Mr. Malcolm just had to deal with a case of mine for over 5 years, where most attorneys would have just caved and would have settled for 10% of what I received. My other attorneys just floated my case to him, thinking it wasn't worth their time. Mr. Malcolm had patience and knew that I had been wronged, he fought for my case and eventually got me even more than I had ever expected. I would still trade what I had received to go back in time and delete that day, undo what happened. But Sean Malcolm, his knowledge and his team made my case end with a fair settlement, which I am greatful for. Thank you Sean

My experience with Sean and Russ was excellent! I originally hired another firm that I found through a google search that was absolutely terrible! I reached out to Malcom Law Firm to see if they had any advice or if this was a normal turn around for the kind of case I had and Sean spoke to me about my case for at least 30 minutes right away!
I felt heard and validated throughout the entire process and received regular check-ins from Russ and Sean both giving me updates on my case. They were transparent during the negotiation stage and helped navigate an otherwise frustrating and stressful situation. Sean even checked in after my case was completed to make sure I was doing well and was happy with the outcome! I would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone in need of their services!

Before I've even started to type this, I have tears of thanks running down my face.
From our very first conversation, Kristen assured me and reassured me over and over again that we would get through this nightmare together and that my daughter and I would be happy and safe. Despite my extreme anxiety and stressful breakdowns through the 2+ year case, she was patient, understanding and supportive.
Being in a marriage where I was degraded and abused for years, left me with zero self esteem and no conidence at all. I believed every awful thing the ex told me...( he'd get full custody, I'd never see my daughter again, he'd put me in jail for kidnapping etc..)
I can't even tell you how many terrified tears I cried in the beginning. Step by step, with Kristen in my corner, I started to feel more secure and confident that I had finally made the right choice by leaving.
While my ex made this a LONG drawn out process, Kristen kept me in the loop and as calm as possible.
Two years later, I'm back to the strong, confident, independent woman I was before my miserable marriage. I know that I am a great mom and I've made the best choices for my daughter and I.
I went from daily anxiety/panic attacks in fear of losing my baby girl, to laughing at the absolute ridiculous nonsense that my ex used to terrify me with. The first great choice I'd made in years was hiring Kristen.
Even when I wanted to give up, she wouldn't let me. Even when I was willing to settle for less than my daughter and I deserved, she wouldn't let me. She fought harder for me than I would've even fought for myself. And everything she encouraged me to fight for was absolutely correct.
My daughter and I are living our best lives and are protected and worry free.
My simple words of thanks will never be enough.

I lost custody of my then 5 year old daughter to her abusive father for 2 years. I appealed and won, but during those two years I had to do everything I could to fight for her safety and freedom. It was grueling and relentless. I reached out to many lawyers and professionals trying to find people to help but was often re-traumatized when they minimized or dismissed the abuse. When I had my first call with Kristen, I finally felt seen and heard. She listened to me with empathy and understanding, and I knew she would be in our corner the whole way. She knew the laws inside and out, made it very accessible for me to understand, and she was so smart in how she approached my very complex case. She helped secured better outcomes than I could've even imagined after such horrific experiences in family court. She was always responsive, prepared, and was an advocate for me and my daughter's safety first and foremost. I can't thank her enough for taking our case when many other's wouldn't or would've tried to downplay our experiences. She saved our lives. She helped give my daughter a second chance to regain her childhood. We have a final DVPO until her 18th birthday thanks to Kristen's advocacy for our safety. Getting referred to her was a complete turning point, and I will forever be grateful. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Hiring Kristen to represent me was the best choice I made during the difficult first days of separation, and now that my divorce is final I'm even happier with my decision. Through the whole process I had someone on my side who is smart and capable, and who I also liked talking to as a human being. She knows the ins and outs of WA family law. She gave me thorough and realistic advice. She respected that I wanted a low-conflict divorce, although if we'd gone to court I have no doubt she would have been a tough fighter. Her billing is honest and transparent so it actually worked out (relatively) affordable. I hope this is the last time I get divorced, but I'll be happy to work with Kristen for my future family law needs.

I had found out about Shashi from the Avvo reviews, and reached out to her for a real estate related help. She simply works magic by comforting her clients to know of what the worst case scenario looks like. In this process, she immediately alleviates the pain that anyone would normally have as they get into situations requiring an attorney's help. I feel that sometimes the mere imagination of the worst case scenario gets us into bad resolutions and this is exactly where a great attorney like Shashi comes to help by giving you a more realistic picture of the impact spectrum.

I first consulted with Shahzad in 2015 . Was unsure about how or if I could be able to start a company. I ended up hiring him and working with him ever since then. Not only did we set up a company but he has been a constant professional support throughout. I have consulted with him on numerous varied situations where his advice and actions have really helped and protected us.

I was referred through an employee assistance program for questions about family immigration. Shahzad answered all of my questions very efficiently. He treated my concerns as legitimate, helped me determine what was and wasn't legally relevant, and walked me through the potential ramifications of a few legal options forward. Very positive experience.

My wife and I met with Amy a while back to ensure our assets were taken care of in case the worst happened. She did a thorough job explaining our options, listened to some previous experience we had, and helped us understand which choice made the most sense for us. She was very upfront about the process, explained the potential results of our decisions, and allowed us to make our own decisions in some of the more complex areas. It was a pleasure working with her and we would definitely recommend her to others!

Hi
I highly recommend this firm. The people are nice and sympathetic about your case. They will also be quite straight forward with you. I have used them since 2013 and they always get my business. I have used them for arbitration, litigation and just consultation/retainage. Lisa Do, Janice and Brenda listen to understand. Thank you to all of you.

Unfortunately my case was too late to contact her, but she provided me a very warm and cheer up message, and immediately I felt her professionalizm is very high and totally trustable. Highly recommend her to anyone who consider to hire a family attorney, and don't wait. It definitely worth to contact her even if just a consultation. I'm sure that she will protect your rights with her warm heart.

I cannot say enough good about this law firm.
I hired the law firm of Susan Millican O'Brian in August 2011 for a Third Party Custody Case of my grandsons after my son was stabbed. Susan will tell you in the beginning what your options are and will allow you to make the decisions based on this information and she explained what the outcome(s) could be.
Although the case was pretty simple in the beginning, it became a high profile, difficult case due to other parties filing a custody case against me and THEIR attorney kept dragging it out. But Susan and her staff were able to push back on the other party and in the end, we did prevail and won the case hands down.
Susan and her attorneys were very driven to stay with it and they guided me all along the way with the progress and what would happen during each step of the way. They communicated with me and we worked together as a great team. The entire office was involved in my case and all had a personalble desire to see it to the end.
I would very highly recommend this law firm of Susan Millican O'Brian any day and feel that she was very professional and has been willing to work with me all the way.

She made the entire process not difficult at all. Explained everything from start to finish.

Excellent representation at an excellent price.

Don't let her age fool you, Laura knows her stuff. I had a difficult and very contentious case with my ex. My ex was attempting to restrict my visitation with my daughter. Laura was all over it, she completely destroyed my exes case and laid waste to her first lawyer pre-trail and her second lawyer during the trial. I went from possibly having my visitation restricted to gaining primary custody of my daughter after not seeing her for a year and a half.
I really can't say enough about Laura. My ex continues hiring new lawyer after new lawyer and Laura continues to send them packing!! I wouldn't dream of having anyone else in my corner. If you want someone that is going to fight tooth and nail for you and isn't going to BS you she's the one you need. If you choose anyone else and find yourself on the otherside of court against Laura...well good luck!

We have never been involved in legal proceedings before, and Jeff was extremely helpful in explaining and preparing us for the next steps of the process.

He went above and beyond in advocating for us and persistently communicating with the defendants' representation. We are extremely grateful for Jeff and highly recommend his services!

We engaged Jeff Coats to represent us in a civil case involving an unprovoked bite by a dangerous dog in a children’s park. The owner of the dangerous dog was still ‘at large’ when he agreed to take our case when other animal attorneys refused.
Jeff was able to navigate through the complexities of legally discovering the owner of the dangerous dog. His expertise in the insurance industry yielded a favorable settlement from the home insurance company.

Regarding Tony Alfieri,
After being referred to Toni Alfieri by a mutual acquaintance, I was impressed with Tony's approach to our initial meeting and my legal situation: a hit and run rear-ended car accident. Using his own personal time, he conveniently set up our first appointment for an interview to get acquainted with me. Having a great amount of personal knowledge regarding neck, shoulder, and back injuries and the pain involved, he was able to 'draw me a mental picture' of how to proceed with our legal case and what I could expect.
Throughout our months of negotiations, Tony was completely 'up front' about every detail of every issue that I faced in dealing with the insurance companies involved. I felt very confident with his guidance and the advice he proposed as we went along. I knew he had my back and wanted the BEST for me in my final settlement. I was NOT disappointed!
Tony and I developed a great camaraderie during our months of working together. To my challenger, he was a positive force to be reckoned with; to me he was the embodiment of coolness.
Thank you, Tony, for a job well-done!

Adria,
Made our experience with her so wonderful and with a lot of care as well.
Unlike a lot of people in her profession she helped us with our worries
and concerns. She gave us full attention and even told us there where things
we could do for ourselves that would save us money. You don't get that from
many people in a whole lot of professions. she's simply a kind and honest person
who cares for you personally. Darrell and Sandra

I discovered Mr. Leavitt while researching for my own case and was thoroughly impressed by his superb response brief in a CR60 appeal. Deciding to hire him for my own CR60 motion was one of the best decisions I've made. From my first visit, I was warmly welcomed by his professional team, including Shannon and Melodie, his knowledgeable paralegal. Mr. Leavitt’s depth of legal expertise, particularly in cases involving domestic violence, is extraordinary. He is a true advocate for victims and fiercely protects the best interests of children. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation in both King and Snohomish counties.

Honest, Reliable, and Efficient
I hired Kris to help me get full custody of my children. I was just about 1-year into a divorce which included a parenting plan requiring 50/50 custody with my ex and a child support order that had me paying each month. My ex had essentially abandoned the children and her obligation but I was stuck with the court orders, thus stuck with paying child support and not having any closure for the children. It was an incredibly stressful situation and Kris was on top of things from day 1. I could write a 10-page review about all that went on but I’ll summarize by saying he achieved the outcome I was looking for. Furthermore, he secured temporary orders, almost immediately after taking my case, which provided my family with a tremendous amount of relief during the rest of the court proceedings.
Prior to meeting with Kris I had talked with several other attorneys. I had a lot of legal experience having handled my own divorce pro se. I felt like most were just telling me what I wanted to hear and didn’t seem to care much about me. In a few cases I thought I would be better off representing myself. Kris was different. I hired him on the spot.
He listened, he understood, and he explained things very clearly. He does not provide false hope. He explains strategies clearly and allows you to control the level of risk/reward you are comfortable taking. In my case he delivered exactly what we had talked about in our very first meeting. I felt confident in Kris’s representation. That’s huge when you’re going through any type of stressful case. I never worried that “the other team” would somehow get one over on him. They never did.
There’s an office behind Kris and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention some of the other things that made my experience less stressful. Kris utilizes a paralegal to handle legal filings, documentation updates, and other activities around a legal case. Melody was assigned to my case and she was outstanding. Our filings were always on time or early, our responses were timely, and I never worried about missing a deadline or having anything fall through the cracks. Shay in the billing department was also very pleasant. Bills were clear and easy to understand. Bills arrive via email and so do receipts for payment. This made it simple to review, pay, and track my activity from my phone. The office itself is pleasant and peaceful and it feels very successful. I wouldn’t know if they have a voice mail system as my calls were always answered by a human and returned same day if Kris wasn’t available. Emails were also returned same day or early the next day if I sent one off in the late evening.
Kris will definitely be my attorney should I ever require legal assistance in the future. I’m certain he could “duke it out in court” but his demeanor and professionalism secured my outcome without having to go there. He’s always focused on securing the outcome and he works very well with opposing council to achieve it.

Kristofer Leavitt is the absolute best attorney. I'm so incredibly thankful and grateful that I found Kris and that he's my attorney. I'm a small business owner and was served with a civil litigation lawsuit from an ex client. The lawsuit was not justified whatsoever. I had never been sued before and didn't know where to begin. Needless to say, I was petrified. I was completely inexperienced in legal protocol. I knew I had to get an attorney ASAP. I had consultations with several Las Vegas attorneys. Kris was the first one that I spoke with and the best one. In my initial consultation, Kris already had the complaint against me in front of him and began advising me. The other attorneys that I spoke with were inconsistent, not providing real advice, were charging an arm and a leg, were not sharp, and were out for their own good- this was obvious. The other attorneys did not care about what I was going through, but Kris did. Kris is ethical, sharp, and strategic and aggressive in legal initiatives; he's seriously the best. Kris has been my side the past 6 months, which have been some of the most gruesome in my life. I would not want any other attorney by my side except for him. Kris is dependable, reliable, quick, patient, thorough, and detail oriented. I knew from the first call with Kris that I would be able to count on him. Kris truly cares about his clients and he shows that. If you want an attorney that you can count on, that has your best interest in mind, and will fight for you, Kris is the attorney. If I have any future legal issues, Kris will be the attorney that I turn to. He is seriously hands down the best!!!! I would give him one million stars if I could!!!!

Mr Hardman handled custody and child support issues for me. My ex was threatening to take my child to another state and was refusing my phone calls to her. After I hired him, she agreed to sign a new parenting plan. While things aren't perfect now- I do have regular visits. He will work for you plus calms everyone down.

My wife and I had Raemi update all of our estate planning documents (will, trusts, etc). It had been 10 years since we had seen a lawyer, so much had changed. She patiently explained all of our options, counseled us about changes in state and federal law, and gave us her opinion about what would work best for us.
Her communication through email was timely and thorough, and her preparation of the documents was the same. She circled back around 2 months after completion of signing, just to check in and make sure that we were doing what we were supposed to be doing on our end.
We will definitely use Raemi for all of our future estate planning needs.

My first counseling with Bill (William) was in the month of Oct’2017. Right from the outset, I found Bill to be professional and systematic - he explained me the legal procedures in sufficient details (and in a way that I could understand them to my satisfaction); cadence of events and rough timelines around them; and the documents that would be required of me and the legal documentation that he and his office would prepare on my behalf. After talking-to and evaluating a few more lawyers in the area, I was convinced that Bill would be represent me the best, following which I hired him.
Bill has a strong bias for action, and in the weeks that followed, he proved to be increasingly resourceful - he asked the right set of questions (from me) to be able to assess the situation properly, and allowed me to ask mine.
His recommendations and advices were tremendously helpful throughout, and they proved to be instrumental to quickly move forward with things. He was swift and detail-oriented with the paper-work and and ensured the documentation was thorough and error-free. He was timely in his communication and kept me informed around the proceedings. He and his office were also very accommodative of my schedule - even though I was not in the city for long durations of time, scheduling time with him over the phone (to have my questions answered or to get a status-update), was a breeze. He is also very responsive over emails.
Thanks to Bill, my case concluded smoothly and as expected. Overall, I found Bill to be reliable, responsible and accountable and would strongly recommend him and his services.

My attorney Mr. William Buchanan is the best attorney ever. He is the second attorney that I had to hire for my custody case. I hired Mr. Buchanan less than a month to the date of my trail. Before I called him I went through a list of 9 other attorneys that actually did not want to take my case saying that it was very complicated and a contested case, they also said that I called them a little late and they just can’t take my case. BUT when I got to Mr. Buchanan, he was the most sensitive and understand attorney I have ever met, he actually started to help me even before I met with him in person or even signed anything with him. He took on what other attorneys saw as complicated and not enough time left for them to do anything and won the case, nevertheless, what Mr. Buchanan said he will accomplish happened and I got EVERY THING I ASKED FOR AND MORE.
Mr. Buchanan is the BEST attorney you will ever meet:
1. When you tell him your story he will remember accurately everything like all he has is your case.
2. Very well organized.
3. Very sensitive
4. Compassionate
5. Very understanding
6. Not judgmental
7. Very honest in his work, nothing but the truth.
8. Very smart, so that, if the other party lies, Mr. Buchanan can ask him questions that will reveal the lies.
9. HE IS WORTH IT EVERY DIME.
By hiring Mr. Buchanan, I got what I wanted and MORE, he is a person that I will remember the rest of my life, because his diligent work saved my child from years to come of pain and hurts.

I hired William Buchanan to handle the onslaught of litigation from my ex, post divorce decree. Mr. Buchanan does a great job of advising of what the possible outcomes are of particular strategy. That's why I've been using him going on three years now.
After my decree and having two other attorneys who adopted whatever position I wanted with little question and poor results, I was looking for someone with more experience to thoroughly explain the pros and cons of my legal questions. I found him to be very thorough and patient; obviously key qualities if you're the type of client that wants to know what's going on.
Mr. Buchanan is also pretty easy to reach if you have questions about your ongoing case. As mentioned above, I've had a couple of attorneys and client communication results have varied quite a bit: some won't return calls, some are afraid of email and treat it like a black hole. Mr. Buchanan won't leave you hanging as your case develops.

I have worked with Mr. Neiman for many years. He is straight forward and has shown himself to be detailed, strategic, and has clearly stood out from over the 6 other lawyers I had the opportunity to previously work with. His experience is vast and and knowledge is most impressive. I do not impress easily nor do I put my trust in someone blindly. He is of excellent character and I have retained his services on several occasions, each time being in greater awe of him. His strategic prowess is measurably far and above what I have seen before. You are in great hands with Mr. Neiman.
