Alonzo Houff Zahour

i have used Alonzo for a lot of reasons and i trust him. he gives it to you just like it is no games. he helps you above all else he treats you like a person. i will always use him for my matters. Alonzo works in many different areas as well . call him today and he can help you . he has been my lawye...r for about 20 years.

Not only did Mr. Zahour leave me at the courthouse after I took off work with no notice because he had another case, he seemed to let the other lawyer know as well as the other person I was in a case with, but not his own client? He has also called me yelling at me for not submitting paperwork when i...t was his responsibility to gather the documentation. Not only that, I had to call this lawyer about 20 different times complaining about verbal abuse from my ex and the attorney told me to "deal with it", and to not go to the cops - YES. He said avoid the police because a court does not like to see that type of stuff. Then he allowed allowed the father of my child to pay me very little support via PAY PAL for over a year - no justice for health insurance, day care, nothing. He will hurry you off a phone call within 2 minutes and charge you $25. BE CAUTIOUS, this guy manages drug dealers and just about every judge hates him. My 18 month old son is now going to be allowed unsupervised visits with his drug addict father even though both a court appointed mediator/doctor and a home case study worker advised against it all because Alonzo didn't take the time to represent me correctly. And to top it off, this lawyer did not speak up for me ONCE in court yet told me to "speak my mind" saying that the judge didn't like me. No Alonzo, the judge does not like YOU!

I hired Alonzo in July 2013 when my ex left me with our 4 yr old child & did not take any financial responsibility for her. After 9 yrs together, we were never married so it made it more difficult to make him do so. When I first meet Alonzo he was upfront, told me what he would do for me & it would b...e simple. Needless to say, 19 month later, I have received $3000 from my ex towards child support but the real kicker here is that me ex received a large settlement from an injury & Alonzo did nothing as he said he would to secure some funds for my child or for all the back child support, medical, day care expenses. It took him a year to go to court for me, he cancelled 5 scheduled hearings the first year, told him I would report him to ARDC unless he did an emergency hearing of which we went to & without my consent gave my ex's attorney another extension so a year later my child & I was still in the same position we were in before we hired him. Alonzo had told me be lucky I work & I have income coming in cause there are people in worse cases then mine. Yes I work, make a OK living, but it is a parents responsibility to provide & support their child & it was Alonzo responsibility to have the courts make the father do so, Alonzo did nothing to secure funds for my child so she is the one that will scarfice while her daddy is living life off his settlement. Needless to say, he no longer is my attorney, I reported him to ARDC. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY!!!

Terrible Lawyer, Very Lazy, never returns calls, or email, and lacks communication, late to court dates, or sends his partner, I would send him emails, with No response other than his assistant was out with an illness and they were busy, Not my fault! I had sent him the same email once a week for a ...month No response. He got aggravated with what I was asking for in my case, working against me. He ended up dropping me as a client cause I didn't pay him, He got a retainer and $ 100.00 of my money and that is all he is getting. on top of it when he sends me the bill its not even correct. He is very unprofessional and all over the place, sloppy. court was always a joke! needless to say I hired another attorney who got the job done in a few months apposed to Alonzo's 1 year of doing absolutely nothing.

This is the 1st time I write a review of an attorney. This person is so irresponsible, never gets back to you, and when he does he is in a hurry in which you can't even ask a question. He tells you he will handle something in court and that will call you..... Yeah, sit and wait...... One of the worst... things is that he misses a lot of your court dates. And that always looks bad in front of a judge. He lies a lot. I used to think I was the only one passing thru this but as I see I'm not. He will hold your case for a long time and the worst with out you knowing anything because he doesn't inform you of any status. You have to keep on calling him. His secretaries oh wow they never know anything, they are rude. I guess they receive a lot of calls daily with clients that are not satisfy with the process of their case. People don"t hire him if you don't want to be in stress. Keep in mind there are many attorneys out there that i'm sure they will work your case better.
