I hired attorney Francisco Zavala to represent me in a highly contentious divorce case. During the proceedings, my wife and her attorney made false accusations of domestic violence against me, which caused me great concern and fear for my job. Mr. Zavala handled my case with an aggressive approach, standing up for me throughout the case. At trial, the court recognized that my wife's accusations were fabricated in an attempt to gain custody of our children. As a result, the court denied her request for a restraining order. Mr. Zavala was highly responsive, answering all my phone calls and consistently following up via phone and email with updates about the case. He addressed all my questions and concerns promptly. In addition to his professionalism and dedication, Mr. Zavala charged me less than what other attorneys had quoted for similar representation. Communication was very good throughout the process. I found Mr. Zavala to be very professional and effective. I highly recommend him.

I retained this attorney for approximately two years and, during that time, my case saw little to no meaningful progress. Communication was poor, and I had to follow up for basic updates, often without receiving clear or timely answers.

I ultimately terminated representation in December due to ongoing concerns about billing, lack of results, and a lack of transparency about the legal process. At times, I felt misled about what was being done on my case and how the process was moving forward. I also did not feel treated with the level of professionalism and respect a client should expect.

After ending the attorney-client relationship, I handled my case on my own and was able to finalize my divorce in less than three months. This experience made the prior lack of progress even more concerning.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this attorney. I strongly encourage others to ask detailed questions about communication, billing practices, and expected timelines before retaining their services.
