Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Zach and Jeff Kradel are my best resources and referrals in Seattle. Zach takes on tough cases, and gets amazing results for his clients. I first got to know Zach as a sharp, rising star, when he was a prosector for Snohomish County. I think defending some of the toughest cases charged demands any lawyer's admiration."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Zach Fleet. I have referred complex criminal defense cases to Zach and I am continually impressed with his results. Zach gets cases dismissed. In one particular drug case, Zach met with detectives out in the field, to show them that a neighboring property owner had no authority to consent to a search of his client's backyard. Most attorneys throw up a white flag when Zach Fleet throws down some heavywieght arguments."

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 31

Relationship: Co-worker

"I very strongly endorse Zach Fleet's work. Zach is a compassionate, hardworking advocate. His knowledge of criminal law, gleaned from years as a prosecuting attorney and years as a criminal defense attorney, is formidable. Simply put, Zach knows what's what. He is intimately familiar with the inside of a courtroom, knows how prosecutors and judges think, and is highly regarded by prosecutors, judges, and his fellow defense attorneys. He cares deeply for the needs and concerns of his clients and will do his absolute best to achieve an optimal result, even when faced with unfriendly facts and caselaw. I would not hesitate to refer any client charged with a crime to Zachary Fleet."

"Zach is an outstanding attorney. Beyond the skill he brings to bear in litigation, he also enjoys such high regard from judges and other attorneys that he able to effectively navigate the system for clients who appear to have little if any chance of a successful outcome. I have represented clients who were charged out of the same incident as Zach's clients, and without fail he has obtained incredible results."
