After meeting and talking to John, I felt comfortable that I found the right guy to represent me in my case. Boy was I glad, and I am forever grateful. John Segelbaum is the best of the best. Thank you, thank you and a heartfelt thank you...I believe you said you would get it dismissed. Thank you, John

Mr. John Segelbaum is a great attorney. I recently encountered legal issues and was scared and unsure what my options were. I was referred to Mr. Segelbaum and had him represent me. He was professional, kept me informed, and best of all, he was able to get my charges reduced, I was facing losing my driver's licence, and John helped save my name and allow me to continue living my life. Best money ever spent, well worth the investment, if you need an attorney, John Segelbaum will work very hard for you and treats his clients with respect, while preserving their rights. Highly recommend.

When it comes to brain injury law, it's hard to imagine a more capable and calming attorney than Scott Blair. His clients know this and, more importantly, so do the insurance companies that he takes to court - as it's one thing for personal injury lawyers to say they can handle a brain injury case and quite another to show they've actually defended hundreds of them with successful verdicts and settlements. My family and I felt increasingly fortunate to have Scott and his team leading my recent case to a successful outcome and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Brain Injury Law of Seattle to anyone in need of specialized counsel.

I am very grateful to have had Teresa Hellstern represent me during my unfortunate time of need. Her competence and compassion gave me great comfort throughout my case. Her actions were well above that of what I thought a Public Defender would do for a client they have no vested interest in.

My mom lives in Edmonds, so I took her to meet with Leigh Bennett. Even though I work for top notch elder law and estate planning attorneys in Seattle. Saved me from driving my mom to Seattle and I was 100% confident in the quality of his work. And if everything goes as planned, we shouldn't need to go through probate when the time comes.

Dimitra Scott at Beresford Booth Law Office is truly exceptional. She made my adoption process so much less stressful, which is no small feat given how complex and emotional it can be. Dimitra is incredibly kind, compassionate, and hardworking. Thanks to her efficiency and attention to detail, even though my adoption happened so quickly. She made sure every aspect was taken care of, allowing me to focus on the most important part: meeting and getting to know my newborn son. From the first consultation to the finalization of the adoption, Dimitra consistently demonstrated deep expertise and genuine care for my case. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to guide me through such an important life event. If you’re looking for someone who is not only a skilled lawyer but also a caring advocate, I highly recommend Dimitra Scott.

I brought my mother to meet with Leigh Bennett to get advice about making changes to her trust and will. Leigh is kind and knowledgeable. My elderly mother felt very comfortable with his style and advice and felt she was in good hands. She had been nervous about going but felt relieved and confident after our meeting with him.

We approached Ms. Ahmed with a very complicated divorce case. It was a devastating severance of a 50 year marriage that completely unanticipated. Culturally, even in this modern and progressive day of age, divorce is not a matter that is commonly experienced, especially within the generation we were dealing with. We are Pakistani and Muslim which brought significant complexities into this case for us and especially for Ms. Ahmed as she navigated through our situation tirelessly first simply to understand all these components. We were really left in the dark by the opposing party, and we could not 'help' Ms. Ahmed much. I know we did not make it easier for her. At every turn we presented her with 'I do not know". We did not have anything in our control, we didn't know where anything was, we could not untangle anything for her. We made her work as challenging, and difficult as it could possibly be. We were completely an utterly in the dark, and that is how we approached her. Yet, she managed us, emotionally, professionally, compassionately, step by step along the way, and investigated our situation from every single angle and then some. This was over a year of harsh struggle and she unwaveringly stood by our side. There were times where we did not want to hear what she wanted to say, but that did not deter her from always being realistic and honest with us. She wouldn't give us one possible outcome, but ten. She did not treat us as a client, but from her communications, from her availabilities, from her constant checking in with us, at every and any hour, we were confident knowing she genuinely cared and treated us as family. All this aside, Ms. Ahmed's knowledge of the law, is impeccable. She is both calm and aggressive, she is both graceful and a beast, she is so strong that even when things are looking impossible, you always see the light through her confidence. Everyone must be wondering did we get the outcome we wanted? Ms. Ahmed did God's work. She not only protected my mother, but protected her legacy and our generations to come. The outcome that other legal professionals prepared us for, the outcome that friends, community, and family told us we would probably get, was not going to be a devastating outcome for us and not one that we could live with. Ms. Ahmed fought hard for us to get us the impossible, and she won...we won. Whatever stone she could un-turn, she did, whatever creative angle she could investigate and research, she did, whatever approach her mind had not considered yet, she found and researched. No matter what the case was looking like, through all the ups and downs, we always found peace in her consistent limitless determination. Before we were able to think of presenting a thought or an idea, she was 100 steps ahead of us. We ended up in court, terrified, sleepless nights, anxieties that led us through 1000 paths of 'what ifs', but she held our hand through all the mess, the complications, and the nonsense. Do not let her calmness or gracefulness, fool you, she is a force of nature. She is one of the strongest most confident women I have ever met. Saying thank you to her is almost embarrassing and we are sure this review is not needed by her. Her reputation precedes her a thousand fold. The intention of this review is for someone that is dealing with an extremely impossible divorce, where there is no hope, when you are flailing around in the universe facing with extreme anxieties, when there seems to be absolutely no hope and no way out. If you need someone to untangle a situation that seems just impossible and are truly looking for a miracle worker; please reach out to Ms. Ahmed. If it is a matter of your life, there is no better hands to put them in. We as a family are always, and will always for our entire lifetime, be ever so grateful for what she has been able to accomplish for us. We truly believe she was an answer to prayers and did divine work and serves as a shield for my mother and our family.

From consultation to court, Alia held my hand throughout the process. Extremely kind, honest, well versed and experienced, and with excellent communication she navigated me through a very tumultuous and complicated divorce.
This phase of your life will be challenging beyond expectations. The bestthing you can do for yourself is hire the best and most aggressive lawyer to fight for everything you deserve.
With grace, patience, compassion, amazing knowledge of the law, and an aggressive and ambitious attitude whatever the BEST outcome is for you, without a shadow of a doubt Alia will accomplish that and probably exceed expectations. At the end of this journey, you will truly not have a single what if, not a single stone left unturned, and not a single question unanswered.
She goes above and beyond her professional duty. Part lawyer, part psychologist, part friend, part your personal warrior, she will serve you with everything she has tirelessly. If you have found her, look no more and hire immediately.

Inexperienced. The way they hooked me was to say , “my job is to make you whole again.” A year later with very little communication they found out the defendant was actually liable, but thought the defendant “looked” credible and I didn’t because I had been horribly injured. They gave up. I’m bankrupt and about to move into my car. Mercedes promised , then took maternity leave… not telling me she was pregnant when trying to get me as a client. Now I’m disabled and she just walked away; afraid of the insurance company

I highly recommend Donchez Law Firm! I had a very lengthy litigation and Mercedes handled it extremely well. She writes fantastic demand letters! Jeff helped out too and I feel lucky to have had a dynamic team supporting me throughout the process. Mercedes explained things so I understood what to expect each step of the way and she stayed positive and encouraging...even as things dragged on! I am pleased with my results!

An unfortunate event led me to Cheryl and her team, and I couldn't be more grateful. They have been thoughtful, understanding, and clear in their communication with me throughout the process. They were incredibly caring and went above and beyond to accommodate my crazy work schedule and unique needs.
The best part was how they took the time to gather information from the medical facilities, saving me both time and emotional energy. This made the entire process much smoother, and I truly believe I would have given up without their help. I’m so thankful to them for taking on my case.

Culturally, even in this modern and progressive day of age, divorce is not a matter that is commonly experienced, especially within the generation we were dealing with. We are Pakistani and Muslim which brought significant complexities into this case for us and especially for Ms. Ahmed as she navigated through our situation tirelessly first simply to understand all these components. We were really left in the dark by the opposing party, and we could not 'help' Ms. Ahmed much. I know we did not make it easier for her. At every turn we presented her with 'I do not know". We did not have anything in our control, we didn't know where anything was, we could not untangle anything for her. We made her work as challenging, and difficult as it could possibly be. We were completely an utterly in the dark, and that is how we approached her. Yet, she managed us, emotionally, professionally, compassionately, step by step along the way, and investigated our situation from every single angle and then some. This was over a year of harsh struggle and she unwaveringly stood by our side. There were times where we did not want to hear what she wanted to say, but that did not deter her from always being realistic and honest with us. She wouldn't give us one possible outcome, but ten. She did not treat us as a client, but from her communications, from her availabilities, from her constant checking in with us, at every and any hour, we were confident knowing she genuinely cared and treated us as family. All this aside, Ms. Ahmed's knowledge of the law, is impeccable. She is both calm and aggressive, she is both graceful and a beast, she is so strong that even when things are looking impossible, you always see the light through her confidence. Everyone must be wondering did we get the outcome we wanted? Ms. Ahmed did God's work. She not only protected my mother, but protected her legacy and our generations to come. The outcome that other legal professionals prepared us for, the outcome that friends, community, and family told us we would probably get, was not going to be a devastating outcome for us and not one that we could live with. Ms. Ahmed fought hard for us to get us the impossible, and she won...we won. Whatever stone she could un-turn, she did, whatever creative angle she could investigate and research, she did, whatever approach her mind had not considered yet, she found and researched. No matter what the case was looking like, through all the ups and downs, we always found peace in her consistent limitless determination. Before we were able to think of presenting a thought or an idea, she was 100 steps ahead of us. We ended up in court, terrified, sleepless nights, anxieties that led us through 1000 paths of 'what ifs', but she held our hand through all the mess, the complications, and the nonsense. Do not let her calmness or gracefulness, fool you, she is a force of nature. She is one of the strongest most confident women I have ever met. Saying thank you to her is almost embarrassing and we are sure this review is not needed by her. Her reputation precedes her a thousand fold. The intention of this review is for someone that is dealing with an extremely impossible divorce, where there is no hope, when you are flailing around in the universe facing with extreme anxieties, when there seems to be absolutely no hope and no way out. If you need someone to untangle a situation that seems just impossible and are truly looking for a miracle worker; please reach out to Ms. Ahmed. If it is a matter of your life, there is no better hands to put them in. We as a family are always, and will always for our entire lifetime, be ever so grateful for what she has been able to accomplish for us. We truly believe she was an answer to prayers and did divine work and serves as a shield for my mother and our family.
