Hit by a car!!!

I had heard of Zarzaur Law before I was hit by a car from behind, so when I thought of "What to do" the second day in the hospital, I texted an employee of Joe's...who immediatly contacted Joe. Everything was explained as the process proceeded, and I've not had a worry at all. Thanks Zarzaur Law TE...AM!!!

Joe is the man!!!

I hired Joe to take care of my issues after a wreck, what a great choice that was!! He and his team were very diligent, communicating everything I needed to know through-out my entire case. He is obviously super knowledgeable and impressively communicated all the complex issues of my case in a way I ...could understand! I would highly recommend and only use Zarzaur law firm from here on out, and would like to thank Joe one last time for dealing with this case in such a timely manner again. Impressive work by you and your entire team!!

Life Changing!

Joe Zarzaur and his team were the best firm we could have used after being in such a serious vehicle accident where a Sewage Tanker Truck hit us and fell on top of our car. They walked each step of this journey with us and even at times were an ear to let us vent to as the process can be overwhelmin...g. I was injured in the wreck and Joe and his team made sure that we were taken care of both medically and financially. We were not a number to them or a dollar sign, we were treated with such compassion and respect. They explained everything to us each step of the way and we did not have to settle for a low settlement, in fact they got us more than we had hoped for. They did all the fighting with the insurance company and we did not have to worry about anything. I am so grateful for Joe and his team. Someone told me that because it was a large firm we would never hear from Joe and they would not treat us like individuals. That was completely false. Joe was the first to call us and we talked with him personally through out the process. Yes, he has a team and the are highly professional. Jessica listened to me as I was in so much pain and stress and David fought hard and was so good during our mediation. We fully trusted him and glad we did as he got us more than we thought we would get.

Injury case

I called Joe when I was injured by a careless driver. As a former distance runner/triathlete, Joe’s name is well known for all he does for our community. Very professional staff & I highly recommend.

Litigation lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've seen Joe try two cases. I learn by watching. The last one I saw was a complicated products liability case involving catastrophic injuries, which lasted two weeks. Joe's closing argument was a seamless blend of law and fact, but what was truly remarkable about it was the way he was able to draw out and slowly build the intensity of the jury's sorrow and disgust. Or maybe it was just me... But the result was a 9.3 million dollar verdict for his client. Joe is a wizard in the courtroom. I could not proffer a higher endorsement of this attorney."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
