Great Attorney!

I consulted Zach on a recent case, I was more than pleased! He gave me great advice and I had my case resolved immediately! I would definitely recommend Zach if you are searching for a knowledgeable, reassuring, overall great attorney!

Honest, hardworking and reliable

Zach Storrs was my attorney for a pre-charge. Since the first time speaking to him over phone he made me feel relieved and I felt a large weight of stress lift off my shoulders. He is very knowledgeable at what he does. I recommend him 100%!!

Zach did a diligent job in my representation

Zach was a public Defender assigned to my case when we me met. Zak talked to the judge and got me the deal i was looking for, and very soon after started his private practice! even after he was no longer a public defender, Zach still to the time to help me with my case. i highly recommend Zach!!!

Replied last November 20, 2015

Until recently, a small part of my practice included a contract where I was hired to represent indigent clients. I enjoyed helping those who couldn't afford to hire an attorney. I always tried to treat them exactly how I treated the clients who hired me. Unfortunately, I became too busy with my practice to continue with this contract. Of course, this has allowed me to make myself even more accessible to my clients.

Best Lawyer Ever

If you have any problems and need an attorney Zach is the one to call. He goes beyond the call of duty for his clients. He knows the system inside and out and will help you come to terms and fully understand the situation at hand, guiding you through every step of the way. He is honest and fair and w...ill not judge you for anything you have done. He not only defends you while you are in court, but after you have been sentenced. He has helped me understand what I need to do to get the life I want and inspired me to change my ways. He also helped me tie my tie before sentencing because I didn't know how. What other attorney would do that. If there was a tv show that followed real lawyer's the subject would be Zach. I can say honestly that when I was in court I felt bad for every one else being sentenced before my cause their lawyers could not shine a light on the abilities of Zach. If you want the best deal you can get call Zach.

An excellant attorney

I contacted Zack before I was even charged. Zack was helpful from the very first phone call in calming the fear about the potential charges to come. He worked to lessen the possibility of more severe charges against me even before the prosecutor made a charging decision. I am convinced that his subtl...e contact with the prosecutors resulted in charges that were more palatable and I ended up with the best outcome in my case. Throughout the entire time, he was always there when needed either by phone, email or in person visits. It's hard to imagine going through a difficult and stressful case like mine without such a supportive and attentive attorney like Zack. He clearly cares about each and every client and is highly recommended.
