Joshua Zisson

Joshua Zisson is a founding partner at Zisson & Jacobs LLP in Boston and a nationally recognized advocate for injured cyclists. Since launching his law practice in 2010, he has focused on protecting the rights of a community often ignored in legal circles—bicyclists. He brings over a decade of experience in personal injury law and a deep understanding of local and national traffic laws to every case. Whether representing injured riders or those seeking reimbursement for damaged equipment or medical expenses, Zisson is committed to fair and accessible legal help.

Zisson earned his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in Boston, Massachusetts. He also holds a B.A. in English from the University of Iowa.

Zisson’s career is rooted in a strong sense of community and purpose. As a cyclist himself, he understands firsthand the challenges and risks riders face daily. His legal work reflects that connection, going beyond traditional representation to include assistance with claims that many firms would not accept, such as helping cyclists recover out-of-pocket bike repair costs or minor medical bills, often at no charge.

Zisson has become a go-to voice on bike law through his blog, Bike Safe Boston, where he educates the public on bicycle safety, legal rights, and evolving traffic regulations. In 2023, he was recognized by Super Lawyers for his dedication and success.

Joshua Zisson’s philosophy is simple: everyone deserves to be heard, regardless of the size of their injury. Through compassion, deep legal knowledge, and community awareness, he ensures that cyclists receive the representation and justice they deserve. His work continues to make Boston a safer, more cyclist-friendly city.
