I consider Dan Zimberoff a "princeps" (one that is first among equals!) among attorneys for his 1) exemplary knowledge of homeowner law, 2) resoluteness in timely case processing, and 3) depth of sensitivity for the feelings of his clients. My case involved HOA issues of special needs, on behalf of myself, and my working registered service dog. Dan has inordinate knowledge of federal and state laws pertaining to the American Disabilities Act, Fair Labor, Housing, and Employment laws; further, he is keenly knowledgeable of the application of the protections provided by these laws in cooperative community living complexes. He steadfastly pursued our case maintaining a reasonable and considerate time frame for resolution, and with deepest sensitivity of the emotional turmoil this happening inflicted on us. He walked this path in my life every step of the way, unfailingly available to every email and phone call of concerns. Dan is simply, again, a "princeps" in his legal field.

Dan is amazing. Smart, kind and the rare qaulity of being able to listen. He has integrity and great follow through. I am so glad to have found an attorney with these qauilties.

I live in San Diego and am a director on the board of an Association related to a rental property I own in Dana Point. I was drawn to Dan after reviewing a variety of websites given there was a hint of a grounded human side to him (interests/background in his bio), in addition to his interesting experience, background and pleasing general website tone.
I was in need of hiring a personal counsel for guidance and peace of mind related to what I believed were unfair allegations made against me by our Association counsel. Upon meeting Dan, I sincerely appreciated his initial recommendations where he was clearly thinking of me and my well being vs. what would have been better for his revenue take. (That alone speaks volumes about his person and practice) He was respectful, careful and efficient at all times both to me and in all correspondences to others. It was a pleasure to have met him and he will be the first person I inquire with and retain for any future pertinent issues.
A good attorney represents you well in court, an exceptional attorney keeps you out of court. Dan is the epitome of an exceptional attorney.
I was referred to Dan by a trusted friend and from my first contact with him, I was impressed. We had an informal meeting in which he provided insights and guidance that gave me proactive steps to resolve the issue. He edited my correspondence to the other party's attorney and reaffirmed my position so when I went into dispute resolution I was fully prepared to present my own case - all without ever charging me for his time.
Needless to say, I am happy with the result and would recommend Dan without hesitation.

Dan was great from beginning to end with my situation. My HOA was unreasonable with an architectural denial and would not budge. Dan advocated for me and my family and was able to get our application approved. I am sure that we would not have gotten a positive result without him. Dan is knowledgeable and cares about his clients. I recommend him full stop.

We found Dan Zimberoff to be well prepared, professional and a worthy adversary. Dan did not give up until we reached the settlement that we wanted. Most importantly the client comes first with Dan.

Dan was amazing, I had an issue with my HOA and Dan was more than helpful. The HOA was being extremely difficult and Dan was able to communicate my concerns, along with the need for immediate action. The issue was able to be resolved swiftly within my favor based on Dan's negotiations. I would recommend Dan to anyone experiencing any issues with their HOA, as Dan came highly recommended from another attorney and completely went above and beyond. If I have to use another attorney regarding HOA issues, or anything in his field for that matter, Dan would be my first and only call.

Dan helped me out from beginning to end. Nothing was too small or too big for Dan to address and based on my circumstances I feel I came out a winner and I would refer Dan to any family member, friend or associate. He is fair with his prices and very knowlegable and personable and available when you least expect it. I trusted Dan from the beginning and he did not fail me.

I met with Dan earlier today, I was thoroughly impressed by his character. He is a business person that puts the client first and actively listens. These characteristics were evident throughout our entire interaction. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Dan is knowledgeable, friendly, caring and love to help. He is the type of lawyer who cares about people first. He consulted me on one of our issue and he did not ask for any compensation. He is an unicorn in attorney world. Consider yourself lucky if you have a chance to work with him and his firm.

In a world where everyone talks about fees before even listening to your case, Dan was an ANGEL. He came to our rescue at a very stressful time for me and my family, and gave such timely, professional and correct advice that it was like a heavenly response from above... I am so happy to see such kind people exist; that actually care about the client and their problems, versus thinking how much they can start charging people at a time of despair. THANK YOU DAN! I wish all the success in the world!

Dan Zimberoff has been the most delightful and effective attorney with whom I've had the pleasure to work. I have an association management firm and deal with many, many association attorneys, very few of whom I would recommend and none of whom I would recommend as highly as Dan!
I've not met any other attorney quite as capable and deft with dealing with residents, along with an overall legal expertise that is bar none. As well as serving as general counsel for a mutual client, Dan guided us through the very technical passing of a large remediation project and $10M special assessment, and he deflected the frustration and hostility from homeowners in ways none of us were in a position to do or capable of.
My most genuine attempt would not adequately express the amount of respect I have for Dan Zimberoff's expertise and ability as an association attorney.

I highly recommend Dan Zimberoff. He helped our Condo association resolved a complicated case with the builder and his insurance companies. At each step along the long way was he able to handle multiple stakeholders and worked with us patiently. Dan is thorough and professional and one of the best in the business. Without a doubt highly recommended.

Attorney Dan Zimberoff was responsive, easy to work with, aggressive and results driven. I would recommend him to both friends and family. His knowledge proved to provide security for the case and reimbursement at the end.

As Board President, I worked with Dan for 14 years as he served as the General Counsel to our large HOA. Dan was absolutely fantastic. Responsive, professional, knowledgeable, understanding and most of all effective. He gave us great advice and guidance and kept us out of trouble and out of court. And he was able to do this and still show us how to have a very effective HOA, navigating our guiding documents and state law while developing one of the best communities in the area.
Don't hesitate to work with Dan, you will be pleased!
