Child custody

Alonzo was my lawyer we spoke on the phone after making an agreement with my child’s father to move to another state Alonzo said he would have all paperwork drafted up and ready to go. I wanted a few days nothing from him called his office daily and emailed him to see where the draft was so I can get... my daughter here with me nothing mo the went by never got a call or email back. At the end of the day of it all because he never did his job I lost custody of my child when all he had to do was write it up per one discussion. What a mess and a horrible experience.

A monkey could have won this case

During my consultation with him, he stated that this was a simple case and he would win it for me and it would cost me a retainer of $750. Well let’s just says that was BS, because he blew through that retainer with useless calls back and forth to my ex-wife attorney and let’s not forget the 3 court... appears. Not only was the retainer wasn't enough for him he came after me for an additional $216.70 for miscellaneous charges too. He coward to my ex-wife attorney and when he wrote the court order, he didn't correctly write it up too. Because he wouldn’t listen to me of how to correctly write the order, especially me knowing how detailed oriented my ex-wife is and if it’s not exactly spelled then she doesn’t let anything slide. Well by him NOT listening to me, I lost valuable parental visitation time with my daughter who resides with my ex-wife 50 miles away, plus the pickup and drop off time were screwed up by him NOT listening to know. After all this was said and done. I confronted him on these matters, he got hostel with me and “he stated what is the big deal” of you losing visitation time with your daughter. Well to me every minute I get to be with my daughter is a big deal to me. Warning, stay clear of this artist of words, he has his own interest at heart NOT his clients.

I am sorry that you are displeased with the services received and if you dispute the billing, which was consistent with the contract signed with my office, you need merely discuss the issue with my office to reach a resolution. Additionally if you are displeased with the court order which was made known to you and which you approved as you were present, the simple remedy is to file a new motion to modify that order consistent with your desire. If you wish assistance call the office. It is always my practice to have my clients involved in the prosecution or defense of any matter and it is my practice not to do something without their consent.

THIS ATTORNEY IS GARBAGE

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!
