Zachary J Stern

My life crumbled and fell apart at 22 when I was charged with strict liability statutory rape charges, for conduct that lacked any criminal intent. Desperate and hopeless, I was looking at decades in prison when I first met Zach, but he immediately assuaged much of my worries through his sharp analys...is and strategizing in just the first consultation. My case was fairly complex, involving social media and communication logs, but Zach wasn't afraid of combing through it all to find any and all avenues of attack. Zach also went above and beyond in easing and dealing with my emotional turmoil, while never failing to be professional and honest with me about the potential outcomes of my case. And despite being charged in one of the worst counties to be prosecuted for a sex crime, Zach fought hard and was able to secure an outcome with only probation, allowing me the chance to plan my future and rebuild my life. Zach is unquestionably one of the best lawyers around, and he is truly dedicated to helping people navigate and fight against a system that at times can feel labyrinthine, overwhelming, and unjust. He understands the financial, mental, and societal toll that criminal charges and convictions can bring, and he never fails in treating his clients with the utmost compassion and respect. His pricing was fair, and his services, expertise, and connections are *well* worth it. Due to financial difficulties, he even worked with me to organize a generous payment plan. If you are ever facing serious charges and need a pitbull to fight for your rights and freedom, it would be a mistake not to call Zachary Stern.

Zachary stern is the best lawyer in town no doubt his was with my daddy for like 2 years the fought the state court of appeals supreme court and back to state and ended up beating of of them like the beast he is they can’t face his skills and smartness he is my daddy is out after dealing with a poses...ión of a big amount of drugs and and attemp of delivery with just 18 month probation I m happy to have daddy home thank you Zach

I was unfortunate enough to get myself brought up on Measure 11 Rob 2, Theft 1 and felony assault charges all totaling more years than I can fathom. Rather than risk everything on a lesser known, less experienced attorney my family pooled the funds and hired Zack. Almost immediately he was able knock... down some of the stress we all faced having these charges hang over me. Over the months leading to the resolution and my constant fear of being sent to prison he went to every length to make sure we stayed in regular contact with any additional information as well as a plan for the upcoming dates and what to expect with each court hearing. Seeing him work made me more confident each time and in the end I had no jail time added besides my initial arrest and they dropped my felony charges to misdemeanors. I personally didn’t want to go to trial and I was very happy to stay out of prison and plea to misdemeanors without any felony charge. Very highly recommended I can’t imagine having dealt with this without him.

First, I would like to thank Zach Stern for all of his knowledge and continued support in my time in need. During the time of my incident, I was scared tremendously. It frightens me to think about how drastically my life could have been if it was not for Zach. Twenty-two years old facing 15 + years f...or a crime I did not commit would have been detrimental.  I felt that I was up against a system that I would not beat on my own. It was my word against theirs and I would not win. Before retaining Zach’s services, I had been in contact with what I was told was one of the very best sex crime lawyers in Oregon. The moment I met with the other individual it was evident that they were only interested in the money, not my outcome. On the third phone call I had with him, he told me he was not going to answer any more of my questions until I put 8.5k upfront. I was lost and did not know what to do. Thankfully, I got Zach’s information and from the very beginning, he treated me with professionalism and respect. He knew my worries regarding my case, finances, and the state of my mental health. After a long conversation of me explaining my side of the story to him, we began to discuss possible outcomes. He let me know not to worry so much about the financial pieces just yet; we could set-up a meeting so we can figure things out. He was 110% honest! We set up a fund account and he went straight to work. I am thankful I had family and friends in my corner to help financially. Retaining his services was not cheap, but neither was the service his firm provided. I can honestly say I got what I paid for. I was fortunate enough to be represented by someone who was committed and dedicated to my case. He was in constant contact with me and always on top of his work. I cannot thank him enough for what he did for my loved ones and ultimately, me. The case against me was dismissed and everything will be cleared from my record. Again, I express full gratitude in Mr. Stern and his services. He is truly the best at what he does and this is my testimony to prove it.
