also known as Zach Shewmaker
I am a trial lawyer who represents individuals who have suffered injuries or death because of the negligent acts or omissions of others. I pursue claims arising out of car accidents, truck accidents, and slip/trip and falls.
I was named as a Rising Star for 2013, 2014, and 2015 by Georgia SuperLawyers. I have been named as a Super Lawyer every year since 2016 by Georgia SuperLawyers. Only 2.5% of Georgia lawyers are chosen for this honor. I was also named as one of Georgia Trend Magazine's "2013 Legal Elite."
Before opening Horst | Shewmaker, I worked for the largest personal injury law firm in the world. Prior to that, I spent more than four years at a small personal injury firm representing injured individuals through trial. I also spent more than seven years with two large Atlanta firms defending insurance companies, trucking companies, and other corporations against personal injury and wrongful death claims. I have extensive experience in dealing with insurance companies and understanding how they work to prevent individuals from recovering compensation for legitimate injuries. My time spent defending these claims gave me a unique appreciation for how motor vehicle wrecks and other incidents impact individuals and their families, and helps me achieve the best result for my clients.

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!

I worked with Zach for several years and now work against him. He has a wealth of knowledge, is detail-oriented, and professional. As his opponent, I can see that he zealously represents his clients and pushes for the maximum value in each case. If you are in need of an attorney, I highly recommen...
"Zach's dogged determination to get the best results for his clients is what separates him from other attorneys. His knowledge of the law is likewise stellar."
"I worked with Zach for several years and now work against him. He has a wealth of knowledge, is detail-oriented, and professional.

"I endorse Zach and would recommend him to friends and family. He is smart, well-trained and aggressive. His work is respected in the legal community."
"Zach is a skilled litigator who knows from firsthand experience how to deal with commercial transportation companies, truck drivers, and their insurance carriers in order to maximize his client's recovery. I strongly endorse this attorney."
"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."
"Zachary is an intelligent and thoughtful personal injury attorney whom I would trust to handle the most complex of cases."
