About Zachary A.
Zachary A. Chapman earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2008 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Wyoming College of Law in 2011. He moved from undergraduate studies in psychology and political science into law school after a period of directed study. The sequence gave him a grounding in both the behavioral and institutional sides of legal problems.
Chapman began his legal career in 2012 as an associate at Johnson Sauer Legal Group. He spent two years there before joining Johnson Marquez Legal Group in 2014. Those early roles were formative. He learned courtroom procedure, client intake, and practical case management. He handled matters that required steady preparation and attention to procedural detail.
In 2016 Chapman took an associate position at Modern Family Law. The firm’s name reflects its primary work, and his time there added a layer of direct client counseling and case negotiation to his experience. In 2018 he became a senior lawyer at Kearney, McWilliams & Davis, PLLC. The move marked a shift into a senior role with increased responsibility for case strategy and mentoring junior attorneys.
Chapman is admitted to practice in Colorado and Nebraska. He maintains memberships in the Colorado Bar Association and the Nebraska State Bar Association. Outside the bar associations he serves on the Board of Governors for AHEPA, a role that brings governance experience and connects him with community organizations beyond the law.
Colleagues describe him as steady and practical in how he approaches files. He favors clear timelines and client-centered explanations. His career path shows a steady progression from associate roles into senior-level work, and that trajectory has translated into a broader range of responsibilities at his current firm. He has balanced courtroom work and negotiated resolutions in matters that require both procedural knowledge and client-facing communication.
Chapman lives professionally between two state systems and brings that perspective to cross-jurisdictional issues. He keeps active in the two state bar associations where he is licensed and engages in professional governance through AHEPA. He is based at Kearney McWilliams Davis PLLC and handles cases in the states where he is admitted. He currently practices at Kearney McWilliams Davis PLLC, handling legal matters in Colorado and Nebraska.
