The advice I received from this law firm was spot on. Attorney Michael Brown assisted me through my worst days. For this reason, I highly recommend the Ziff Law Firm.

At first I was a bit apprehensive using a firm that wasn’t local, but as I spoke to Mr. Reed and his staff I realized I was in good hands! Every time I needed reassurance and every time I had questions, either Mr. Reed or Karen always responded to me in a timely fashion. All of the staff treated me with respect, patience and friendliness no matter how many times I called or emailed. What a class act!

They were upfront with me from the beginning and I was thankful that they went the extra mile at the end and were able to get a higher settlement than what was originally expected from the insurance company.

I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs a good attorney. Distance no longer dictates of who we select to represent us! Now a days since we can buy a car out state so finding a great attorney outside of our living area who is knowledgable and caring shouldn’t stop us either.

Attorney Jim Reed and the staff at the Ziff Law Firm are the greatest people to have on your side. I was in a severe rear-ending collision that eventually put me in the hospital for four separate back surgeries. This was a very emotional event in my life and Jim and the staff became a family that works hard to help you out in time of need. My wife and I went through some hard times and had many questions along the way that they answered quickly and with confidence. Jim was always there to help no matter when I needed him. Jim and the Ziff Law Firm handled everything for us throughout this experience. Because of surgeries and physical therapy, I was terminated from work and could not pay bills. After Jim acquired a sizable settlement they took care of paying our debaters, and made sure, we had a good investment for our future. Jim is a real hard working, concerned, passionate, and dedicated attorney. My wife and family are very grateful to have Jim Reed and the people at the Ziff Law Firm working for us. We cannot thank them enough and highly recommend them to anybody without hesitation.

Jim and his team far exceeded our expectations. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation where you need the services of a law firm to help you, we recommend Jim and the Ziff team, without reservation. They treated us like family and are exceptionally competent. Jim and his team took all of the legal concerns off our plate, enabling my husband to focus on his recovery. We never felt like a number, we always felt like the most importnat client they had and always had full confidence in their abilities and advice.

Jim Reed helped my family and me with extraordinary representation, but also with a level of compassion that told us that he really cares. I highly recommend Jim Reed and the folks at Ziff Law.

In January of 2018 I was involved in a rear-end collision, which resulted in the need to have extensive back surgery. I hired Jim Reed at the Ziff Law Firm to represent me and deal with the insurance companies, knowing that I would be in the most capable hands, no matter how long or difficult the case would become.

Jim is a highly skilled, result-oriented attorney that is extremely well respected in the legal community. He, and his Paralegal, Karen, worked efficiently to compile the evidence needed for my claim and was victorious in obtaining a swift and successful settlement for me.

Choosing Jim, and the Ziff firm for my case was the best decision I could have made, and highly recommend him and his team should the need arise for an excellent and reputable attorney and firm.

Was looking to stay local as they say local lawyers, big city results. After consulting with them, I immediately felt as though they weren't big city, or the go getter type of la firm I am used to in Albany. Usually firms that claim stuff like this are like a bag of chips full of air and very little product, so I am glad I did not disappoint myself. That's a pic of the person I spoke with.

Counter point........I've noticed that this law firm responded to several reviews stating they had no record of them and that they believed the review to be fake. This is not a fake review and I just want people to know that the reason they might not have records of these people is....they never took the case. That happened with us. Many years ago my wife was shot in the wrist by teenagers in a house, shooting at cars, and they 'accidentally' missed the cars and hit my wife. We went to this law firm asking if they'd represent her. We were told despite, the fact she still had the pellet lodged her in wrist, and was waiting for surgery to remove it that.......we most certainly had a case but 'they' (meaning this law firm) wouldn't make enough money on the case to warrant them taking it. Oddly enough the one teenager who was the most responsible for this incident not six months later assaulted an old lady, in broad daylight, at the Jubilee plaza.

Jim is one of the great upstate personal injury lawyers. His knowledge is deep, his heart is big, and his passion is strong. He is equally well respected by defense lawyers and fellow plaintiff lawyers. He is also one of the most ethical lawyers I have had the privilege of knowing.

My 10 year old son was involved in a hit and run accident while innocently riding his bike in our neighborhood. Thankfully he was not seriously injured but we still needed legal advice. We were connected to Jim Reed at Ziff Law through an organization called Bike Law, an independent national network of bicycle crash attorneys. Jim was awesome! He was incredibly responsive, clearly knowledgeable, and so very nice. Once the driver was identified and charged, Jim helped us navigate the legal system to ensure justice was served. And, on the insurance side, Jim helped us negotiate a fair settlement. I am certain the outcomes would not have been as favorable without Jim’s advocacy. Thank you Jim! And thank you Bike Law!

Very professional, courteous, and aggressive personal injury lawyers.

Great team here who really cares about there people !

James Reed is a hardworking lawyer who represented me in an automobile injury lawsuit and secured a generous settlement on my behalf. I highly recommend him and his law firm.

If you need an attorney that will go to bat and get the best possible result for you, Jim Reed is your guy! Jim and his awesome paralegal Karen made me feel at ease and that my situation was a priority to them. I put my complete faith and trust in Jim's abilities and I was not disappointed. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim Reed to anyone looking for a wonderful attorney.
Thank you so much for everything you did for me.

Great lawyers great ppl thank you

Jim Reed is an honest, hard working and caring individual. I have known him for 15 years and have seen countless examples of his efforts helping his clients. As an insurance agent I have worked with Jim educating people on the importance of carrying proper insurance limits. We have taught classes together on understanding auto and motorcycle insurance coverages.
Jim and the entire Ziff Law Firm are solid community partners who sponsor numerous events and causes. It is especially commedable to see them recognize the "Military Veteran of the Game" at each Elmira Jackals home game.
