Zachary Stern went above and beyond in my case. He had passion in my case and felt like he truly cared about what happened to me and my life. I was found NOT GUILTY on two felony charges after the jury deliberated for a total six minutes. Zack did a wonderful job of easing my fears and I cannot thank him enough for the passion and drive he put into my defense. It was worth the several thousands of dollars to have him as my legal representation. If you need legal counsel for any criminal matter Zack is the guy for you! Thanks to Zack I have my freedom!

Criminally Negligent Homicide
Zack was great. He was honest, hardworking and committed to the case and all our questions. We communicated often and he was responsive to our calls and questions. His team was supportive, and we felt like he walked us through every step of the process. His legal knowledge is quick and thorough. Zack sees clients at their worst, most vulnerable time. He was aware of that and patient, yet still firm with timelines. Zack facilitated a plea deal beyond what we expected.

P.V. On A Strangulation Case
I recently hired Zack for a second time to help me out in a P.V. related to my first count of strangulation. My outcome wasn’t looking to good when the D.A. came in swinging but Zack's name in a court room not only holds its weight in gold, but he also stood his and my ground and currently I am a free man. Every penny spent was well worth it. Not only did he make me feel taken care of but treated me with respect and not as the common criminal that most lawyers will do. I highly recommend him to everyone I know.
