Specific matters and outcomes, in counsel's own words.

DUI · Must-Hire on Every Case
Washington
“After 23 years of DUI work, I am pretty well versed in what to look for in a report, but when I got his work up, I was blown away. He spotted issues I had missed and cited all of his work. He did an extensive and well-detailed analysis of the videos and report and wrote up his findings in such a way that made it easy to use in negotiations. I was so impressed that I immediately hired him on many more cases, and his work has continued to blow me away. I now consider Mr. Marshall a must-hire on any DUI case.

Felony DUI · Not Guilty Verdict
Washington
“I brought Zach in on a felony DUI where the facts of the case weren't great. His breakdown of the SFSTs and body/dash camera footage totally dismantled the prosecution's case. The jury returned a not guilty verdict and multiple jurors cited his report in deliberations. His work is surgical.

DUI · Expert Testimony
California
“Zachary Marshall is a top-notch expert I was proud to have recommended to my client. Easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable (and I thought I knew it all), and highly effective at conveying the objective data to support his opinion. Will be recommending him to clients for the foreseeable future.
Benjamin Karabian·DUI Defense Attorney
Vehicular Homicide · Major Reduction
Washington
“Retained Legal Limit Consulting for a vehicular homicide case in which my client was in jail and facing a 10-year prison sentence if convicted of the charge. Legal Limit's work on the case contributed to a significant reduction in the charge which resulted in a 9-month jail sentence. Needless to say, my client was incredibly relieved at the outcome, and I would recommend Legal Limit Consulting wholeheartedly.
Nicholas Blount·Public Defender
DUI · Two Cases Dismissed
Idaho
“Legal Limit Consulting was able to provide DRE analysis in a DUI matter for which I was defense counsel. Their rates were fair, their analysis was thorough, and they were very responsive in their communication with us. It is my opinion that it was their services that led to a full dismissal of the DUI charge in the aforementioned DUI matter. I will be utilizing them again in the future.
Update — September 2026

“My firm obtained another full report from Legal Limit which was provided to the state in advance of trial. Again, the prosecutor opted to fully dismiss the charge of DUI against my client. In both cases these reports were instrumental in mounting a robust and effective defense which allowed for us to defend the interests of my clients.”

Sam Harrich·Criminal Defense Attorney
DUI · Strategic Defense Asset
West Coast
“I've worked with a lot of experts over the years, but Zach is in a different category. His reports aren't just detailed, they're tactical. Every line is backed by authoritative sources and framed to actually move the needle. He's become an essential part of my defense strategy.

Complex DUI · Favorable Resolution
Washington
“Zach's assistance in a recent complex DUI case was invaluable. His analysis and insight in NHTSA standards, DRE protocols, and DUI toxicology helped break a negotiation stalemate with the prosecutor, acquire a more favorable offer for negotiated resolution, and persuade my client of its merits. He communicates clearly and promptly. Highly recommend!
Greg Dixon·Public Defender
DUI · DOL Hearing Win
Washington
“I use Zach and Legal Limit Consulting on most of my DUI cases. He examined one recently and found big issues. I had him testify in the corresponding Department of Licensing hearing. We won that hearing in large part due to his testimony. Thanks, Zach!
Tony Swartz·DUI Defense Attorney
DUI · Translator of Complex Investigations
“Zachary's background as a DRE and former officer gives him a credibility most experts can't touch. But what really sets him apart is how he translates complex investigations into clear, courtroom-ready insights. Judges listen. Prosecutors listen. And results follow.

DUI · Evidentiary Blood Protocol Issue
Michigan
“The consultant's memos were exceptionally detailed and clearly the work of someone deeply trained in DUI defense. He identified an issue I had missed regarding evidentiary blood protocol, a trial-relevant flaw that could prove critical. His mitigation summary was persuasive and immediately useful in discussions with the prosecution.

DUI · Dismissal at Trial Track

Criminal Matter · Successful Defense
Washington
“Zach consulted my firm on a criminal case. He found something I had never thought of and it ended up being one of the most important aspects of the successful defense. We were very impressed by what he was able to contribute.
Zachary Robinson·Defense Attorney
Contested Pretrial · Hearing Support
Minnesota
“I'm a criminal defense attorney in Minnesota. My client hired Zach for a contested pretrial and he was fantastic. Not only was he well prepared, but he was more than willing to spend extra time helping me understand the issues. By the time the hearing date came, I was confident and prepared with our argument. He is worth every penny!
Alec Duffy·Criminal Defense Attorney
DUI · Client-Side Perspective
“When I shared the case evaluation with my attorney, it completely shifted the tone of my case. My lawyer actually sat down to write me a full email, for the first time, just to say how impressed he was with the memos. Mr. Marshall found a flaw in the blood collection process my attorney hadn't noticed himself. We also used the mitigation memo in negotiations the same day. I can't thank Zach enough.

DUI · DMV Suspension Set Aside
California
“I hired Zachary Marshall at Legal Limit Consulting to review the evidence in my DUI case, and it was one of the best decisions I made in the entire process. His written evaluation was meticulous, objective, and grounded in deep expertise.But where he truly proved his worth was testifying at my DMV hearing. Zach's expert testimony was a decisive factor in my suspension being set aside. He walked through the footage frame by frame, explained exactly what proper police procedure requires, and identified the specific failures in my case — clearly, credibly, and without ever overstating a single point.Beyond the expertise, Zach was responsive, straightforward, and genuinely invested in the outcome. His report was also instrumental in the resolution of my criminal case.
