We are lucky to have him as a member of our community and as an advocate for fairness and justice. I have known Zach Zwerdling personally and professionally since 1994, and I can say without hesitation that he is the best trial lawyer in Humboldt County. Zach Zwerdling is the gold standard. Zach is one of the best, if not the best, plaintiff's personal injury attorneys in Eureka.
I have been on the other side of numerous cases with Zach for over 30 years. His ethics are of the highest caliber and he consistently gets maxmium value for the cases of his clients. Zach is clearly a tremendous lawyer, building on his own conscience and interest in the issues of the day, and I am pleased to call him a long-standing friend. I have known Zach for 60 years.
When my family and myself was involved in a terrible injury accident and I needed help, I called on Zach. He not only handled a very complicated legal mess, he showed unlimited compassion to all involved. I have known Zach Zwerdling since I started practicing law in our community over 20 years ago.

Firm Philosophy

One of the things I have always valued is justice.
When people say that the world isn't fair, my response is that's because we aren't trying hard enough to make it that way.
Our society works because as individuals we all have the right to seek justice in the courts of our communities.
Whether a person has to file a lawsuit to recover damages, or fight the charges against them at trial, having access to the courts is one of our most important rights.
When my new partner Zach Zwerdling initially approached me to join his practice, one of the first things he told me was that he had heard how dedicated I was to my job at the Public Defender's Office and wouldn't want to leave.

You have been arrested.
You are scared.
And the truth is, your fear is warranted.
The power of the government to arrest and convict can seem boundless.
In this stressful time, you need someone who is on your side.
Someone who knows the law, the system, and the parties that you are up against.
Someone who can help you understand the consequences, who can fight for your rights, and if necessary, can ultimately convey your side of the story to a jury of your peers.
Hiring a criminal defense attorney can seem intimidating.
