Zachary S. Shewmaker

Zach has been practicing law since 2006. He earned a Juris Doctor with honors from the University of Georgia School of Law, then he joined a law firm in Buckhead.

Zach spent his first seven years practicing law as a defense attorney representing truck drivers, trucking companies, and insurance companies in complex catastrophic injury cases.

“I learned all of the tricks insurance companies use to avoid paying full and fair compensation to injured parties. My defense experience made me realize I was on the wrong side of justice.”

In 2013, Zach became a personal injury trial lawyer. He changed his career to fight for the seriously injured and families who have lost loved ones due to the wrongful acts or omissions of others. During this time Zach has been named by Super Lawyers Magazine as one of Georgia’s “Rising Stars” in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and as one of Georgia’s “Super Lawyers” every year since.

“Insurance companies put profits over people. I put people first. I represent each client the way I would represent a family member. I work tirelessly to maximize the recovery for every client so that wrongdoers are held accountable for their actions.”
