Also Duped!!

I was told that this was a perfect case for trial. Then when it came time he wasn't going to fight on your behalf. When he did show up letting me sit in court for 1 to 2 hours he came strolling in not ready the only way it can be forgiven in the eyes of justice if he where to assist me in expungement... or steer me in correct direction for assistance my life is not suitable for the worst kind of person due to being bruised and sweep out of the way for the next.

Zachary goes the extra mile to defend his clients

I retained Zachary Divelbiss November, 2019 to defend a friend who was wrongfully charged with an assault, a felony carrying many years in prison. Other charges were also added. Zachary went to great lengths to defend his client and got the assault charges dropped and the other charges reduced. The e...nd was a short sentence compared to a long incarceration had his client been convicted to the original charges. I see Zachary as a skilled attorney and recommend him to anyone needing a defense attorney who will go the extra mile to defend his client.

Attorney Zachary Divelbiss is my Superstar

I have hired Divelbiss criminal law to clear the error in my background check which unjustly and unfairly portrait me as a criminal. Attorney Zachary Divelbiss cleared the error and he did it so promptly . My employer upon further reviewing the background check qualified me as the director of the com...pany. Thank you attorney Zachary Divelbiss. You believed in me that I was innocent and you took my case although you are living in another state . Attorney Zachary is a brilliant attorney , I highly recommend his company to resolve any legal/criminal matter satisfactorily . He still continue to work on my case to tie some loose ends . He is intelligent , prompt and a problem solver . I thank him a million times to protect my dignity and reputation.

Amazing Lawyer

I would have Zachary represent me in a heartbeat if I ever found myself in a situation that I needed representation by an attorney again. When you are going through a difficult and scary situation having an ally that explains each step, every outcome and his best advice dealing with your case is all ...that anyone can ask for, and Zachary did that. He was kind and I genuinely felt like he cared about me not only as a client but as a person. He was prompt on returning my calls and emails and kept me updated on what I needed to know. If anyone needs a top notch criminal defense lawyer I recommend Zachary Divelbiss.

The best move I ever did...

So why every other attorney basically in the city of Phoenix had said that I was for sure going to prison looking at at least five years and not trying to hear my side of the story Zack took the time to look into my case and see the truth and fight for me and I'll never be able to thank him enough ha...nds down hire him if you need someone who understands and cares and will fight for what's right thank you.
