Trusted By

From Engineering to Legal Advocacy

I grew up in Cortez, Colorado, near the Four Corners area, surrounded by rich culture and community. After earning my degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder, I moved to Seattle to work as a Geotechnical Engineer on projects across the Puget Sound. Later, I followed my passion for law and graduated from Seattle University School of Law.

Over the years, I’ve gained experience in personal injury, business, and environmental law, helping clients find clear and practical solutions. I practice personal injury, and that I opened this firm to help people of moderate means with other legal issues. Outside of work, I enjoy music, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my wife, two daughters, and our Scottish Terrier, Princess Leia.

What Client Say

Our clients love how we make complex legal matters simple and stress-free. They trust us to protect their business and help it grow.

Zach has been handling personal injury cases for several years and has worked for some big-name firms. He is quite accomplished and knows how to handle insurance companies to get strong results for his clients. He also has trial experience and is not afraid to take matters to court to make sure his clients are properly taken care of. He is very easy-going and down-to-earth, but I would not want to go up against him in court because he truly knows the law and how to win.

Zach Hansen did an amazing job helping us with our car accident bill. After over 2 years of trying to get one of the Doctors paid, they took my case and were able to successfully get everything squared away. Next time I would call them immediately! So amazing. Thanks guys!
