My Second DUI I was scared!

Zack did a stellar job defending my two DUI's. My sister, who is an attorney, read his flyer for DUI defense, which was one of hundreds sent to my house. She felt he had the best flyer regarding flat fees, experience, and familiarity with DUI laws. Though i had appointments with him on multiple occas...ions, called and emailed with many questions, I was never charged additional fees. I didn't need to appear in court once. He handled everything. Ultimately, i received the least of punishment for first DUI offenders: court fees, MADD class, DUI classes, and DMV suspended my license. It was a streamlined process, and he never once postponed a court date. My second DUI could have been devastating for me. I was looking at 90 days jail (since i was still on probation for first DUI,I was liable for jail time of 30 days, plus an additional 60 days for 2nd DUI). Zack knew the judges, requested a different, more lenient judge. I received 60 days home confinement and NO BAIL BOND. Second DUI's usually have a bail set at 25K. Zack was also able to dismiss a drug charge, and i was only charged for driving under the influence and driving with a BAC over .08 (As a condition of my first DUI, i wasn't allowed to drive with any amount of alcohol in my system). I was astounded and elated (relatively). I cannot express my gratitude in words. I feel he's an attorney with high moral standards and integrity. His office staff is friendly and extremely helpful.

petty theft

Zach helped me get appointed a DEJ and helped facilitate the whole court process for me. He broke everything down into language and terms I could understand and felt comfortable with. He explained what was going on and my options from the get-go. I was thoroughly pleased with the outcome and his work....

Trustworthy and knowledgeable attorney

I hired Zachary to handle my case a few months ago. Going to court and being wrongfully accused was stressful. Zachary made the whole process easier. He was very knowledgeable and represented me very well. He is a very skilled attorney and brought evidence in on my behalf that proved my innocence. I... would definitely recommend him to anyone who is facing charges.

Hit and Run....DISMISSED!

I was wrongfully being accused of a hit and run in the city of Santa Monica. The worst part is that I was being charged criminally for it! Zachary had the brilliant idea to file a motion for civil compromise, subpoena the alleged victim, and provide a cashier’s check to him. The DA was opposed to thi...s and filed her opposition. When we appeared in court I had my cashier’s check and the alleged victim was present. He wanted his money and I wanted to get the hell out of court and carry on with my life. Zachary provided documents to the Commissioner and DA indicating that I am fully employed and a full-time student. The DA could have cared less but you know what the best part was?! The commissioner stipulated to the motion for civil compromise, the victim was paid, and the case was dismissed. I have no criminal conviction thanks to Zachary and his team!
