About

I received my undergraduate degree in English Literature (cum laude, 1979) from Indiana University. I graduated in the top third of my class from the Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington, in 1982. In the same year I became licensed to practice in Arizona, where I worked in Flagstaff, and Phoenix, for a small firm. I later left the firm to work in the State District Attorney's office.

I was the Deputy Prosecutor in the Maricopa County Attorney's office in Phoenix.
In 1988, I became licensed to practice in California, where I worked for a series of law firms. In 1995, I leaned on my experience as a business lawyer to start my law own firm, Patrick D. Zimski Attorney at Law. Today, I offer practical cost-effective services to clients from all over the state, including Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and the entire East Bay, San Francisco, San Jose, the South Bay, and Oakland, California. I also am licensed in federal courts in Arizona and California.
I have been happily married for more than 20 years. We have raised two beautiful daughters, ages 22 and 17. In addition to spending time with my family, I also enjoy road cycling, history, politics, and travel.
