Review Zachary Jacob Divelbiss

Zachary goes the extra mile to defend his clients

5.0 stars

Posted by Roger

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 end 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.

I hired Zach because I was expecting to go to jail for a long time considering I had a warrant and 3 felonies. Zach was able to get rid of the warrant and now all 3 felonies are dismissed without any jail! He worked with my schedule and was transparent about everything. Highly recommend

I hired this lawyer for a possesion of a weapon by prohibited person. Due to a bogus charge in 2013 in which i did not have a lawyer i recieved a felony on my record. I was facing 4-7 years in prison. Regardless i chose to turn down every plea that the state presented knowing it was a unjust charge. Placing all my trust in my lawyer he with all his ability and knowledge was able to secure a full dismisal of my case. I love this guy. Best thing i could have done. He saved my life. Endless thanks.

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.

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 hands down hire him if you need someone who understands and cares and will fight for what's right thank you.

Zachary provided me with excellent legal advice and services. He recently represented me for a DUI and explained everything well and came through with all questions and issues. He was even able to dismiss my 12 month license suspension. Zachary is reliable, courteous and professional. I highly recommend him without any reservations.

I never thought I would find myself in need of an attorney, but unfortunately I did. Throughout this whole process Zachary has provided excellent advice, and has been very clear about what to expect. He is very responsive, answers all questions and is incredibly attentive to your concerns as a client. Most of all Zachary is caring, compassionate and understanding. I would 100% recommend Zachary to anyone.

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 company. 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.

Although my criminal issue was minor, Mr. Divelbiss was completely professional and treated me with the upmost respect as if it was a very serious case. It was great to have Mr. Divelbiss in my corner to handle everything for me so I did not have to worry about doing anything wrong. Additionally, he was very honest and upfront with me about everything. If you hire Mr. Divelbiss, rest assured that you will be well taken care of and get the best representation possible.
