Potential Client

I contacted the office in pure distress over a situation, After a brief consultation, I was given the information I needed without hiring Attorney Alonzo and everything was made clear to me. He was also honest to advise I didn't need to retain him and was kind enough to fax the information to me. Tha...nk you for your honesty and sincerity

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.

Family law attorney

This man is nothing but a scam. He did nothing but side step and did not notify me of crucial law decisions which cost me thousands of Dallor's while he could have advised me properly in the beginning. Now, knowing what I know I had a very expensive education in the law to which, once again knowingl...y, he did not advise me on and took me months to dig out of. In the end stay clear of this scam artist he will sell you the world but throw you under the bus multiple times

Awesome

Mr Zahour handled my divorce. He was very professional and understanding. He completed my divorce in a timely manner. He explained the legal system as it is in my county. He answered all my questions. There was nothing more that he could have done to assist me. I was extremely satisfied and wou...ld recommend him without hesitation.
