Numbers are a big part of any divorce, whether regarding property divisions, custody or support. With an MBA and a stint at one of the country's largest accounting firms, Zach is equally comfortable in matters of both law and business. He is a committed and compassionate advocate who counsels clients through the challenges of a divorce no matter what the numbers say. As he guides people through some of the most difficult times in their lives, there's one thing that drives Zach: knowing he helped make a difference.
When not working with clients, you'll likely find Zach with his family sharing with them his love for cooking and fine food. His favorite menu? Warm Northwest evenings, some fresh local ingredients, and a backyard barbecue. When Zach is not cooking, you will find him enjoying one of his other passions, golf.
