completion, I was fortunate enough to find Scott. It felt like divine intervention, as he is not only compassionate but also a lawyer who genuinely prioritizes doing the right thing.
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.

G Geoffrey Gibbs and Ion Johnson are both commissioners for Snohomish County.
Anderson Hunter is the legal counsel for Snohomish County.
Anderson Hunter is also the legal counsel for Dawson Place.
Anderson Hunter is also the legal counsel for Janice Ellis.
Now why is this important?
Janice Ellis paid 300,000.00 (yes I have the check) that earns her 12% on her return on her money.
Now the county is CO-OWNERS of Dawson Place (with a Judge)
Married Couples at the County that have conflicts;
Please tell me you get this. Well it gets better. All these cases are not creditable because they are all invested in this "dawson Place" that is no more than the wolf's house hiding behind our victimized children...
Prosecutors, DSHS, FBI, SAU, SIU, are all housed together.
Judge George F B Appel - sister in law Judge Tam Bui
Lead Prosecutor Dawson Place is Wallace Langbehn, his wife ? Judge Jennifer Langbehn.. (fair trial- not a chance in hell)
Mark Roe PA -married to Lisa Paul PA and also past president of DP
Judge Cindy Larsen (also worked at dawson place) and her husband SIU, Jeffrey Ross (sheriff at Dawson Place)
PA Jason Cummings and Court facilitator Kimberly Cummings (and a brother Justin Cummins... ???? W t F
Judge Joseph Wilson and Public Records Officer Cecilia Wilson.
Now we have Judge Paul Thompson who APPPOINTED HIS WIFE Whitney Riviera.. to be a Judge.... There are so many reason why Anderson Hunter law firm prevents us from a fair and impartial hearing... Ion Johnson issued a anti harassment order against me because I asked for a firefighters public records.... Free Speech is not important to people who want their actions covered up.

Nicholas Fisher handled Escrow for a very complicated commercial property that I brokered. He was able to bring together folks from different cultures and make certain that we all communicated with ease and clarity. His expertise and instincts are phenomenal.

Mr. Fisher represented me in a civil matter recently. We obtained a judgment and have been successful in collecting from the other side. He advised on the best course of action to take and backed up his recommendation with applicable statutes and contingency plans that we could take, should the need to do so arise.
Mr. Fisher has also provided guidance on tax matters and other financial/real estate related. I highly recommend him.

Gave retainer in March 2017 to have IRS form 843 submitted. I did a follow up with him beginning in June 2017 and after repeated calls and emails I finally got a call in July of 2017. he didn't submit power of attorney form in March but is doing it now (July 2017). in August he made a correction or clarification on the filing of the 2848 form.I attempted several follow up calls and emails from November 2017 through my last on in January 2018. None have been responded too. Finally decided I had no choice but to first dispute my charges with my credit card company so I could get my retainer back, fire Nic, and now get someone else to file the form 843 for me. I'm pretty patient and allowed him ample time to make progress (over 10 months) and in the end, he barely took the time to file form 2848 (power of attorney) with the IRS. Lack of professionalism by not doing the work, not keeping me informed, not returning my calls, and not responding to my emails. I wasn't over the top in my requests....perhaps three messages and two or three follow up emails from August 2017 to January 2018. Now I had to take the time to actually sit here and write this complaint. You now owe me for my time Nic.

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.

Mr Brewe was my lawyer for about 14 years on a complex divorce and custody. He and his staff saw me through to the end and won time and time again. If you want to get it done, ethically, quickly and right, Mr Brewe and his staff are the ones you want to hire. Mr Brewe is respected by his fellow attorneies and judges alike. Excellent client communication as well

I went into mediation negotiations with great hesitation. Ken put my mind at ease and when the dust settled I came out better than expected. Ken & staff are the best!

Representation was pathetic at best. Ken is very hard to communicate with as he doesn't give you the total answer till after the fact. Does not listen very well to his client, nor did he believe in his client/me. Accounting practices leave very much to be desired, missed numerous entries/expenses and the math was horrible. Has a negative attitude about the Judges and failed to counter the Mediator on numerous questionable decisions. Nice guy, just not a fighter.
In my opinion, If payment was based on his performance, he would owe me money. Five year Sham

After having moved to Canada Terry Preshaw has helped me attain and maintain a travel document that allows me to keep my green card and work in the States. There are many tricky elements involved in this process. With patience, diligence and clarity Terry guided me through every step. She is an open and deeply caring human being who has stood right by my side in times of complications. Every problem I encountered Terry was able to solve; she helped me stay calm and I felt reassured that things were being taken care of by a professional who is highly resourceful and competent.

I hired Terry upon a referral from a friend. My immigration process took 2 1/2 years from start to finish. Right from the very beginning Terry was very professional, kind and patient. Terry always made time for me when I had a question that her assistant couldn't answer for me ( which wasn't very often ). She never made me feel like any question was too small or unimportant. Terry kept me calm whenever I would get nervous or impatient. Miss Preshaw's philosophy is simple " never lie and always be transparent" for if we are transparent then we have nothing to hide, therefore we have no reason to lie. I can't say enough good things about Terry and her staff. From start to finish they were there for me 100% of the way. Terry and her assistant Ann-Elise would always put things back into perspective for me. I will be forever grateful to them both for going above and beyond in helping to make my immigration process go as smoothly as possible. I have referred a couple of people to miss Preshaw's office and will continue to do so in the future. Two thumbs up from me...keep up the good work Terry!

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.

Our family is so thankful to Renee for her expert legal advice and compassion during the most stressful time of our lives. Our married daughter was 8 months pregnant when her husband walked out the door, leaving her and her 7 year old son with no explanation or financial support. We hired Renee who immediately went to work on a parenting plan, child support, and did her best to help support us with our court cases. After a year long case, our daughter's divorce was finalized and she was awarded primary custody of both young children. Now we are able to ensure our grandchildren are going to be raised in a stable and loving home with our family. Stacie, paralegal, was also amazing and there for us when we had so many questions! What a great team, we are so THANKFUL to have outstanding legal advice and representation.

I hired her for my case and she did an amazing job at getting the custody for my son. She was friendly, kind, smart and professional with her job and how she approached my case. She took on a tough one and helped me out a great deal!

The first impression during the consult was Renee was very intelligent and knew her stuff. She appeared to be honest with what she truly thought we could accomplish. She had another attorney Karan help because it was cheaper. But it took his WAY longer to do everything and he clearly had no idea what he was doing. We stared to feel like she didn’t have time for us and was squeezed our case into her work load. Looking back she shouldn’t have taken our case and been honest that she couldn’t take another client, she tried her best but was too busy to really give our case the attention it deserved, this was about our child after all and deserved to be not just squeezed in.
The worst part is at the end of it all, not being satisfied we reached out after already having paid $10,000, we had a balance of a little over $600. She then told us to pay what we could. At that point we had nothing to pay, we had paid all we could and didn’t bother attempting to borrow money from friends and family we just didn’t pay anything. Months had passed with no communication and then my husband gets a phone call saying we are in collections and that Renee is suing us over $600 we owed her. I called the office confused they said since we didn’t pay anything they sent us to collections. I explained Renee said to pay what we could, which was nothing Stacie here paralegal then said that meant “within reason”. If some type of minimum payment was due then that should have been stated. I reached out via email to Renee stating I want to see my final notice that says you’re sending me to collections. She said she doesn’t need to do that and that she had said she would “be willing to accept anything”. So now we are in collections and she will not pull it from collections after telling us we only needed to pay what we could.
Renee stated one thing and did another. If we knew this was going to collections we would have asked friends and family to help. After paying her THOUSANDS of dollars and being told to pay “what we could”, we find ourselves in collections over $600,
Do NOT recommend. Do NOT use.

Mr. Follis was kind enough to hear our case regarding false claims against us from a rental car company. He agreed to meet with us and follow up regarding the case. He is professional, courteous and genuine. He helped us achieve peace of mind, especially when we got the email, "Case Closed"...

I hired Jack in 2016 after being rear ended while being pregnant. After getting nowhere with the other parties insurance company, I called Jack and he went to work on my case. We settled for much more than I was expecting and he made the process such as easy as could be. I was referred to him from a family friend and I will continue to refer to him to anyone because of his level of professionalism and experience.

I was rear ended by a commercial van and was getting nowhere with the insurance company. The accident aggravated a pre-existing condition and my PIP had run out. When I met with John he immediately put me at ease. He took the time to ask plenty of questions and explain the process and what to expect. I hired him on the spot. John kept me informed every step of the way and answered every question. We settled my case for far more that I was expecting. I got a generous settlement and all of my medical expenses were paid. I would definitely recommend John Follis.

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.

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.

I will never forget the fears that I felt when I went through my dependency back in 09. I hated myself for my mistakes and I no longer believed in myself. Mr. Wogsland never was too busy to work for or with me. He walked me through my case and fought tooth and nail throughout the entire process. He wouldn't let me allow the state or the father's to abuse their power. He gave me an OPD social worker and helped me navigate the entire process. Later when the case was closed and I had to go to court to protect my son from his dad Mr. Wogsland was able to provide me with documentation I needed from the dependency which ended up protecting my son again from his dad. Mr. Wogsland refused to allow my daughters dad and CPS to try to agree to extremely strict visitation denying me visits that wouldn't let me have my daughters overnight for 2 yrs AFTER I had completed inpatient at a PPW program and all the other court ordered Services I had completed already. Now I am coming back to him again because I know in my heart he can help me again. My youngest daughter was sent to Florida with her father who has been beating her and denying me my rights as a parent. She is in foster care in Florida and I am needing help getting information from my previous case. I know that I can go to Mr. Wogsland and ask him for his help in getting the correct documents if he still has access to them because he has already shown me before that he cares about my family and wants our family to be complete and with his help my daughter will be safe for the first time in 7 yrs. I know from how he has helped me in the past that we aren't just another case to him we are a family and we are important. I will always be grateful for everything he has done for my family and if you are in my shoes I wore back in 09 and you find out that he is assigned to you then this is your lucky day. You will have an attorney that will fight with respect to the courts and demand your rights are being met. Thank you for everything. Because of you Mr. Wogsland my children are safe, healthy, stable and secure and now I am finally getting my youngest daughter home because of all the hard work you helped me with back then.

Melanie is THE lawyer you want. She saved me from a pretty big hole I dug myself by being in denial at my divorce was going to happen. She had brilliant strategies and never let me get sucked into the narrative by the other side. I ended up with a rather favorable settlement and it's 100% to Melanie's credit. She will not steer you wrong. Thank you, Melanie for all your hard work.

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 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.
