Jeffrey Alan Zahler

I had my home raided because a roommate was smoking marijuana and my life came to an end when I was arrested a week later and charged with Felony Trafficking of Narcotics and Possession of an Assault Rifle during a Drug Trafficking crime, among a dozen other charges. I was just about to graduate from... Maryland and I was facing 46 years, and had all of my legally purchased firearms, and my substantial life savings ripped out of my safe and taken because the Gaithersburg Police had found an unlabeled prescription bottle of Adderall and a few other substances in the house, mostly in other people's rooms. I thought that best case scenario, I get 3 years even though I was innocent. While I cannot get too far into the details as of this review version, take my word that the scenario was really damning. That's when a friend referred me to Jeff, who people have always said to be your best shot at winning, especially if return of property is also sought. The moment I first met with Jeff (statutes in hand) and saw how completely prepared and confident he was, I felt like I my odds had changed for the better. He is Ultra dedicated to what he does and researches the laws far more thoroughly than any other attorney I have had and will blow holes in the arguments and strategies of the best Montgomery County prosecutors, immediately and directly calling them out on every slip up they make to hurt you, and also foreseeing the mistakes they will make that will help your case. Not only did he get the charges wiped out despite the shady maneuvering by the state (recharging me multiple times and changing the charges), but he had my property and all of the currency RETURNED TO ME by quickly putting up a wall against their civil forfeiture case. In more cases than this one, he has been an attorney that practically pays for himself in what he gets you back! But again, the most important thing to me and anyone charged is first to prevent prosecution and second to walk you through the legal gauntlet unscathed. For this, he was also terrific. Jeff took my calls no matter when and where and when I had a bench warrant for an unrelated traffic matter during this case and that attorney was not answering my calls, Jeff made calls and motions and had the warrant quashed in 24 hours so I didn't have to step foot in a jail. He will be handle your case very personally and literally come out to aid you in getting affidavit evidence, or receiving property in person, preventing the authorities from giving you the run-around! I know two other people who have been represented by Jeff, one of them also a Defense attorney, and all of whom walked. I agree with them that unlike other attorney's, like the ones who send you letters, Jeff doesn't look for pleas to take, he fights! I'm not sure how he would like me re-coining a phrase like 'Just Call Jeff' because he is such a professional, but if you have big charges and you want the best outcome, you will thank yourself for bringing his top-shelf representation.
