Mediation Masters was founded by attorney Ian Paul Zimmerman a trial attorney with 42 years experiences trying a full range of cases both criminal and civil for both plaintiffs and defendants.
Ian’s guiding philosophy is that while some cases may “need” to be tried the overwhelming majority should be settled.
Why?
Because there is way too much uncertainly even in our highly digitized world to confidently leave the final say of your case’s disposition to 12 strangers all of whom are lay persons most of whose knowledge of law comes from TV or Hollywood.
Mediation Masters™, founded by Mediator and former trial attorney Ian Zimmerman has ONE goal- to settle cases sooner, fairly, less expensively and with far less wear and tear on all concerned.
Over forty years of experience:
In-depth subject matter expertise in PERSONAL INJURY and MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE cases.
Real world TRIAL experience from over 50 COURTROOMS in California and New York in both ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ counties over 42 years!!
In- person or Virtual mediation VIA ZOOM.
Ian Zimmerman is simply the best personal injury attorney in the business. I had a serious injury accident 4 years ago across the bay. Just prior to the mediation, I had the good fortune to meet Ian. I had serious problems and concerns with the atty I'd been using. He was simply not doing the job, almost as if he didn't care. Ian took over and provided not only his incredible skill and experience, but treated me like I was his only client. He obviously loves his job! Nothing was overlooked. Ian's thorough, quick with follow-up, brilliant with letter writing and always there for you. He's not afraid of anything. He also has an incredible professional reputation as I asked several other attorneys I know. I'm sure my case would have had a very poor outcome if it wasn't for Ian's expertise. Personal Injury is such a specialized field. It takes a different skill set than other areas of law. Each case is unique. Ian gets that!! I recommend him 110%. IAN ZIMMERMAN is clearly the BEST.
I went to Ian Zimmerman when I was injured because he's had years of experience as a lawyer. Not only is he a good listener, smart, fierce, analytical, fair, ethical, and good communicator -- he is also empathetic and understanding. He earned my trust by providing me with excellent advice and guidance every step of the way. He's a great advocate for his clients. I never felt alone. I knew he was fighting to get the best outcome possible for me. Without a doubt, Ian Zimmerman is the best lawyer around! He won't disappoint.
Can't say enough good things about Ian Zimmerman and his legal skills. Sharp guy, who knows the law, works hard, cares about his clients, and delivers results.

I was injured while on a short visit to Oakland. Not knowing what to do or who to call, I was referred by a friend to Ian Zimmerman. He & his office were very helpful in guiding me to determine if I had a case. They were all professional, thorough and efficient, which ultimately helped me to win my case. Ian was very knowledgeable and the outcome was beyond my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
If you're in a jam, if you're up against it, Ian is the kind of man you want on your side. I've known Ian for 15 years. Over those years I've been as impressed by the way he approaches his cases as I am with his success rate. Ian takes on the tough ones. He exercises excellent legal analysis, and is tireless in pursuing the very best approach for each case. He's a good listener. He's patient. He's thorough. His integrity is impeccable. He treats his clients, the court and the law with great respect. I cannot recommend Ian highly enough.
Compassion and toughness.
Ian Zimmerman will listen to you. He's patient, he's understanding.
And if he takes your case, he'll fight like a pit bull to get you what's fair.
He's smart, he know's the law. He wins cases.
Call him. It doesn't cost you anything to talk to him, you can decide for yourself if he's the right lawyer for you.
I have known Ian Zimmerman for more than 25 years as both a very good friend and a legal colleague. Ian is highly intelligent, determined, dedicated, charismatic, experienced, honest and simply just a great attorney. Terrific cross examiner. Impressive demeanor. He is not afraid to take on a tough case and is not afraid to take a tough case to trial. Juries love him. He wins cases that would otherwise seem unwinnable. He also achieves superior settlements. I am a personal injury attorney myself, yet I envy Ian's courage, creativity and skills. Ian fights passionately for his clients. Old school trial advocate for injured plaintiffs. New age sensibilities. A pit bull with the opposition, Ian at the same time is kind, ethical, thoughtful, patient and compassionate with his clients. Explains everything. I would not hesitate to have Ian Zimmerman represent me. Highest rating.
