What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

LFL Verified 2026

Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.

No public discipline

None of the 2 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.

Frequently asked questions

How much does ZMO Law charge?
ZMO Law publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee.
Does ZMO Law offer a free consultation?
ZMO Law does not publish a free consultation on the pages we read. That is not the same as charging for one, and it is worth asking. The intake line is published as open around the clock.
Where does ZMO Law have offices?
ZMO Law publishes one office, in Manhattan. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at ZMO Law?
ZMO Law names five attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. 2 of 5 named attorneys are currently registered and none carries an adverse status. 3 could not be told apart from namesakes in the register and are counted neither way.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about ZMO Law?
ZMO Law scores 39 and sits at Verified. Passed: licensure, discipline, entity registration, website and footprint. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
