Saved the day!

I went to Zach when my now-husband and I were having a very hard time getting a simple pre-nup written up and finalized due to issues with our individual lawyers (our lawyers were taking forever to respond to emails/ tasks, seriously upcharging us, producing sub-par results). I hired Zach to serve as... my new attorney and he was prompt, organized, explained things in a non-jargony way, and very reassuring that we would get things done to our liking. It was a big stress relief to know I had him on my team giving my previous experience and before we knew it, a task that was taking two lawyers monthsss to accomplish took him far less time (and frustration on our ends). Highly recommend you consider hiring him!

Exceptional

I was managing a local bar while in school and in between military assignments. Zachary Tidaback did an exceptional job representing me after being cited for furnishing alcohol to a kid with fake identification (misdemeanor 1). I was scheduled to deploy with my Ohio National Guard unit within 4 month...s and a Misdemeanor 1 could have changed my security clearance and prevented me from mobilizing. He understood how time sensitive and important this ordeal was to my future. Within a few weeks he was able to get all charges dropped and records sealed. Zachary Tidaback is a dedicated and diligent attorney that I would hands down recommend to anyone. He maintained consistent communication with me and updated me immediately on any changes in my case. Zachary has been fundamental to my military career development and I cannot thank him enough. Thank you again Zach.

Excellent

Zach is a personable, yet professional attorney. He spent adequate time with my husband and I and he always answered our questions and concerns in a timely manner. I have already recommended Zach as an attorney to friends, and will continue to do so in the future. We appreciate all he has done for... our family.

Excellent Lawyer

I endorse this lawyer. Zach is a thoughtful, well prepared counselor who has provided me with solid legal advice for years. He and his firm have represented me in numerous hearings before administrative agencies and the courts in Ohio and have done a superb job.

Posted by anonymous | September 08, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

An excellent and committed attorney

I was trying to gain custody of my son and had consulted with two attorneys before meeting and hiring Zach. Both pervious attorneys basically said that I did not have a chance, and their advice was to try and get along with my son's mother. When I met with Zach he was eager to take on my case, but ...also advised me that it would not be easy. During the process, Zach thoroughly communicated keeping me up to date on the progress and what to expect. The outcome had exceeded my expectations, and I was awarded the primary custodial parent. I would recommend Zach to anyone looking for an attorney because he genuinely cares about his clients.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"In several child custody cases, I had the opportunity to engage Mr. Tidaback in negotiations and litigation in which both of our clients were extremely difficult and challenging. Counsel was, at all times, professional, knowledgable, and always willing to work towards an amicable resolution to the issues at hand. However, I found him to be most effective as a criminal defense attorney. Despite local custom and pressure from the State, I personally witnessed Mr. Tidaback stand up and actively litigate essential evidentiary and factual issues on the record before the Court. His dedication, empathy and overall determination to work dilligently for his clients' interests was infectious in a good way and made me a better advocate for my own clients. I cannot complete my recommendation of Attorney Tidaback without discussing his research and writing abilities. In motion practice, there were no other attorneys, including those his senior, who took more care and researched as thoroughly"

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.
