McDonough, Patrick J.

The ability to communicate is essential in a trial attorney. Mr. Zimarowski has experience as both a criminal defense attorney and prosecutor. He has worked as an engineer, teacher, and researcher. He has published scholarly articles and taught legal topics at universities including West Virginia University and University of Notre Dame.

 Mr. Zimarowski is well known from the media accounts of his jury trials as the preeminent criminal defense attorney in North Central West Virginia. His criminal jury trials are noteworthy not only for their results but the high level of advocacy and technical command demonstrated insuring a fair trial and adherence to the rule of law.

 Martindale-Hubbell's peer rating for Mr. Zimarowski is an "AV" - the highest available at the "preeminent" level for legal ability and ethics.  Very few attorneys in Monongalia County have such a high peer rating.

Mr. Zimarowski brings years of experience, the ability to communicate effectively with both judges and laypersons, and credibility to the courtroom and legal process.
