The Washington State Bar Association has presented real estate attorney Zachary Stoumbos with the Local Hero Award in recognition of his volunteerism and exceptional professionalism as a lawyer and mentor in Clark County. Zach has practiced in the legal field for over 45 years–joining Landerholm in 1987 after being admitted to the Washington State Bar Association ten years prior–and is recognized for his skill in litigation and transaction work. He is considered a go-to attorney on real estate matters and, according to his nomination, is also known for mentoring and tutoring young lawyers. Zach has served as a volunteer for Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program for much of his career and as a board member for the Clark County Association of REALTORS®, where he earned multiple volunteer-of-the-year awards.

“For more than four decades, Zach has built a name for himself as a leader and mentor in the Vancouver area legal community. His dedication to the legal profession and his community are an inspiration to generations of lawyers who follow in his footsteps.”

– Daniel Clark, WSBA President

“Perhaps the most impactful way Zach has influenced the legal community is as a mentor and role model. Zach has always come at issues or problems as a learner and in turn teaches others what he has learned. He is eager to share what he has learned and his experiences with other attorneys and takes every opportunity to expand his knowledge base.”

– Jean McCoy, Landerholm, P.S. colleague and WSBA member

Congratulations, Zach!
