Since 2000, I have had the pleasure of working with three excellent attorneys at Zahn Law Offices. All three have had highly impressive educational backgrounds and experience. They were available to me by phone and patient when listening to my concerns. Because their attorneys were so knowledgeable about my case, such effective litigators in the courtroom, and such highly skillful negotiators outside of the courtroom, I was able to achieve all of my desired outcomes in family court.

Response from owner

Ms. Udoji, thank you for your kind words. It was our honor and privilege working with you and are very happy to hear that you were pleased with the results.

I'm in the middle of a miserable divorce from a former Divorce Lawyer. I have gone through numerous attorneys. Paul Zahn and Monica Frye are by far, the best attorneys I've come across. Regardless of the outcome, these lawyers are excellent! If they take all my money and I still lose, I will feel confident they tried their best and did the best job anyone could have done for me. No one is guaranteed an outcome in law. There are too many factors at play. They bill appropriately for their time. Some divorces simply require more time than others. They are not anywhere near the most expensive attorneys I've come across but they do strike me as being the best! Most lawyers have clients deal with their assistants the majority of the time. At Zahn Law Offices, you deal directly with your lawyer. You might think this costs slightly more than using an assistant but interestingly, it probably doesn't as you're not billed for the time the assistant is conveying the information to the lawyer. Zahn Law Offices are definitely worth every penny! Paul and Monica are both brilliant people and each one brings different strengths to the table. I am confident they are doing the best job any lawyer could do for me. Donna, the receptionist, is also wonderful. For the record: I have no prior relationship with anyone from this firm. I found them from their add on a Google search.

These guys are scam artists that will rob you blind you would better off representing yourself! Definitely had no voice in he court room and was very cut corners even used black and white printing to display evidence that clearly needed to be displayed in color ! Very unprepared so the judge can move the date forward another month knowing 4000 dollars is what it cost monthly huge scam don't fall for it!!. Don't bother replying there's nothing you can say to explain your incompetent crew ! We all know lawyers are liars so spare me the response!!

Response from owner

Joshua P,<br><br>I am sorry to see that you have posted this, after having told several members of the firm how much you appreciated our work on your case. Obviously, due to confidentiality, I cannot respond to any specific claims you have made, other than to state that we provided you with competent legal services and that the costs associated with your case were not always within our control. Suggesting that lawyers are liars does nothing to address any legitimate concerns you may have. If you actually wish to discuss your concerns, I am happy to speak with you either on the phone or in person.

Very Disappointed! I am calling numerous attorneys and this is the only one so far that the lady whom answered the phone kept repeating herself about PAYMENT! Till finally I told her, the payment isn't a issue. I just need to find out some info on your office for my son. She then told me that even if my son gives her the ok to speak with me and is present or on the phone that the attorney can ONLY speak to my son. Which I don't understand that. If my son is on the phone with me or if this meeting where to take place face to face, why couldn't I explain the situation we are having? The whole reason we are looking for an attorney is because my son when speaking tends to word things incorrectly or not say everything and that is why I would be the one to step in and explain with him present.. Needless to say the conversation ended. Never even got past the lady whom answered the phone.

Response from owner

Thank you for your comment, but our office policy is for the free consultation to be for the client, not a third party. This was explained to you when you called. I am sorry that you are upset with this policy, but as attorney-client confidentiality is important to any successful representation, this is the policy that we have implemented. If your son wants to tell you what was said after his consultation, he is welcome to do so, but that is his choice, not our choice.<br><br>I am sorry that you were upset by our policy, but it is done to benefit the client. Perhaps there are other attorneys who might be a better fit for you and your family. We wish you the best of luck in your son's case.<br><br>Paul Zahn<br>Managing Attorney

Zahn law office just tried to suck me dry financially for being in court for me ONE time and asking for a continuance ONE time and accomplishing nothing at court and the attorneys Allison Novik and Paul Zahn want around $7300 for that! My situation did not get better I got absolutely nowhere but in debt! I’m so glad I fired Allison after just 4 weeks and one court appearance when I did or I’d be bankrupt and homeless.

Response from owner

We understand our clients are going through difficult times in their lives and we always strive to exceed their expectations. While we do not agree with this review, it is not proper to comment publicly due to attorney-client privilege.

Had a lengthy custody dispute concerning my son. Their office helped not only resolve the issue, but ensured the agreement was fair and in the best interest of my son. Mr. Fuller specifically, made sure that I understood everything that was happening and that I was being taken care of. Would highly recommend either Mr. Fuller or Mr. Zahn for anyone.

Thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure working with you.

I had a very difficult time fighting my ex who had way more money to spend on lawyers than I did. Paul Zahn was like a pinch hitter for me giving me the hope and confidence that I wasn't going to lose my home to my ex who bullied me. He struck a homerun and I was able to keep my home and make reasonable payments towards the lawyer fees. He is very honest, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I only wish he was my first and only lawyer as I've had two previous ones who wasted my money and did nothing but make me frustrated with this ordeal.

Paul has been my attorney since December 2016. My divorce case was extremely complicated, involving a long term marriage with children and several business assets. Paul was able to successfully negotiate a settlement that was fair and reasonable, and saw to it my interests were protected. I'm very grateful for his legal counsel and level headed approach to some very trying situations in and out of court. He was thorough, professional, meticulous, gave me full attention, devised a successful strategy with the opposing attorneys, and I would highly recommend his services without hesitation. Terry M.

Paul Zahn doesn't keep his client's best interest in mind. It seemed like he worked mercilessly to appease the other side instead of working for his own client. He would not listen when presenting valid points. He said a very alarming statement during mediation stating "I do not feel sorry for you. My wife has a child from a previous relationship and I do not feel sorry for her." I never asked this man for his sympathy but his assistance. In addition to that, if one has 0 empathy for the people they represent, you cannot expect them to want to fight for their client's rights and reasonable wants. When you hire someone to help you, you expect them to do just that. I feel I am back where I started dealing with a person who admitted they did not see their child for a year and a half and a lawyer who was catering to the opposing council. I truly believe all the other reviews about his monetary dealings as well. He doesn't relieve stress but prolong it.

Response from owner

We were disappointed and surprised to read C. Trenise J.'s review. We make our best efforts to meet the goals of each client and to do so in the most cost effective method possible. I would ask that Ms. J contact us to advise why she would make these statements.<br><br>I would also ask that Ms. J allow us to provide our side of the representation in this forum in response to this review.

Paul, you are a remarkable person, I want to tell everyone this. When you say or think about being God sent, He was. I could not have asked for a better turn out. Just when I thought I had to pay everything. Paul and his team flipped the tables on my ex-wife and her treacherous lawyer. I was able to keep my house, furniture and payments to ex was minimum. If you read this, this is very important. LISTEN TO YOUR ATTORNEY. especially this one. He had my best interest at hand. At the end I was very Blessed to have Pauls team take care of me and this horrible divorce. Sometimes it scary to trust. Even more when your other half is trying to get you for everything. I put my trust in God and he sent me Paul. Gabriel

Paul exceeded all my expectations in my divorce. I had a woman judge and I didn't think anything would go my way, but it way beyond in my favor. Paul was really good in explaining all my concerns, and what to expect for outcome. I can't begin to give this guy enough credit! If you need a divorce lawyer, this is the guy you need!

Response from owner

It was an honor and a privilege working with you! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us at Zahn Law Office. Take care!
