Doreen M. Zankowski

Excellent attorney. Diligent, thorough, and fantastic trial skills.

Outstanding attorney. Instilled confidence in our company and obtained great results.

I recommended Doreen to serve as the arbitrator appointed by my company. I observed Doreen on almost a daily basis for three weeks during the arbitration. Her conduct as an arbitrator unquestionably confirmed my selection recommendation. Doreen’s performance as an arbitrator impressed all that participated in the arbitration. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend Doreen both as counsel for a party in an engineering or construction dispute or as an arbitrator in any such dispute.

All lawyers have demonstrated knowledge of the law. Some lawyers have a specialty; a few of these lawyers are proficient at their specialty. Within the specialty, most know only the law, they lack an understanding of business, finance or how stringent contracts will impact a business; however a select few lawyers understand the complete dynamic. Doreen Zankowski is one of the select few.

I have used Doreen Zankowski as outside counsel for over tens years. In addition to her exceptional knowledge in a wide range of commercial and legal matters, Doreen is extremely responsive and ensures that her team is providing the best quality of service. Most importantly, she makes me look good and makes my job easy.

Doreen has been paramount in assisting Regis College to obtain successful results, in the best interest of the college, in the areas of drafting contracts, resolving disputes, project development, construction litigation and strategic planning on small and large scale projects. She also assisted in securing the renewal of a $10MM line of credit and obtaining $10MM in tax-exempt bonds through the Mass. Development Financing Agency for the expansion and renovations of the campus.

Doreen is an excellent attorney. She successfully handled a complex construction case with more than $20 million in claims for the City of Lawrence, MA, working on behalf of the school department. The results were outstanding.

Doreen is the General Counsel and Secretary of the Corinthian Yacht Club. She serves the CYC in addition to her full time duties as a partner in a Boston law firm, Hinckley Allen Snyder. Doreen is a terrific construction and real estate attorney. She understands and anticipates the needs of her clients. She is practical, focused, and extremely knowledgeable in her fields of expertise. She recently drafted and negotiated a complex construction contract for the CYC. She is terrific.

I have known Ms. Zankowski professionally for over 15 years, and have always found her to be above average in knowledge, responsiveness, and professionalism.
