Zachary Sempers was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.. Zachary chose to go into employment law on behalf of employees based on his own experience in his previous career as a software engineer. Shortly before starting his employment law practice, he had an employer who would not pay him his wages. Although it was only two weeks' wages, wage theft is wage theft. While he knew he couldn't personally make his employer pay his wages, he knew that the law could, either through the Labor Commissioner's office or the Courts. So began his journey from software engineer to Workers' rights attorney.

Prior to going to law school I worked for an insurance company in the claims department.  I handled in excess of 3000 claims for personal injury during that time.  After passing the Bar I continued to work for the insurance company as an attorney.  I know what the insurance companies like, don't like, how they will treat you and what they will do. I also know what they fear.. I am always available to talk about your case.  I also know that most accident victims do not need an attorney.  I have always hated it when an attorney takes on a case just to make more money than the client.  I have helped many, many accident victims pursue their claims against an insurance company without taking a penny.  Some will need an attorney to avoid being screwed by the insurance companies, but most do not.. I am a father of five children and I know I would not want anyone to take advantage of my kids, family or friends.  Call me if you have any questions.

Married to my law school sweetheart, I live with my husband and our three delightful daughters in Ventura County.  When not consulting with clients or home schooling my daughters, you can find me doting on my two beautiful standard poodles or volunteering with my entire family at a Christian Legal Aid clinic.. I began my legal career as a business litigator, representing large corporate clients after graduating from the UCLA School of Law in 1999.  Motherhood, as well as my heart for families and our diverse community inspired me, however, to transition my practice to estate planning.  I now devote myself to providing clear and compassionate legal counsel, in both English and Spanish, to clients desiring to protect their legacies for the sake of their loved ones.. An estate plan not only provides for the disposition of one’s assets upon passing, but perhaps more importantly, also nominates guardians for one’s minor children in the event of an untimely death.  Advanced health care directives, powers of attorney, and revocable trusts also protect one and one’s family in the event of incapacity.. Do not allow a court to make deeply personal, life-altering decisions for your loved ones through blind enforcement of intestacy laws, unintended guardianship decrees, and costly probate proceedings.  Though you may have passed on, your spouse, children and heirs could be left behind with significant costs, burdens, and court orders that you never intended for them.. If you need to prepare your estate plan or to update your current estate plan, I encourage you to wait no longer.  Please call me.  I would love to help protect your legacy.
