John Rizzardi and his team of knowledgeable and skilled legal professionals represent my company in a wide variety of matters. I have personally worked with John and his team for over 20 years. His representation has always been thorough and highly effective. I especially value his knowledge, experience, responsiveness and his ability to match the resources with the circumstances regardless of the complexity.

I have had the privilege of knowing John Rizzardi for a couple of years. Having worked closely with he and his firm recently several successful transactions, I can attest to the rumors being true….He and his firm are absolutely top notch. Called upon frequently by successful companies and investors that are looking at M&A opportunities or those that are navigating the nuances of financial hardships, he is simply the best.

John has helped steer our real estate development company through the worst housing and financial crisis in decades. He has provided excellent legal counsel. He has also been a trusted sounding board providing well grounded business advice during a time of chaos and dramatic change for our company.
His experience working with banks and creditors as well as other builders and developers has proved invaluable in the creation of realistic work out plans.
I would highly recommend John to anyone in need of a knowledgable and resourceful attorney.

Not only did Kristina help me with my divorce, she also helped me with a problem with my Landlord on the side. She has great skills and explained everything so that I could understand it. She is good at working with other people to come to a settlement that will work the best for everyone. I would hire her again if I ever find myself in the same situation.

Kristina represented me in my divorce and she made herself available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. She is a good listener and helped me figure out what would work best for me. We ended up mediating, and Kristina helped me threw that process too. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer who will be a good advocate and will help conserve costs.

The first time I used him was for a criminal offense in the 2000's that is now perfectly legal statewide (we all know what I'm talking about). Peter was honest and clear with me about fighting this. He tolld me it was a coin flip. I was willing to flip. Long story short, after I turned down 5 plea bargains, all no time but had to take a felony, the prosecuting attorney decided to ad an enhancement (that's called malicious prosecution and is illegal).
Mr. Connick is a phenomenal, intimidating and well prepared trial attorney. I claim prosecutors fear facing him. I had two members of the front court come up to me to tell me it was one of the most fascinating cases they have ever heard. They hear cases every day. That to me is the ultimate compliment to Mr. Peter Connick.
The second time was a family issue that Peter won for me. All my siblings and their attorneys lost. To this day none of them can believe it. Probably because I paid AT LEAST half on fees that they did.
If your willing to fight, Peter is your man.

Pete is truly the best. He saved me 25 years of my life at 24 years old. He then again represented me in the the small town of Ellensburg Washington on bogus Assault charges. He is an animal in trial. I have recommended him to many people and he has always won their cases. I trust him with my life as he has saved my *** many times. He is fair and affordable and I always asked him why he didn't charge thousands of dollars to clients, he said that if he did...a lot of people wouldn't get the help they need, including me. I feel bad I haven't been in contact with him lately as i still owe him money for a car and for saving my life. Although i am not in a financial position to fix it at this time, i plan to someday soon. Hats off to the best of the best..PETE CONNICK!!! katrina

We are a Florida based company that had major tax issues with the state of Washington. An over enthusiastic revenue agent assessed our company in excess of $1 million in use tax that we did not owe. Our efforts to correct this matter were futile. We contacted attorney Martin Silver and explained our predicament. Martin calmly and professionally applied pressure on the state of Washington appeals supervisor. The matter was remanded to the original revenue agent who created the assessment. We are more than happy to report that due to Martin's efforts the assessment was removed, and we are receiving a refund for overpaid sales taxes. Thank you Marin for resolving our sales tax matter, in a timely and equitable manner!

I have business in both Washington and New Mexico. Martin did a great job in handling a Washington tax bill against my New Mexico account getting a reduction of tax and an elimination of any penalties. He was knowledgeable and knew the WA state tax system. A good guy and I recommend him highly.

Mr. Silver provides rock-solid council! My experience was incredibly favorable and his knowledge and expertise surrounding WA State tax law was thorough. I found his rates to be fair considering the burden I was facing and could not have asked for a better outcome. If I find It necessary to retain Council in the State of Washington again within his purview, he's the first one on my list to call.

Mr. Hurst is the rare combination of a great lawyer and astute businessman. Combined with his fearlessness and truly deep knowledge of the industry he serves, Mr. Hurst will find a solution to your problem.
Few know the maritime industry as well as Mr. Hurst, an expertise he has garnered over a lifetime of exposure. Fewer still know the relevant law as intimately as Mr. Hurst, a deep well of knowledge he has accumulated in his nearly ten years in practice. Virtually no one possess those skills in combination with Mr. Hurst’s innate business acumen. Of all the things that make Mr. Hurst an effective legal advocate, his ability to harness his skills in service of your broader business goals is what sets him apart.
What that means is, if you hire Mr. Hurst, you get more than a lawyer. You get a problem solver who does not lose sight of the bigger picture and narrowly focus on the legal issues. Mr. Hurst understands business and he understands people. He knows when to wield the carrot and when to brandish the stick. He is in the trenches with you and he is a pleasure to work with throughout the typically unpleasant legal process. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Mr. Hurst recently advised me on a very stressful case. His diligence and professionalism, combined with his human compassion is it what truly sets him apart from the rest. So many lawyers treat people like an hourly fee, not like a person who is going through a serious life event. I highly recommend him for your legal needs. He is on my speed dial as my #1 choice for my attorney needs.

Simply Outstanding. Mr. Hurst has an extensive knowlege of the law. He is intelligent, articulate and hardworking.

I will be using his services for years to come and would recommend him without hesitation.

I got the foreclosed house from the bank with the occupants. They were very dishonest and tough people, they were doing so many dirty tricks just to stay in the house and not move out. One of their trick was to file a skeletal bankruptcy case, just to prolong the time for us (which was already more than a half an year), so we had to hire a bankruptcy attorney to help us to solve this problem. I am so glad we found Mr. Reilly from the The Tracy Law Group. He is so knowledgeable, so professional, I even didn't have to explain him much, he got the picture right away himself from the paperwork my eviction lawyer sent to him, and he started his work right away. When he sent to me all paper work he prepared for the motion for the Judge, I was really surprised, how he got everything right, like he was familiar with this case for a long time already. I was surprised how fast he solved the problem, it was amazing. I regret I didn't find him earlier, I am sure I wouldn't have to go through everything I went through. If I would need the bankruptcy attorney again, he would definitely be the first choice of mine, and I REALLY recommend him to everyone who needs a bankruptcy attorney.
Thank you so much Mr. Reilly for everything you have done.

We filed chapter 11 bankruptcy a few years ago and Steven and his firm made the process so transparent and efficient. He is very knowledgeable of bankruptcy law and made our ptions clear to us. We had bad experiences prior to working with Steven. It was refreshing to work with him, he is a good guy, knowledgeable, honest, hard working and he achieved a very favorable end result for us. Could not give him a higher recommendation.

I am happy to recommend him.

Paul is a good attorney he listens and the most important thing is he is very positive. I have not hired him yet but I have spoken with him in 2017 and 2019 and both times he listen to me and gave advice. I am low income and can not afford him but I promise you that if I ever came across money he will be the 1st person I contact. He cares about his clients and even people who are not his clients. I respect this man and I do recommend him I'm sure he would do and be out standing in your case

I hired Paul on a chance and a prayer in a desperate situation and a suggestion from an NPR attorney I contacted that was referenced in an article on cyber-stalking and domestic abuse. I have spoken to many attorneys and was looking for someone who would listen to my story, read my evidence and no matter what, be honest and submit truth to the justice system. My ex-husband and his attorney have submitted perjurous lies and base their litigation on chicanery, abusive use of the court system and backing an innocent person into a corner when they are unrepresented to cover up lies and criminal activity. No matter what has been cast against me or submitted to the courts as backhanded strategy I will not partake in unethical conduct.
Paul has advised me based on experience, honesty and best case scenarios no matter how dim that picture may look or the little light in the corner. He is an ethical family man who makes you feel comfortable, does not judge, has a sympathetic heart and shares a wise story or joke. He’s the kind of guy you’d like to just sit and listen to, talk to or learn from. I highly recommend Paul and commend him on upholding the morals, values and laws he swore to preserve. Accolades to Paul for making me believe there are still good people out there!

Mr. Tracy did a very complex Chapter 7 bankruptcy for both our business and personal finances. He and his assistant were always available for questions. Mr. Tracy is well respected by the Bankruptcy Trustees, knows exactly how to present to them in court, and made what could have been a very painful process much easier than expected. I would highly recommend using his services. He is very knowledgable, a pleasant guy to work with and best of all does an excellent job.

Marisa is very knowledgeable and well informed woman. She took over a very traditional firm and has respected the values and integrity of the former founders. She runs the firm with both the old-school values and the new millennium sophistication. She helped me with a very complicated estate plan. She listened, gave sound advice and treated me in a very caring and real manor. In the end we came up with a strong plan that will ensure protection and financial security for my child. The peace of mind and professional outcome was incredible. I have referred many people to her since in hopes that they follow through and contact her.

Integrity and professionalism in every realm of the legal world. Describes George.

Mr. Ahrend represented our family in two frivolous lawsuits filed against our family business. From the moment we retained his services, he went above and beyond to ensure we were fully informed of all of our options and educated us on the legal process along the way. Mr. Ahrend worked hard on our case and was very honest with us during the process - he went in to great detail regarding each option and how it could potentially affect our business and/or personal lives, making it a point to address the "hard questions" we had to ask ourselves about how to proceed with the process. He does not "beat around the bush" and his direct, yet soft approach was very much appreciated. We could always count on him to do the right thing and we trusted and believed in his abilities to the fullest extent.
Mr. Ahrend displays an incredible amount of integrity and he is caring, compassionate, understanding, fair, and extremely knowledgeable. I (including my family) have the utmost respect for Mr. Ahrend and we would recommend his services to anyone seeking representation.

Noah has helped me through an extremely difficult phase. He is not only a good attorney but an even better human being who genuinely cares. I consider myself a very difficult client. It was a complicated case. Noah seamlessly navigated through it. This was particularly helpful as it allowed me to focus on my wife's cancer treatment. He is firm in his opinion, which is a must-have quality in an attorney. I wholeheartedly recommend Noah.

I discovered Noah from an article written on the firm's website. I called his office around 10am and left a message with an assistant, I received a call back at noon the same day. We spoke for 15 minutes.
For the duration of the call, Noah was patient, soft-spoken and addressed each of my legal concerns. He provided helpful advice and a practical perspective which left me feeling confident and completely at ease.
During the call it was evident that my best interests were top of mind. Notably, he generously answered all of my questions over the phone and explained would I could expect from an in-depth review and what it might cost should I need it.

Sara was great. My case was not too complicated, but she still made the whole process much easier and less stressful than anticipated. She explained everything, addressed my concerns, and answered all my questions. She processed all the paperwork in a timely manner. It was definitely easier to get a hold of her by email than by phone which I didn't mind. She was always quick to respond, and I never really had anything that needed immediate attention. Overall, feeling relieved.

I had telephone consultation with Leslie. She listened to my situation carefully. Asked the right questions and gave me advice about how to proceed next. In the advice, I could clearly see that she had put mine (client's) best interest first. I would definitely hire her for her work ethics and knowledge.

I was referred to Leslie by another DVPO attorney. I have to say never does any attorney work overtime non sleep til morning to meet deadline not because she waited til last min but because she is constantly a step ahead of what is anticipated response from other party. I slept at midnight she worked Graveyard til Noon deadline.
My hearing is not here yet for a few days but the preparation this woman does is OUTSTANDING. I didn’t want to write a review now in fear she will be too busy for my case but I thought its only fair to give credit where credit is due.
Although I made my retainer minimal I know Leslie has well over exceeded her hours I paid her. But never once she ask for more money. I was hoping she would so I can pay her for her time. :-) happy to!
My case got from complex to completely extremely complex. From dvpo to family law to overly complex.
My great appreciation to Leslie for working non stop to get it done no matter what it’s takes. that’s a HUGE quality hard to find in an attorney.
Whatever the outcome maybe in court I know we have put our BEST FOOT forward.
Her details to attention maybe too much BUT it’s necessary because it’s ALL ABOUT FACT FACT FACT to the judge. Not talk.
Thank you Leslie. My child and me greatly appreciates all your hard work. Thank you

Joleen was a referral from a friend, and came highly recommended. From my initial phone conversation to the point at which the disagreement I hired her to settle was settled, she was professional, while sensitive to the fact that I was emotionally raw to find myself in the situation I faced. Joleen's combination of professionalism and personableness was a good fit for me. She remained responsive and ultimately kept me apprised of the interactions on my behalf. In the end, though I can't personally claim to understand the nuances of managing the law, Joleen provided me with peace-of-mind during the process, and resolution to a difficult situation.
I have hired Joleen more than once since that initial dispute, and she has always met my inquiries with expeditious response, and offered perspectives and advice that allowed me to better position myself with clients. Her advice and counsel allows me to confidently move forward (or step away from) things that would otherwise leave me perplexed and possibly unprotected without her guidance.
I am grateful for Joleen and her ardent commitment to her clients. I recommend her without hesitation.

We're a technology consulting firm that needs everything from MSA's to SOW's to NDA's and corporate agreements. Joleen and her team not only provide great service, but educate us in the process!

Joleen is witty and extremely savvy in looking at a clients needs and determining the best possible way to making their goals a reality.

Meredith is the Best for Criminal needs I had. She was fast and has excellent communication. She literally took my case on few days notice and resolved it to my full satisfaction. if there is anyone who needs a criminal lawyer who will get the job done, I highly recommend this law firm and Meredith. Every time I had a question which is related legally, I can just call or email her and get a response same day and clear response. She has helped me soo much, I just had to share because she truly is the best, and she really does take care of her clients and goes beyond the regular standards of getting her clients like me the Best Option (outcome) in my case. This is my 2nd case she is been working for me, and she is doing an excellent job and all looks well, once again I highly recommend them.

After 2 1/2 years of my exhusband dragging his feet, his lawyer pushing unethical, and my former lawyer seemingly unable to do her job, I hired Christina. I was so grateful for her help. She was patient, sympathetic, and tenacious - exactly what I needed to FINALLY wrap up the fiasco that my divorce proceedings had become. I genuinely appreciate how (well) she handled my legal issues, while keeping me fully informed.
If I find myself in need of legal advice again, I will not hesitate to conctact Christina. I highly recommend her!

Christina is an extraordinary family law attorney who handled my highly contentious and very complex divorce. At all times, she remained focused on the well being of my child and was highly committed to a residential plan that reflected her experience and deep understanding of what was most important for the psychological/emotional health of my child. Specifically, she guided through the process of reviewing and documenting issues and concerns that were highly relevant to the final residential plan. In addition, she was able to throughly and comprehensively review large sets of financial documents including forensic accounting and executed appropriate timely legal actions /briefs that ultimately led to a well considered property/financial settlement. She exercised sound and forward thinking with the understanding of legal precedents. I can not emphasize enough, the professionalism, the dedication and caring that she exhibited at all times through a period of over two years. I would recommend her unconditionally and with great trust.

I hired Ms. Dunn to help me navigate my complicated journey with my unborn daughter and her father. She stayed with me to the birth, and with her guidance and expertise helped me form a financial and parenting plan with the father. She was my rock as we stood before the judge, on more than one occasion. Ms. Dunn is still with me now, even 4 years later, as I continue to depend on her knowledge of the law regarding my parental rights. I could not have gone through this horrible time without her. She cares not only about the stuation at hand, but also the continuous journey. Dedicated, honest, and an expert in her field.

In my opinion, her work really exemplifies a passion for what she does and not just for the "job". I would highly recommend her to anyone. She will stand behind you, explain things in a way that you can understand, and she'll work really hard for you. Bottom line is Pam is amazing!

I needed an attorney who would understand the issues involved in ending a long term abusive marriage, not just the Domestic Violence aspect but also those of divorce where there were few assets. Pam did a very good job representing me given the challenges of dealing with my abuser's tactics throughout the process along with the emotional issues I, as a survivor of abuse, brought into the process. The divorce process ended up going to trial where Pam argued my case successfully. She did an excellent job negotiating amendments to a satisfactory resolution.
I would recommend Pam. She cares and brings a unique understanding to the difficult process of divorce issues. She understands what matters and what does not and was a good steward for this client.

I very highly recommend Tim Fitzgerald and while I hope I don't need an attorney again any time soon he will be the first person I call if another issue arises. He very clearly understood the situation and my particular needs, always responded quickly, and in many cases it seemed like he was reading my mind. His ability to always think one step ahead of the opponent made our conversations successful and to the point. To top it off he has a great personality, which isn't required in his line of work, but it certainly eased some of the stress of the situation. He even took the time to speak with me on the phone after business hours when I was very upset about the ordeal I was going through. Definitely not required, but it meant the world to really feel like someone was on my side during a very stressful situation. I cannot say enough great things about this guy. When my company, the company Tim helped me fight so hard to get back, hits it's first million dollar mark, Tim and his family will definitely be getting an invitation to our celebratory BBQ! Seriously, hire this guy.

: I have been in the business of commercial real estate development my entire professional life, and have worked with many lawyers during that time. For the past decade, however, I have routinely turned to Tim Fitzgerald for representation and advice. During that time, Tim has successfully represented my interest in numerous business and litigation matters across the country, many involving complex and high-stakes legal issues. Although Tim possesses the all of the qualities one would expect from an attorney operating at the top of the profession – intelligence, confidence, tenacity, clarity, efficiency – what has set Tim apart over the years is his passion for the practice of law. I do not hesitate for moment in recommending Tim’s legal services, particularly with respect to complex commercial litigation matters
