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!!!

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.

Excellent Experience

I hired Joe Zarzaur following a bicycle accident. He was very prompt working on my case to get me the best outcome. His staff kept me informed throughout the process of what to expect and where we were with the case. I am very satisfied with the outcome.

Posted by Brandi | June 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Where to start? He's Amazing.

We lost our only son in a car accident. Joe Zarzaur from Zarzaur Law represented us. It's difficult to think about where to begin, he did so much. We could reach him anytime. I would get calls returned from him on his personal time. The communication meant the world to us, as this was the most diffic...ult time in our lives and he made sure we understood what to expect to happen with the case. We were always informed on everything. We never felt like we could ask him a dumb question. Joe was both kind and understanding. You could just tell that he really wanted to help us, and that he really felt compassion for us going through our situation. We weren't just another client to Joe. We also felt 100% confident in his legal abilities. If we were to go to trial, we knew Joe was going to chew up the defense. He was dotting his i's and crossing his t's because no matter what came up, he was handling the situation by holding the driver who caused the car accident accountable. Joe is willing to do the best he can for you. He came into our lives because of an immense tragedy. But he was able to help us through it as much as he could from the legal perspective - and caring for us. He's a very sincere individual and all of the other personnel in the office that helped us on the case in the firm are the same way - just as compassionate. If you go with Zarzaur Law, you are making a very good choice.

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."
