Felony DUI Defense

I hired Zach to free represent me when I was facing a DUI l, felony assault and eluding. Zach was professional and through in everything he did. He was always quick to communicate and in the end he did the impossible and had all my felonies removed and in the end only received a DUI. If you are facing a DUI there is no one else I would recommend.

Highly Recommend

Zachary Goytowski and his staff were an amazing resource during a difficult time. He reviewed my case with quickness and efficiency. Helped me, with ease, to understand my options and rights. He was thorough from the very start, and continued through my ruling. Easy to talk to and get ahold of. I will certainly be referring others to him!

Still riding the adrenaline rush of the win.

I wanted to take some time to really think about what I wanted to say before I wrote a review. I had never been in that situation before, having my attorney say hey... I don’t think you should take a deal. Most wouldn’t In these situations but I will fight for you. In the position of a public defender none the less. They are entirely overworked, have an enormous caseload, so much on their plates that the thought of piling more on to take a case to trial rather than taking the easier route and convincing their client to take a deal.... they are not all built alike. But this man went all out for me. And he will for you too. All five star reviews eased my mind at first but I had never been in that position before. Having them say, “we can take this all the way”. His confidence was unreal but I see why now. The night before court he asked me to come to the office to go over the last few things for the next day... and I walked in and immediately heard loud discussion upstairs. He had the entire office upstairs working with him, fighting for me???? Everyone there is amazing the woman downstairs made eased my worry and assured me Zach had many talented lawyers upstairs working with him towards what I was facing. DUI is no joke. I thought they circ*mstances surrounding the specific case wasn’t enough to book me on in the first place but I never expected anyone to fight for me like this. I was freaking out. Wenatchee isn’t even in a city Ive ever lived in....but they treated someone who lives three hours away no different than their own community. There we were in court, all day forced to wear masks, and he wiped the floor with them. Every single detail he had down...apparently stayed up all night going over every aspect of my arrest and what followed. I won’t bore anyone with the details of the case but I can’t explain enough how satisfying it was to watch him take everything said in the reports and what was on camera and get that jury to see the truth. That I was innocent of what they were accusing me of. I could have taken a deal. It would have been easier for him. He could have easily swayed me to take a deal and have a little extra time for himself I’m sure. I was so nervous and so unsure of myself and passed representation that I was ready to take a deal upon him first mentioning it. But he saw the truth, he saw that real justice could be done...... and he executed it perfectly. After every break we had I couldn’t help but look at him with my huge eyes saying “holy sh*t that was amazing!!!!” That jury was hung on every word, every detail, the truth. They came back with a not guilty verdict in like two minutes. That’s how good he relayed the case to them. That’s how well he proved his point, it was a slam dunk through and through. They all had their minds made up. And it was thanks to him. It would have been easy as hell to take the easier route. Mr Goytowski is nothing short of an amazing man and attorney. My life was seriously impacted in such an amazing way, I never imagined hearing those words. Not guilty. I’m still riding the adrenaline rush. Saying thank you isn’t enough, but he was all humble like “oh just doing my job” haha. Yes you are. And you are doing one hell of a job. We see you. Thank you.

Zach Goytowski was a great attorney! Changed my outlook on attorneys in Wenatchee valley! I highly recommend him!!

I was charged with my 2nd dui in less than a year and a half.. so the odds of it sticking were definitely not in my favor! Zach showed high interest in helping me anyways and even given the circ*mstances of the past dui didn't hesitate to offer to take on my case and defend me.. He then went over the police report and the facts of my case with very good attention to ever detail me.. If there is something in a case thats not right or could potentially help you he will find it! Also seemed like he always had a backup plan if something didn't go in my favor. Hes an attorney thats not afraid to take a case to trial.. He ended up get my dui amended down to a reckless driving even with my prior and given other circ*mstances not in my favor! Long story short Zach was a great attorney and showed high interest in helping and a sense of care to do so! I highly recommend attorney Zachary Goytowski!Thank you Zach

Good Guy, Even Better Lawyer

Zack told me right away how he was willing to go to trial and fight for me in my case. He was straight up with me and I was able to get in communication with him at anytime during my case. He's a good guy and am glad I picked him as my lawyer and would do it again without any doubt. If he didn't get me such a good deal I was 100% ready for him to win my case in trial. If you need defense call him right away.

Hire Him !!!

He will fight for you and not give into the prosecutors. I was in the right and the prosecutor wanted to throw the book at me.Mr. Goytowski was able to get a better than favorable outcome. His hard work and do diligence pays off. His rates are WAY less than the big names in town. I had hired 2 of the big names and was disappointed.If you want honesty, integrity and a fighter... hire Zack!!!!!

Michael Bradford

Criminal defense Attorney | Jan 28Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have been opposing counsel against Zach in several criminal cases. He is a strong advocate for his clients and is professional and prepared in negotiating cases and in court. I endorse this lawyer."

Ruvim Kuznetsov

Criminal defense Attorney | Jan 28Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have not worked with any criminal defense attorney that has in the same time frame achieved as many favorable results for his clients as Mr. Goytowski. Even during my time with him in law school Mr. Goytowski exhibited exceptional trial and negotiating skills, which are clearly evident in his practice today. When you are in trouble, you need to be confident that your attorney is comfortable with going to trial if it is necessary for your best interests. Mr. Goytowski is that attorney, with record setting dismissal rates and successful trial results to prove it. I would recommend this attorney."

Robert Gower

Criminal defense Attorney | Jan 26Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Goytowski works hard for his clients and is a real fighter. When you are charged with a crime, you need a fighter. Mr. Goytowski is also racking up some impressive results at trial in his young career. I am happy to endorse Mr. Goytowski."

"I would highly recommend Zach to any person seeking legal representation, not only in a criminal defense setting, but in any area of law requiring litigation. He truly cares for his clients and it shows in the courtroom. Zach will do everything in his power to get the best outcome for his clients. We worked side-by-side in numerous trial and negotiation competitions in law school, and I can personally attest to the amount of time Zach spends in preparation. His clients will always get the best possible representation, which is why I consult with Zach on any criminal issue that arises in my own civil law practice."

Andrew Kottkamp

Criminal defense Attorney | Jan 10Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I hired Zack in December 2016. It was his first full time legal position. He was hired to do criminal defense in district court. While he did receive some training from my partner, Zack picked up the law and procedure very quickly. More importantly for his clients, he got results. He has conducted many jury trials with favorable results. He listens to his clients and gives them the best defense possible. Remember, many of his clients are guilty, but he has an excellent relationship with the prosecutor's office and the judges and is able to get his clients very good plea deals. We are very happy to have Zack working for us and representing our clients."
