Could not have asked for a better attorney

After months of fighting with my husbands grandparents we finally hired Zach to help with the custody of our son. That was several years ago. We then had 50/50 with the mother and then she moved out of town with a guy who just got out of prison. We agreed in mediation. A year later we hired Zach for ...a third time as the mother still living with the boyfriend moved back to town. Zach was always thorough in everything that he did for us from paperwork to phone calls. He knew what we wanted and made sure we went over all the pros and cons of all the situations we entered. Our case was a little more difficult due to most information coming from our 7 year old son. The mothers attorney messed up paperwork several times which caused us to go to trial. Zach did an amazing job while we attended court he knew what was important and what wasn't necessary and asked the questions that were needed. He was patient with all of us and walked us through the whole process. Zach is extremely knowledgable of the law and if he needed to he would research if it was something uncommon. Zach made sure we knew that anything could happen in court and knowing that we still went and he still fought for us knowing anything could happen. It's not a guarentee for everyone but we won everything we asked for and more we couldn't have asked for a better attorney. The whole office was always kind when you called and they would answer any question you had if they could. Zach was great about calling or emailing even off hours when we had one emergency come up. It's uncommon to find an attorney who cares and we could always trust him! He never sent us suspicious bills and he always made sure we read through any paperwork before signing it to make sure we knew what it said. He always made us feel welcome and not like we were bothering him even when he was really busy. We would hire him again anytime.
