Divorce

Alonzo was amazing and super helpful. He made the divorce process one of the easiest things I have done. He sat down with me and my now ex-wife and explained everything to her so she would not have to hire a lawyer and cost me more money. I am truly grateful I hired Alonzo. Will be recommending him t...o others in need.

Highly Recommend - Couldn't have been happier!

I have hired Mr. Zahour for a few different matters over 10 years. He is very fair with his rates (compared to what other people tell me) I have always been happy with my results. He did my divorce and post decrees. Has helped my son with his traffic case. Great attorney. Would recommend hi...m in a flash

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.

STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!

More than a 5 Star review. There's nothing like an honest attorney who knows his stuff. Alonzo has helped me with a divorce and most recently, post decree, in which I had to go back to court for college expenses for my child. He really handles himself professionally in court and he'll tell it lik...e it is...I like that! Mr. Zahour also did a bankruptcy for a friend of mine who was really in a pickle. That friend now has a fresh start and is doing well rebuilding her credit. His office staff is helpful and he seems to be a busy guy. Good thing! His rates are pretty good. And my friend almost paid about double elsewhere for a bankruptcy..so call him. You won't be unhappy!
