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.

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.

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.

Excellent attorney

Chad handled five cases for me over the course of several years. It was a long messy ordeal for all but one of those cases. I’m talking 3rd party non parental custody, a divorce, and an adoption! There was a lot going on and Chad handled it all with compassion, respect, and humor when needed. There w...ere times it was definitely needed! In court he was pure skill and knowledge. I was amazed at his level of composure even under the most absurd accusations the opposing parties came up with. Chad made sure I understood each step he took, made me feel like my cases were of the utmost importance(even though he had a full schedule at all times) would even return calls on weekends if he had to. When I yet again needed an attorney, I was disappointed that Chad was booked solid but so appreciated that he took the time to talk to me personally and guide me to someone he knew and trusted.

Excellent Lawyer

Chad came highly recommended to me from a friend who had received excellent representation from him. I was facing issues with an ex who repeatedly violated the parenting plan and tried to bully everyone involved, including my previous lawyer and her staff. Chad was to the point, listened to my conc...erns and issues that I was currently facing and explained to me exactly what my options were. In court he was concise and accurate and simply got the job done. I highly recommend Chad. Although I hope to never be in a position to need him again, if the ex goes off the deep end again, I know exactly who to call. I found him to be very professional and honest, qualities hard to find in a lawyer!

"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."
