About Rosemary
Rosemary Zook trained as a lawyer after completing a liberal arts degree and a law degree. She earned a B.A. in English from Nipissing University in 2003 and a J.D. from Western New England University School of Law in 2008. Those years shaped the subjects she would return to in practice and the professional circles she joined.
Her early work included a law clerkship in 2006 for Jonathan R. Goldsmith, Equire, where she gained courtroom and research exposure. After finishing law school she moved into practice. In 2008 she began working as a lawyer at Todd Trierweiler & Associates. That role gave her front-line experience handling client matters and learning the practical rhythm of litigation and transactional work. By 2015 she was listed as a lawyer at Hackett Law Office, LLC, a position that extended her hands-on experience in client representation.
Zook’s professional interests settled around bankruptcy matters and consumer work. She joined the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys in 2010 and has maintained that affiliation. She has also been a member of an editorial board since 2010, contributing to the profession’s discussions in print and online forums. Locally, she has been active in the Multnomah County Bar Association since 2008, attending meetings and participating in bar activities that connect practitioners across practice areas.
Her career path shows steady movement through roles that build practical legal skill. The clerkship introduced her to case preparation. Early practice gave her a client-facing orientation. Later positions broadened her exposure to bankruptcy practice and related consumer law issues. Colleagues describe her work style as methodical. She prefers careful preparation and clear explanation when working with people facing financial distress.
Zook currently practices under names associated with bankruptcy services in the Portland metro area, listing offices in Beaverton and Vancouver.
