Civil Litigation Law

The Zimner Law team is available to help our clients with non-transactional matters that arise in their personal and professional lives. In particular, civil litigation is a broad way of describing any non-criminal action. Our firm has handled a variety of these cases, including breach of contract (corporate, commercial, personal), Surrogate’s court matters (or matters involving contested decedents’ estates), property damage cases, personal injury, landlord-tenant matters, partition, and employment. We have appeared in Federal, Civil, and State Courts. Our jurisdictions cover New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

TESTIMONIALS

I have recommended Jay to many of my buyers and sellers over the years. His attentiveness, experience and ability to communicate legal documents to laypeople is an important comfort to my clients. He is a problem solver and turns things around quickly, which is important in a fast-moving Manhattan real estate market. Jay and his team are excellent and I will continue to recommend him for Real Estate transactions.

Jay Zimner helped my neighbor with a squatter issue in her recently deceased mother’s apartment. He was quick to respond, congenial, knowledgeable, and professional. The matter was successfully handled. Jay also helped my wife with a renter’s question years ago. He sets the bar for immediate actionable service and his caring demeanor disavows all lawyer stereo-types. I highly recommend Jay for any residential property issue.

James F.

Jay is a consummate professional. He managed all aspects of my real estate purchase from contract to closing, and he explained everything along the way so I easily understood. He’s a true gentleman and clearly the seller’s side liked him too, which made it easier to resolve the few disputes we had with the seller during the process. He’s clearly a “deal maker” not a “deal breaker”. I will trust Jay with any real estate or litigation need in the future.

Jay represented me in a closing. His office is respectful of both sides and they simply get it done. Thanks Jay!
