In 1988, after practicing law in a large law firm for eleven years, David W. Zoll started a solo practice on West Central Avenue, in Sylvania Township, which grew to the present law firm of Zoll, Kranz and Borgess.  From the beginning Zoll strove to define himself and his firm by certain values.  The firm is based upon the value of Integrity, the qualities of intelligence, passion and sincerity, and the power of setting and attaining worthwhile personal and professional goals.

Integrity

   Integrity means a soundness of moral principle which no power or influence can impair.  It connotes wholeness, completeness and rectitude.  Integrity means that all persons are equal before the law; that we all are subject to the law, and that the framework of the law can and must be used to prevent and resolve the disputes of our clients.

   Integrity requires that each attorney commit to represent his or her clients with passion, logic, and ethics.

   Integrity requires that each employee and attorney have the ability and motivation to attain his or her full potential.

   Integrity requires that the law firm maintain systems, facilities and personnel to efficiently and effectively deliver the highest quality of legal services.

   Integrity requires that each attorney know the law, believe in the client, and prepare each case with diligence.

   The practice of law consistent with the value of integrity and the power of setting and accomplishing goals generates its own generous rewards.  Those rewards include the development of a reputation for fairness and hard work, the referral of interesting and remunerative cases by other professionals and former clients, and the establishment of that credibility essential for success before tribunals.

Each attorney and employee of the firm is expected to subscribe to these principles:

  • Success is the realization of worthwhile personal and professional goals, premised on a system of predetermined values.

  • Integrity is and shall remain the cornerstone of the practice.

  • Each case shall be prepared with diligence, with a belief in the client, and with full knowledge of the law (both as it is and as it should be).

Intelligence

   The firm takes a team approach in resolving its clients’ disputes.  We are committed to working for each client with unequaled intelligence, passion and sincerity.

To be Intelligent in the practice of law is to:

  • Constantly study the law, using technological tools to maintain an awareness of trends and developments.

  • Seek opportunities to teach what we know about the law to clients and other attorneys.

  • Associate with people, organizations and situations in which learning and growth are required.

  • Require learning and growth of those around us.

  • Be prepared, always.

  • Take advantage of every resource that can improve the quality of what we do.

Sincerity

To be sincere in the practice of law is to:

  • Take only those cases where the cause of the client is just and the client is willing to be completely honest.

  • Adhere to the highest standards of moral and ethical behavior, in personal as well as professional life.

  • Have a servant’s heart.  In other words, be public spirited and service minded.

Passion

To be Passionate about the law is to:

  • Be enthusiastic.

  • Love the law and the practice of the law.

  • Love working with the people on the team with whom we practice law.
