Dr. Zinman is as professional and caring a person as you’d ever care to encounter. He is responsive, helpful, kind and really goes the extra mile when interacting with you. His support and expertise have been invaluable to me. He seems to always be available 24⁄7 and nothing is too much trouble for him. In my opinion, he is not just an exceptionally knowledgeable lawyer and dentist, he is also a true humanitarian.

He claimed to be intimidated by judge at the Redwood City Courthouse. Settled low without my daughter’s knowledge. And kept an additional $ 5,000 for himself, again without her permission.
His staff and partner are very protective of him.
He’s got to be in his 80’s. We intend to file complaint with California State Bar. Now her teeth are all messed up. Just because Dr. Zinman didn’t take into consideration the other teeth the dentist worked on. She’s miserable and missing a few teeth.

I have known Ed Zinman for many years as the finest dental malpractice lawyer in California. The recent one star review excoriating him makes no sense. As a volunteer settlement officer with the local court, I have seen first hand how Ed handles cases from the inception. He vets all cases thoroughly to make sure they meet his high standards for malpractice. He obtains all records and films. He reads the films himself, since he is a dentist. He then retains the best experts to render bulletproof opinions that make it likely the case can settle for excellent value.
If the case has to be litigated or tried, Ed is the premier dental malpractice trial lawyer around.

Dr. Zinman took my call immediately. He is very personable and gave me expert advice. I have been looking for months for someone of his caliber to guide me through the legal process after I received sub-​standard dental work.
I feel much more at ease about the future now that I am armed with the information Dr. Zinman gave me.
He will not tell you what you want to hear just to appease you, but offers a straight forward approach to your case with his veteran ‘standard of care’ background.
Thank you, Dr. Zinman!

Dr Zinman saved my teeth! I can’t thank him more for that. In 2009, half way along my orthodontic treatment. I was told I had severe bone loss on TWO of my second molars; the opinion then was to extract them. I was totally shocked and scared. How was it possible? I was in tears day and night after the diagnosis and just not far away from getting depression. Because I followed that orthodontist LXX’s recommendation, FOUR good first molars had already been extracted for braces and he was telling me TWO more would be lost. Even worse, Dr SXXX, the big boss, wanted to kick me out and finish with me ASAP. I still had 4 big gaps at that time. Something was not right. I found Dr Zinman. Not only immediately Dr Zinman referred me to a team of excellent specialists, he also fought for me relentless and was not afraid of wrestling with the defendant dentists and lawyers backed up by insurance companies with BIG MONEY. Had not Dr Zinman taken my case, I wouldn’t have been able to have a peace of mind because I knew my teeth were in the care of good hands.
Just not long ago, Dr Zinman finally achieved the Mission Impossible. He is the first and most hard working dentist lawyer I have ever met. Finally, an advice for anyone received ill dental care: Seek Dr Zinman’s help.

Mr. Zinman is truly a pioneer in his field. After being a practicing dentist, and getting tired of all the poor dental work being done, he decided to do something about it. Mr. Zinman is extremely knowledgeable, as one would expect from a lawyer who was a dentist, though none of the arrogance that one might also expect. A truly exceptional lawyer who will help you in your time of need.
