As a law clerk, Mr. Zamora learned the ins and outs of auto accident cases and slip-and-fall cases. These experiences would shape the attorney Victor Zamora would become.
After graduating and obtaining his Juris Doctor, Mr. Zamora sat for the Florida Bar exam and was admitted on first attempt. Having been inspired and motivated by his experienced as a Certified Legal Intern for the State Attorney’s Office in Orange County, Mr. Zamora was granted a position at the State Attorney’s Office for Hillsborough County.

As an associate attorney for Cole, Scott & Kissane, P.A., Mr. Zamora oversaw the defense of many different personal injury cases, ranging from auto and trucking accidents and slip-and-fall cases to negligent security cases involving shootings and criminal offenses. Through this experience, Mr. Zamora was able to get an inside look into the relationship between insurance companies and their insureds, which can make all the difference in litigating and settling important cases.
