Over the past 20 years, we've bought and sold numerous businesses, and each time we've relied on Holmquist and Gardiner to review contracts and ensure we’re fully protected and informed about every detail. Their expertise and guidance have always been spot-on and well worth the investment.
For a recent legal issue related to a business sale, Imants once again helped us navigate a potentially stressful situation with professionalism and clear advice. We're incredibly pleased with the outcome.
We highly recommend this firm without hesitation.

I was referred to Kelley Duggan by my real estate attorney, John Forderhase at Forderhase Law & Escrow, and I can't thank him enough for the recommendation. I was in the process of purchasing a property from a seller who hadn’t completed the probate process after his mother passed away in 2001. Since John didn’t specialize in probates, he referred me to Kelley at Holmquist & Gardiner.
From the very beginning, Kelley was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring. She immediately took action to resolve this complex issue, which involved going back over 20 years to locate the seller's mother's will. It was no easy task, but within a few weeks, she achieved a resolution, and the seller was appointed as the trustee of his mother's estate.
Throughout the entire process, Kelley was up front and transparent, and her hard work truly shone through. She dedicated countless hours to research and was always communicative, keeping me informed every step of the way. I am certain that without Kelley’s efforts, we would still be running in circles.
Thanks to her determination and expertise, the seller, Skip, was able to sell me his house and move on to pursue his dreams of living out the rest of his days in Montana. Kelley, thank you for all your hard work—you made the impossible possible!

Horrible experience. No where does it say they will charge $450 to talk to them in detail on the website, you only find out about this after reaching out. They also appear disorganized as I was asked how did I schedule when they gave me the link to schedule. They changed the date of the consult without verifying the date would work with me. In the emails the team I did get was very rude and condescending to me. I would recommend everyone to go elsewhere if you are looking for a lawyer.

I was extremely pleased with the counsel shared by Beth. She was warm, caring and provided me with real life outcomes instead of what could be profit over consumer favored outcome. I would highly recomend her & her firm to others in need of professional counsel. She treated me with dignity & respect and I felt cared for. Thank you, Beth!

I have had an excellent experience with CCL and Ms. Choi in the matter of a complicated easement / title situation. The office staff was super responsive, appointments were scheduled quickly and in collaboration with my schedule/availability, and the meetings I had with Ms. Choi were focused, organized, and super productive. I felt that Ms. Choi was prepared for the meetings, understood what I was dealing with, and discussed with me multiple options and potential outcomes regarding this legal matter, which is going to end up in Court. I could not have asked for a better attorney for my situation (and I have consulted with others prior to CCL) and I very much look forward to my ongoing work with CCL and Ms. Choi. I recommend CCL and Ms. Choi wholeheartedly!

I arranged a meeting with her to discuss immigration matters and seek professional validation of the process I had completed on my own. Unfortunately, during our reunion, she seemed more focused on protecting herself than genuinely assisting me. However, when I attended my USCIS appointment today, everything was in order, and the concerns she raised did not materialize. It was a stressful experience unnecessarily.

I did not have a good experience with the law firm. My main issues is that Boyoon Choi would repeatedly interrupt me and cut me off before I could finish speaking and there were some mannerisms like scoffing (in a subtle but noticeable way) that came off as pretty condescending and I received a general negative feeling from the tone of voice she used with me. She was also 6 minutes late to our Zoom meeting but cut our 30 minute meeting short nonetheless so we really only had 24 minutes together. I'm sure she would probably bill the time for 30 minutes to my MetLife benefits and not the 24 minutes that I actually got. The way I see it, if a client does not have the correct understanding then inform them in a respectful way. Trying to be subtle with mannerisms like quietly scoffing or responding with a negative tone, one that felt a bit indignant towards me feels less like you're working with someone that's trying to advocate for you and more like you're talking to someone that's trying to take out whatever stress she may be having towards you. It seems that no wonder her staff seems to sound a bit on edge over the phone as I can imagine what it can be like to be subjected to that over time.
She also knew that my home is in Snohomish County but told me that she can't help with the eviction process in that area, but took my money through my MetLife benefit anyway. That's pretty messed up.
Lastly, I also felt it was problematic to be told that she did not know the RCW that covered why a 90 day notice to vacate due to sale is not enforceable unless it is specifically mentioned in the lease agreement. When I requested clarification for her to specify how is this the case, she could only tell me it's part of the general landlord tenant rights that a lease agreement has to specify that an early termination can take place due to sale and that this language would not be specifically mentioned due to it being covered under the general umbrella of tenant rights. However, RCW 59.18.650 clearly states it's permissible for a landlord to end a lease agreement early with cause for the purpose of selling a home.
Boyoon Choi should really be careful with giving advice that she clearly does not know the basis for. It is concerning when you ask for the RCW that she does not know it, and scoffs at you while mentioning it's part of the general rights for a tenant.
Anyways, here is what I was told by another source about the permissibility of ending a lease early to sell the home:
In Washington State, typically, if a landlord provides a 90-day notice to vacate for the purpose of selling the property, this is generally considered lawful. In Washington State, the enforceability of a 90-day notice to vacate due to the sale of a property typically does not require a specific clause in the lease agreement stating that sale of the home entails the tenant moving out. The standard process allows landlords to issue such a notice as part of the rights to dispose of their property, assuming other legal and procedural requirements are met (e.g., proper notice period and service).
Lastly, she was also incorrect about my MetLife legal benefit. She said I don't have benefits for litigation as part of my benefit but in my MetLife portal it clearly states: "This service covers the Participant as a landlord for matters involving leases, security deposits and disputes with a residential tenant. The service includes attorney services for the eviction of a tenant up to and including trial."

Family court is a horrible place to end up on the best of days. Helene always had honest answers, never sugar-coated anything, and is a 'good hand in a storm'! I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, she will be my first choice.

Helene is a cut-to-the-chase type of person, which is exactly what one needs in a lawyer or consultant. She isn't there to be your therapist, and frankly, it's you dollar so knowing that and sticking the script will save you a few bucks anyway. That is not to say she's is anything besides very kind and helpful, because she is both of those things. She knows how to get results and I would highly recommend her as a lawyer and/or consultant.

She is a terrific lawyer. My case was a mess. I tried to represent myself and was completely confused. After my first session with Helene, I felt like I understood the basics of what the issues were the court could look at and what the law was. She was very responsive to my many phone calls and kept me well informed at every stage of the process. I am so grateful and my kids are in much better shape because of the advice she gave me and the outcomes she won in court. We even settled the case, even though my husband and I fought about everything in the beginning.

What a pos, has you sign a contract and takes your money and does not fight for you. It was so bad the other lawyers were making fun of him...just pitiful. Oh by the way this was in 2016 thru 2017 when he claimed to be a criminal lawyer. I see now he is still living in that nasty office of his taking on chasing ambulances now. I would not refer him for anything. Cindi Allison vs Jane. Remember that one John? You dumped your client on her head days before trial.

Over the past 20 years, we've bought and sold numerous businesses, and each time we've relied on Holmquist and Gardiner to review contracts and ensure we’re fully protected and informed about every detail. Their expertise and guidance have always been spot-on and well worth the investment.
For a recent legal issue related to a business sale, Imants once again helped us navigate a potentially stressful situation with professionalism and clear advice. We're incredibly pleased with the outcome.
We highly recommend this firm without hesitation.

I was referred to Kelley Duggan by my real estate attorney, John Forderhase at Forderhase Law & Escrow, and I can't thank him enough for the recommendation. I was in the process of purchasing a property from a seller who hadn’t completed the probate process after his mother passed away in 2001. Since John didn’t specialize in probates, he referred me to Kelley at Holmquist & Gardiner.
From the very beginning, Kelley was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring. She immediately took action to resolve this complex issue, which involved going back over 20 years to locate the seller's mother's will. It was no easy task, but within a few weeks, she achieved a resolution, and the seller was appointed as the trustee of his mother's estate.
Throughout the entire process, Kelley was up front and transparent, and her hard work truly shone through. She dedicated countless hours to research and was always communicative, keeping me informed every step of the way. I am certain that without Kelley’s efforts, we would still be running in circles.
Thanks to her determination and expertise, the seller, Skip, was able to sell me his house and move on to pursue his dreams of living out the rest of his days in Montana. Kelley, thank you for all your hard work—you made the impossible possible!

Ann has helped me with 2 accidents now. Each time very responsive. She’s always answered any questions I had. I like that she gives it to me straight. I would highly recommend her. It was great working with her. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen but if I ever get into an accident again I will contact her no doubt. Thank you for all your help over the years I appreciate you.

I worked with Caitlin on some post-dissolution issues that had to be resolved quickly. I had my doubts about being able to resolve the matter without going to mediation or arbitration, but Caitlin was able to get it done quickly with a mixture of thoughtfulness and unfailing civility, but also firmness. I really admire her ability to keep her calm and focus even when the other party is being frustrating--her approach is ethical, classy, and above all effective. I'd also like to shout out Anthony, the paralegal she works with. They make an excellent team--his attention to detail, recall of facts, and warmth are second to none. I felt very well taken care of by this responsive team. I would recommend them to anyone going through a divorce or who needs help with matters that arise after the divorce!

Caitlin represented me in a recent divorce that was initially amicable, but soured during the process. She was exceptional in communicating, strategizing, setting expectations, timeliness, empathetic, the list goes on. I found her to be very professional in her approach and communication with the other party's attorney, even when they tried to employ some unsavory tactics.
Her paralegal, Anthony is also top notch and has been in the field for decades. Anthony was there to answer any questions at just about any time you needed him.
The whole team was just fantastic and in the end we settled and most importantly maintained the custody we sought out in the beginning. Couldn't have been happier to have gone with Caitlin and her firm through a difficult process.

She dedicated countless hours to research and was always communicative, keeping me informed every step of the way. I am certain that without Kelley’s efforts, we would still be running in circles.
Thanks to her determination and expertise, the seller, Skip, was able to sell me his house and move on to pursue his dreams of living out the rest of his days in Montana. Kelley, thank you for all your hard work—you made the impossible possible!

Over the past 20 years, we've bought and sold numerous businesses, and each time we've relied on Holmquist and Gardiner to review contracts and ensure we’re fully protected and informed about every detail. Their expertise and guidance have always been spot-on and well worth the investment.
For a recent legal issue related to a business sale, Imants once again helped us navigate a potentially stressful situation with professionalism and clear advice. We're incredibly pleased with the outcome.
We highly recommend this firm without hesitation.

I was referred to Kelley Duggan by my real estate attorney, John Forderhase at Forderhase Law & Escrow, and I can't thank him enough for the recommendation. I was in the process of purchasing a property from a seller who hadn’t completed the probate process after his mother passed away in 2001. Since John didn’t specialize in probates, he referred me to Kelley at Holmquist & Gardiner.
From the very beginning, Kelley was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring. She immediately took action to resolve this complex issue, which involved going back over 20 years to locate the seller's mother's will. It was no easy task, but within a few weeks, she achieved a resolution, and the seller was appointed as the trustee of his mother's estate.
Throughout the entire process, Kelley was up front and transparent, and her hard work truly shone through. She dedicated countless hours to research and was always communicative, keeping me informed every step of the way. I am certain that without Kelley’s efforts, we would still be running in circles.
