This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Child Support Modification

Zach really helped me figure out my rights according to the law. He was very professional and outlined all the options I had in an easy to understand way. After weighing my options with Zach's assistance, we chose a path that was best for my case. Zach's analysis was correct and modification I so...ught, I received.

Excellent Attorney

Handled my case and went well above my expectations for an attorney. Explained to him that my ex wife wanted to drag this out to cost me as much money as possible. Zachary had it wrapped up and finalized in record time. I highly recommend him.

"The Feeling is Tremendous"

I retained Zach as my attorney as I was in a custody battle after my divorce. I had been going it alone for about six months and although I felt I had a good case, there is always the "what if" Many factors regarding my case brought me to Zach. I had relocated to another state, had a new job, paperwo...rk to locate and file, many things had to be addressed and considered. It was overwhelming. From the moment I made the decision to get help, I knew that Zach was the attorney to represent me. The initial conversations we had by phone were comfortable and productive. The fact that I was 1400 miles away and that I was placing my children's future and well being in someone's hands was scary at first but Zach, I felt, was the one that could get it done for me. The biggest concern I had was that I had given him less than 3 months to prepare. In that short amount of time he compiled all the documents, filed all the paperwork, conducted the interviews with the witnesses. He did that and so much more. When we entered the courtroom I was confident and WE were prepared. In court Zach was direct, to the point and was able to "paint the picture" for the Magistrate. He asked the right questions of every witness called to the stand and when the proceeding was complete there was no "what if" left in my mind. When the court made their decision and I received the call from Zach that we had won, I knew I had made the right call. I cannot express enough my gratitude, nor the respect I have for Zach. I put my trust in him and he delivered. I could not be more pleased. Sincerely, Dave

Zach Chapman

Zach handled my divorce in an extremely professional manner. He was always prompt to respond to inquiries, by email or phone. The advice he provided along the way was always sound and guided me to the quickest solution possible. He made every effort to make the process efficient and as cost effective... as possible. I never felt as though he was doing anything that was not needed in order to resolve my case. I highly recommend Zach Chapman.
