Best Defense Attorney for DUI/DWI & Criminal Matters in Chicagoland Area

I HAVE ONLY DECIDED TO WRITE A REVIEW BECAUSE MR. ZAHOUR DESERVE A 10 RATING ON HERE. Please read below to know why. I was arrested for a DUI in Bolingbrook back in 2014. I hired Mr. Zahour as I always have for any troubles with law in Will/Dupage County area. Mr. Zahour won't tell you at first h...e will win or lose the case, though he will just point out some positive parts about the arrest. After months of courtdates, I decided to take this to trial. Mr. Zahour alerted me that If I lose the trial, I can face some serious penalties, I didn't think twice but had trust in him. The entire arrest video was presented to the judge, the arresting officers were interviewed. Mr. Zahour not only made the officers look bad in their judgement, but also concluded that I was not suppsoed to be pulled over to begin with as shown in the video, I had not swerved through the lanes. Judge found me not guilty on all charges including DUI. This was a huge win for me. A few months later, I hired Mr. Zahour again to get this particular arrest expunged. With a very affordable retainer, he expunged not only this DUI arrest but everything my criminal background that I coudl've gotten expunged including a battery charge that had been dropped in Dupage Country. Mr. ZAhour then sealed and expunged all my past troubles that were eligible and made this DUI arrest dissappear from my life like it never happend, all for very cheap price. He was very affordable. As far as Bolingbrook, he has literally cousins as prosecutors in the Bolingbrook court house. I also got arrested with marijuana possession in 2015. Mr. Zahour told me the state prosecutor on my case in Bolingbrook Court house is his cousin. Mr. Zahour got an unbelievable plea deal, the deal was that my entire marijuana case gets dropped in exchange for a $150 donation to a facility connected to Bolingbrook courthouse. That was unbelieveable but true. Mr. Zahour then also got this charge expunged from my record months later. As he is well respected in Will, Dupage county courthouses, I recommend him to anyone with similar troubles to mine. Thanks Mr. Zahour for helping me not get off track in my life.

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
