"Zara Zeringue is an amazing lawyer. I was referred to her for my separation from my ex fiance and my child's father. She has helped me out with every aspect and regulation for my child's custody agreement. Zara also gives great advise when coming down to your legal issues and mapping out your agreement. If I have problems to this day with my ex, she is the first one I call to get advise or how to handle a certain situation. I would recommend her highly to anyone!"

My husband and I had consulted with the attorneys here. I must say, they did a stellar job. Before getting on the call, they were prepared: they had reviewed all of our paperwork and was able to provide very useful advice as to what steps we should take to get our matter resolved. Before consulting with the firm, I had plenty of restless nights, but after consulting with them, I was able to sleep again. They gave us peace of mind. We love them. They are very knowledgeable in what they do.

Thanks so much for helping my employee gain control of his baby who was given up for adoption without his knowledge or consent. You jumped in, an emergency action, and did what had to be done very quickly to reverse a terrible situation.

In my initial meeting with Mrs. Zeringue I was met with professionalism, yet kindness, and understanding. Mrs. Zeringue listened intently while I was explaining my current situation. Her calmness and confidence won me over immediately. She was very informative, and led me through the process with understanding and compassion. Her entire staff was available at all times, and calmed my fears. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for Mrs. Zeringue's outstanding representation of my case. I highly recommend Zeringue & Associates and her team for their abundant knowledge of their expertise in their field of law.

Great attorney and very understanding. I hired this attorney to help me gain custody of my daughter from a previous relationship. The situation was very rocky and there were many obstacles. But in the end Zara was able to give me more then i asked for. My daughter is now living with me in a much better environment then she was before. Zara guided me through the process with great detail and great results. I have and will continue to refer her to other people.

While I have retained Zara Zeringue for my attorney over the course of the last 4 years, I've come to recognize her expanse of skills and qualities. She is a dedicated hard-worker who is solution driven with an open mind. Ms. Zeringue brings rational thought and core values that allow her to generate fair and balanced decisions that are backed with conviction. She is very convincing and most importantly, arriving at the right conclusion before everyone else. Should Zara have the ambition, I'm sure she possesses the skills, work-ethic and patience to be an outstanding mediator.

Zara is an amazing professional and caring person. She helped me handle my mother's estate in Louisiana while I lived in Oregon. Zara helped me understand the difficult process regarding the myriad of legal issues. She is very approachable with all questions and issues that came up during the process. Zara kept me apprised of all legal actions and her communication skill were very reassuring during this difficult time. I highly recommend her for Estate Law.

It is my pleasure to recommend Zara Zeringue to anyone who may be seeking legal counsel. I have consulted with Ms. Zeringue on several occasions and experienced her to be professional, knowledgable, and, at the same time, empathic to my concerns and requirements. I have recommended her to others, and they reported that they were equally as satisfied. Ms. Zeringue's years of experience combined with her desire to serve her community and others creates a winning legal representative for her clients.

Zara and Kathleen took on a case that a couple of other lawyers did not want to deal with and provided much needed expertise. They prioritized and broke down a complicated situation into pieces I could manage and saw it through to the end with me. I sincerely appreciate their integrity, knowledge, and compassion.

Zara helped me with my divorce and custody arrangement. She negotiated well and was able to get me all the things that I requested without every having to go in front of the judge. I would recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney.
