interests. Very dissatisfied.

If you find yourself suddenly or slowly revolving around in cascading events; regarding both potential and actual LE actions and need to sort out what is ‘actually’ going on in your circumstances, this IS the team, hands down. Very professional always! Even when you are trying to piece together any clarity that has escaped situation during your consultation. They listen, walk the walk entirely (your walk) with you. Court presentation and respect from judges, DA’s and others is earned. This team has earned via diligence and good work strategy in their case preparations (mine had multiple) that correct words matter to gain that voice YOUR voice, the one that has been drowned out to be ultimately heard. It may take time but worth everything to gain on your behalf. In other words, do not want to envision if I had tried to continue to navigate my case myself.

This was truly an instance of extraordinary professionalism and legal acumen, but equally so empathy. I couldn’t recommend Jen or the firm more.

Out of all the lawyers I have interacted with in my life Sydney Dolan is by far the worst, this attorney’s most used words are “I don’t know”, along with discriminating remarks about me. 20,000$ down the drain for my child custody battle. At first she will seem very Reassuring and confident and as soon as she gets the retainer fee, she will slowly make you think you have to settle for little to nothing. She has no passion for her clients and dose not push for what is right, very disappointing as I have only seen my daughter for 1 hour a week for the past year. Do Not Recommend!

We had a serious and challenging legal issue for our minor child this year and were recommended to Jennifer Zimmerman by a trusted lawyer. She went above and beyond at every step of the process which included lightning fast responses as our issue was time sensitive. She was clear and direct and provided excellent counsel to us and directly to our teen on the process and recommendations. I could not have asked for anything more. We felt taken care of, supported and knew what to expect through her clear communication and prep.
