A Spokane Valley tax preparer who advertises himself as an attorney and has been disbarred by two local tribal courts now faces a deceptive business practices complaint from the state Attorney General's Office. Zachary Love, listed as the owner of ZEL & Associates, faces three allegations of violating the Washington Consumer Protection Act by representing himself as an attorney, primarily practicing in tribal courts in the region. The complaint was filed Wednesday in Spokane County Superior Court and seeks to dissolve Love's business, as well as prevent him from appearing in the courtroom or representing clients on tax matters.
