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. Zach 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 Zach is the guy for you! Thanks to Zach I have my freedom!!
Zachary is a beast definitly one of the best lawyers in town he is a one the best lawyers i ever seen in accion and really knows wat to do and knows his arguments never dought anything he told me or recomended me to do he really help me and because of. His really good skills i m back home with my kids and family if you believe in miracles believe in Zachary and let him get to work stand back and hope for the worst and he will bring you the best news in your life. I m free and happy home.
I recently hired Zach 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 Zach name in a court room not only holds its weight in gold, he 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.
Zach exceeded our expectations as a lawyer and helped our family out tremendously! My husband was unfortunately facing a 3rd DUII charge and looking at a felony, prison time and a lifetime revocation of his license but thanks to Zach and all his hard work and proper counsel my husband managed to only get charged with a misdemeanor, 8 days in jail, 3 years license suspension and bench probation. Talk about a win! We then had to move onto his PV charge (in a different county) he was facing 60 days and permanent revocation of probation and he managed to get 10 days and maintain his probation. He helped us out in two different counties (Lincoln and Clackamas) if you need a good lawyer that is well respected in the community and will fight for you then I highly recommend hiring Zach.
I was unfortunate enough to get myself brought up on Measure 11 Rob 2, Theft 1 and felony assault charges all totaling more years than I can fathom. Rather than risk everything on a lesser known, less experienced attorney my family pooled the funds and hired Zack. Almost immediately he was able knock down some of the stress we all faced having these charges hang over me. Over the months leading to the resolution and my constant fear of being sent to prison he went to every length to make sure we stayed in regular contact with any additional information as well as a plan for the upcoming dates and what to expect with each court hearing. Seeing him work made me more confident each time and in the end I had no jail time added besides my initial arrest and they dropped my felony charges to misdemeanors. I personally didn’t want to go to trial and I was very happy to stay out of prison and plea to misdemeanors without any felony charge. Very highly recommended I can’t imagine having dealt with this without him.
Zachary was awesome. He was always available for calls & questions whenever I had them. Very helpful at explaining the whole process and steps. Pricing was great for the amount of work he put in to help me with my case and getting the charges dropped! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
This man is the attorney you want if you want something done. I appreciate the work you did for me and my family, I would probably be on probation if it weren’t for your diligence and dedication
First, I would like to thank Zach Stern for all of his knowledge and continued support in my time in need. During the time of my incident, I was scared tremendously. It frightens me to think about how drastically my life could have been if it was not for Zach. Twenty-two years old facing 15 + years for a crime I did not commit would have been detrimental. I felt that I was up against a system that I would not beat on my own. It was my word against theirs and I would not win. Before retaining Zach’s services, I had been in contact with what I was told was one of the very best sex crime lawyers in Oregon. The moment I met with the other individual it was evident that they were only interested in the money, not my outcome. On the third phone call I had with him, he told me he was not going to answer any more of my questions until I put 8.5k upfront. I was lost and did not know what to do. Thankfully, I got Zach’s information and from the very beginning, he treated me with professionalism and respect. He knew my worries regarding my case, finances, and the state of my mental health. After a long conversation of me explaining my side of the story to him, we began to discuss possible outcomes. He let me know not to worry so much about the financial pieces just yet; we could set-up a meeting so we can figure things out. He was 110% honest! We set up a fund account and he went straight to work. I am thankful I had family and friends in my corner to help financially. Retaining his services was not cheap, but neither was the service his firm provided. I can honestly say I got what I paid for. I was fortunate enough to be represented by someone who was committed and dedicated to my case. He was in constant contact with me and always on top of his work. I cannot thank him enough for what he did for my loved ones and ultimately, me. The case against me was dismissed and everything will be cleared from my record. Again, I express full gratitude in Mr. Stern and his services. He is truly the best at what he does and this is my testimony to prove it.
After calling multiple attorneys and feeling like a POS after saying my charge (Crim. Mistreatment felony and Recklessly endangering a Minor) Zack was the first attorney to not completely destroy of my feeling of self worth and hope of fighting this. Almost 2 years of fighting and after hiring him i continued to feel hopeful that I was going to get through this and never once lost confidence that he knew what he was doing. He was worth every dollar and I would hire him again and again if need be. He stayed on top of everything was never late to any court dates and was straight forward on what I was looking at and what options were best for me. Just had my final court and here I am still felony free and no Jail time. All thanks to this amazing lawyer!!!! He’s not cheap but you won’t regret hiring him.
Zach was great. He was honest, hard working 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. Zach sees clients at their worst, most vulnerable time. He was aware of that and patient, yet still firm with timelines. Zach facilitated a plea deal beyond what we expected.
