Zachary David Smith

Zach’s representation came eight hearings, and three months deep into a high-conflict divorce with complicated finances & unique employment circumstances. The difficulties were compounded by elements of domestic violence, addiction, mental illness and personality disorders. Despite these conditions t...he case was not going my way. It’s fair to say that I came to Zach in a deep hole. Due to this state of affairs, Zach was recommended to me by two of Cincinnati’s most highly regarded Family Law attorneys. One was family, the other’s fees far exceeded my means. They both assured me that Zach was brilliant, clever, resourceful, thought outside of the box & was extremely well versed on the law. In spite of having parents in the financial world, one a Broker, the other an Accountant, Zach’s understanding of current tax law, deadlines and pending governmental changes far surpassed our highest expectations. This only begins to describe his invaluable attributes. Zach proved to have a profound understand of people, their triggers, motivations and what made them tick. Zach used this skill to handle whatever was thrown our way. Zach was committed to helping me and my four children, even when this meant meeting at & communicating with our family Psychiatrist. His most notable quality is how measured of a man he is. He knew when to muscle up and when to wear kid gloves. He taught me that the bull is stronger, but the matador is smarter. Acting as a matador, Zach cultivated a plan that restored our lives.

I contacted Zach Smith for help negotiating and mediating a parenting plan. He was straightforward and honest with me about what the best and worst-case scenarios could be, as well as the costs, based on my specific situation. It was apparent Zach was an expert in his field and I’m very thankful for ...his guidance.

Mr Zach Smith was so very helpful when it came to settling by divorce. I was not comfortable with the first attorney I had picked, so when I switched to Zach it was a much better fit. He was very caring, courteous and compassionate. I felt that he truly had MY best interest at heart. His staff was fr...iendly and communicating with him was a breeze.

I hired Zach for a contentious divorce with children. I had already used one lawyer and was 9 months into the proceedings, so I had a fair amount of baggage when I started working with Zach. Zach was recommended to me by a friend and I chose him over a couple other lawyers I had interviewed. I cho...se him and recommend him because he delivered on the approach that he first talked to me about. Zach first worked with me to develop our strategy. We then kept working from that strategy. Zach was always there to tell me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. In the end he helped me to make the tough correct decisions to finally resolve the case protecting myself and my kids as best I could. Zach even then discussed what the post-divorce strategy would be as far as under what circumstances should I retain him again to pursue enforcement of the divorce decree. I have full trust in the advices that he gives. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone needed a family lawyer.
