Guiding Principles

Results at a Higher Standard™

Integrity
In all our work, we interact with people. We comport ourselves with the utmost integrity, always exhibiting respect for our clients, the courts and all parties involved. This respect for those we serve and towards those with whom we work has earned Zimmer Kunz a positive reputation within the legal community. This reputation now precedes us and we steadfastly uphold it every day and in everything we do – we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Our behavior delivers other dividends: the outcomes of our clients’ matters benefit from our relationships and internally, we pride ourselves on the long tenure of our staff, many of whom have been employed here since the firm opened its doors in 1988.

Community
Over one third of our attorneys participate as mentors, role models, coaches and instructors in the community. Our people serve on boards and commissions in their local municipalities, school districts, YMCAs, United Ways and local affiliates of national charities. They manage little league teams, run youth sports programs, coach soccer and support the arts. They ride bicycles, run races, walk and bowl to support charitable causes. When not supporting causes, our attorneys can also be found in the classroom, sharing their knowledge and experience with tomorrow’s litigators. We believe full, balanced lives with interests outside of work improves our perspective and enhances our ability to serve our client’s interests well.

Independence
As a private, member-owned firm, our focus remains on providing value to our clients through the legal solutions we provide, not a financial quota that promotes unnecessary staffing structure or billings that are not aligned with the matter at hand. This independence permits us to create matter-specific solutions and a flexibility to work in a manner that best suits the client. Most importantly, we have the judgment to properly evaluate cases and secure fair, negotiated settlements when appropriate. We also have the confidence and skill to know when to say “no” and to try a case to verdict. It is these qualities that give us credibility with clients, judges and opposing counsel.
