DISRESPECTFUL LAWYER, WILL CAUSE YOU DAMAGE! Stay away, this office is a joke. David Zelman is not honest. David Zelman does his clients wrong. David Zelman is only worried about how many hours he can bill, not how much he can recover for your loss When will David Zelman be DISBARRED?

Response from owner

Marcus? Who are you? Are you real? Definitely not a client. How would you know i will do damage to your case if you never had the opportunity of being a client?

Awesome, professional, knowledgeable and well prepared. There is nothing better than having an attorney on your side who is well versed in the law and capable of putting it together efficiently and presenting it well. Glad I found David!

I used Mr. Zelman for a car accident injury and was very pleased with his constant communication with me, the way he handled the case, and the end result - the settlement! Highly recommend.

David Zellman is completely unprofessional. Impatient, rude, just horrible. A terrible attorney that no one should hire. Dismissed my son’s civil rights.

Response from owner

No idea who Leah is. Dont have any Leahs as clients.

David Zelman is one of the best attorneys. He’s knows what he’s doing very informative. He’s very resilient, happy that I had the pleasure working with him. I can’t thank you enough.

This lawyer David Zelman took my son’s Civil Rights case against the NYPD in Federal Court and then went onto dismiss my son’s Civil Rights without notifying him. This lawyer should be disbarred. Maybe he works for the police or the city? Response to owner: February 1 2021 stipulation signed by David Zelman: Index number: 520726 / 2020. Document #4. IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, CONSENTED TO AND AGREED, by and between the attorneys for the parties, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that all Federal Causes of Action brought, or that could have been brought, against defendants, including the City of New York, are hereby dismissed with prejudice by plaintiff in this case and any case to be filed in, or remanded to, state court. The parties agree that this action will be remanded forthwith to the New York Supreme Court, Kings County, for all further proceedings dealing with the Plaintiff's state law claims only. The parties further agree that this stipulation will not be utilized to prohibit plaintiff from alleging any and all applicable state law causes of action and that Plaintiff only renounces his federal causes of action. So is David Zelman saying he did not sign and agree to this stipulation?

Response from owner

This never happened. Never represented Jack's son. Totally bogus review.

Response from owner

Mendel is not a client. Again, no idea who this might be. Not sure how you can gauge my intentions without being a client.

Lawyer David Zelman will mess up your case. Stay away. Find another lawyer. Same situation as when you go to a bad dentist.

Response from owner

Nick? This is another bogus review. Completely fake. Never a client. No experience with my firm.

David was my mother's attorney and he was very patient withher and very knowledgeable of the law. He's response time was great and he made the experience smooth as he possibly could for her. I really appreciate the care in which he handled my moms legal issue. I would definitely recommend him and use him in the future. Thank you David Zelman I appreciate you!

After my injury that happened back in late 2019 I was searching for a lawyer that I can put confidence into knowing they will do their best to resolve my case and bring it to a closure. After reading some reviews online I thought that I would have a good experience with David Zelman. But after what happened in my time dealing with David Zelman I was completely mistaken. He does whats only best for himself and not the client. He will NOT go to court to fight for you, he admits he doesn’t physically look good and will hire another law firm if necessary to show up. No paralegal is willing to work with him, they all leave him. He is a one man show with NO help. He’s unbelievably rude. He will give you the legal runaround, which equals to not being honest. I am spreading awareness to those who want an honest law firm to LOOK ELSEWHERE. David Zelman will cost you your time and money and most importantly your health will get worse dealing with David Zelman. David Zelman should be disbarred.

Response from owner

This is a long winded bogus review. Nate was never a client. I admit i dont look good? What does that mean. I look wonderful. You wouldnt know because you never met me. Get a life! Find your lawyer and review her.

Title: Unprofessional and Disrespectful Experience with Law Office of David Zelman I recently had the misfortune of contacting the Law Office of David Zelman to inquire about their services, specifically regarding suing the NYPD. Unfortunately, my experience was utterly disappointing and aligns with the numerous negative reviews I've seen online. When I called, I was met with blatant disrespect and unprofessionalism. I simply asked who I was speaking to, and the person on the phone refused to identify themselves. To make matters worse, they hung up on me. I called back, hoping for a more civil conversation, but was met with the same evasive behavior. Only when I mentioned the negative reviews did the person pause and briefly listen. This kind of attitude is unacceptable, especially from a law office. It's alarming to think that someone with such a demeanor would be negotiating on behalf of clients. The lack of transparency, accountability, and basic respect raises serious concerns about their ability to effectively represent clients and secure favorable settlements. In my opinion, it's best to avoid the Law Office of David Zelman and explore alternative options. Their unprofessional behavior is a clear indication of how they conduct business, and it's not worth risking your case or well-being. Shame on them for prioritizing arrogance over client satisfaction and effective representation.

Response from owner

Not a client. You probably didnt have a case and didnt like to be told the truth. Had you become a client i would think you could write a review helpful to prospective clients. But you didnt. So you cant.

Do you want the raw and uncut truth? What it's really like with David Zelman being your lawyer. Are you sure? Ok guys, read on. Working with Door Dash is all fun and smiles, UNTIL it's Not. Making money weekly, accomplishing your financial goals, taking care of your loved ones and etc. Your not waking up thinking that, Today is the day that will change everything about my life and loved ones lives as well. I got into a serious accident, delivering food with Door Dash, I remember waking up in the ambulance. Neck brace on, oxygen mask on, blood pressure cuff on my arms, and the paramedic standing over me. All I wanted was to call my family and let them know I'm ok. Let's fast forward, I go through the process at the hospital and eventually get discharged. Now is when life gets real. My responsibilities and bills. The pressure of life is weighing on me, on top of me recovering. David fought for me, not just from 9-5, endless hours. David fought for my medical to be paid so I can focus on recovery. Was it easy? Hell No. Their were days I called him yelling and frustrated, however he listened and always coached me through this process, that's out of our control. The insurance company will play this wait game, to discourage you and offer you LESS because they know how desperate you are. David was there every step of the way and he fought for resources for me. I was becoming pressed and wanted to take anything the insurance company offered at this point. I was behind in rent and was in the eviction process with the courts. David kept telling me to hold on, while he fought for more resources. Look guys, WE GOT THE MAX!!!!! I recommend David Zelman, listen guys, he's your Guy. He's goes above and beyond, he's not like the average lawyer in some cases, however guys, here's the raw and uncut truth, it's going to be a process, that's beyond David's control, however he will fight for you, just listen to him and be totally honest and Im telling you, you will not only win but WIN BIG! Thank you David, Henry.
