Amazing Lawyer

Alonzo H. Zahour is an EXCELLENT LAWYER. I hired him September 2014 . I found him in the phone book . I called him, made an appointment to speak with him and hired him on the spot. We were able to call or go to his office anytime. He returned phone calls. We just went to court September 2015 . A chal...lenging emotional case. He fought for us and WON. I recommend him to anybody

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.

IRRESPONSIBLE ATTORNEY

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.

Incompetent and rude attorney

I hired Alonzo 3 years ago for my case. Alonzo is very rude and disrespectful to his clients. You pay for this time during which he insults you. He is very unprofessional and frequently gets mad at his clients. He got reprimanded for his misconduct by the board about 15 years ago. He deserved it and ...15 years have not changed him at all. Don’t hire him you will regret it. He was always late to my court appointments too. The judge got mad at him for his lateness and it looked bad on my case. He failed to file some important motion for my case on time. Really bad and incompetent attorney if you ask me. As others mentioned he is too busy and does not give enough time to your case.

Great attorney!!!!

He took my case for a low down payment and worked as hard as if I payed alot. He knew when to settle and when to fight. I am so thankful to him for his great advice.
