Excellent representation

Chad and his team were great and I would recommend him to any of my friends or family. He was quick to respond to my emails, as was Erin. I have a difficult time articulating my frustrations but he took the time to ask all the questions, read all of my lengthy emails, and understand where i was comin...g from. He's one of the more aggressive attorneys I've seen, which is exactly what I needed. He did an amazing job representing me. Billing was very reasonable and it was worth every penny!

Knowledgeable and easy to work with.

I heartily recommend Chad Zandi for anyone seeking a divorce. In my case I don’t feel like I would have done any better with anyone else. My circumstances were kind of unique, a long marriage with a very long separation. Despite this he was able to come up with the right strategy that allowed me t...o come out in much better shape than I thought possible. I felt comfortable working with Chad and his staff and always felt they were always willing to help me with any question or concern that I might have and explain it to me in a way I could understand.

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.

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.

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 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."
