Exceptional professionalism and knowledge

I'm a real estate agent in Pasadena, CA and for the past couple of years I've been using Raymond Zakari for guidance to help me navigate most of the sticky legal issues I come across in my profession. Raymond has an exceptionally sharp mind and is very strategic when it comes to parsing out the rele...vant details in the haze of some of my transactions. He is also a phenomenal contract expert. He has helped me logistically structure some of my deals that were a bit more complex than most of my other transactions. But I'm mostly impressed with Raymond's ability to work with me in a timely manner and to be clear and concise. He doesn't mince words and in a profession where time is money, Raymond has definitely saved me on both.

Love This Guy

Truly an amazing guy, he took the time to explain my problem from the start, he was genuine and cared a lot. He always kept me informed and his staff is so friendly. I could not believe how much he cared about my case, almost as much as I did. I love this guy, he is a great attorney and a great pers...on.

Great Lawyer

I had a chance to use Ray Zakari several times over the past 4 years, and I've never been dissapointed. He is straight forward, cost-conscious and was fairly good at getting back to my calls or emails in a timely manner. If you need help with Landlord-Tenant law, Ray is the attorney for you. Even ...though I am not near Pasadena, I always felt it was worth the drive to meet with him if needed. Really a great attorney.

Great Lawyer

I went to Zakari law to assist me with my problem tenant. I struggled because my property is subject to rent control and I did not have a lot of experience as a landlord, but my tenant seemed to be a professional scam artist. I met with Raymond Zakari and, immediately, I knew i was in good hands. Thi...s guy knows the law. He was a tenant's attorney and knows the tricks that tenant's and their lawyers play so he prepares his case in a way that avoids those traps. Updates on the cases were slow but once requested he and his staff were very responsive. If you need a landlord/tenant lawyer who knows the law for both landlords and tenants, Zakari Law is the place to go.
