Zwerdling, Oppleman & Adams

I called their office to ask about payments I need to make to them, while I was on the phone with one of their receptionist she made a comment about the case being dropped against my late husband because “we can’t sue a dead guy” My husband was murdered 3 weeks ago. This was one of the most insensitive comments that I have ever gotten during this extremely hard time. And when I reached out to one of the lawyers in the office, I was told “Sorry IF YOU FELT the comment was insensitive.” It’s not what I feel, IT IS insensitive. This is one of the worst experiences I e ever had with any firm but also one I will most definitely remember unfortunately.

Jeff handled one of my reckless driving charges years ago. He was incredibly cocky claiming that he knew all the judges and prosecutors and it would be an easy case. He showed me his wall of "thank you" letters then said give me $1000. He overcharged me as an ignorant young adult. I had no communication till maybe a week before the court date and jeff said he knew the prosecutor and we could make a deal if i do 20 hours of community service. In that short time i take off work, I do the service hours, and the court date arrives, no Jeff oppleman. His paralegal shows up and said "I'm sorry Jeff's wife had an emergency I'm your council". I waited in court for an hour plus till my name was called and the paralegal that had no idea what she was doing said "his lawyer isn't here". The judge, the prosecutor and the officer were beyond pissed and said you should have told us that an hour ago. I came back to the continuation, months later, different prosecutor, she wanted to throw the book at me. I spent a weekend in jail and i have a convicted misdemeanor for 1 over reckless. I heard all the other lawyers laughing that I had hired jeff. He is a joke in the henrico court room DO NOT HIRE HIM

We cannot say enough about this wonderful firm. Our family has been working with Jeff Oppelman for years and now with Blake Gayle and their wonderful Paralegal Jenny. They have handled many issues for us with professionalism and efficiency. They always achieve the best possible results for us while making us feel comfortable and well informed. We highly recommend this firm for all legal issues. Thanks to them all.

Working w/ Attorney Oppleman was an amazing experience. I had previously worked w/an attorney w/ which, in working w/ Atty Oppleman, was found of malpractice. He won my case and in addition won me extra due to the malpractice. My parents are now considering retaining him. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any and every thing. He is compassionate and very forthcoming w/what’s to be expected. He quickly gained my trust and I don’t regret it one bit. If I were to ever need to be represented he would be my first choice. I have found my forever attorney. Look no further… you’ve found yours too.

Jeff Oppleman has been my sons attorney since he first had trouble over 10 years ago. I’m so grateful for the hard work he’s done and the personal professional interest he’s taken in each case. As a parent I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer for my son. Over the years and countless dealings with the courts Jeff has never once turned us away. He’s worked with us with payment plans, with dates, and always knew what was needed in order to benefit the outcome. He has never given up on my son and kept him from serving what could have been many years of jail time over the years. I’m so grateful. He genuinely cared and genuinely wants the best for my son. He never sugar coated things but was straight forward, confident and firm with my son. He will fight and I would recommend him to anyone for any kind of case. He’s never let us down. I thank God he was recommended to us many years ago !
