We feel extremely fortunate to have had Francisco Duarte as our grandson's attorney. Mr. Duarte was not only professional and knowledgeable, he was empathetic and very supportive of our grandson and our family. He was always accessible to listen to our concerns and answer any questions. It was an honor to have a man of such high integrity represent our grandson.

Mr. Duarte represented me for my 2nd DUI case and when the final result came out one morning just a few weeks ago, I could not stop smiling for the rest of the day. I could not believe the final outcome. It was far better outcome than I ever hoped for and anticipated. Since the day of my 2nd DUI, it had been a long ordeal for me since I had to deal with all the stress of the court system for more than 18 months but Mr. Duarte stood strong by me every time and made me feel that I was being taken care and cared by him. My case took a lot longer than other cases but Mr. Duarte had been very patient and caring about the case. Mr. Duarte is not only very knowledgeable and intelligent in his field but also very personable and caring about his clients. Mr. Duarte was recommended by my corporal lawyer and I still remember what my corporal lawyer said to me. She said, " Michael, Trust me. I just recommended the best lawyer there is. And you have to trust him. He will not disappoint you! " Ever since the beginning of my case, I always had the trust in him and sure enough, he delivered the best outcome I could ever hope for. I couldn't ask for more!! Mr. Duarte, my family says "Thank You" and please know that you are very much appreciated by them. And I really appreciate you. "Thank You, Mr. Duarte!" This comes from my heart!!!

About a year ago, I found myself in a situation that not only could have a significant impact on myself and my family, but also and even more so on my career (I am in the legal field). Facing a DUI charge is a scary position to be in, emotions become tumultuous and can often cloud sound judgment. I was referred to Francisco through a good mentor and friend of mine, and had actually referred Francisco by way of the same person recommending him myself once before, to a friend of mine. I cannot say enough about my experience with him. Not only did he achieve a fantastic outcome for my particular case, which had multiple charges and penalties in play, but most importantly he treated me with kindness, respect, understanding and a genuine, palpable compassion and empathy for me, my case and what I was facing. He without a doubt posseses the knowledge, skills and experience you really truely need in an attorney to get the best possible outcome that you can. Don't be fooled into thinking that any attorney will do, that can be a big mistake. It was obvious in the courtroom that his presence was respected and admired as an attorney, by not only the local Judges (which is very important) and prosecuting attorneys (also very important) but also his peers. As a person, he is one that once you know, you won't forget! If you are looking for the best representation you can find in this kind of a situation, which can be a task in itself, hire Francisco Duarte and put your mind at ease! Thank you Francisco and staff for making this all as painless as possible, and helping me put it and leave it in the past for good! - Grateful fan and woman from Snohomish County

Molly represented me in a relocation case about 8 years ago. It is not easy to win a relocation case as the non-custodial parent, but thanks to Molly's incredible talent and skill, she won my case and my son and I get to continue to spend meaningful amounts of time together on a regular basis. As she built my case leading up to trial, Molly would identify issues that had real bearing on the best interests of my son and would then build a case by coaching me through the process of developing the facts related to these issues. I use the term "coaching" very intentionally, as Molly really helped to ground me on what were reasonable requests and expectations as a co-parent with my son and encouraged me to engage with my son's mother on the relevant issues despite the inevitable conflict that would ensue. Then, when the trial started, Molly's experience as a litigation attorney on complex corporate cases really showed through. Molly was absolutely brilliant as she clearly articulated our case on each relevant issue. If you are dealing with a fairly straightforward family law issue, you would benefit from working with Molly. If you are dealing with a difficult or complex family law issue (e.g. high conflict co-parent or an issue that could go to trial), it is hard for me to imagine that you could find better representation than Molly.

Molly is an amazing person and an outstanding lawyer. From my first call for help, Molly and her whole staff treated me with respect and dignity and then worked diligently to represent me through one of the most challenging periods of my life. Molly is compassionate and also honest. She won't make promises about things she can't guarantee, but she is reassuring, practical, and smart.

She conferred with me to ensure her asks were commensurate with my approach and in the end resulted in a payout that exceeded expectations. I highly recommend her along with the other 50 people that have also provided her with a 5* rating!

Our situation was rather unique as I hired Steve to represent my Brother in Law for a DUI who had dementia. I live in Texas and with the pandemic it made it impossible to travel to Washington State. Shortly after the DUI, we had to admit my brother in law to a Memory Care Facility. Steve worked diligently with the prosecutor, providing him with supporting documentation of the deterioration in my Brother In Law's physical and mental condition. He was able to get an "Order of Dismissal Without Prejudice". Steve was an excellent communicator and available 24/7 if we needed him. It was such a blessing to have someone like Steve fighting the legal battle for us especially during such a stressful time. Much thanks and praise to Steve and I would highly recommend him.

When looking for an attorney for a DUI, I called Steve at 6:30 on a Sunday morning--Mother's Day, no less. I didn't leave a voicemail, so I was surprised when Steve called me back at 7:00 am. After talking with him, a sense of calm came over me because Steve was so clearly experienced, respectful, compassionate, encouraging, supportive, dedicated, and receptive and responsive to every question I asked. And throughout the entire process, he responded to every call and text. His zealous advocacy was effective and his sage counsel was always a calming influence. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done for my family.

I was charged with a DUI back in March 2019 and I thought my life was over. I thought I had no shot and my life would be ruined by a terrible decision I made. That is until I found Steve Hayne. From my initial consultation I knew I was in the best hands possible. Steve not only offers the best DUI representation in the State, but he is also a very compassionate man that cares deeply about the people he represents. Steve was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving (which I didn't think would be possible AT ALL). Everyone looking for a DUI attorney is obviously going through a rough spot in their life, but if you are lucky enough to come across Steve's page give him a call and he will make you feel better!

Attorney Palmer was referred to me by an attorney here in Connecticut that I work closely with. I needed an attorney familiar with Elder Care & Trust issues as well as someone who could be trusted to work with me from a distance since the action took place in Seattle & I live in CT. John went out of his way to keep me informed prior to our mediation hearing on an ongoing basis. He reviewed volumes of documents and was instrumental in helping me formulate an informed decision on what path I should follow during our mediation hearing. John worked diligently throughout the 14 hour process discussing options with the other 4 parties attorneys. With his help a settlement was reached that was agreeable to all parties and one that was very close to my preferred outcome. I would highly recommend Attorney John Palmer!

Ms. Eslinger helped me with my estate planning documents a few years ago, including a will and power of attorney documents. During our first meeting, she explained about the probate process, we discussed about the appointment of guardians, executors, and trustees for testamentary trusts. She explained that it was not necessary for me to have a living trust even though she could have collected higher fees for a living trust. She was thorough and professional. She recently also updated my documents for me. I highly recommend her service.

This is the second time I tried an uncontested divorce and it went much much better. The first time was through an online "fill in the blank" site that was useless. This firm provides great directions along the way to try to prevent it from becoming contested. I had to give in a little which is fine so I could get it over with. If it did I had options to try to settle it. Bo is honest about the process and all fees, and tells you exactly what to do. There are NO surprise charges or fees. All in all I'd use this firm again, as he did his job admirably.

Mr. Weintraub was my lawyer for a modification of child-support gate. I think he did a really good job of figuring out my former spouses actual income versus what was reported and even corrected Washington State’s calculations. He looked at his finances and tax returns and I think his tax background helped a lot which is one reason I hired him. Other lawyers I consulted didn’t point them out. He has a very helpful staff and was less cost than many others quoted, so I’m very happy with his overall work.

I was in a serious car accident this summer and unfortunately received a moving violation (as did the other driver). I was very concerned about the potential adverse impact the ticket would have on my insurance rates. Andy came highly recommended and I am so glad I called him. He was highly professional, responsive, and got exactly the result he anticipated (and that I hoped for). If you require a Seattle-area attorney with a specialty in traffic law (speeding tickets, DUI defense, etc.), Andy's your guy!

Recently I was successfully defended by Andrew (Andy) for a speeding infraction. It was early in the morning heading West on I-90 during the morning commute (in the commuter lanes). Suddenly when I looked behind me I was being pulled over, then cited for 85mph in a 60mph zone (on the I-90 floating bridge). I may have been going a bit fast as my daughter was late for school, but with the morning traffic and morning Metro Busses in the left lane (passing lane) holding up traffic, I couldn't imagine how I (or anyone) could reach 85mph. I have state of art detection equipment (for awareness), so I know there was no radar/laser detection. The officer must have been pacing me? Again with the traffic there wasn't much chance of going that fast. I provided Andrew videos of random days traffic conditions at the same time leading up to the court date and he did the rest. I was looking for a fine reduction, but Andrew was able to achieve a dismissal. I would highly recommend his services in the future. Thank you Andrew.

We were recently hit with an unexpectedly large and unreasonable bill from our apartment management, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to tackle it. With very little time to act, we reached out to Maxim at the eleventh hour, hoping he could provide some guidance. From the moment we connected, Maxim was an absolute lifesaver. He listened intently, asked all the right questions, and immediately jumped into action, treating our case with an urgency and commitment that was truly impressive. Despite the last-minute notice and complex details, Maxim approached our situation with expertise and precision, analyzing the issue from every angle and coordinating with the apartment management team on our behalf. In less than 24 hours, Maxim not only navigated the complexities of our case but had the issue fully resolved, securing a fair outcome for us. His level of dedication and thoroughness was beyond anything we could have expected. Maxim kept us updated throughout, explaining each step clearly and ensuring we felt confident in the process. His professionalism, swift response, and genuine commitment to his clients’ well-being make him a truly exceptional attorney. We can’t thank him enough for going above and beyond when we needed it most. If you’re looking for a lawyer who combines deep knowledge with a true passion for helping his clients, Maxim is the one to call!!

Brian and Diem changed my life. I cannot thank them enough. They truly care about their clients. I’ve been drowning in debt for many years. It’s all I could think about. My entire paycheck was going towards minimum payments to creditors. There was no way I was getting out of this without bankruptcy. I lost my job over the summer and consulted with a handful of attorneys before finding Brian. After filling out an online form, Diem immediately called me and scheduled a consultation for Brian and I that afternoon. He spent over an hour with me, and I learned so much from him. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and he was ready to act fast! Other attorneys wanted me to wait months to file, and they couldn’t wait to get me off the phone. Brian took time to educate me and make sure I had all the facts. We ended up filing immediately. Brian was always a text or phone call away to answer all my questions. I was always afraid to file ch 7 bankruptcy, but from the moment I first spoke with Brian, I was at ease. I knew I was in good hands. The entire process was smooth, no problems whatsoever. Brian made sure I was fully prepared. I’ve already recommended him to friends who are in a similar situation, and I highly recommend him to whomever is reading this. Please just book a consult with him and start living life free of crippling debt. A huge weight has been lifted. He’s the best of the best.

Susan was a God-send when a seemingly smooth divorce process suddenly turned for the worse. Susan stayed level and worked the process in getting me through an incredibly stressful time in my life. I know she worked non-billed hours to bring this to completion and I'm forever grateful for her guidance through this difficult journey.

Susan came highly recommend to me to help deal with a difficult time in my life. She was easily able to navigate me through the legal process of a divorce and child custody, explain my options, and help achieve the desired result. Hands down I would use her again (although hoping I won't have too) and would recommend her to anyone who is starting or thinking about going down that path. She is amazing!

I first hired Susan to represent me in a difficult case involving domestic violence against me. She helped me and my children stay safe. I hired her a second time to process the divorce and the outcome was the best possible situation for me and my children. Susan is professional yet approachable, and her expertise is vast. I have since consulted with her on a number of occasions and recommended her services to several friends. She is a trustworthy advocate for families and children.

I interviewed a few attorneys before I came to Margaret. She was beyond professional when did not judge me in any way. I went through a very difficult time and she was there in every way I needed her to be. Margaret allowed me to explain to her exactly what I wanted and she took her time to listen and not stop me in any way. She took the time to learn how I communicated so she was able to communicate better with me. This was more than I needed to get through my divorce I got tired of my attorney I fired telling me that it would be best to just take the offer. I fought all the way through and in the long run I saved half the amount I would have spent in the 18 years I would have been paying my ex-wife. Thank you very much for everything.

I ONLY clicked on ONE lawyer, as time was of the essence when my spouse left me unexpectedly. Something I'd never drempt would happen! He'd cancelled any means he thought I'd have to stand up for my own rights. MARGARET BENDER and her very dedicated staff, DIANA and VANESSA, have all helped me survive down this very sad path we call Divorce! They allowed me to come in immediately. I had called on a Friday night, but they had no idea (nor did I) that I'd make it on a plane and be there that Monday morning! My whole life was being pulled from under me, I was confused, and, at the time so lost as to what was happening to me...Perhaps I'll post an update review when this is over. I'd recommend this law firm to my closest friends & family.

Margaret and her team (Diana) really made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and guided me in every way possible through something I didn't really want to do, but knew it was in the best interest for me and my family; a divorce!!! I'm thankful for their dedication, compassion, hard work, and support. I give them a very high overall rating and would highly recommend them to counsel you if you are in need of an attorney. Thank you and best regards! L.

Everything was in place to close on a real estate deal after a group of neighbors had banded together to purchase a collection of vacant lots. But the deal went sideways when the sellers refused to sign/close, and stopped communicating with their agent. We hired Britney to sort out the mess, which she did splendidly and quickly. She expertly and very promptly closed all the exits to protect the parcels from alternate deals and/or disruption (multiple Lis Pendens filings completed within a week of first contacting Britney). Britney's communication was rapid and thorough, and she represented multiple parties in the same action very effectively. Faced with the overwhelmingly strong hand Britney laid on the table, the sellers backed down and agreed to settle/close and pay legal fees. Overall, the closing was delayed 6 weeks, but that's much faster than we feared a legal action might take. The team at Hanson Baker was also a real asset, utilizing Keaton Hille for litigation matters and Cathy Anderson for keeping the wheels rolling. Billing breakdown was very detailed and transparent. I would not hesitate to utilize Britney and the Hanson Baker team again, if unlucky enough to face legal challenges again in the future.

After a few days of searching for the right attorney for our challenge we kept returning to Britney's Firm. They assigned Britney to our case due to her expertise. After our consult we knew that we had a match. Our family found that working with Britney assisted in keeping us up-to-date, informed and willing to explore options wisely. In this case we needed an attorney with business contract and litigation knowledge. This was a particularly sensitive situation. Britney was able to swiftly assist us in resolving our challenge and retrieve money owed. Yes, we would/will absolutely recommend her.

After reviewing a number of attorney CVs Britney's experience and expertise encouraged me to conclude she likely would provide excellent counsel for property transactions I was undertaking. And I was delighted when she agreed to represent my interests in purchasing a home in the San Juan Islands and in creating an option associated with the purchase. The transactions involved the sale of property in California and the purchase of the island home via a 1031 exchange. The experience was a new one for me and not without questions as to how complicated it might become. From the beginning of the process Britney was truly exceptional on a number of levels. Her personable, confident, expert manner in communicating with me quickly dispelled any concerns I had about the process. Almost immediately I recognized I was in truly capable hands and that I was dealing with a person upon whom I could rely with confidence. At each step of the way forward Britney made sure I was informed of what was happening and why. More importantly her guidance at critical junctures insured that any information I needed to provide or form I needed to complete met all the transaction's requirements for legal sufficiency. Britney's drafting of all required documents was superb. Her writing excelled at providing sharp, concise, comprehensible language that all parties understood with ease. I could not have been more pleased with the work products Britney presented to me. Without hesitation I recommend Britney for outstanding representation in real estate transactions.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude towards Amity Legal for their exceptional assistance during a challenging time. Recently, I found myself involved in a car accident that left my vehicle severely damaged, and I required medical treatment as a result. However, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Amity Legal, I was able to navigate through the aftermath without any additional burden. From the very beginning, it was evident that Amity Legal possessed a profound understanding of the legal complexities surrounding my case. They took charge of the situation, relieving me from the daunting task of dealing with my insurance company. Their expertise and attention to detail were truly remarkable. Throughout the process, Amity Legal ensured that every aspect of my situation was thoroughly addressed. They fought diligently on my behalf, seeking the compensation I rightfully deserved. Their relentless efforts resulted in a settlement that not only met my expectations but left me genuinely satisfied. I am profoundly grateful for the insightful guidance and unwavering support provided by Amity Legal. Their commitment to my well-being and legal protection was evident in every step they took. Their professionalism and competence gave me peace of mind during a time of distress. In light of my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Amity Legal to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their invaluable services and compassionate approach make them an exceptional choice for handling complex legal matters. I am truly grateful to have had Amity Legal by my side, and I will forever be appreciative of their assistance during a challenging chapter of my life.

I had engaged with an attorney to help with my father's estate. She strung me along for two months, telling me filings had been made, documents "in the mail". Deadlines were coming to transfer assets and discovered she had done nothing at all. I called Jason and Madeline and they jumped in right away. They got what they needed from the prior attorney and had my court docs for me the next day so I could move forward with a property sale. Jason is responsive and educated me on the probate process, walking me through every step. Truly saved the day, and I cannot thank them enough. You want to hire these people, without hesitation.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
