By far the worst legal experience imaginable. If you are ever assigned them as a public defender do everything in your power to not have Mr. Lotskar or Deweirdt involved at any point and honestly I would ask for another law firm all together. These are the public defenders that are way to friendly with the prosecution and seem to advise clients in a way that benefits prosecution. They are extremely dense in terms of understanding what actual life is like for human beings outside of the court room after a decision has been made. They just want to process you and get you off of their books. By far the worst law firm I have ever worked with.

I hired Andrew May at Envision Family Law after interviewing several attorneys. He was rated very highly on the Super Lawyer website and Andrew has lived up to all his reviews. He is highly skilled, precise, and most importantly Andrew is very ethical and his integrity.

Chellie Anderson has been an absolute cornerstone in my experience with legal support, working alongside attorney Joshua Bruner with a level of expertise and reliability that's both impressive and deeply reassuring. She feels like a second lawyer on the legal team.
Since taking over for Donna, Chellie has been incredibly prompt, utterly professional, and someone who embodies the highest standards of what top-of-the-line legal assistance should be. If you'll click over to read my review of Donna, you'll see that replacing her was an incredibly high bar to live up to. Chellie's success in matching Donna's performance as a paralegal to Joshua Bruner makes me wonder if it isn't the strength of the paralegal team, and not the attorneys, at Envision Family Law that makes the firm so successful.
That isn't to knock attorney Joshua Bruner, who has been nothing short of magnificent. Flawless. Compelling. Powerful. An expert crafter of legal writing, interviewer, and declaration writer.
And deeply empathic to boot. He's been beyond-the-beyond good.
It's just that, in settling on Envision, we interviewed countless other firms, including all the top firms in Washington, and even paid an $8000 retainer at one, only to have it completely refunded because of the sheer complexity of our case. We experienced countless paralegal's assistance and communication through that process.
EACH of the paralegals we worked with at Envision - Donna & Chellie - are an order of magnitude better than ANY of the dozen paralegals we worked with at other firms.
Chellie's approach isn't just about being thorough - and she is remarkably thorough - it's about bringing a personal understanding to her work that genuinely makes a difference.
Josh trusts Chellie implicitly, and it's easy to see why. Her capacity to handle complex legal tasks with a calm and efficient demeanor has not only won my complete trust but also my respect. She operates with a clarity and precision that ensures everything is managed smoothly, which is something I've come to rely on.
What stands out to me about Chellie is not just her professionalism but also her genuine dedication to her clients. She responds quickly, making sure that I'm always in the loop and fully informed, while respecting our budget. This level of communication and care is something I've found to be exceptional. Chellie doesn't just meet the high standards set by the legal profession; she surpasses them, making the often daunting world of legal proceedings far more navigable and less stressful.
Working with Chellie, I've felt a strong sense of confidence in our ongoing legal matters. Her ability to work seamlessly with Joshua Bruner enhances their legal services tremendously, providing a level of support that I truly value. It's not just about the legal tasks at hand. It's about knowing there's someone as capable as Chellie looking out for your best interests, while you're out taking care of your own business and family matters.
For anyone in need of exceptional legal support, my experience says you'll be in very good hands with Chellie. She very obviously enhances the effectiveness of an already powerhouse attorney in Joshua Bruner.
Now having more than 6 months of experience with Envision, Chellie, Donna, and Bruner, I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who has to go against them in court. They are by FAR the most prepared - and talented - legal team in the courtroom, every single time. It's not even close. If you need a legal team that is going to win, even when they "shouldn't," I currently put my money - literally - on Envision, because of industry-leading performance by paralegal's like Chellie. That performance appears to just be par for the course for all parties at Envision. Deeply impressive. Easiest 5-star review ever.

Jacey, Stephen, and Allison were the best Attorneys I have ever worked with. They were professional and went above and beyond what they had to do for my case. I felt like part of the family. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone. I wish I could give six stars on here.

Vicki Orrico at JMMK helped me navigate a street improvement/right of way issue with the city of Kirkland, including reviewing documents and negotiating with the city attorney. She was incredibly responsive and efficient. Thanks to Vicki, we found a solution all parties were happy with for much less money than expected.

Going thru a divorce is a very taxing process. Kiona was upfront and informative from day 1. She really took the time to understand what my biggest concerns and priorities were. She made sure to promptly respond to any of my off the wall questions and never made the process feel as daunting as it did when I came to her. I appreciate her time, professionalism and genuine care for helping me thru one of my biggest life events.

We are so thankful we found Kiona Gallup after having different family law representation. Kiona is effective and thorough. She listens, treats clients with the utmost respect and honestly advises whether it makes sense to take legal action or not in a given scenario. Our family law matters took place in King County's Kent Justice Center where Kiona has much valuable experience with various commissioners and judges.

My family has had the pleasure of working with Kode Law Firm and was handled by Dey. Dey took good care of my husband when he got into a horrible collision by a drunk driver. Our experience with both the Law Firm and Dey have been amazing and super helpful as things like this can be complicated and hard to navigate but things were handled very professionally and were taken care of. I highly recommend to anyone who is need of a good Law Firm. In my opinion they are the best out there and are head on and fierce when it comes to settling and getting things done.

This law firm helped me so much so that I did not have to stress during a trying time. They were proactive and always followed up with the next steps. They were very helpful and I never had any unanswered questions either. They made the whole process stress free and my case was resolved in a timely manner. This firm also was able to effectually have me reimbursed for all my expenses and losses much more so than had I gone through this process alone.

Amelia did her best to review the case, keep me informed, write the motions, come prepared and fight hard in court. Unfortunately, despite her efforts, the judge found that I committed the infraction.

I was cited with negligent driving, 2nd degree, and lack of proof of insurance, and I was assigned to Ms. Champion through Callahan Law. Everyone in the staff including Ms. Champion were very friendly and supportive. Ms. Champion explained her prospective strategy for the case both before I hired her and also prior to the case when the discovery was made available. I could tell from both encounters that she was very knowledgable and would present a well thought-out and effective case for my defense. I felt much more at ease after hiring her because I knew that I was in competent hands.
Ultimately she got my negligent driving 2nd degree charge dismissed, and had the proof of insurance charge reduced to the minimum fine. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Even if the case hadn't gone as well as it did, I would still be confident that Amelia fought hard and looked at all the options for my defense. Every case is different but I would recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.
I would also recommend Callahan Law in general as I spoke to several other staff members and were impressed with there knowledge base and willingness to help me understand the legal process and the ins and outs of my case.

For the past year I have been going through the Probate process after my dad’s passing. Diana and Josi at 360 have been absolutely invaluable in guiding me through this time. Initially it felt so overwhelming but Josi’s hand holding me through the entire time has been a God Send. Not on only a professional level, on a personal note, 360 Law Group has been so compassionate, understanding and truly helped me navigate the process, all the while helping me advocate on my own behalf to help keep legal fees down. It was an absolute pleasure to work as a team with 360 through this life experience. Highly recommend!! Professional, personable, thorough and their dogs are awesome 😊

TRASH COMPANY, STAY AWAY!!! After initial consultation everything looked great and I was ready to move forward. They said they would reach out with engagement letter. Took them three weeks to get back to me so I decided to read the reviews and man I was wrong. Apparently they work like a turtle very slow with nothing to show for. Just a BIG SCAM. After hearing from them 3 weeks later I told them I am not moving forward. Now 6 months after that email they send me an invoice for the consultation for $330 and expect me to pay even through they did not disclose the cost of the consultation or make it clear that there was a fee even. Won’t be paying it of course. If it takes them weeks to send a engagement letter for a customer moving forward imagine what it would look like them doing any work for you.

Very un-knowledgeable and led me down the wrong path. Told me this was a "non-alimony" state, and robbed me of any alimony I had coming. My ex had a retirement set up for us both, from a 20 year marriage, and told me I had to find another lawyer if I wanted to attempt to get any portion of the fund. I would never recommend him to anyone.

Attorney Phil Shucklin represented me on a difficult case. Phil was great to talk to and low key in the office, but definitive and solid in his representation. We did need to go to court on this case. His negotiation skills were amazing and he negotiated a very fair and good settlement in the case. Phil is a true professional.

Sarah is the smartest but attentive lawyer I’ve ever met. I’ve been around quite a few and none even come close to the way they handle cases, their knowledge of the law or their strong sense of fight. Sarah was always a step ahead of me and my ex husband, she knows past cases as precedent like the back of her hand and I couldn’t recommend her more.

When it comes to med mal attorneys, Dave is as knowledgeable and trustworthy as they come. He is not afraid to take on challenging cases and has tons of trial experience. He prices is contingency fees fairly and he is helpful to younger personal injury plaintiff attorneys who want to learn the trade, as evidenced by the Forensics course he co-taught at Seattle U School of Law. The day he retires will be a very sad day, indeed.

In April 2013 my wife called cops on me and I landed in jail on a Friday night. Kevin was contacted by my brother and he came to see me in jail and made me feel comfortable. He also secured my release on P.R. and I had an attorney at first appearance. Initially the redmond city prosecutor did not offer me plea deal because my wife was fully cooperating with them. However, Kevin stuck to his guns. After 6-8 months of protracted negotiations, he advised me to enter SOC. I thought we could be prosecutions case and prosecution thought they could prove their case, however; Kevin advised me to take a risk free approach and enter SOC. During this time my wife filed for divorce. I insisted that I be allowed to seek early dismissal after completion of SOC. After 8 months of protracted negotiations, even prosecutors didn't fight that. I completed my SOC in exactly 1 yr and 2 days. All throughout this time, prosecutor maintained a no contact order, hoping to catch me violating it. My divorce trial was barely 3-4 weeks away at the time of my SOC completion. I was able to convince the DV counselor at ABHC that i was not a threat to my wife, infact, I should never have been charged or made to go through DV class, then Kevin, Kevin moved lightening fast to seek dismissal of my case owing to early dismissal clause in SOC. He and I had to lean on the prosecutor and finally when it almost came to borderline of misconduct, the prosecutor after 1 week of service of proof of SOC completion, agreed to dismiss my case. About 2 weeks ahead of my divorce case, I got the dismissal order in my hand. All thanks and Kudos to Kevin. He is a true gentleman. He generally has good/civil relations with judges and prosecutors which certainly helped my case. In addition, he is extremely skilled at canvassing a witness and has tremendous people skills. Although we did not go to trial, I feel he gets a grasp of witness really quickly and will be a skilled cross examiner. He had really good idea of what my wife might say at trial and I had provided him with input on how to confront her. There was no other evidence against me except for her testimony, police statements and her cooperation with police and prosecutors. Kevin's conduct is also very ethical. There were other people whom he was defending had same court dates with me. Since I went to court almost 8-10 times, I saw Kevin's clients get much better deals than I had seen clients of other attorneys. I can assure you Kevin will get you a plea deal that will be in your best interest. I had told him, no conviction at any cost without a trial, not even on disorderly conduct and he accomplished just that an SOC, although everyone prefers complete dismissal. I believe this outcome was satisfactory and best achievable without a trial.

Kevin D. Tarvin was hired to defend me against the false charges of felony harassment filed by the known scam artist JC. His easy grace and inimitable integrity of character gave me confidence and insured the outcome of innocence on all counts. Tarvin kept me on track during an extremely stressful time after I was attacked by JC who filed her specious charges against me in an effort to cover for her alleged crime of fraud against me when it was discovered and consequently she was denied a legal document concerning my high end property, which she was attempting to rent in lieu of purchase. Tarvin also exposed the duplicitous nature of former attorneys Richard Llewellyn Jones and James W. Kovac who were both fired for gross negligence, incompetence and underhanded tactics. Through my investigations of JC I provided Tarvin with a five inch thick file indicating that JC had been involved with false accusations and criminal activity for numerous years against many other victims; the weight of this file alone was enough to make the compromised assistant district attorney, Julie Ann Mohr, drop her highly suspicious prosecution of me and the false charges were subsequently dismissed. Kevin informed me on two occasions that Jones/Kovac had compromised me; the first of which was when he had a conversation with Julie Mohr concerning the advances of Kovac /Jones to have me delivered up on a lesser charge of disorderly conduct instead of the felony harassment charge and again when he was approached by Jones who requested that Tarvin assist him in an upcoming mal-practice suit I'd filed against Jones; Tarvin refused Jones' entreaties. I was further charged, again falsely, for a violation of a no contact order by JC, but this time she had the willing efforts of two Kirkland Police Officers Jacob Thune and Christopher Packard who lifted language from an NCIC document rather than use the actual court order, of which I was falsely charged with violating. On this occasion the Prosecuting Attorney from Kirkland knowingly prosecuted me based on the fabricated evidence provided by the offending officers. The trial was heard by Judge Michael Lambo. I was pronounced innocent and exonerated on the false charge. The falsification of evidence by these two officers is a felony. The charges I brought against them were investigated by Lt. John Haslip of Kirkland Internal Affairs Division; in his opinion my charges were "unfounded" because the officers "believed" that the language they used was in the court order, but that neither officer had obtained the actual court order in direct conflict with standard procedure. The fact is that these officers did fabricate this evidence as researched by Tarvin and ironically verified by Haslip in his report needs to be addressed. This latter action was brilliantly researched and executed with intricate accuracy by Kevin D. Tarvin. Tarvin was paid a sum total of $12,750 for his efforts on my behalf. I am now ruined due to the specious and fraudulent efforts of a legal system gone mad and the easily discernible, but alleged false charges of a seemingly adroit sociopath, JC, who is now herself the subject of this same system due to my efforts to analyze her crimes and author the criminal complaint, which after a two year investigation by Hugo Torres the King County Prosecutor's Office has handed down a twelve count indictment for multiple fraud, first/second degree theft resulting in the recent arrest of JC in Kalispell, Montana. She is fighting extradition. JC had resisted arrest. I am the progenitor of the May 11th, 2011 Seattle Weekly front page feature titled "Home Wrecker", which was the first such public exposure to JC in the Seattle area shaming Assistant DA Julie Ann Mohr into backing down from her suspicious prosecution on behalf of JC.
I highly recommend Kevin d. Tarvin

Kevin represented me on a DUI case. I was given Kevin's information by referral, and after meeting with several different attorney's, I knew Kevin was the right attorney, immediately. I didn't have the easiest case in the world, as there was an accident involved, yet somehow Kevin talked his way into a reduced charge- Reckless Driving. It was a horrible experience, but Kevin eased through the process & made it as worry-free as possible. He is familiar with the courts and the judges, which helps. His fees were reasonable & he didn't make me feel like it was about the money, as many other attorney's did, he genuinely wanted to help. I highly recommend hiring Kevin for any matter.

Hire Natalie and her team! She is absolutely wonderful and you will not regret it for a second. She is thoughtful and communicative. Natalie took over my case from another attorney. My former attorney did not do a very good job communicating with me or giving my case the needed attention it deserved. Natalie was the polar opposite. She made sure I stayed update and did an excellent job getting my case caught up to speed.
For example, when I first came to Natalie, I had not been paid my monthly support payment in months. I was struggling to make ends meet. Natalie immediately filed a motion and dragged my ex into court. She got prompt payment from him and I was finally back on a path toward stability. Natalie was a real shark and made sure I was protected from the moment I hired her.
My case went to trial, and it was the same story from the moment I hired her. We triumphed at trial and got a great ruling from the judge.

Consider yourself lucky if Michael has room for you.
COST: His rate is good, and he is extremely efficient which makes him a great deal. A fast talker, fast thinker and has the fire to fight for what is just.
EXPERIENCE: Many lawyers with less experience can suffer from a lack of wisdom and experience, but Michael is a 2nd generation lawyer who leverages his mothers wisdom (Natalie DeMaar). So you get his cutting edge legal intelligence and his moms 30+ year experience. The best of both worlds.
ETHICS: Don't bring your sour attitude to harm your ex, judges see right through it and Michael knows this. For many dads, the law can be on your side, but that may not be how the judge rules (unfortunately in WA). Michael is not afraid to tell you what you don't want to hear in an attempt to get the best outcome and do what is BEST FOR YOU and YOUR CHILD. He has a great overall picture and keeps you from getting caught in the minor details or your ex-spouses minor contempt.

I was pulled over for doing 91mph in a 70mph zone. My license was suspended at the time. I hired Mr George and he was very easy to work with. Very professional and high recommend. I ended up getting all charges dropped with no fees, thanks to his help. Excellent attorney!

I had consulted Nick George for a dui. He seemed friendly at first and eager to help me beat my case. He quoted me $3,000 for the whole case and I obliged. I’ve never gotten a DUI before and I had no idea what any of it would entail. As I was asking questions, he never thoroughly answered any of them but ensured me that he would help me out. By my first initial court date right before I would see the judge he told me we would be going for a deferred prosecution. He told me what to say and everything would be fine. I did what he said. He told me with a deferred prosecution I would have to take classes and do some meetings for a little while. Didn’t seem so bad. Unfortunately due to my nativity, I later found out that a deferred prosecution meant a five year probation program that was very strenuous, expensive and ultimately not worth it. Two years of treatment, two years of 12 step meetings, no alcohol for two years while being tested, monthly probation officer visits, ignition interlock, and five total years of active probation. I also found out that many DUI lawyers will do a deferred prosecution for much much much much much less than the $3,000 I paid nick george. By my next court date, he did not inform me that he would not be there to represent me, instead a colleague showed in his place. I understand though, sometimes you just can’t make it, but he didn’t even let me know beforehand. In between all this I would call Nick to ask questions and he was always short with me and acted frustrated that I had the audacity to call him in the first place. I would seek counsel elsewhere. Clearly, having me ask for a deferred prosecution was much easier than putting in the work to try and beat my case or at least get it amended. Would not recommend in any case.

In my opinion Nick George is only after money, I am what by law is called a Guaranior and I hired him for a criminal case against another party. After being paid very quickly Mr. George had stereotyped his own client by his race. He was fired as soon as possible, . I could not believe a defense lawyer would say that about his own client. I would not trust him as a criminal, civil and especially not an immigration lawyer. My advice is to learn as much as you can on a lawyer before hiring him.

I hired him for my no at fault rear ended accident case back in November 2018 and the day I signed a contract he told me I mostly will contact with paralegal but if I wanted to talk to him directly just call. However I only could contact paralegal for 4 months then after 4 months, I left him a message about insurance problem but he has been ignoring my call. When finally I got to talk to him, he literally just dropped a case. Thanks to his very shady move, I could find great lawyer who is with me every step of the way. If you don’t have large number of the case I wouldn’t recommend him.

Mr. Martin and his team were exemplary in helping me to resolve my pedestrian accident claim. Mr. Martin kept me informed through this process and efficiently resolved my claim. I was very confident in his knowledge of personal injury law and have no doubt he was the best attorney for my claim. I recommend R Martin Law Group for future claims!

10 years in pending, Roman doesn’t care about it, he will always say: Nothing new, still waiting….
If you care about your future in US, please don’t waist your time and resources with this company, and choose someone who is expert in immigration services.
Sorry Roman - But too much careless professionalism from your side.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS.

If you are simply looking to make a plea bargain with the Prosecuting Attorney, than Mr. Wonder is a decent option. However, if you need an attorney to defend your innocence, challenge false allegations, nuance or simply be dependable, I’d highly recommend you look elsewhere. It’s not much better making a plea deal only to lose the benefit of the doubt for the rest of your life.
I post anonymously only because I fear repercussions.

I contacted the BBB to submit a formal complaint regarding Mr. Wonder. He failed to notify me of the court hearing. He then tried to, and failed, to secure a 'make-up' hearing. I called his office several times, sent a couple of emails, only to be ghosted by him. My case was dismissed and the retainer, $5200, was lost. Such a disappointment.

Jeannette was hired to represent us in a dysfunctional and retaliatory school district, but her performance left my student without support and services and worse off before her awful legal advice. While she remained calm in the meeting, she proved ineffective in achieving our goals. Her follow-up recommendations had severely negative impacts on our child's education and mental health, surprising even the lawyer and advocate we consulted for damage control.
She lacked filter, making inappropriate and judgmental comments that blamed us for administrative failures. Her advice often seemed disconnected from the realities parents face in our district, and she discouraged us from pursuing necessary changes. Additionally, her part-time status led to slow responses, taking days to reply.
Jeannette works solo, lacking backup or oversight, which became problematic when her advice worsened our situation without any subsequent follow-up. Ultimately, we had to seek help elsewhere to mitigate the damage she caused.
While she may have been effective in the past, our experience with Jeannette has been overwhelmingly negative. Her outdated knowledge of current special education laws was evident, contributing to her detrimental legal advice, like not knowing or caring the burden of proof shifting to districts. We hoped for better support from a seasoned lawyer, but she failed to meet our expectations or demonstrate empathy toward our challenges.
Jeannette's inability to adapt, coupled with her damaging counsel, led to more problems than solutions for our family. We caution others to consider her recent track record and preparedness before seeking her services.

I met Jeannette 25 years ago when she helped y mother advocate for me when I was diagnosed with ADHD and the edmonds school district didnt want to do anything to help me be sucessful. If it hadnt been for her I would have never received services and never would have found success. Then 25 years later we hired her to help my son in the mukilteo school district with obtaining an IEP after the scholl refused to put him on one. We exhausted every effort we could trying to get the school to jell him and they refused. I even have a special education degree and could get nowhere with them. Found Jeannette again and our attorney this time to help son. She remembered me and my mother from 25 years ago and was willing to help. Let me tell you, if you want an attorney who the local school districts know her me and know she will not back down to their crap, well you meed Jeanette Cohen for your attorney. The minute they knew she was on board they scrambled like little ants to do what she asked for. It was a wonderful feeling and our family will appreciate her forever. Wouldn't recomend anyone else for an educational attorney but her!

I was referred to Jeanette by a generalist in a crisis situation. Some confusion and not optimal communication (plus the initial hand off) probably did not get the best result or leave me with a choice. That said, she was a bull dog 90% of the time on the resulting follow up. When she took my case, she said if it progressed beyond X date, she would refer me out. That referral did no go smoothly, but I am not at all clear it is on her. The referral was to finish the first matter which no one finished. The new firm that I hired dropped the ball on that and seemed to not understand or follow a path that led to my end goal in the second matter, which ended poorly. I am hoping Jeanette will come back and help close the first matter where she has already gotten some remarkable results in terms of getting OPSI to look hard at issues at highly unregulated private school. Hire Jeanette in a minute if she has time and attention to focus on your case for as long as needed

By far the worst legal experience imaginable. If you are ever assigned them as a public defender do everything in your power to not have Mr. Lotskar or Deweirdt involved at any point and honestly I would ask for another law firm all together. These are the public defenders that are way to friendly with the prosecution and seem to advise clients in a way that benefits prosecution. They are extremely dense in terms of understanding what actual life is like for human beings outside of the court room after a decision has been made. They just want to process you and get you off of their books. By far the worst law firm I have ever worked with.
