Testimonials

What Client Say

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 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!

Kari H. Bellevue, WA

I had an accident in the summer of 2024, and Wattel & York seriously made the whole process so easy. Mari Jo (the paralegal case manager) and Zach, one of the partners, were truly amazing. They kept me updated, answered all my questions, gave me great advice, were accommodating, and just made everything way less stressful. Super professional and really great people. I’d recommend them 1000% to anyone who needs is seeking their services, don’t even think twice!
