Zach is a true gem!! Not only is he brilliant, he is passionate, and doesn't leave a stone unturned. Partnered with his integrity and compassion, he is a force to be reckoned with. He also makes you feel secure and safe as you can put your trust in him. I am so glad he was my attorney in my legal battle.

Fantastic attorney. I can't recommend Zach enough.

I have had the special privilege of working with Zach Smith on many occasions over the past five years. The breakdown of a marriage is without a doubt, one of the most difficult and painful experiences in a person’s life. In addition to the highly emotional aspects of my divorce, there were many important legal and complex financial issues to consider. Zach’s thoughtful decision making and forward thinking advice helped get me through this very difficult time with confidence and success. He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided an objective assessment of the situation and worked to protect my rights and interests throughout this very emotional process. I can’t thank Zach enough for representing me in this matter and without hesitation, I would highly recommend Zach Smith to anyone who is facing a legal family challenge.

As an attorney myself and knowing my ex-husband was going to make the divorce a battle, I knew I had to be represented by the best. Plus, my ex owned a few businesses, which made my situation much more challenging. I did quite a bit of research before hiring Zach to represent me, and couldn’t be more impressed with him and his team! Zach is cooperative when it makes sense, and is very aggressive when necessary. He’s extremely strategic, always one step ahead, and a powerful opponent, yet also empathetic. He kept me informed, took the time to understand my needs, treated me as a friend, and helped calm my nerves during my toughest year. Zach fought hard for me and my kids, and went above and beyond 100% of the time to ensure a great outcome. #thankszach

Zachary and his team were exceptional in supporting and representing me during a particularly difficult divorce. Zach advocated for me on every level but was also direct and straightforward in communicating with me regarding expectations and through each step of what often felt like a never ending process. As these situations are always fraught with strong feelings, it meant a great deal to me to be heard and acknowledged during the most difficult moments one can experience. Because of his ability to maneuver through the emotions and legalities, I believe I ended up with the best possible solution under the circumstances. I have and will continue to recommend Zachary to anyone in need of legal representation.

I could not express enough how wonderful he was! Answered all my questions, did not talk over me, you can tell he really cares. This man is a class act all the way!

Zach’s representation came eight hearings and three months deep into a high-conflict divorce with complicated finances & unique employment circumstances. The difficulties were compounded by elements of addiction, mental illness and personality disorders. Despite these conditions the case was not going my way. It’s fair to say that I came to Zach in a deep hole. Due to this state of affairs, Zach was recommended to me by two of Cincinnati’s most highly regarded Family Law attorneys. One was family, the other’s fees far exceeded my means. They both assured me that Zach was brilliant, clever, resourceful, thought outside of the box & was extremely well versed on the law. In spite of having parents in the financial world, one a Broker, the other an Accountant, Zach’s understanding of current tax law, deadlines and pending governmental changes far surpassed our highest expectations. This only begins to describe his invaluable attributes. Zach proved to have a profound understand of people, their triggers, motivations and what made them tick. Zach used this skill to handle whatever was thrown our way. Zach was committed to helping me and my four children, even when this meant meeting at & communicating with our family Psychiatrist. His most notable quality is how measured of a man he is. He knew when to muscle up and when to wear kid gloves. He taught me that the bull is stronger, but the matador is smarter. Acting as a matador, Zach cultivated a plan that restored our lives.

I went to Zach with what started out as a simple case, but escalated very quickly with somewhat of a volatile opposing side. Zach was straight-forward and honest with me about all of the possible scenarios, timeline, and cost, and communicated only when necessary as to not exhaust or exceed (by too much) a bill that - depending on how things went - could have been very, very high. When it came time to make choices, he was careful to explain what he believed was in my best interest and why, as well as consequences on both sides. In an emotional moment of pressure, anxiety, and uncertainty, knowledge is power - and it is vital to have a clear-headed, educated person watching out for you, your children, and your peace of mind. Zach's forward-thinking, practical strategy enabled us to settle in court while simultaneously ensuring that I won't have to call him again anytime soon. But, if I do find myself in a position where I need a family attorney, I will 100% be reaching out to Zach.

Great Consultation - useful insight I needed some guidance on how to proceed 8 months into a difficult divorce. Zachary Smith took the time to provide insightful advice and clearly explain my options. Zachary cleared up any confusion I may have had going foreword with next steps.

I was referred to Zach by two friends of mine when i was seeking legal advice for a possible divorce. The moment I met him, I knew he was a good fit for me. He alleviated my concerns, and gave me the best options for my situation. I value integrity and honesty, and he has both. His fee is reasonable and he is prompt when returning phone calls and emails. He quickly resolved my divorce in the best possible resolution for me. I am in the unfortunate position to need his services again, post divorce decree. I value his services, and would never hesitate to return to him if problems arise. His current location is wonderful, with friendly, and helpful staff. He has reserved parking, which is a definite plus in Cincinnati. I highly recommend him.
