Cory Rein represented me in a divorce in 2010. He protected my interests and caught many details that might have slipped by a less experienced attorney. I was an emotional wreck and having an expert litigator on my side was very reassuring. His knowledge of Snohomish County court history and common decisions helped inform our choices in mediation and we were able to reach an agreement by the end of the day, saving me many court costs. I greatly appreciate his work on my behalf.

Cory is the best attorney I've ever hired (unfortunately, being divorced with children for the past 14 years, I've more experience than I'd like in hiring family law attorneys). Cory is the voice of reason, fair, and genuinely cares about providing positive results for his clients. I highly recommend Cory to anyone facing family law adversity. Wish I would've met him 14 years ago.

I am a business owner and a landlord and Cory has represented me in many capacities and has always demonstrated first rate knowledge and quality of work. I would feel comfortable recommending him to friends and business associates alike.

I heard of Sabrina through a divorced moms group on Facebook. I sent her an initial email to request a meeting, but had already met with and retained a lawyer before I heard back from Sabrina. I decided to meet with her since she had been recommended.
What I really liked about Sabrina (even though I had already signed on with my lawyer) was that she was so straightforward and she heard my whole story through. I like that she asked for a background from beginning to end and she actually listened and provided honest feedback throughout.
She has a wonderful and friendly personality. I really enjoyed talking to her, and didn't feel judged, mocked or looked down on.
Divorce is a difficult process and she explained everything. I left feeling that she really takes care of those she represents and has their back.
Before I left she printed out a form for me to sign for the response to the petition and urged me to file it ASAP so I didn't lose any of my rights.
I ended up going back to her for a final review of my final divorce papers after my lawyer made updates. I just wanted to make sure everything looked reasonable and nothing was missed since I have a daughter and didn't want to miss or make any mistakes.
Sabrina met with me, even though I was running late. She never made me feel rushed and went through the paperwork with such detail. She ended up making lots of great changes that made me feel so relieved and grateful that I had come to see her.
Even though I had already retained another lawyer, my two appointments with Sabrina were enough that I felt she deserved an excellent review.
I would not hesitate to seek her advice and think I would have done really well with her as my lawyer. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others based on the advice she had given me.

Sabrina helped me with a divorce case. She instilled confidence and showed right away tremendous knowledge. In court she was pure grace. Every time opposing council spoke she was able to effectively render his point moot with just a few words. A great lawyer, I would recommend her in a second.

Being a critical thinker, rarely would I give 5 stars in all categories to rate any service or professional, but in this instance I am privileged to do so. Sabrina Layman has guided me in two separate proceedings through Child Support Modification/Post-Secondary Education support with an unwilling co-parent. Ms. Layman facilitates the legal process, making it significantly less stressful. She provides moral support, while maintaining reasonable legal costs. Her positive-minded attitude and perseverance for the benefit of the children instill immediate peace of mind and garner trust. Her paralegal Debbie Sherlock has highly comprehensive knowledge on documents and proceedings, is kind, efficient, and detail-oriented. Both are true advocates for the children and their clients, and I most favorably recommend their expertise for your family law litigation needs.

Seth is nothing short of exceptional. I had to make changes to my LLC so that I could work outside the US and I had some basic legal questions. However, after speaking with Seth it turned out to be a much more complicated process than I ever imagined. He guided me through the entire process including who I needed to contact for registration in Canada and how to navigate tax issues. Seth is the only lawyer who I feel completely comfortable working with for my company.

Seth and I have worked together on the creation of a LLC entity holding a long distance real estate investment property.
He frequently went above and beyond to ensure the work was as perfect as possible. He always made sure to answer my multiple questions nicely and fully while providing transparency of the whole end to end process. Once the entity was created and he received his payment he still made sure I had everything I needed and stayed very responsive to my emails.
There is no doubt that I will go reach back to him in the event I need further legal help.

Kelly is a very hands on, and people person, she was always attentive to my needs as her client, and in the end got the job done, where others had failed numerous times! Couldn't recommend a better attorney!

Kelly contacted me about my case at the SCC in 2018, where I had been transferred to , after I had completing an eight year sentence for a crime that I did not commit. I explained the facts of my case to her, and she agreed to represent me in my upcoming SVP trial. With her choice of a second chair, and expert witnesses. She proceeded to annihilate the, Washington State Attorney General's so called, "case".
I owe my very freedom to this smart, honest, beautiful, trial savvy woman, and Most Excellent Attorney. If not for her, I would have been spending the rest of my life at the SCC. Thanks again Kelly !

When I first meet Jennifer in her office I was a nervous wreck. I had already served my children's mother with divorce paperwork and was trying to get custody of our children myself. The decision to make some changes to better my children’s and my life was important and had to be done. Once I got my children's mother's response I lost confidence and needed help. So I found myself Pacing back and forth in Jennifer's office telling her of my situation, I felt quickly at ease. Jennifer believed in me and what I was trying to accomplish. Jennifer reassured me that everything was going to be ok and she would try her best to help me. Realizing that my divorce was going to difficult and the custody of my children was not going to be any easier. Jennifer never promised the outcome of our case, but she did promise she would represent me and try her best. Jennifer and her Firm gave me the chance to prove that I can and could provide a safer, cleaner environment and all around better life for my three children. I could go on and on about my situation but I am here to talk about Jennifer Gogert. When no one would believe me Jennifer did. When the Cards were stacked against me Jennifer knocked em down and reshuffled the Deck. If you’re honest and you believe in your heart what you’re doing is right, sometimes all it takes is finding that right person to listen to you. I guess you might say Jennifer was that person for me and I will never forget what she did for my children I....

Jennifer and her team helped me resolve several post-divorce issues that came up two months before my last support payment to my ex. During my initial interview, Jennifer grasped the whole scenario within minutes, and before the end of the interview she gave me three possible ways to respond. In the end, we won in court on all three issues. After that, I used Jennifer and her team to tie up some more loose ends pertaining to my divorce. While Jennifer cost me a bit more than my previous attorney, I believe I got better results, so the investment was worth it.

Jennifer is a wonderful attorney who is responsive to her clients needs and willing to strongly advocate for her clients. She is very quick and responsive. Her team is extraordinary and when things are difficult, they are all there to keep you on track with next steps and what to expect. There are no questions when you're represented by Jennifer. She keeps you informed and helps you know what is in the best interest of your case. I never felt overwhelmed by the process and I knew that Jennifer would help to ensure that the outcome of my case was exactly what I was hoping for. She is fantastic, brilliant and very easy to work with. I've recommended her to a friend who retained her services and felt that her experience with Jennifer was just as beneficial.

Josh is a very professional yet personal attorney. He cares enough to look over the whole case, to find and act on the inconsistencies in the discovery. He listened and supported my defense without making me feel uncomfortable in any way. He even went out of his way to help my witnesses feel comfortable about a rather embarrassing element that was part of the trial. i have never felt so comfortable and been so happy with any legal professional. All that and positive results, you cant beat Josh Field "Superstar"

I was very confident the whole time my case was going on. I would definitely go to him again if need be, but I definitely don't plan on getting in trouble again! I'm very thankful to of had him on my side.

When I found Michael, I had just been fired by my second attorney, in a very complicated, difficult, and high stakes divorce case. My case had already been run into the ground by two previous lawyers and even more so by the entire so-called justice system. Things were at a very low point, and no one else would take my case because of how difficult it was. Michael almost didn’t take it himself. Immediately, I knew though, and I think he knew too, that he was the only one who could right the ship.
With him by my side in the courtroom, the dynamic immediately shifted. I knew I was in good hands. His courtroom skills are second to none. And he’s not afraid to take it all the way when it’s the right thing to do. In my case, he’s the only one who could have.
Even more extraordinary than his skills, knowledge, and demeanor in the courtroom was his demeanor as my attorney. He was always professional, ethical, patient, and compassionate. He always found a gentle and tactful way to disagree with me, and I always felt confident trusting his advice and deferring to his strategic decisions. He always listened to me and respected my opinions, and believed in me, in a way that no one else had. He was unwavering in his commitment to fight for me against all odds. And against all odds, and with so much tenacity, stamina, and grace, he won. We won. In the process, he restored my faith in the justice system and humanity as a whole.
This attorney is a warrior of the highest order and an angel walking on earth. If you are lucky enough to get him in your corner, you should consider yourself truly blessed. His advocacy was worth every penny and more.

Melanie helped me through a very difficult divorce & custody dispute. It was a very challenging time in my life, and it was great to know that Melanie was in my corner. She was very up front with the situation, the potential paths and long term impact on me and my family. At the same time, she was reasonably priced, and was very sensitive to my financial situation. I am very happy with the results and couldn't think of a better, more approachable attorney to help you out.

From the moment I was recommended to Adler Giersch Personal Injury Law by someone I trust, I knew I was in good hands. Reflecting on my journey, I can confidently say that my only regret is not reaching out to them sooner in the process of dealing with my personal injury claim.
My journey began with a car accident that left me grappling with lingering pain and injury for nearly three years. Initially, I felt confident in navigating the complexities of the claim process alone, buoyed by trust in my car insurance company. However, as time passed, it became increasingly apparent that my health and recovery were not their top priorities. The stress of managing doctor appointments and negotiating with insurance companies became overwhelming.
Enter Richard Adler and his exceptional team. From the moment I consulted with them, I felt a profound sense of relief and support. Richard, recommended to me by a trusted source, ensured that I felt heard and understood. He seamlessly connected me with the dynamic legal duo of Arthur Leritz and Elisabeth Ruff.
Arthur's professionalism and expertise were evident from our first interaction. He not only validated the severity of my injury but also instilled in me the confidence to pursue the closure of my claim while prioritizing my health. Elisabeth's meticulous attention to detail and genuine warmth made me feel truly cared for throughout the process. Their combined efforts allowed me to focus on my recovery while they adeptly handled communication with both insurance companies.
The Settlement Letter they prepared was a testament to their dedication and expertise. It encapsulated three years of challenges and setbacks, empowering me as I prepared to move forward from the accident. The strength and professionalism exhibited by the entire team at Adler Giersch were instrumental in reaching a settlement and reclaiming hope for the future.
I am forever grateful to Richard, Arthur, Elisabeth, and the entire team at Adler Giersch for their unwavering support and advocacy. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance in personal injury cases. Their commitment to their clients' well-being is unparalleled, and I cannot thank them enough for helping me navigate through a challenging time with grace and integrity.

Last year, I was involved in a car accident and enlisted the help of Elisabeth and the legal team she is working in. Their responsiveness and quick handling of all my inquiries were impressive. As someone unfamiliar with legalities and my rights, they guided me through the process, addressing my questions with a friendly demeanor. They managed the case exceptionally well, making the experience positive. I am delighted to have worked with them and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone uncertain about where to turn in the event of accidents.

Earlier this year, I hired the law firm of Russell and Hill to help me with my disability claim. My case was handled by Jaclyn Gaddy and her team. She is absolutely top notch; knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and very patient and kind. In my opinion, filing a disability claim is not a job to tackle by oneself. I enthusiastically recommend Jaclyn Gaddy. She is the best!!

Filing for Social Security Disability is a daunting and demoralizing task. The rules are complex and the process is complicated. Although we began the process without representation it soon became clear that we were in over our heads and lacked the information necessary to provide the proper documentation. And, of course, we were initially denied. I found the Law Offices of Russell & Hill online. Calling them and making an appointment was essentially a "leap of faith".
It was the best decision we ever made.
The best decision the law office made on our behalf was assigning our case to Jaclyn Gaddy. By the time we first met with Jaclyn (after she had received several years worth of medical records), she was not only familiar with the particulars of our medical records, she had a clear understanding of even the minutiae, those endless and seemingly small or insignificant incidents/issues that, taken together, meaningfully contribute to understanding the whole medical picture. She knew them and she understood their impacts.
Jaclyn walked us through the hearing process and provided excellent guidance with respect to issues that she believed the judge would focus upon (and which were, in fact, precisely the issues the judge focused upon). She was professional, prepared and always compassionate.
Disability hearings are nerve wracking, they feel adversarial and hostile, and applicants, who by definition are sick and/or injured, must present their case comprehensively with clarity, focus, and credibility. It is an overwhelming expectation that requires the help of an excellent attorney. Our receipt today of a fully favorable decision only reinforces that you cannot do better than Jaclyn Gaddy.
Thank you Jaclyn

I contacted Russell & Hill regarding my social security needs. Jaclyn Gaddy was assigned to my case and I am so glad she was. She is very detailed, understanding and truly cares about her clients. Jaclyn is very quick to respond to any questions and on top of your case! With her past experience and her current position she is someone I would highly recommend for anybody.

I was hit from behind by another vehicle while at a complete stop. I suffered from whiplash, injured wrists, and throwing my already bad back into spasms. I received all the medical and chiropractic treatment I needed to recover. Andrew Dimmock worked hard to assure that I was fairly compensated and all injuries and damages were healed and repaired. Thank you Mr, Dimmock for your expertise in negotiating a fair settlement.

I was rear ended by an uninsured drunk driver at 50mph. Injured and unsure of my options I found Andy Dimmock who repeatedly told me to focus on my recovery and treatment and he would take care of the rest beginning with ensuring my bills were paid via PIP and he would pursue my own insurer for uninsured motorist coverage. As expected I was still receiving treatment a little under a year later at which point Andy informed me my insurers had forwarded the full amount of my policy. I learned the game changer was managing to get my blood sucking chiropractor to provide a detailed assessment of my injuries before and after my accident for my insurers to settle the claim. Meanwhile my chiropractor was simply milking all the PIP and more by having me see him 5 times a week!
Andy managed to stem the flow of projected medical fees by getting this claim finalized early and well before my chiropractor and physical therapist sucked the claim dry.

November 1998, Im five years old nearly killed in an auto accident. Lawyer #1 takes the case... Four years pass... little progress and some sort of conflict arises, and he withdraws from my case. Mid 2002 lawyer #2 takes over... Once again little progress... November 2002 lawyer #2s law practice is purchased by Andrew and his business partner. August 2003, Andrew has my train wreck of a case straightened out. Andrew did more for me in a week that lawyer #1 was able to do in four years! I came away with over $5,000 more than I would have had it not been for him! I was born with learning disabilities. We were able to use the settlement money to pay for a tutoring service. That tutoring service was a huge help with my education. To this day when I tell people about my education the story involves "learning to even read was hard...then I went to(institution name)".(Institution name) would not have happened had it not been for Andrew. Even after the tutoring service was paid for, I still had more money than I even would have had he not taken over! Present day, I am now in college. The settlement money that i had was a huge help in avoiding taking out student loans right in the beginning of school. I don't know where I would be today had it not been for Andrew!
Sincerely,
A very grateful former client

Stephen was my securities lawyer, when I was rasing money for an internet company I founded in 1998; which we successfully sold in June of 2000. In 2003 I retained Stephen to strategize and file all SEC documents on my behalf in a proxy contest election (which I won). Since 2003 he has handled all the securities work for my firm, including a partial self tender offer and defending two proxy contest against my company. He has attended every board meeting of my company in the past 11 years (50+); never missing one of them. Stephen has my highest recommendation.

I was extremely happy with Flora during our child custody case. I always felt like my case was a priority to her and that she truly cared about the outcome being what was best for the child. She ALWAYS got right back to me and was very patient and kind. She's very knowledgable, especially about ICWA (Indian Child Welfare Act).
I would highly recommend her to any family or friends and if I needed an attorney in the future I wouldn't hesitate to call her again. I truly appreciate Flora and all of the hard work she did for me!!!

I came to be represented by Josh Camp after firing my initial legal representative (an LLLT). To say I was jaded and burned by my first legal representative would be an understatement, but Josh rose to the occasion and exceeded all expectations.
From day one, my divorce was high conflict but Josh has handled every scenario with professional ease. He has been highly communicative every step of the way, even contacting me on an occasional weekend if the issue was urgent (fortunately, this didn't happen often). While he's been phenomenal during the entire process (a high compliment given how challenging things have been), it was how he represented me during mediation with my ex and his lawyer that truly impressed me. Our mediation took 10 hours, and by hour 8, it seemed that the mediation might not work out and we would head to possible trial. However, Josh knew the position was was standing firm in and helped me achieve a fair and equitable settlement. He has ensured complete thoroughness, including walking me through word-for-word the settlement document drafted during mediation.
I also want to note that while his job was to be my attorney during divorce, which he did so to the highest professional degree, Josh also showed his human side though care and compassion. He didn't shy away from constructive feedback, but did so with the best of intentions and I truly appreciate that.
The entire law firm is "on it", working as a cohesive unit even when several different paralegals also touched my case. No stone was left unturned, and at the end of an arduous journey, I am left thankful for how Berner Law Group and Josh Camp represented me. While nobody wants to find themselves in need of a divorce attorney, should you find yourself needing one, I unequivocally recommend Josh Camp!

From the outset of our engagement, Andrew was uber prepared. He knew my case, knew my history, and knew the spectrum of potential issues. Prior to my court date, he ably led me through a comprehensive prep for the hearing--assuaging all of my concerns and answering questions. During the actual hearing, Andrew was polished and composed; he was organized, thorough and seemed to anticipate the judge's actions. He made this process seamless. I can not imagine a better disability advocate than Andrew McDonald.

Brilliant strategists!! I had a very serious issue. I was charged with 3 counts of a serious crime which led to almost a 2 week trial. The events leading up to this trial happened 3 years ago, but they stuck with me the whole time. I am not sure how they are able to do it, but with Mr. Lawrence's help we pulled a win. I plead not guilty to all 3 charges and if I was convicted of even 1 of them I would have lost my career and my life as I know it. So I really commend what these gentlemen do and being able to their job when they have so many other cases to work. Thank you again Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Wakefield for the work and dedication you have put into my case which has allowed me to continue forward with my life and career in the Navy.

I am very pleased that a friend me to referred me to Newton Kight LLP. I have been working with Mark Patterson for over a year since my husband has passed away. He has expertly handled all of the issues as they came up after my husband's death. He or his office is very punctual in returning phone calls or emails. I feel like he does care about me and my situation AND provided me with needed information related to wills, benefits, probate and other issues to consider that I hadn't thought of. I have had a good experience working with this office and would highly recommend them.

Does not practice according to the law. Will skirt around and hope that no one notices what he is doing. Very shady! Gets his clients to lie just so that he can have a winning record. BEWARE! A leopard does not change their spots., especially him. He will make it seem like he is working for you and your best interest but in fact it is the complete opposite. Don't know how he got positive ratings.
