STATEMENT FROM ATTORNEY ZUCKERMAN

With many attorneys to choose from in Pittsburgh, finding the right attorney for your case is crucial. What separates me from other lawyers is my diverse criminal law experience combined with my empathy and compassion for my clients. When you hire our firm, you will have the ability to dial directly to my work cell phone. I don't have your calls screened by a paralegal or call answering service. If I'm able to talk, I'll pick up the phone. If not, I will listen to your voicemail and return your call as soon as possible.

I understand that not every case or client is alike. Some clients are outraged by false accusations and want to go to trial. Others want to seek a plea deal as early on in the process as possible, and want a strong but sensible advocate to soften the blow. We tailor our approach to fit your goals and circumstances.

I will not pressure you into taking a plea agreement that you are opposed to taking, or profit from encouraging you to fight a losing battle at trial. Most importantly, I will provide you with honest and direct advice, and will not shy away from having difficult but necessary conversations with clients.

Whether it's a traffic ticket or a serious felony charge, we understand that your case is extremely important to you. I encourage you to call me today to decide if our firm is the right firm to take on your case.  

Sincerely, 

David S. Zuckerman, Esquire. Call 412-447-5580.
