A Track Record Built on Results, Not Promises
Numbers tell the story better than marketing language does. Since our founding, CZ Law has secured verdicts and settlements including $131 million for a car accident case, $74.5 million in a birth injury claim, and $45 million in a wrongful death matter involving a drunk driver. These results reflect a firm willing to invest the time, resources, and litigation expertise required to hold negligent parties fully accountable — the same standard we bring to every Bakersfield client, regardless of case size.
Here's what sets us apart:
- No fees unless we win. Every case is handled on a contingency basis, so there's no financial barrier to getting experienced representation.
- Available around the clock. Accidents don't wait for business hours, and neither do we — our team offers 24/7 free case evaluations.
- Statewide resources, local attention. As part of a firm with offices across California and in Washington, Bakersfield clients get the backing of a large, well-resourced practice without losing the personal attention of a dedicated legal team.
- A trial-ready reputation. Insurance companies know which firms are willing to litigate. That reputation alone often leads to better settlement offers before a case ever reaches a courtroom.

My car was rear ended, aggravating a bulging disc. Carpenter & Zuckerman set up all my doctor appointments and paid for everything up front. They were able to get me a settlement for both my injury case and property damage case. I am very happy with the way they handled my case.- Ben A.
