That dedication continued to shine through when he graduated from Northern Illinois University (NIU) in just three and a half short years double majoring in Political Science and Philosophy. From there, Zachary went on to earn his J.D. at Chicago Kent College of Law successfully in 2016. We are proud to have him on our team of Lawyers in Chicago.
