Hired Attorney

Christian Zeller is an exceptional immigration lawyer. I got to know Christian over ten years ago when my mother reach out to him after been told by seven other immigration law firms that we didn’t had a case.From the first time we met him we noticed what a professional and talented attorney he is. I can sincerely say that my family and I are together residing permanently in the United States thanks to the great work that Christian Zeller and his team at Maney, Gordon, Zeller P. A did for us.

Hired Attorney

Competent, but overpriced. You really feel like a number with him. Since I had a small immigration case, I was relegated to only dealing with paralegals. Once I hired him, he never talked, emailed or saw me again. Every time, I asked to talk to him, a paralegal would call me back to deal with me. {para}I interviewed 4 lawyers and chose Maney, Gordon and Zeller due to the volume of my type case they do. I could have had the same result for 30% less. I regret my choice.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience at Maney|Gordon|Zeller. Direct attorney ¿ client communication is an important and integral part of our legal representation and I regret that I failed you in this regard. A simple case, as you have described yours, warrants as much communication as a complex one. We welcome our clients¿ calls and while our support staff makes sincere efforts in triaging calls appropriately, we don¿t always get it right. I will meet with our staff to reiterate the importance of direct attorney ¿ client communication, especially when specifically requested by a client. Given the nature of your online review, I have no means to reach out to you, but I would very much welcome the opportunity to have a chat with you. You do have my contact information; at your convenience, please send me an email and put ¿communication concerns¿ in the subject line. Thank you again for bringing your concerns to my attention and I look forward to hearing from you.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
