About Zachary R.
Zachary R. Pancoast combines steady preparation with steady work. He built his legal foundation at DePauw University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in 1997. He then moved to Saint Louis University School of Law and received his J.D. in 2000. Those years provided classroom training and the early practical experiences that shaped his approach to practice.
After completing law school, Pancoast entered practice and has worked in the St. Louis legal community for more than two decades. He is an attorney at Tapella & Eberspacher LLC. Over the years he has handled matters that require attention to detail and disciplined client communication. Colleagues and clients describe him as methodical and direct in the way he manages casework and courtroom preparation.
Pancoast’s work blends litigation tasks with client counseling. He prepares filings, argues motions and meets regularly with clients to outline options and next steps. He also spends time on research and document drafting. Those duties keep him engaged with both the procedural and substantive sides of cases.
His practice is regional. He maintains offices in the St. Louis area and in O’Fallon, Illinois. That arrangement allows him to appear in local courts and to meet clients across a wider geographic area. It also means he is familiar with courthouse procedures and calendar rhythms in the region.
Outside of casework, Pancoast’s background reflects steady involvement in the everyday demands of legal practice. He draws on his law school training and years of courtroom experience when preparing witnesses and negotiating schedules. He focuses on clarity in client communications and on practical planning for each matter.
He continues to practice at Tapella & Eberspacher LLC, operating from offices in the St. Louis metro area and O’Fallon, Illinois, where he focuses on serving clients in the region.
