Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

Client X came to Zachar Law Firm after already having been turned down by 3 other law firms. Other firms saw client to be at fault, so declined representation. We accepted representation and ultimately settled the case for the maximum limits of three different insurance policies.

How did you build a successful practice?

Hard work. For 29 years, I have been up early and always the first one in the office. I take nothing for granted and work hard to get my clients the best results.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

For clients looking for a lawyer for an injury or wrongful death case, first look for EXPERIENCE. There are many pretenders out there. There are big advertising firms that are really only interested in settling your case and making money for themselves. Look for an AZ Certified Specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death. Of nearly 18,000 lawyers in AZ, there are only 122 Certified Specialists in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death. If you are represented by one of these, you can be assured that you have a good attorney on your side. I have been a Certified Specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death for more than 15 years.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

It can be extremely important. It just depends on the facts of the case.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

I have always provided free consultations for my clients, whether in person, by phone, by Zoom or Facetime. How we meet really depends upon what each client wants for his/her case.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

Primarily, all of the facts of the case and information regarding injuries.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

Zachar Law Firm cares. Zachar Law Firm files lawsuits, to get its clients the BEST results (few firms actually do this). Zachar Law Firm promises its clients that its fees will never be more than what the client gets.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

Getting a result for a client that another attorney or law firm declined. We are very good at this.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

My family, staying active, staying in shape and travel.

Are you involved in your community?

Yes. I volunteer for numerous charity organizations, and contribute to many
