Amy Zeman

Amy’s tenacious trial advocacy in class actions and mass torts ensures her clients’ voices are heard and respected. She led a multi-million dollar Ponzi Scheme class action through a four week trial against Umpqua Bank, ultimately securing a $55 million settlement on behalf of defrauded investors. Amy also achieved a $14.975 million dollar jury verdict as co-lead trial counsel on behalf of Pacific Fertility Center patients whose genetic material was destroyed in a catastrophic cryo-preservation tank failure; the Washington Post hailed the outcome as “a historic verdict.” And Amy’s work led to a $73 million settlement from UCLA on behalf of sexual assault survivors who brought claims against gynecologist Dr. James Heaps. Her tenacious style has delivered outstanding results and justice to consumers, victims of personal injuries, and sexual assault survivors in class action and mass tort litigation.

Lawdragon has selected Amy to both its Leading Plaintiffs Consumer Lawyer and Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers lists for 2025, and she was previously honored as one of the Top Women Lawyers in California for 2023 by Daily Journal.
