History

Established in 2014.

Founded in April of 2014, Mr. Zakhour opened his firm after spending the first years of his legal career learning and working at highly reputable and established local criminal defense firms. In August of 2015, Garland Powell Peed IV left the Riverside District Attorney’s office to join the firm as a partner, thereby bringing him back to the city where he spent over 25 years as a Deputy District Attorney. With Mr. Peed and Mr. Zakhour working on cases together, the firm is able to accurately analyze cases not only from a defense standpoint, but also from the perspective of the prosecutor. The firm’s clients routinely commend The attorneys and staff at the office for their availability and willingness to promptly and thoroughly communicate with clients at any time. This close, personal style of representation, along with ethical, honest, and diligent representation, are the principals that guide the firm and the individuals that comprise it.

Meet the Business Owner

Sam Z.

Business Owner

Originally from Dallas, Texas, I moved to San Diego in 2005 when I received a scholarship to the University of San Diego. I graduated with a degree in English in 2009 and pursued a legal education at California Western School of Law, where I graduated in 2012. My primary practice areas are State and Federal Criminal Defense. Throughout my career, I have found that success is achieved when an attorney is passionate about his or her client’s cause. The most effective representation is that of the attorney who empathizes, believes, and truly wants to help the client. I strive to run my practice with that philosophy. The greatest satisfaction in this profession is a client’s thanks for a job well-​done. An attorney’s job, when it is done well, has the power to right a wrong; to provide an individual with a second chance; and to be an understanding, strong, helping hand when a person is facing a difficult time in his or her life.
