I was recently engaged the service of Atty David Zipfel & Associates, LLC to handle a long and complicated automobile acute accident injury claim. Atty Zipfel & Associates worked with patience and determination for over 2 years to achieve a very satisfactory outcome. At this same time, he and his staff was friendly and caring, which greatly reduced the stress of the process. I highly recommend David and his staff.
Owner response
Helena, we truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback. It means a lot that our support made a difference during a challenging process. It was a pleasure to represent you throughout the case. We wish you all the best for good health in the future.
I have worked with David and Donna for over 20 years. They have been an incredible resource—not only for my real estate business, but also for personal matters and for my family. Their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care have always stood out. I truly appreciate everything they have done for us over the years.
Thanks to both of you and your office staff. You have made life a little easier to navigate.

Zipfel and associates are extremely knowledgeable and very professional. I personal have been using them for 20+ years and have been very satisfied. I would recommend for all your legal needs.
Owner response
We're grateful for your long-term trust and recommendation. Thank you for recognizing our team's professionalism and legal expertise over the years.
I had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. Communication was poor, and I was given information that later turned out not to be accurate. I felt misled about how my case was being handled and how the settlement was explained to me. After everything was finalized, I was left with serious concerns about the money invalved and whether everything was properly disclosed. When I asked questions, I did not receive clear or honest answers, which only added to my frustration.
In my opinion, transparency and trust are critical when dealing with something as serious as a car accident case, and I did not feel I received that here. I would not recommend this firm based on my experience. Donna understands this review regardless of what their response will be.Another lie! How is it that I know Donna? Why would I make this up? This should prove to anyone that they are willing to lie. Fair warning.
Owner response
Elijah Redd is not and has never been a client of this office.
They know their stuff; the client as a person, the value of a case. They are prepared and know how far to push for a fair and favorable result. Donna was beast, no one pushes her around! If you need a law firm to go to bat for you I highly and will always recommend David and Donna They won't settle for less!
This firm was one of the worst experiences in my adult life. I was treated with no respect my David zipfel. I don’t know who this guy thinks he is but when you work for someone as an attorney, you should appreciate the opportunity to 1. make money & 2. Defend that person.
I do not recommend this firm for any black or brown people.
I am not surprised that Mr. Zipfel Would attempt to lie in reference to our communication. Mr. Zipfel took a case of mine for a Masarati $150,000, In which he did not communicate on specifics,
When I would reach out to his office, I would not get any return phone calls
I had to file a complaint in which Donna reprimanded her front desk staff.
Mr. Zipfel is a liar and I will be sending a cease desist to your office.
I am currently represented by John Shapiro law firm for business, I am represented by Grady and Riley for personal matters. It is a common thing for me to deal with attorneys what is not common for them to be disrespectful?
If you had a good experiencing with them that wasn’t anomaly in addition to the fact that people change
Owner response
Cornelius Phillips was a client for a very short period of time. He insisted I take on a car accident case, even though he was found to be at fault for the accident by the investigating police officer. I declined to take on his case. My decision had nothing to do with his skin color. He was insistent and would not take "no" for an answer. Now, he posts a review and libels me with his suggestion that he was discriminated against and mistreated. During a conversation with my receptionist, he addressed her as "Hey, stupid". We have also been informed that he has posted other reviews on-line of other companies which were negative and claimed discrimination.
I have worked with Donna and Dave for about 20 + years. They will go the extra mile for you, your family on what ever legal situation you bring them. Call them for a consultation today.
Owner response
We appreciate your long-term relationship with Donna and Dave and your acknowledgment of their dedication to handling various legal situations diligently.
Dave Zipfel handles tough cases not just the easier car accident cases which he does very well. He is representing my wife in a very nasty case where people lied to get her arrested. This week , Dave had the criminal case dismissed and next , he intends to make those people who lied about my wife pay for the crime they committed against her. Dave is the guy I trust to fight for me and my family. You should too ! He is the real deal.
Dave has represented me in a workers compensation case. I Watched Dave take on the insurance company and aggressively pursuit and protected all my interest. I will refer anyone I can to him and I appreciate all the good work he has done and is still doing for me! Thanks
Owner response
Thank you, Jeffrey for your confidence in us. We appreciate having the opportunity to represent you in your case and will continue to fight for you to accomplish the best outcome for you and your situation. Have a great day.
My name is Cedric Newman. I have been a client of David Zipfels for several years. I am also a black man and a retired US Marine. Dave has handled my cases with professionalism respect and success. I have confidence in him to the point where I have referred other people I know who are also people of color to his office for help. No one has ever complained. As a matter of fact I just called his office earlier this week just asking for advice for a friend of mine on another type of case which was not a personal injury case and even though they did not handle the kind of case my friend needed help with they took the time to help me find the name and phone number of a local attorney who could help my friend. My friend is now scheduled to see that attorney for her case. Dave and his staff helped me and my friend even though it is not something they would get paid for or benefit from. SEMPER FI to David!
