Zara Zeringue

Divorce Attorney, Founder Zeringue & Associates

Zara Zeringue has been practicing divorce law in Louisiana since 2009.

A leader in her field, Zara has served as chair of the family law section of the Louisiana State Bar Association, and was recently awarded an “AV” rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest possible rating in both ability & ethical standards by peers. Less than 5% of women lawyers have been recognized with an AV Preeminent rating.

Zara practices litigation, but can also help with an uncontested divorce. Additionally, Zara has a focus in wills and estate planning law for her clients.

The mom of two adult children, Zara personally went through a divorce several years ago, so she understands the complexity and stress that comes with the divorce process. We are so excited and proud to have Zara in the Divorced Girl Smiling trusted professionals network. Welcome Zara!
