Levy was a lawyer that came in to help in a large class action suit that we were involved in. While I did not
personally have much interaction with him he was a tremendous help in bringing our lawsuit to a satisfactory
conclusion. I would highly recommend the law firm of Levy ∙ von Beck & Associates, P.S.

I can’t say enough about Selby Brown from Summit Law Group. She's not just any lawyer; she's the beacon of hope you wish for when everything else seems to fall apart. I found Selby when I was at my lowest, and after a horrible experience with two other lawyers. Facing a situation with a business partner who nearly wrecked me financially and emotionally, Selby was a game-changer.
What really sets Selby apart isn't just her sharp business law and litigation skills; it's her unparalleled patience and genuine care. Imagine diving into a legal battle, feeling out of depth, and then there's Selby. She didn't just guide me; she made the complex legal world accessible to me. For someone for whom English is a second language, and who finds the legal world as challenging as learning a third language, her patience and clarity was priceless.
Selby took the time to meticulously explain every legal procedure and after every discussion, she followed up with an email summarizing our conversation and outlining the next steps. This might sound simple, but it was a breath of fresh air compared to my previous experiences with 2 other lawyers. Other lawyers left me in the dark, not bothering to confirm they'd received my emails or to clarify my doubts. Selby's responsiveness and dedication to keeping me in the loop were not just helpful; they were a stark contrast to what I'd faced before and immensely valuable. I can’t emphasize enough how important this was for me and helped me not fall into severe depression.
Selby was also incredibly mindful of the costs involved, making every effort to minimize expenses without cutting corners on her services. Though I decided to drop the case, it wasn't a loss. Thanks to Selby, I came out of the ordeal emotionally intact, with a wealth of knowledge about our judicial system. This understanding has been instrumental in preparing me for my next venture.
After this experience, I've turned to Selby and Summit Law Group for all my business-related legal needs with my new company. Selby is my first point of contact for a wide range of business law issues, from company formations to business disputes and trial litigations. What sets them apart is not just their comprehensive knowledge but also their network of specialized expertise. Whenever a situation arises that falls outside their direct scope of services, Selby ensures I’m connected with the right experts within their network. This holistic approach to legal support makes Selby and Summit Law Group indispensable to me and my business.

I highly recommend Driano Law for estate planning services. Attorney Dominick Driano has extensive knowledge in estate law and provides excellent, customized service.
Mr. Driano took the time to understand my specific situation and goals. He crafted a personalized estate plan that included a will, healthcare proxy, power of attorney and trust. He thoroughly explained each document and ensured I understood how they fit into my overall plan.
Throughout the process, Mr. Driano was patient, responsive and made sure all my questions were answered. The administrative staff was friendly, organized and efficient in handling all paperwork.
I was very impressed with Driano Law. Mr. Driano is a true expert in estate planning who develops plans that protect assets and ensure wishes are carried out. I now have peace of mind knowing my estate is in good hands.

Our late mother, who did not trust used car salesmen or Drs. trusted Mr Driano implicitly.
Mr. Driano is a calm, reliable, accessible, available attorney. He originally helped me prepare a will. When my husband died he handled the resolution of the estate and was always available to answer any questions I might have and had access to reliable outside resources where needed.

Personally and professionally, I have worked with many attorneys. Ms. Hamburger was, without a doubt, the most effective and compassionate attorney that I have hired. She took the time to review the details of our case and to develop a plan that invited the 'opposing party' to join us in a solution to bring justice. Ms. Hamburger demonstrated expertise, integrity and understanding in a highly complex situation. I highly recommend Ms. Hamburger and her practice.

I am an experienced Washington attorney who has both fought Levi Larson on behalf of one of my Malpractice clients AND, subsequent to that case resolving, hired him to help knock down a complaint made against my physician wife's practice. Happily, the complaint against my wife made to the Department of Health, Medical Quality Assurance Commission was dismissed with a finding that she had acted entirely within the standard of care for her practice area. She, of course, knew it the whole time, but proving something is different than just knowing it. Levi helped us prove it. Thank you, Attorney Levi Larson!

Imagine diving into a legal battle, feeling out of depth, and then there's Selby. She didn't just guide me; she made the complex legal world accessible to me. For someone for whom English is a second language, and who finds the legal world as challenging as learning a third language, her patience and clarity was priceless.
Selby took the time to meticulously explain every legal procedure and after every discussion, she followed up with an email summarizing our conversation and outlining the next steps. This might sound simple, but it was a breath of fresh air compared to my previous experiences with 2 other lawyers. Other lawyers left me in the dark, not bothering to confirm they'd received my emails or to clarify my doubts. Selby's responsiveness and dedication to keeping me in the loop were not just helpful; they were a stark contrast to what I'd faced before and immensely valuable. I can’t emphasize enough how important this was for me and helped me not fall into severe depression.
Selby was also incredibly mindful of the costs involved, making every effort to minimize expenses without cutting corners on her services. Though I decided to drop the case, it wasn't a loss. Thanks to Selby, I came out of the ordeal emotionally intact, with a wealth of knowledge about our judicial system. This understanding has been instrumental in preparing me for my next venture.
After this experience, I've turned to Selby and Summit Law Group for all my business-related legal needs with my new company. Selby is my first point of contact for a wide range of business law issues, from company formations to business disputes and trial litigations. What sets them apart is not just their comprehensive knowledge but also their network of specialized expertise. Whenever a situation arises that falls outside their direct scope of services, Selby ensures I’m connected with the right experts within their network. This holistic approach to legal support makes Selby and Summit Law Group indispensable to me and my business.

Mr. Contos recently represented my sister and I in handling our late Father's estate. Our case involved a dispute that ended up being handled in mediation. Throughout the entire process we felt Mr. Contos was very knowledgeable, ethical and compassionate. We ended up settling our case without going to trial, although I believe Mr. Contos would have done an excellent job litigating on our behalf. We would highly recommend Mr. Contos and his entire staff and we will most certainly use him in the future if needed.

I was very distraught when I met Steve Contos after my fathers death.I had spent alot of time interviewing lawyers and when I spoke to Steve I was very impressed by the ease of the conversation,his intelligence and patience.I went on to work with Steve for approx 1 1/2 years over the dispute involving my step mother and the division of the estate.There were incredible twists and turns in the case and it was all much easier having Steve there.He has a gift for being able to take very complex ideas and problems and transfer them to paper making it easier to comprehend the entire issue.He was a great listener,carefully and tirelessly worked the case while still being conscious of cost containment.He always kept us abreast of developments,sent paper work for our review etc. Ours was a very challenging probate case and he handled it with ease making the process much easier to tolerate.It was not easy to go through this while grieving a death.Steve comes very highly recommended by me .If I ever find myself in an unsolvable dispute I would use his services again in a heart beat.Thank You Steve Contos,Kim,Nathan and the whole team!!!! Job very well done.

Imagine after many years of marriage your partner has you served for divorce at your office. She wants an ungodly amount of maintenance/money for 20 plus years and wants to keep you from your son (who is a Division 1 Top Recruit) unless you agree to pay more money. My ex-wife's attorney was vile, ruthless and not a good person in my opinion.
This was what I was facing and I was a total broken man. I was in denial and needed the assistance of a professional attorney to keep me from hurting myself. I was not thinking in my right mind and just wanted it to go away.
I met Lisa Gilmore at the lowest point of my life. She listened, was compassionate, funny and incredibly professional. Lisa coached and guided me through every phase of the divorce. Her courtroom demeanor was unbeatable. The judge had total respect for her and I felt this helped my case immensely.
My main focus was my son. How could a person who spent 80% of his son's time/life be asked to leave his home? Lisa again helped me process that this was not the end of the world... In fact, I believe I became a more loving father in the end.
Let's face it... No one ever truly wins in a divorce but I can say without a doubt, I would have been in a horrible position if not for Lisa Gilmore and her staff. I thank God I met her and I thank Victoria (also in her office) for giving me the extra nudge to push me through the divorce.
My relationship with my son is outstanding and I am even friendly with the ex-wife... but I still have my shirt, my dignity and feel very blessed Lisa Gilmore represented me.
I am the typical guys' guy. I spent many years in the military and while I like to have fun, I tell it like it is... Trust Me!! Use Lisa Gilmore as your attorney. You will thank me later!!
Thanks again Lisa Gilmore and Staff!!
Oh, my son now plays football for a large PAC-12 University and is doing fantastic!!

Lisa was professional, sympathetic and organized. After recognizing the lack of cooperation from the opposing counsel , she was able to expedite the closure of a divorce prior to the court date, which saved everyone time, energy, and money. She expressed understanding about the pain a divorce can bring... She is truly an attorney with a "heart" !

I retained Lisa to represent me in my divorce proceedings and I couldn't be more thrilled with her work, nor more grateful for the outcome. My ex is a very high conflict personality (HCP) and chose "bulldog"-type lawyers to represent her during the protracted proceedings. Lisa is EXCEPTIONAL at dealing with HCPs--both opposing party and opposing counsel. Lisa represented me in court as well as during mediation (and everything in between) and won the claims that I needed every time. Lisa is a very collaborative-type lawyer and handles collaborative matters as easily as she does the exact opposite. For more than two years, Lisa looked after my personal well-being, preemptively addressed harassment and protection issues, guided me through strategic and long-term planning, and fought and won on my behalf the freedom from abuse and financial stability I relish today. I remain continuously grateful for all the hard work and craziness that Lisa and her awesome legal team put in on this case and heartily recommend her to anyone seeking experienced, strong legal counsel and representation in family law matters.

I don't trust her and won't advice anyone to hire her. she is not a professional attorney in my opinion.
she missed up my case and my full situation with immigration.
she doesn't know how to prepare a case and defend her clients.
she doesn't deserve even a star.
DON'T HIRE HER, you will regret later. trust me.

Erin went above and beyond with my rather complicated case, and she fought for me. She clearly articulated the steps I needed to take, what she was doing, and gave appropriate counsel along the way. I trusted her fully with my case. Global Justice's office staff are polite, professional and work very fast. As a client, I know how emotional and stressful immigration situations can be. Erin calmly assisted me through the process, knows the law intimately, and did very specific research to ensure all components were properly in place.
Erin was extremely responsive to my emails and calls. I am impressed with her national advocacy in DC, additionally with her local contacts in this pivitol time of immigration reform. She came highly recomended from another lawyer in the field, and I am so pleased to say that my case worked out in my favor-thanks to her determination.

Charges through the nose ($300+) without the skill to back it up, misogynistic and highly inappropriate behavior. There are far more better lawyers in the Seattle area for a better rate and the high competition does not justify the price and entitled primma donna attitude Kenneth has with his clients.

I was referred to Goldberg-Jones and in particular Attorney Alan by a friend who has been children's rights advocate for over 30 years (and also, yes, political correctness be damned, father's rights advocate given the still pervasive anti-men bias in the family court system, especially here on the Left Coast and states such as WA where my ex filed for divorce). My divorce and battle for at least a sensible, not massively discriminatory and/or unworkable co-parenting plan where I as a father would not be systematically pushed out of my beloved child's life, was already in progress. Attorney Alan reviewed my existing documents and provided via email and telephone consultation several pivotal pieces of advice, incl. follow-up phone class clarifying certain crucially important matters, and did not charge my a dime. (He did make clear how much his firm charger per hr. should one retain them; in retrospect, I more than likely should have retained his law firm (or similar, competent and aggressive pro-equal rights in the courthouse father's advocate attorney(s)) much earlier in my divorce process -- and will certainly give them a call if/when I get to go back to the court, which given the history of my ex-wife's behavior during the marriage as well as since she has successfully destroyed it on a whim and to achieve some financial gains without much of thought for the long-term well-being of our daughter, is fairly likely. I only wished I was referred to Attorney Alan and his firm much earlier in the process. Yes their hourly rate is on the higher end, but from my limited experience they are knowledgeable, competent, and dedicated to disenfrenchised fathers in WA state getting the best parenting rights possible in a largely dysfunctional and anti-fathers oriented (anti-) family law and practice in places such as Seattle, WA.

I consulted with Ken on more than one occasion. In reflection, I realized that I asked him similar questions several times. Not only was he patient and thorough in his responses, but he was very consistent. I would introduce new details from the prior consultation to confirm whether his guidance would be different based on these new facts. He explained in detail, why the guidance was different or the same as prior. Ken proactively reached out to me as well, when new information crossed his desk. I asked what I thought were difficult questions as I "interviewed" him/his firm for evaluation. He welcomed the open dialogue. Ken is an encyclopedia of information and very concise in his delivery. Ken also did not hesitate to give me his opinion, even when it was obvious that it was something I did not want to hear. He was direct with this kind of information and immediately followed up with how his team would handle the scenario. I am very appreciative of the guidance that Ken has provided me thus far.

Awful, horrible and never again! I was in a bad accident in 2018, the insurance company wanted releases signed within 13 hours. I knew something was right so I contacted Bernard Law Group. I should have done better research and more calling around. 2 years of treatment came to a referral for a procedure my insurance doesn't cover, doesn't even consider it it's just flat excluded from the policy. 2 years of what I am now realizing was just lies and passing blame to the other side. 2 months later and I am still waiting and being fed more lies. Viivi Vanderslice is incompeten, doesn't listen to you and just does whatever she feels is best for you without discussing or considering your wants or needs. If I could get the fee they collected for themselves I would, they don't deserve even half of what they got.

After this experience, I've turned to Selby and Summit Law Group for all my business-related legal needs with my new company. Selby is my first point of contact for a wide range of business law issues, from company formations to business disputes and trial litigations. What sets them apart is not just their comprehensive knowledge but also their network of specialized expertise. Whenever a situation arises that falls outside their direct scope of services, Selby ensures I’m connected with the right experts within their network.

I can’t say enough about Selby Brown from Summit Law Group. She's not just any lawyer; she's the beacon of hope you wish for when everything else seems to fall apart. I found Selby when I was at my lowest, and after a horrible experience with two other lawyers. Facing a situation with a business partner who nearly wrecked me financially and emotionally, Selby was a game-changer.
What really sets Selby apart isn't just her sharp business law and litigation skills; it's her unparalleled patience and genuine care. Imagine diving into a legal battle, feeling out of depth, and then there's Selby. She didn't just guide me; she made the complex legal world accessible to me. For someone for whom English is a second language, and who finds the legal world as challenging as learning a third language, her patience and clarity was priceless.
Selby took the time to meticulously explain every legal procedure and after every discussion, she followed up with an email summarizing our conversation and outlining the next steps. This might sound simple, but it was a breath of fresh air compared to my previous experiences with 2 other lawyers.
