Four Years Later, Still Grateful – The Best Lawyer I Could Have Asked For

I cannot say enough good things about Chad, he is, without a doubt, the best lawyer I have ever worked with. After a long, exhausting journey with lawyers who didn’t listen, didn’t fight for me, and left me feeling unheard and unprotected, I reached a breaking point. I had no choice but to try repres...enting myself in court, and that’s when Chad stepped in, right there, in the courtroom, without hesitation. From that moment on, everything changed. Chad is the kind of lawyer who truly cares. From day one, he was honest, direct, and never gave me false hope or sugarcoated anything. But even in his straightforwardness, I always felt safe, supported, and at peace knowing he was in my corner. I was dealing with an incredibly difficult case—an abusive ex, a child to protect, and an uphill battle against someone who thrived on manipulation. But Chad heard me. He understood exactly what I was facing and made sure my voice was not just heard but truly mattered in that courtroom. He fought for us with everything he had, and in the end, we got exactly what we hoped for. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for him. I thank God for putting him in my path every single day. If you need a lawyer who will fight for you like no one else, who will truly listen, and who will stand by you when it feels like no one else will—Chad is the one you want. Absolutely amazing, and I will forever be grateful.

A Pragmatic Blessing

Chad was recommended by the opposing lawyer in my case as highly proficient, direct, yet has a sophisticated understanding of the nuances of a divorce that ideally would be cooperative. His schedule was so very full, yet he was able to work with me, was very clear on boundaries and expectations I s...hould have of him and the process. He was able to help reduce the emotionality of the situation for me. In the end the situation was resolved in a manner that was a much better than it was looking at the beginning. When necessary he can 'put on the gloves' but at the same time is pragmatic on when it is best to resolve through mediation and negotiation. An empathetic listener who always had clear next steps. Every time I stepped into the office, it felt professional and welcoming. Erin also did a great job and was always a few steps ahead to make things proceed smoothly and explained patiently when I had questions.

Longview’s finest family attorney

I came to my initial consultation mentally distraught and barely able to articulate my need of protection from a violent spouse and dissolve a toxic marriage. Through the process Chad was insightful, provided safe assurance, brought my story out, and fought for an equitable resolution. I’m grateful f...or the patience and support from his staff as well, as I navigated through one of the darkest seasons of my life.

Chad helped me through a very difficult time and made sure I could start over.

Chad was reffered to me by a aqaintance as I was starting my long journey of a divorce process. He is point blank a no nonsense type personality - Gets the job done even if you dont understand his approach and see the whole picture. In the long run you will see he has your best interests at heart and... fights for you when the time comes. I worked mostly with his assistant until the final battle and the whole process ( Alot I didnt understand - Why this and not that but in the long run he was worth every penny I spent .) Without him I would be pennyless and on the street contributing to the homeless population. If you have a problem and need advice or a resolution to a situation you have no control over - Then give Chad and his team a chance to help you. Im sure you will not be disappointed, If he can go up againgst arrguably the best female lawyer in the area and him being arguably the best Male Lawyer in the area and comeout of it with my shirt still on my back and a chance to start over - I call that a WIN - Anyway you look at it- in these type situations -both parties loose one way or the other - Chad just made my loosing part of it eaisier to recoup from and start over. So for that Im am very greatfull. Without his guidance Im a positive everything would have came out alot differnt and my future would have been a huge question mark. Now I have a chance to start over and repair my life and for that I would have paid any amount but his rates were reasonable and was willing to work with you if need be, Overall if you need help don't hesitate to call Chad he will goto bat for you, win in the long run, and most likely everyone needs a pitch hitter once in a awhile and you can count on him to knock it out of the park when he finally gets up to bat. My situation was a very long process but in the long run he came through and thats all I could ask of him. He did what he set out to do. For that I am and will forever be greatful for his help in guiding me through this very stressful and nerve racking divorce process. All I can say is give him a call and if he agrees with your fight he will stand up and fight for you tooth and nail. You can't ask for anymore then that in this day and age.

CR 60 - Short notice - Awesome Representation

Chad jumped in after I was served with a CR 60 motion to reopen my divorce - My ex got an attorney and made a bunch of accusations without any substance and I had to go to court to defend myself. I came to Chad's office with a large amount of documentation drowning in the details. He took the mountai...n of detail and drill it down to the essence of the case. He was able to argue it clearly with the judge in a short time frame. His assistant Erin always quickly responded to my questions and we won the case. I will retain Chad if I ever have any issues that fall with in his area of practice. I would highly recommend his office when faced with any type of stressful family court issues.

"Chad Zandi is one of the best attorneys in Cowlitz county. He is intelligent, has excellent work product and is impressive in the court room. He is equally capable of mediating a case to completion or taking a case to trial. One of the things I like best about Chad is his ability to talk to clients and help them get to heart of what really matters in their case. I highly recommend Mr. Zandi."
