Phenomenal Lawyer

John Zarych Office are exceptional at what they do. They provide a sense of security after you discuss your situation with them. I was about to enter the workforce with a felony under my record, but after several months of work, the felony had dropped. From steps A to Z, they provided the necessary g...uidance and communication to keep me updated. There is nothing negative I could say to the John Zarych Office and I appreciate everything they have done for me and my future.

Great Experience Working With Brenden

I am in the military and was facing a DUI charge. This would have meant detrimental impacts on the civilian side, as well as possibly losing my career. Brenden and Mr. Zarych sat down with me during my first meeting to review my situation and also inquire what they could do to assist me in the proc...eedings for the military side. They made it clear that they would do everything in their power to help me in this process and were some of the few people that treated me like a person, rather than someone who broke the law. Brenden was always available to speak and if he wasn't he would get back to me in a promptly manner. He was very patient with my questions and concerns and took them all into consideration. He even went as far as to explain to my family all the findings in regards to my case and catch them up to speed even though he did not have to. He was able to prove that I was not guilty of a DUI in court, which although helped my situation on the military side, it did not necessarily mean I was not going to lose my career. I explained this to Brenden, and in an extremely quick period of time, he had written a statement breaking down the findings of the prosecution and why I was found not guilty in court. He did not have to do that, but he did. Brenden truly went out of his way to prove my innocence and allowed me to save my career and move forward in my civilian life.

Excellent Attorney!

After our son was arrested on burglary and drug related charges we were panicked and distraught over how to select a lawyer, especially since we were out of state. We were fortunate enough to find Zarych law firm and upon the first call their attorney Brenden Shur, was at the jail meeting with our s...on within hours. From that day on and over the next 6 month Mr. Shur was just terrific to work with. He was extremely responsive to all of our calls, kept us up to date as the case progressed, took time to explain each process in detail, possible outcomes and what to expect in court. Ultimately he was able to get several charges dropped and got probation for our son instead of jail time! He was always very professional, honest, and demonstrated compassion thru the whole process especially as we were also dealing with rehabs to address our son’s drug issues. In addition, the administrative staff at the law firm was just as efficient and professional. We would highly recommend Zarych Law Firm and working directly with Brenden Shur. We could not have been more pleased with the results and we thank you and your staff Brenden for all that you have done and making this process as painless as possible!

Justice and Exemplary Representation

My son was beaten brutally by police officers. This is a very long story, however I'll keep it short. Mr. Brenden Shur is far above knowledgeable about court proceedings, review of materials, disputing testimony, professional representation and the consistent support of his client. We went thro...ugh 2 years of litigation and postponements and disputed charges. Mr. Shur of the Law Offices of John J. Zarych never waned from my son's insistence that he was wrongfully attacked and beaten by 3 police officers. Mr. Shur thoroughly investigated, was consistent with contacting witnesses, obtaining evidence and testimony and keeping my son informed of each step. His staff at the Law Offices of John J. Zarych were always available to answer questions and kept us informed of court dates and documents needed. All charges were dismissed. Mr. Shur is an excellent criminal attorney who will return calls, stay informed, investigate the situation to the fullest and follow through in Court. I can guarantee that you will receive the Best Defense possible and would Highly Recommend Mr. Brenden Shur and his firm's owner/colleague John Zarych. They are an exceptional Law Firm and we are lucky to have been referred to them.

Stuck with me for over TWO YEARS! Not Guilty on all charges.

I am extremely grateful for the above and beyond service that Brenden, Stefanie, John, and the rest of the office staff provided me with for over two years during my case, never once asking me for any additional funds or asking/recommending me to take any type of plea deal. I was originally charg...ed with some serious and completely false criminal offenses ranging from aggravated assault on a police office and resisting arrest, to a disorderly persons offense.... not to mention that I was brutally assaulted and beaten by the police in the process and taken to the emergency room after arrest. (hence their trumped up allegations against me). Throughout the whole process from my arrest to the final not guilty on all charges verdict over two years later, Brenden always kept me informed, positive minded, aware of why something was happening, and stayed extremely detailed in my case and my defense. We appeared in court OVER 20 times due to numerous prosecution and court postponements, obvious stalling on the states case, and the prosecutor even called in "sick" twice during my trial dates. All the while he kept fighting for me throughout where as most lawyers I am sure after that amount of time would begin to ask for more money from their client, or recommend taking a lower plea deal to speed up the process. He stayed diligent and even excited to go through a trial on my behalf. He never questioned my story, the facts, or ever showed one once of doubt in my innocence. John Zarych himself even showed up to my final verdict day to show his support, comforting my mother who could not stop crying as the judge recited the graphic facts that had been revealed during my case. I would recommend Brenden Shur and the office of John Zarych Law to ANYONE facing the simplest of traffic tickets ,to the most serious of offenses with the utmost confidence and assurance that they will fight for your case with attention to detail, enthusiasm, and care that they did mine. Thank you again for everything Brenden!

"Brenden and I worked together at a firm years ago. I had been working there for some time when he came aboard. We have both since moved on but have remained in touch. Brenden showed himself to be a fine lawyer immediately. He is aggressive with attention to detail and, most importantly, he genuinely cares about his clients, most of whom are facing very stressful circumstances. His goal is to achieve the best result possible and it shows. We are in the same practice area but I wholeheartedly endorse Brenden."
