Excelente abogado

No podia encontrar el abogado adecuado que luchara por mis derechos o me diera buenos consejos. Estoy muy contenta con el asesoramiento que recibí del abogado Zachary Riyaz, me explico a detalle como funciona todo el proceso antes, durante y después de un divorcio. La mayoría de la gente no sabe que ...si su conyugue le debe dinero y esta obligación fue parte del acuerdo de liquidación, entonces se puede demandar para recuperar el dinero. Estoy muy agradecida con el Abogado Zachary.

Great Lawyer and Person

I went to Zachary to help fix all of the problems that my former incompetent lawyer botched up. Zachary was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and displayed a level of interest and personal care that the other lawyer did not. Additionally, Zachary was able to cite and apply law rules and terms to my... case like he was reading them right out of the law book. Zachary is also a good person. It is extremely obvious that he cares about his profession, the law, and his clients. AND..most of all, Zachary makes you feel comfortable and explains things in a way that a non-lawyer can understand. I highly recommend Zachary to anybody who is seeking an excellent lawyer and person.

Professional, honest and trustworthy

Mr. Riyaz is very professional and has a way of making a person feel completely at ease during a very difficult time in their life. I am very impressed with his skills, knowledge and experience in the divorce field. He immediately responds to emails and phone calls and is attentive to a client's co...ncerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
