Bio
Raphael Rashkin
I worked for Zachary as a law clerk after law school graduation. I was immediately given real responsibility and challenging projects to work on. Zachary didn't sugarcoat any assignments, but he was always available to give advice and guidance. I was only at Cantor Law for a short time, but with Zachary I gained more real, practical lawyering experience than at other jobs where I worked three times as long. I highly recommend working for Cantor Law to any young lawyers or lawyers-to-be.
Russell Abeyratne
The enormous amount of research and information on my case was formidable. Zach took the time to truly become an expert. Frankly, I was amazed. He kept me totally in the loop, stayed strong and never let the opposing counsel intimidate him in any way. He makes his youth work FOR him. He also has an excellent "bedside manner". Zach got me the best possible outcome because of his hard work and dedication to my case. I wholeheartedly would refer him to my family and friends. Thanks Zach for a superb job done for me. Russ
