About Zachary

Learn Zachary’s areas of practice.

5
Practice areas
  1. Divorce and separation
    30%
    The decision to divorce is one of the most important in your life. Done in the right way, divorce can lead to positive changes in your life. I work with clients to protect their children, their finances, and their futures.

  2. Adoption
    25%
    Adoption is one of the most beautiful things you can do to cement the family bonds that have grown without legal interaction. I help step-parents and non-step-parents complete the adoption process so that their family can be united under the law.

  3. Child custody
    20%
    Time is key to raising your children right. Every child needs their father and their mother to be in their life to grow into the adults they were meant to be.

  4. Wills and living wills
    15%

  5. Trusts
    10%

I became an attorney because I wanted to provide a better life for my family and help my community at the same time. Our core philosophy is that strength in the courtroom creates opportunities outside it for our clients.

With the help of my dad, I started Pacific Northwest Family Law to do just that in Washington State. We are building an incredible team of attorneys who are eager to win for their clients. Our offices are in the Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, and Spokane and we plan to open more offices.

We currently help clients in the following counties: Benton/Franklin, Spokane, Walla Walla, Columbia, Grant, Adams, Yakima, King, and Pierce counties. Families all over Washington State are finding success through our commitment to taking the unknown out of the family law process and helping clients understand their options, best strategies for achieving their goals, and ways to improve their relationships outside of the court process.

With a doctorate in Iberian and Latin American Cultures from Stanford University (yes, you can call me doctor) in addition to my legal training at Brigham Young University, I offer clients experience in clear-headed, practical thinking about ways to handle family crisis.

Good service
My wife and I were long overdue to get our Estate Planning put together. Nothing like a pandemic to get you motivated. Wasn’t sure where to start and all the documents we needed so I reached out to Zach Ashby at Pacific Northwest Family Law. Zach was super helpful and guided us through the process to make sure we had all the documents we needed for our family situation and the time of life we are in. He didn’t try to just rush us through the process. He was patient and answered all the questions we had no matter how off the wall they may have been. I highly recommend Zach Ashby and this firm to help you get your Living Will and other Estate documents in order.

Buen abogado
Anteriormente obtuve servicios con PNW Family Law en 2018 por un asunto de divorcio. Volví con ellos sobre el mismo asunto porque estaba muy contento con sus servicios. Son muy buenos para comunicarse con sus clientes y manejar sus casos. Son profesionales y luchan por ti. Tienen un personal increíble que habla español y son muy conocedores de la cultura mexicana.
