Z&F Overview

The law firm of Zuckerman & Fisher is located in Princeton, New Jersey along Carnegie Lake and the Millstone River. Its office is in an historic nineteenth century home which has been completely renovated and converted to office space. The location provides a calm environment in which attorney and client may meet and work to resolve troublesome situations.

Zuckerman & Fisher was formed in 1997 by Elizabeth Zuckerman and George Fisher because they saw the need, particularly in Central New Jersey, for a law firm willing and able to represent the interests of employees on workplace issues of vital importance to them. Since then, the firm has focused on addressing, and redressing, inequities in the workplace . That focus encompasses but is not limited to negotiation of employment agreements; review and negotiation of severance agreements; representation in matters of civil rights, discrimination, harassment, hostile working conditions, wrongful termination, and whistle-blowing; and, when necessary, litigation. Additionally, the firm has undertaken to assist clergy in matters of church/canon law. In all areas of practice, its attorneys appear before all New Jersey state and federal courts.

Zuckerman & Fisher has as its goals:

• Provision of competent and efficient legal advice and services at a reasonable cost to its clients (in many situations, the firm is willing to work for the client on a contingent fee basis, an arrangement in which the firm is paid for its services only in the event a recovery is obtained for the client);
  
  
• Personal attention to its clients that may often be lacking from a larger law firm, especially one which otherwise represents corporations and employers;
  
  
• Satisfied clients.

The firm encourages its attorneys to become involved in their communities, in professional associations, and in volunteer non-profit activities. When able to do so, it also on occasion provides legal services without charge (or at reduced rates) to clients with important and meritorious claims who would find it difficult to bear the normal costs of legal representation.
