Attorney Profile

Zachary C. Cole, Esq.

“Our work is about more than winning cases. It’s about restoring hope, dignity, and opportunity to the people who trust us.”

Managing Partner | Personal Injury Attorney | Community Advocate

At Probinsky, Cole & Usquelis, Zachary C. Cole represents injured clients across Florida with strength, strategy, and genuine compassion. As Managing Partner, Zac focuses on complex personal injury cases — including catastrophic injuries, truck accidents, workplace injuries, and wrongful death claims — helping families rebuild after life-changing events.



For Zac, the law is not just about winning cases. It’s about restoring dignity, security, and opportunity for the people who trust him.

A Personal Understanding of Catastrophic Injury

Years before becoming an attorney, Zac experienced a severe spinal injury that required spinal fusion surgery. That life-altering experience shaped his perspective forever.


He understands the physical pain.
He understands the uncertainty.
He understands the long road to recovery.



This firsthand experience gives Zac a rare authenticity in the courtroom. When he speaks to juries and insurance companies about catastrophic injury, he does so not only as a trial lawyer — but as someone who truly understands what his clients are facing.

Trial-Focused Injury Representation Across Florida

With over a decade of litigation and trial experience, Zac handles high-stakes injury cases throughout the state, including:


  • Truck and commercial vehicle accidents
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Workplace and agricultural injuries
  • Wrongful death claims
  • Negligent security cases
  • Severe auto accidents

He is particularly experienced in cases involving multiple defendants, corporate insurance carriers, and commercial entities — where aggressive defense teams are common.


Zac prepares every case as if it may go to trial. That preparation often leads to stronger settlements — and when trial is necessary, he is ready.

Leadership & Community Impact

As Managing Partner, Zac continues the humanitarian legacy established in 1994. His leadership reflects the firm’s core values:



Justice. Compassion. Community. Education. Legacy.


He has helped lead:


  • Hurricane and disaster relief efforts across Florida
  • Farmworker advocacy initiatives
  • Community outreach programs
  • Educational workshops for immigrant families

For Zac, advocacy doesn’t end at the courthouse doors.

Beyond The Courtroom

Outside of law, Zac finds balance and focus through his lifelong passion for the ocean. Inspired by his father, a marine biologist, he competes in outrigger canoe races across the country — including the renowned Maui to Molokai open-water race in Hawaii.

For Zac, paddling represents teamwork, discipline, and trust — the same principles that guide his approach to client representation.
