This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Worked more for opposing council

Zach did not explain my rights or what he was doing. He actually gave advice which benefited my ex and opposing attorney after being recommended to me by a domestic violence advocacy center. He did not explsin decisions to me, manipulated my access to legal facts and my rights, and gave suggestions w...hich ultimately destroyed my case and gave custody of both my children to my abusive ex. I filed to drop him after realizing he did more harm than good.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Child Custody Case

This guy talked my son into settling out of court on a child custody case involving my son's daughter and her mentally impaired mother, his client, who hired Zach after she couldn't pay her bill to her last attorney who cut her off. His client, the mother continually breaks the legal agreement he dre...w up, both parties agreed and signed, and he does nothing about it. The sad thing is the one who gets hurt is an innocent 5 year old girl. Both attorneys involved don't care about the child's best interest. How does a guy like this sleep at night?

A joke of an attorney

This guy represented me during my divorce in Idaho, he never responded to me or kept me informed. My simple divorce took over a year and costed way more than it was supposed to, I would not recommend him even to my ex, and that's saying something.

Dedicated, sharp, knowledgeable, & respected

Zach represented me on a complete bogus & unjust NCO violation( my previous council failed me miserably & didnt object to the completely illegal NCO imposed by a 3rd party in my previous sentencing proceeding). During the hearing, Zach demonstrated his competence, sharp knowledge & intellectual prow...ess . I felt like I was FINALLY represented & stuck up for by Zach when the "bully" of a system was pushing me around. I'm very honored to be able to write Mr.Lords first review. I would Definitely recommend this sharp, up & coming lawyer. Zach is there to stand up for peoples rights. I witnessed it first hand!
