About George

At Ripplinger & Zimmer, L.L.C., we understand that our clients come to us in need. When personal injury or some other legal difficulty strikes, there can be a sense of helplessness. It can feel as though you have lost control of your life.

Serious injuries can require years to recover from. Extensive medical care is likely to be needed. Emergency medical care, reconstructive surgery and physical rehabilitation may all be part of the treatment that is needed after serious personal injury strikes. Having a skilled attorney representing your interests is often the best way to ensure that you have the financial resources necessary to maintain access to the best available medical care.

Call to schedule your initial consultation to discuss your potential case today.
