Divorce Consultation

I needed information about getting divorced but also about being deployed and what would happen, Zach gave me great information and good guidance but also about possibilities that were there, he listened and understood but he also cared about my case, in the end if I do need a lawyer while I am deplo...yed or when I return I will be hiring Zachary Backlund as my attorney.

Great assistance on business formation

We worked with Zach on business formation and related matters. He's informative, responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Very personable and sincere

Mr. Backlund made me feel like he cared about my case. The reason I originally chose Zachary as my lawyer was his firms quick response to my questions. When I called I got straight through to Zachary, and my emails were almost always answered within 2 hours and most under 1 hour. Overall my experienc...e with Zachary was good and he did an excellent job. However the firm as a whole was very pricey and for a relatively painless divorce were both parties agreed on many things it did cost well above average.
