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.
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!
