Zachary Storrs is a Remarkable Lawyer

I would definitely recommend Mr. Storrs to anyone in need of help in the criminal justice system. I met him almost six years ago while sitting in jail, unsure of what my future held. I was coming off of drugs and facing some serious prison time. The one thing that stood out to me the most, is the way... he never judged me. From the moment we met he helped me way out all of my options. He was willing to fight for me and that meant the world to me. He took time out to speak with my family and helped me prepare for all of my court proceedings. He gave me several helpful ideas of useful things to do with my jail time to help my case. I was able to get advice on how to get all of my open charges taken care of at one time so that, I could try and put my past behind me. With all of Mr. Storrs hard work, he was able to get me a minimal plea agreement with the best possible outcome. This was a very hard time in my life and it was very comforting to have such an incredible Lawyer to help me through it. I am truly grateful to know Mr. Storrs.

Recommendation of Zach Storrs

I encourage anyone with criminal legal issues to retain Mr. Storrs to represent them. My daughter was facing substantial prison time for numerous drug charges. Mr. Storrs walked us through the entire legal process every step of the way, explained everything, and worked tirelessly on her case. In a...ddition to all the legal work Mr. Storrs was doing, he made recommendations of things that our family and friends could do that might help get her sentence reduced. I believe Mr. Storrs gave my daughter's case the same time and attention that he would give to one of his own family members if they were ever in trouble. The outcome of my daughter's case was the absolute best we ever could have hoped for. I hold Mr. Storrs in the highest esteem. Not only is he professional and very knowledgeable, he is a very kind individual who treats his clients as real people with real problems. Thank you, Mr. Storrs, for helping my daughter get her life back.

Great lawyer!

Was very pleased with my dealings with Zach, he kept me in the loop and knew everything and anything about how to deal with my DUI. He provided me with every route I could go and explained very clearly and thoroughly the process my long case had to go through. I felt like I could always reach him vi...a email or phone too. I will recommend him to anyone that has to go through the ugly process of a DUI

Zach kept me informed on my case in a timely matter. He was always able to answer any questions I had. I would with out question use Zach to represent me in the future. I have recommended him to family and friends that have needed a lawyer. Thank you Zach for clearing my name in court.

Posted by Scott | January 30, 2015 | Drug Crime

Family Attorney

Mr. Storrs was instrumental in getting my son's drug felony charges reduced to misdemeanors keeping him out of jail. This allowed us to get my son into a residential treatment center and has remained there for the last several months. I truly believe by keeping my son out of jail and the court syst...em, allowed him to get the treatment needed that saved his life. Mr. Storrs was extremely responsive and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Mr. Storrs.
