Zach is the Best!

Hit by a drunk driver causing back damage requiring three surgeries, 2 years of pain and will never be totally healed. Van Sant Law got us a good settlement. Zack was very friendly, professional and pretty genius!

Do not hesitate to hire Zach Shewmaker

I have had the fortunate/unfortunate experience to work with a ton of lawyers throughout my career, many of which have been top partners at white glove New York law firms. Recently when I had a personal matter and needed legal advice, I turned to Zach Shewmaker and I truly have never felt like I was... ever in better hands. Zach is an extremely intelligent lawyer who is relentless and aggressive, and he also has incredible people skills that allow him to execute extremely favorable outcomes for his clients that don't always involve the one-size-fits-all and heavy-handed tactics that many attorneys seem to employ as autopilot. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, responsiveness, and the zealous advocacy that he takes towards representing his clients interest.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Zach is a smart and hard-working attorney who gets great results for his clients. Before he began representing people injured by the negligence of others, he defended tractor-trailer and trucking companies. This gave Zach an insider's view of how insurance companies and trucking companies operate and defend lawsuits and allows him to get the best results possible for his clients."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
