Before joining the firm, Zach practiced law for four years in Western Pennsylvania, where he gained broad experience in civil litigation. His practice included representing clients in disputes involving real estate, landlord-tenant issues, breach of contract, and other complex matters.

Zach draws on this background daily, combining litigation perspective with a proactive approach to transactional work and advocacy.

Zach earned his Juris Doctor from Duquesne University School of Law in 2018. During law school, he served as a judicial intern for the Honorable Michael F.
