Terry Jones Zach

Henderson BORN and RAISED!!! I became a Criminal Defense Lawyer because I love helping the average person successfully navigate the criminal justice system. My areas of practice are Criminal Defense and Criminal Record Sealing. I am in court everyday, and for the last seventeen years I have practiced law in every jurisdiction throughout Clark County and the surrounding areas. Prior to starting my own law firm seven years ago, I worked as an Associate Attorney for the Law Offices of John J. Momot, and the Law Offices of Mueller, Hinds and Associates. I am always available to my clients, both after hours and on weekends, to answer questions.
