I hired Christina Zauhar to represent me for a DWI case. An attorney is essential, and as complicated and time consuming as the process is, a paid attorney is better. She was highly recommended, and I enthusiastically add my recommendation to the list. She obtained for me an excellent resolution to a bad situation (I was guilty as charged). She confidently handling everything from start to finish -- including every hang-up, every glitch. My confidence grew throughout the three and a half month process. Several people were helpful to me during this time. Christina was crucial, I think.

Christina has been incredibly helpful from the first phone call until my case was closed. She was able to work out a great deal for my case while being a helpful, informed resource throughout the process. I am very glad I was able to work with her as she provided a lot of peace of mind through the entire case. I would highly recommend Christina for anyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer. Thank you Christina!!!

Christina was great to work with. The circumstances by which I required her services caused me a great deal of anxiety but she immediately put my mind at ease during our initial visit. Prior to my hearing she very patiently coached me while I occasionally ranted about my case. On the day of my hearing I arrived 15 minutes early and she was already there waiting for me, which immediately put me at ease. During the hearing she was on-point the entire time, and really owned the proceedings. After my case was dismissed (we won!) The court reporter AND judge both complemented her on her courtroom presence. Her work was worth every penny, and while I hope that I never need her services again, I would not hesitate to rehire her. Thank you Christina!

I have nothing but great things to say about Christina. She was always available to answer any questions that I had. Through her knowledge and expertise, she made a very stressful time for myself and my family feel very comfortable and secure. If your in need of a great lawyer, I would highly recommend Christina!!!

Christina represented my son and was extremely friendly to work with. She answered all of our questions and provided clear direction. She is very responsive if we didn't reach her directly when we call, she called us back the same day!

After being accused of domestic assault (a manipulation tactic used by my emotionally abusive ex husband) I lost my job as a social worker and my life completely fell apart during the excruciatingly long six months legal process. I felt that nobody believed me or was on my side and I was guilty until proven innocent. Christina understood me… And believed in me…and carried me through to the end of the jury trial where I was acquitted.She was kind, personable, and readily available when I had questions or concerns. She is tough in the court room and was able to competently and logically argue my side of the story. If more attorneys were like her lawyers would not have such a bad reputation! She ( and the team that she works with) are amazing!

Despite the dire straights in which I found myself, Christina worked to make sure I had all the information I needed and was professional and empathic. With her help, we got the resolution down to the best reasonable outcome.

Christina did everything she could get my case dismissed. Even when we thought it might go to trial and they tried offering me a deal she explained every possible outcome. We turned down the deal and a few weeks later we found out they dropped the case due to lack of evidence. And they were trying for a deal cus they had nothing. If it wasn't for Christina I would had either ended up in a lengthy trial or taken a deal for something I did not do
