I am writing today to recommend Mr. Robert A. Zielke, J.D., AIF®. In my capacity as his long-term professional associate in multiple arenas, I have had extensive opportunity to observe and verify the utmost competence and quality of his work, his impeccable character, his trustworthiness, his professionalism, his reliability and fulfillment of commitments, and his genuine care of and loyalty to those he serves.

I served two terms as the Washington State Insurance Commissioner (1993-2001). I ran this large professional state agency with a $30 million annual budget and approximately 200 professional staff. Additionally, I am an Attorney at Law and a Professor of Healthcare Law at Loyola University of Chicago School of Law Beazley Health Institute. The Beazley Health Institute’s online program is ranked third in the U.S. Thus, I have known and dealt with a multitude of professionals and people from all walks of life. Mr. Zielke has consistently stood out, both as being at the top of his professional fields, and as a person of the highest character and trustworthiness. In fact, I elected to join him and The Zielke Law Firm, P.S.1 when I entered private practice after my career as Insurance Commissioner and other public service. That is clearly the highest recommendation that I can provide.

I strongly recommend Mr. Robert A. Zielke, J.D., AIF® both as a person and in his professional practice as a Financial Steward, Professional Trustee, Fiduciary, and Attorney at Law2. Having worked closely and directly with Mr. Zielke for over a decade, and having known him for over 25 years, Mr. Zielke maintains the highest standards of integrity, trustworthiness, honesty, and ethics. He has professionalism, skill, and ability, yet is friendly, kind, and approachable. Mr. Zielke cares about each individual client and beneficiary he serves, and truly understands his fiduciary role to put each person’s unique interests at the top of the list – consistently above his own interests. He can be counted upon to do the right thing in his professional decision-making.

Mr. Zielke brings to each client and beneficiary his extensive and unique background as a Financial Steward, Professional Trustee, Attorney at Law2, and as a former healthcare provider, having formerly been a practicing Anesthetist (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist – CRNA) and a Registered Nurse. It is amazing that he brings all of this depth to each client and each beneficiary that he serves. I always find Mr. Zielke to be the professional person that I want and trust to be on my side, and on my team, dealing with my specific goals and challenges.
