Trusted By

From Engineering to Legal Advocacy

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.

Zach Hansen did an amazing job helping us resolve our car accident bill. After over two years of trying to get a doctor paid, the team took the case and successfully got everything resolved. I would call them immediately next time. So amazing. Thank you.
