About
Hi, I’m Zach. I take pride in explaining technical legal concepts in ways ordinary people can understand. I assist clients in Utah with wills and trusts, Medicaid and VA benefit planning. I also help families navigate the probate process.
I enjoy helping clients qualify for VA and Medicaid benefits to help pay for the high cost of long-term care. My favorite client was my own grandfather, a World War II Navy veteran who ran a local grocery store and had a modest retirement. He was so happy to qualify for VA benefits.
Clients can expect me to return their phone calls and explain things in a way they can understand.
Why practice law
I enjoy simplifying the law for people and returning their phone calls.
Fun fact
As a child, I played at the home of Audrey Hepburn. I enjoy hiking, skiing and camping in the beautiful mountains of Utah with my wife, four children and bulldog named Sophie.
