An awesome Public Defender!

If you are lucky enough to have Attorney Zachary Hofstad handle your case, you will not be disappointed. He was successful in getting my case dropped from 1 year of probation to just 6 months. Then, after that period, all records of my charges were expunged.

Public Defender and prosecuting attorney

This guy was appointed to be my Public Defender. Thank god I hired my own attorney. Zachary Hofstad is a Lawyer in Thurston County. He is also the Prosecuting Attorney for Mason County. That would be a conflict of interest. Then he tried to talk about me to the prosecutor not knowing I was present.

Although your review was left anonymously, I'm very confident I know who you are. If you'll recall, you hired private counsel before you and I even discussed your case. And although one of my jobs is as a prosecutor, I am very careful to sort out and address any conflicts of interests. Simply working as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, in different jurisdictions, is not a conflict of interest. I'm sorry you felt the need to leave this review, but I hope things work out well with your case. Take care.

my favorite lawyer.

I've paid thousands of dollars for lawyers in the past, but not one of them came close to Zach. He honestly cared about you and your future and wanted to help you over come the obsticles you are now or you did in the past so you can move on with your life. I love you Zach!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
