Best Attorney In Houston

I hired John for a vehicle accident that I was in with a very large grocery store chain. We won the case and without a doubt this was because of John's knowledge and understanding of these type cases. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

Excellent Job

Mr. Zgourides took care of a difficult case in a difficult county and we were very satisfied with the results.

Car accident

My daughter was in a car accident that involved being hit by a drunk driver. John Zgourides represents my daughter in the intoxication assault case. During the process of representation by John, he has kept us abreast of how the process works and has walked us through documents, paperwork, etc. The l...aws and court system are very hard to understand and trying to make sense of everything can be very stressful. It's comforting to know that our attorney has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge. His calm nature makes it very easy to talk with him. His priority is the client. He has worked hard and continues to fight for us. If you are in need of an attorney who has your best interest at heart and has the desire to seek justice, without hesitation, I would strongly recommend John Zgourides! A sincere thank you to John for his dedicated work.

Highly recommended

Mr. Zgourides is knowledgeable and operates with integrity as his guide posts. I have worked with John and am very pleased by his understanding and the way he offered me as many options as possible. He is not a salesman who persuades, conversely he is a counselor and that makes a huge difference when... dealing with legal matters.

One of the best attorneys and mediators I know

I have worked for and with John Zgourides. I've watched him win multi-million dollar verdicts. He is relentless in discovery and advocating for his clients. He leaves no stone unturned and makes a mighty presence in the courtroom. He also represented me in two personal matters which included mediatio...n. I recommend John with no reservation and would not hesitate to call upon him again. If you need a great lawyer or mediator, he's the "go to" attorney you should call. Did I mention that he's also a great mediator?
