This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Zack, I am extremely thankful for all you have done for my daughter and I.

I first contacted Zachary Starr because I needed help with custody of my daughter. I still remember, I had multiple appointments the first day I met Zack. Thankfully, Zack was my first appointment, and last. After meeting with Zack I was sure he was the attorney that I wanted and needed. As any... other person, I have close to no understanding of the legal world. Zack took the time to teach me about both my daughter's and my rights as a father. As things progressed, and we were headed for court, things really got ugly. I was shocked and sadden by the methods the third party utilized. However, Zack, was extremely helpful and walked me through the whole process. I really appreciated the quick email responses and call backs, even after office hours. I have no doubts that the many, if not all, benefits both my daughter and I enjoy today are a direct result of Zack's work and guidance. I could not be happier, or more thankful to Zack. If the situation should arise, I have no doubt, I will come back and look for Zack. I fully recommend Zack to anyone who is looking for an incredible attorney. -Thank you so much Zack!

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

Didn't help me

I met with Zachary when I wanted to change a very unfair divorce decree. I paid a consultation fee just to see him because I had heard great things. After about 5 minutes he told me my case was hopeless and I should just agree to everything my ex wife wanted. For the next two years I did and then met... with a different attorney who felt I had been taken advantage of and actually had my decree changed. I wish I would've found another attorney two years ago and saved myself a lot of time, money and heartache.

I am sorry to learn that this person's experience was not what they had hoped for. However, it is good to hear that things improved for them after a few years. I am always committed to giving an honest evaluation of a person's legal options. In modification actions especially, passage of time and new circumstances can often change the outcome of a case.

Expert assistance

I hired Zack when my ex-husband filed a modification order from our divorce of 2014. After only one meeting, I was confident that the matter was not as serious as I had feared. Zack was very efficient, informative, and timely in his dealings on my case.

Really awesome to work with

From the start Zac was very informative on every question/concern. He even let me know about the things I didn't think to ask. Really awesome guy. I'd seriously recommend to anyone going through a divorce. He handles everything fast as possible and keeps you updated on everything. Very pleased with Z...ac.

Thank you Mr. Starr!

Zack Starr is an excellent attorney. He worked very hard to help my my ex-husband and I come to a resolution without having to go to court. His knowledge and expertise in family law is invaluable. He truly cares for his clients, especially the children involved in the case. I would recommend Mr. ...Starr to anyone in need of an attorney.
