A gound floor guy, which resonates well with me. Practical, experienced, informal, interested in solving problems involving legal matters. I think he knows what he doesn't know, which is way ahead of many others!

Update since last review. Unfortunately ABC law is a scam, Ponzi scheme within the court system. They work with local authorities and state governments and county officials to ensure they benefit themselves over the client and what’s right. ABC law has extremely bad communication from their office staff to their attorneys and poor to no court room experience. ABC law fraudulently represent their clients with unlicensed and poorly experienced lawyers and attorneys. ABC law does not provide accurate information about time and cost of services. ABC law is still holding money from my retainer and has not returned my calls. This is not a disgruntled employee, but a disgruntled customer who is leaving a accurate and reliable review. ABC knew that my case was going to be a flop because the other Party filed wrong but they took my retainer and acted like they were going to do something knowing the judge was not going to hear the case because it was filed incorrectly. inadequate representation Also failing to inform and recognize several important factors of conflicting representation!

Run away from this attorney. I had a long conversation with her. And I am happy she never represented me. Firstly, she is low-qualified. The best advice she gave me was about her hourly rate (and she repeatedly reminded that request for money). Other advises were not valuable. So I am happy such a low qualified person never represented me. Secondly, she violated multiple norms of ethics by yelling on her clients. I am afraid of what will she do in the Court and how can she control herself. Run away from her. Never pay to her - it is not worthy. Read also reviews of other users at Google maps - something is definitely wrong with this attorney.

I hired Rebecca to represent me when my employer tried to have me terminated due to my disability. Rebecca was professional and here legal advice was spot on. My former employer saw I was not going to be discriminated against with Rebecca. I would use Rebecca for any employment matter.

Lawyers Alexandra VanBelle and Patrick Songy of Deno Millikan took on our family law case after getting no call backs from several other firms. It was my first time having to hire a lawyer and they talked me through everything and did a fantastic job navigating the newer and less common defacto parenting law. They were always available to answer questions and guide us through the difficult process. Thank you Alex and Patrick for helping us get the legal parenting rights for our grandchildren!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joel Nichols. When my existing attorney was no longer available, I reached out to Joel. He jumped right in without missing a beat. He brought my case to resolution in the few short months I worked with him. I loved his approach to being fully transparent - good or bad - and how often he would communicate, even if there wasn't an update. I'm pleased with the outcome of my case, and will work with Joel for any legal items I have in the future. He truly is the best and such a kind and caring man.

Jacki Bray is a family law specialist with the Lauber Law Group. She helped me with what was, for me, and incredibly difficult custody issue, and she did it while being a real source of comfort, yet keeping things realistic and in perspective, and those are not easy things to balance. Thank you, Jacki, for being a real person and doing an amazing job.

I like to file a complaint. While speaking with a receptionist. She claimed you'd only been Open for 15 mins at 8:55pm then told me I can't speak to people like that and she hung up the phone. I'm trying to convey my problems and concerns and only get brushed off and told I'll get a call back. I got a call back and saying I'll like to file a complaint and was told I'm not going to get into this again and was hung up on once again. I was not using foul language and I was trying to be respectful. my worries are being passed over and my request are not being respected prior to the first hearing with Brittany.

Free consultation. Divorce. Complicated. Ximena was amazing. She got me started outlining the situation while she looked up the court case details, and knew exactly when to I perfect with a question to get to the heart of the matter. She's incredibly good at multitasking and accessing /cross referencing information. In addition, her long standing in Snohomish County gave her direct knowledge of the Commissioner who heard a previous hearing, so I finally had confirmation of the Commissioner's background and perspective... 1st attorney I've worked with who could do this! After (a lot of free consultation effort) we finished a basic review she gave me direct and clear information, and then referred me to another firm because she didn't have postnuptial contract experience; she knew about the postnup from the beginning, but helped me to understand my situation better. Amazing! Ethical, clear, direct, and smart! Thank you, Ximena!

Her exact words were "say goodbye to all your money" when I was on the phone for a free consultation. Do not recommend, snide and unhelpful. I understand doing a free consultation may make a lawyer not have interest in helping, but that was uncalled for and unprofessional.

Ximena was referred to me by a colleague, and I'm so grateful I decided to hire her. She helped me with a challenging custody situation and was extremely knowledgeable and strong throughout the entire process. The situation was complicated and I wasn't entirely sure what the best approach was. She did an excellent job asking the right questions, helping me navigate the process and options with an objective eye, and ultimately helped to achieve the best possible outcome. Her approach is objective and direct (as it should be). Ximena's approach is strong, but she is extremely compassionate and truly cares about her clients. It is definitely not about how many hours she bills or if she can get the case to trial. I trusted her advice and she always had my back and my child's best interest in mind. I felt heard and validated with my concerns, as she has a wealth of experience dealing with similar challenging personalities and situations. I always felt supported and relief after consulting with her. Ximena is also a seasoned Snohomish County attorney, and is held in high regard with the court, judges, mediators, and other attorneys. She knows the system really well and knows how to best approach different individuals and steps of the process within the system. I hold Ximena in the highest regard, and will continue to leverage her services.

Deeply unprofessional and discriminatory conduct from Theresa Lorella and this firm. Unethical law firm that refuses to provide an itemized receipt. Ms Lorella sold herself as being capable of the most difficult divorce settlements but after 3 months and tens of thousands of dollars later she was incapable of doing even the bare minimum such as get my non marital personal property back. Ms Lorella also engages in bigoted behavior and when her firm disciplined her for the matter she quit the next day in retaliation. If you are a member of any marginalized community you do not want to hire this law firm. I also believe there was a fraudulent use of funds and Ms Lorella’s relationship with opposing counsel was a serious issue. I do not believe she operated in good faith. Must be nice to collect a six figure paycheck off of the dissolution of families.

A comment that still haunts me 16 years after the divorce. Such a red flag and Aaron shields should have been fired on the spot. During the divorce he said “your kids are young enough, you can leave now and they won’t remember you!” Two weeks later my X said word for word the exact same thing. So Aaron was bought off by my X whose mother worked for her attorney abill Sullivan at the time. Clearly they wanted to erase me from my daughter’s existence. It’s now 2024 X held in contempt 2x, one daughter completely alienated since 2022. I hope people avoid using lawyers like this one because he is nothing more than a used used car salesman- that clearly works for his pocket lining and not his clients best interests.

Divorce mediation oversight leaving out notice to let other party know of "late" missed payments. March to June 9th resulted in $28,500 in late fees. I paid immediately when notified. The $150 per day compounding fees added up. Unintentional oversight from changing accounts. I was threatened with imprisonment by opposing counsel Robert Miller/Brewe Layman.

Aaron took money from me in a family matter. Knowing I am clean as a judge I was hoaxed into accepting an awe full arrangement which has made seeing my son nearly a functional obsolescence. Aaron. barged me near enough to $40,000 and I barely see my son. I do not smoke, drink and I am a good father. I have since tried to reach Aaron but always seem to end up speaking with his extremely rude and obnoxious phone lady Jennifer. Jennifer scares me as well. She is so rude and Aaron is one sneaky attorney. Stay away from the crooks. In my clear purview Aaron is a washed up attorney with no loyalty to his clients. Aaron is a walmart attorney. I have no fear that Aaron and Jennifer will now try and ruin my life even more. 100% not afraid of that clown. Hire a young attorney who has not forgot why he/she became an attorney. I feel as though Aaron was using my money to pay off debts or gambling I do not know what I know is the lack of representation and the amount charge seems criminal.

John Rosecrans (and his awesome team!) helped me through the most difficult time in my life. To John, it's about doing the right thing and making sure I am supported and properly informed of my options at every turn. My case is complex and messy, but that hasn't deterred John from helping me navigate the often-confusing and stressful process and aftermath of divorce. John, Leanne and Patty have always gone above and beyond, and for that I am forever grateful. I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Deeply unprofessional and discriminatory conduct from Theresa Lorella and this firm. Unethical law firm that refuses to provide an itemized receipt. Ms Lorella sold herself as being capable of the most difficult divorce settlements but after 3 months and tens of thousands of dollars later she was incapable of doing even the bare minimum such as get my non marital personal property back. Ms Lorella also engages in bigoted behavior and when her firm disciplined her for the matter she quit the next day in retaliation. If you are a member of any marginalized community you do not want to hire this law firm. I also believe there was a fraudulent use of funds and Ms Lorella’s relationship with opposing counsel was a serious issue. I do not believe she operated in good faith. Must be nice to collect a six figure paycheck off of the dissolution of families.

Walking into Rodi’s office for the first time, I was nervous. I was staring down what was certain to be a long, nasty, complex divorce and I needed to make sure I had the best representation possible. But, I also had to know I could trust and relate to whoever might provide that. Rodi commanded the room with her presence, nevertheless, she immediately put me at ease. Within no time at all I could tell she understood where I was coming from, what my children and I were going through, and how my ex figured into these things. She got up to speed on my particularly complicated/unique situation extremely quickly, and I knew at once I had an ally. And a determined, smart, experienced, relentless, caring one at that. I knew she had my back from day one. And she never once faltered. Through the countless, pointless and malicious deviations, distractions, and motions my ex threw up to complicate things; the endless diatribe of slander and lies, the messy and ugly, Rodi was my rock. She – and her equally amazing and dedicated paralegal – gave me confidence, kept me informed, and put everything into perspective. She has a vast history with and inside knowledge of the courts and judges and she possesses a fierce, but steady, demeanor. She doesn’t let emotion get in the way as she works tirelessly to create a fair, appropriate, and welcome outcome. When my ex failed to even try to make mediation a success, we faced at court time—something both she and I had hoped to avoid. Mediation is always Rodi’s preferred outcome; that said, the court is truly where she shines. My own court experience turned into a three-day circus of sorts, thanks to my ex’s antics, vitriol, and curious representation. Rodi was at the top of her game fielding all the balls he kept trying to throw at us; she had hold of every thread and met each of his efforts with her legal expertise to ensure they fell short. Above all else, though, Rodi held my children at the heart of the everything and truly served as their advocate. There is no doubt that my kids were her highest, sacred priority. In the end, the outcome was best it could possibly be, given my situation. There is also no doubt that if it weren’t for Rodi O’Loane I don’t think I would have made it through all of this. She made me stronger and kept my family safe and protected. I would recommend her to anybody.

I’m incredibly grateful to have found him on Avvo. Even before I officially retained him, Scott took the time to thoroughly understand my case and thoughtfully laid out my options, explaining what steps to take and which ones to avoid. His approach was both professional and reassuring. I truly wish I had discovered Scott earlier during my divorce proceedings. For anyone navigating the difficult path of a divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him. He is a steadfast advocate, and his team provides exceptional support to ensure the best outcomes.

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 had the pleasure of working with Geoff through a DVPO case and parts of my divorce case. He was able to point out the fact that my ex had set me up and wasn't afraid to voice it in court. Geoff was also well prepared for a crucial custody hearing and it was a relief having him by my side. Being a judge, in addition to a lawyer, his schedule does get busy. However, both he and his paralegal, Kerry Davis, show great care for their clients.

odd is not only a delightful human, but an incredibly effective lawyer. I called numerous legal offices around the area after my failed efforts to deal with a very frustrating medical bill debacle and was told again and again that they couldn't help/my case wasn't one they would work on. Todd instead took the time to meet with me, discuss the facts of my case, write up several letters on my behalf, and used his legal proficiency to advocate for me in a way I can't say many others would have. He doesn't sugar-coat or build up unrealistic expectations, and wants to honestly convey the reality of the options he can pursue for you. He's genuine and thoughtful, exudes a very confident humility that is so great to have in a lawyer and made me feel at ease immediately. Even more, he was successful in getting my debt cancelled and removed from collections and did so with unwavering skill, empathy, and professionalism. A really phenomenal lawyer all around and the Puget Sound region is lucky to have him.

Todd Nichols represented me in a personal injury case. He is an outstanding attorney, extremely knowledgeable about the process as a whole, and always upfront with both the strong aspects of a case and those that could pose potential obstacles. He was always available to speak if I had a question and always responded to calls in a very timely fashion. In addition, and most importantly, he truly cares about his clients and will go above and beyond to provide excellent legal representation. I could not have asked for a better attorney and would highly recommend his services.

I'm very pleased that I chose Matt Stock to represent me.  He was compassionate, straightforward and patient with me.  The day I met him in person I got a good feeling about him.  He seemed pleasant to talk to and looked like he had integrity.  My initial impression was confirmed throughout our interactions in the following months.  He never sugar coated anything, he was respectfully direct and always made time for me.  Thanks to his knowledge, expertise and the time he devoted to helping me prepare my defense, (and I guess the details of the case to some extent) the commissioner did rule in my favor.  I would highly recommend this attorney to help you with your issue.  I have never had any run-ins with the law or courts.  If I find myself in a position needing representation again, Matt Stock will be at the top of my list!

These attorneys are the most compassionate, empathetic, ethical, and dedicated attorneys. I hired them to represent me on 3 protection order cases and 1 criminal case. I was facing the possibility of losing my career due to my cases. But Matt Stock won all 4 of my cases!! Matt went above and beyond by diving deep into investigating my cases, discovering discrepancies, and developing effective strategies to successfully win all 4 of my cases. There were times that I felt so scared and wanted to give up. But Matt would encourage and empower me to keep moving forward and he truly understood my fears. I knew that I could trust Matt and his partners, which is not easy to say regarding attorneys. These attorneys truly care about their clients and they are very passionate about what they do. The work ethic and integrity that they demonstrated was beyond amazing. If you’re looking for experienced trial attorneys that know how to argue in a courtroom and will deliver results, hire Matt Stock and his partners.

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.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

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.
