At Pathfinder Attorneys, you work directly with an attorney who provides clear, practical legal support in business law, estate planning, real estate, personal injury, civil disputes, and contract matters. Serving Beacon Hill and the greater Seattle area, legal help should be direct, honest, and easy to follow.
I grew up in Cortez, Colorado, near the Four Corners area, surrounded by rich culture and a strong sense of 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.
I later followed my passion for law and graduated from Seattle University School of Law. Over the years, I have gained experience in personal injury, business, and environmental law, helping clients find clear and practical solutions to complex legal challenges.
I opened this firm to help people of moderate means access quality legal representation across multiple practice areas. Outside of work, I enjoy music, hiking, kayaking, and spending time with my wife, two daughters, and our Scottish Terrier, Princess Leia.
At Pathfinder Attorneys, my goal is simple: to make quality legal services more accessible.
I founded Pathfinder Attorneys to help individuals and families, especially those with limited financial resources, obtain practical legal advice and representation when they need it most.
In addition to my work at Pathfinder Attorneys, I am also an attorney with Fiore Legal, Inc., where I represent clients in personal injury matters. If you contact me through this website, I will personally review your situation.
Regardless of which firm is appropriate, you will have a direct point of contact from the beginning and guidance toward the representation that best serves your interests.
Beacon Hill clients get individual attention on their specific property, family, or business situation, not a generic answer pulled from a template.
You always know exactly what stage your case is at and what happens next, without legal jargon getting in the way.
Real estate and construction knowledge that fits Beacon Hill's changing landscape, from ADU projects to property near the light rail corridor.
I am like an urgent care for your legal needs. An accident near the light rail station or a construction question about your Beacon Hill property should not require weeks of waiting for a response. Pathfinder Attorneys makes it easy to connect with a licensed attorney quickly, often within a day.
Whether you are planning your estate, forming a business, or navigating a real estate or civil matter, I am here to help you make confident decisions quickly.
I provide trusted, practical legal guidance when you need it most. Serving clients throughout Beacon Hill, including areas near the light rail station and Beacon Avenue South.
Every matter is handled with clear communication, fair pricing, and a genuine commitment to protecting your rights every step of the way.

Contract disagreements and personal claims among Beacon Hill residents are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or litigation as the situation requires.
Whether an injury happened near the light rail station or elsewhere in the neighborhood, every detail of the case is handled so recovery remains the focus.
Beacon Hill families are guided through wills, trusts, and probate with clarity at each stage of the process.
Beacon Hill has changed block by block over the past several years. Light rail brought new density to the neighborhood, and that has fueled a wave of ADU and DADU construction as homeowners look to add rental income or space for family. At the same time, increased pedestrian and transit traffic around the station has created its own set of accident related concerns.
I help Beacon Hill homeowners navigate the real estate and construction questions that come with adding a rental unit or renovating an existing property, and I represent residents injured in accidents around the neighborhood’s busier intersections and transit areas. Understanding how quickly this neighborhood is evolving helps me give advice that actually fits what is happening on the ground.
Results depend on each case’s specific facts. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
My clients love how I make complex legal matters simple and stress free. They trust me to protect their business and help it grow.
Zach has been handling personal injury cases for several years and has worked with some well known firms. He is accomplished, knows how to handle insurance companies, and gets strong results for his clients. He has trial experience and is not afraid to take matters to court. He is easy going and down to earth, but truly knows the law and how to win.
I had an accident in the summer of 2024, and the team made the entire process so easy from beginning to end. They kept me updated, answered all my questions, gave great advice, and made everything far less stressful. Super professional and genuinely great people. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking legal services.
