the best!

I was very lucky in finding Mr. Zahour to represent me. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable but he anticipated all my needs in regard to my bankruptcy and divorce. I couldn't have asked for better representation.

Irresponsible and does not fight for clients

If you want an attorney that will ignore your calls/e-mails and your concerns, then this is the one for you! I've read alot of the negative reviews and I completely agree with them. I'm not really what he has done for me during my divorce case. I feel like an inflatable dummy could have done the ...same job/effort as Alonzo. During one of my hearings, he just stood there and said absolutely nothing on my behalf. I'm looking for another attorney.

Single mother looking for justice...

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!!!

Don Not Hire this Atty

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.
