Details

Zach Paul Dostart, a distinguished attorney at Dostart Hannink LLP in La Jolla (San Diego), California, masterfully navigates the intricate realms of litigation, taxation, nonprofits and class actions. With a robust background spanning nearly two decades, he is renowned for his prowess in complex corporate and class-action litigation. His exceptional contributions have not only earned him accolades from peers but also a specific commendation from U.S. District Judge William Alsup in a prominent 2020 legal battle.

Embarking on his legal journey in the corridors of a global investment bank in New York, Mr. Dostart later honed his prosecutorial skills at the San Diego County District Attorney’s office, tackling serious offenses with precision and empathy. His academic path is equally impressive, featuring a dual degree in law and business from Pepperdine University, complemented by a foundational B.S. in economics from California Polytechnic State University. His tenure as a managing editor of the Pepperdine Law Review and his active role in appellate advocacy underscore his deep engagement with legal scholarship.

What sets Mr. Dostart apart is his strategic acumen in securing monumental verdicts and settlements, notably exceeding $100 million and his pioneering leadership in steering multiple certified class actions to favorable judgments. His advocacy extends beyond the courtroom – he has passionately represented California consumers at the state capitol and generously contributes to the lacrosse community, military veterans and civil rights organizations.

In his illustrious career, Mr. Dostart has also made significant contributions through roles at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as a judicial extern to U.S. District Judge Dickran Tevrizian Jr. and through his scholarly pursuits at institutions including Harvard Law School. His accolades as a national All-American lacrosse player and his authorship of a book benefiting global charities speak volumes about a professional who not only excels in the legal field but also in his humanitarian efforts.
