Solid representation

Zach did a great job for me. Given the circumstances of my DUI case, he got me a favorable outcome. I'd definitely reccommend him.

Zach Peagler

Zach not only offered us expert advice about our situation, he gave us time, support, and availability when we needed it. He was always there to listen, advise, and walk us through whatever details we didn't understand. His support didn't stop with resolving the case. He followed up with us afterwar...d, and he continues to be a resource for our family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
