About Zachary P
Zachary P Hummer built a foundation in numbers before he went to law school. He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and accounting from Washington State University in 2007. He then attended Gonzaga University School of Law, completing his J.D. in 2010.
After law school, Hummer entered private practice and has worked in Washington for his legal career. He is admitted to practice in the state of Washington and maintains memberships in professional associations. Those affiliations have kept him connected to peers and developments in state law.
Hummer’s academic background in finance and accounting shapes the way he approaches legal work. He tends to emphasize clear analysis of financial records and practical assessments of business problems. Colleagues and clients have noted his ability to translate numbers into legal strategy, which can be useful in business disputes, transactional matters, and other cases that require careful financial evaluation.
His practice has involved both transactional and contested matters, where attention to detail and document review are often decisive. He has experience drafting agreements, advising clients on contractual obligations, and participating in negotiations. When disputes arise, he applies a methodical approach to discovery and evidence, often drawing on his accounting training to organize financial data for use in litigation or settlement discussions.
Hummer also spends time on client counseling. He helps business owners and individuals understand the legal and financial consequences of their decisions. That aspect of his work calls for plainspoken explanations, a steady view of risk, and setting realistic expectations about costs and timelines. He has worked with clients across a range of industries, and he structures his advice around the practical needs of each matter.
Today he practices at Hummer Boyd PLLC. His work continues to combine legal analysis with financial literacy, addressing business and financial matters for clients in Washington.
