The attorneys at Zoll, Kranz and Borgess, LLC are civil trial lawyers. As civil trial lawyers we believe in the right of ordinary Americans to seek redress for injury to their person, property, or business, to work in safe workplaces free from discrimination or harassment, to be safe from dangerous products, and to receive quality health care from competent providers. We believe that justice belongs to all, regardless of whether the client is a child negligently injured during birth or a large business whose proprietary trade secrets have been wrongfully taken.

   In light of this philosophy, we have significant experience in handling a broad spectrum of claims including Dangerous Drugs, Medical Devices & Consumer Products (MDL/Mass Tort), Antitrust Litigation, Personal Injury/Wrongful Death, Product Liability, Professional Malpractice, ERISA/Securities, Construction Law, Municipal Law,  Airport Noise/Nuisance and Employment Law.

We represent individuals, as well as a wide variety of municipalities and businesses, including those working in the construction trades. Regardless of whether we are handling an automobile accident claim or a complex multimillion dollar national class action, our approach to every case is based on the same three Aristotelian principles of advocacy: ethos, pathos, logs – ethics and character, passion, logic. Each case demands and deserves our utmost attention and advocacy.

   Although the courtroom is our natural arena, we also regularly advise clients on how to avoid missteps leading to litigation, and offer considerable familiarity with the processes of arbitration and mediation as alternative and cost-saving means for resolving disputes.

I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.

Thomas Jefferson (1788)

Trial by jury in civil cases is as essential to secure the liberty of the people as any of the pre-existent rights of nature.

James Madison (1789)

Without the trial by jury we have no way to keep us from being ridden like horses, fleeced like sheep, fed like swine and clothed like hounds. 

John Adams

Woe to those who enact unjust statutes and who write oppressive decrees, depriving the needy of judgment and robbing my people’s poor of their rights, making widows their plunder and orphans their prey.
