John Zarych and Brenden Shur are two exceptionally skilled criminal defense attorneys in a class entirely of their own. I was wrongfully accused of a horrible crime, arrested and extradited to NJ from FL where I waited to answer to the charges against me. I was terrified, hopeless and in desperate need of a highly qualified, experienced legal team.

From the moment I met John and Brenden I knew they were it! They went above and beyond to ensure that every day I felt supported and not alone, while at the same time using their knowledge of the law and unique abilities to fight for justice and bring the truth to light. If it was not for their dedication, knowledge and devotion to the application of law and presenting the truth, I would not be free today.

They are fearless and exhibit an unwavering commitment to their clients, who's voices have often been silenced by the criminal justice system. They are the GOLD STANDARD of criminal defense attorneys and if you're up against a Goliath, they are the rocks you need in your arsenal. I owe my life to these men (and their AMAZING office staff) and if you're lucky enough to get them to take your case, they will not stop fighting for you until they get you the best possible outcome. From the legal courtroom to the court of public opinion, John Zarych and Brenden Shur will have your back the entire way.

Had nothing but good experiences wit John, Branden and the rest of the team. Worth every penny spent! ANYTIME i had a question, I could Call and get through to John, Branden or anybody else in less than 5 minute (during business hours). And they answered every single question I had, at any time, like TRUE PROFESSIONALS and I thank them for that!

Bait and switch. Hired John Zarych (or at least I thought I did), but another attorney from his firm was the one who handled the case after I signed the retainer and paid. I was not even asked if this was ok with me. Then, before the court date, they would send another attorney (unlicensed) to the jail to talk with my husband. He was a nice older man, but truly unhelpful.

My husband never had the opportunity to talk with his attorney until the day of court. And honestly, my husband would have gotten the same result with a public defender. They also led us to believe that the state of Florida would run his Fl sentence concurrently with his NJ sentence, which was a big factor in our decision-making, but was unfortunately 100% not true in the end; he was extradited from NJ when they were done with him, and did another 3 years in a Florida prison. But the biggest reason for 1 star is the bait and switch thing. I guess you don't actually get the big shot attorney unless you're a big shot, yourself.

John and Brenden are the best representation you will ever find in south jersey. This law firm is highly regarded in this area because they are professionals. They will explain entire process, ease your anxiety and have your case dismissed! honestly other attorneys will take you for a ride, really do not care and no results. Zarach Law Firm is quality. You will not be dissapointed. I highly reccomend them. A++++

I interned for John Zarych my sophomore year of college and can attest to the effort that the team puts into every individual case. John Zarych along with his legal team were diligent and effective handling a personal matter for me. Attorney John Zarych, Brenden Shur, and Vince Simone are a group of professionals who take pride in their work. If you are seeking high quality legal representation and desire to be successfully represented, I would highly recommend this law firm due to their expertise on criminal matters.

We were recently able to collaborate with John Zarych for the benefit of a mutual client and we were left with one thought: INTEGRITY. John is experienced, caring and savvy enough to cover all his bases while being concise and professional. Any client would be lucky to work with him. The law often intersects with the family unit. If our family members were in need, we would trust John and his incredible team to shepherd us through dark times into greener pastures. Bravo for your good work John!

Absolutely an outstanding lawyer. I couldn't have asked for any better representation. John J Zarych and associates were very reassuring and comforting from the beginning to the end. For a first time offense, I was scared out of my mind, I spoke to John J Zarych and from the initial meeting with him, he went more in depth than anyone I'd spoken to, he made sure I was in understanding of the entire process.

He went above and beyond in court, and he managed to get my charge dismissed. better than expected. John J Zarych and Associates will definitely be saved for future reference to anyone I come across needing his services. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

The most unprofessional law office I have ever done business with. They don't return your phone calls, so it's mandatory you call them daily to get a response. They send information to the wrong address and allow an issue to go unresolved for more than a year. Stay far away from this law group if you want professionals handling your case.

John and his team showed as much care and concern before I hired him as they did once we made it official. As a parent I wanted the best counsel for my daughter and this incident could have derailed her promising future. John and his team worked closely with us and discussed the best path to address her legal issue. They put in the extra effort and it paid off with the best possible outcome - charges dismissed! The initial stress felt by the whole family was off the charts but was immediately diffused when we knew that we had John and his team on our side. Thank you John and Staff!

We had an outstanding experience working with John and team recently. They know the Jersey Shore area intimately and understand what it will take to come to a successful outcome in a court case. John and I discussed the various outcomes over the phone and we elected to move forward. They kept me updated every step of the way and the case just reached the best possible outcome that we had reviewed. Highly recommend them.

PLEASE do not trust Bredan Shur with any money. He is indeed a bad heartless man. He is the worst Attorney I have ever work with, because he is a lying scumbag. He will over price his service pretend that he is gonna do all these things and then never fallow threw with anything he promised. He also loses cases due to this behavior. I was completely screwed over and robbed by him.

It is effecting me, and my personal wellbeing to perform in my career. I can't even work right now because of the anger and frustration of what this firm did to me. Please do not trust this place! Go to Cherry Hill Marlton area where Attorneys have hearts and are there to help people not robb them.
