The Very Best!

I had the privilege of working with Zebas Law Firm, LLC and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Mr. Zebas genuinely cares about his clients. Not only did he take time to fully understand my case, but he also made sure I felt supported thro...ughout the entire process. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication were evident in every step and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I felt like I had a true advocate on my side and his commitment to seeing my case through to the end made all the difference. If you need a lawyer who truly cares and will support you from start to finish I highly recommend Zebas Law Firm.

The Best!!!

Joe represented me in an employment issue. Joe took my case because it was the right the thing to do. Not because of money or personal gain, but the right thing to do! The stress of the situation can take a very heavy toll. I cannot tell you how much it means to have someone genuinely concerned abou...t me and my families well being through the whole situation. Committed, dedicated, trustworthy, and honest don’t ever change Joe. Good to know there is still someone who does the right thing! Highly recommend!!

The Best

Joe and his staff are amazing! He is very down to earth and doesn't beat around the bush. He took my case when nobody else would. He did it because it was the right thing to do, knowing that it wouldn't benefit him much at all. He is a great man and lawyer! His wife, Heather is pretty awesome too! I ...highly recommend Zebas Law!

Overtime pay

I needed an attorney when my employer required me to work past my contract hours with no compensation. Mr. Zebas was a very competent, knowledgeable, and thorough attorney. He spoke to me like a friend, explaining terms I didn’t recognize and making sure I understood each aspect of my case. He and hi...s staff were quick to respond to emails, texts, and calls. I highly recommend the Zebas Law Firm.

Highly recommend

Mr. Zebas was professional, knowledgeable and cared about his clients! He kept us informed all the way the good and the bad. At the start he was given a dogs dinner case from a deceased lawyer. He took on the case and worked hard to get it to a positive resolution. This is the firm I would go back t...o time and time again with anything I had a problem with.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
