Hillery worked for me as outside counsel on multiple business agreements as well as IP agreements at my former company over the course of many years. She is an incredible listener, she always helps guide you to the path of least resistance and gets the deals closed. The product is always top notch and gives everyone at our company great comfort knowing Hillery guided the deal and the delicate issues involved. I would not only hire Hillery again, I am hiring her again tomorrow. I wish all lawyers worked like Hillery. There would less lawyers jokes needed.

I would highly recommend Mr. Odimba For anything dealing with family practice. What I enjoyed was that he stayed on top of everything and if there were any big concerns dealing with the other side he would let me know what's going on and suggest the best route to take. Mr. Odimba was very personable and I felt that he truly had my best interest in mind when it came to negotiating my parenting plan. And being that I live out of state he made it a breeze, because before I hired him I did not have a lawyer and dealing with law issues especially out of state is just a nightmare, he truly took the stress away and made it as easy as possible.

Charles is honest, fair, attentive, informative and knowledgeable. Unlike other attorneys i’ve experienced, I found Charles especially client-focused and understanding. He’s not as aggressive yet smart and would open to all possibilies when helping to solve my case, given it might not be as advantageous to himself. It was definitely an great experience to have him be my attorney. Thanks once again to Charles’s great effort and I would highly recommend him!

Charles was willing to take a difficult case on my behalf which involved international entities. He was very attentive to the details and handled my inquires and concerns with a balance of empathy, education and attention to the details. I'm convinced that if I'd had another lawyer the results would have been less satisfactory and more difficult to get through. I highly recommend Charles without any reservations.

Jillian represented me throughout my entire divorce. She advocated, listened and was extremely patient during a time I literally felt crazy. She kept me centered and focused on the facts. Six years following my divorce I re engaged Jillian for a child support modification. In my opinion and personal experience, she uncovered loop holes in the language that potentially only a true expert with her experience could identify saving me time, money and emotional bandwidth in the future.

Jillian assisted me with a divorce/custody case for nearly a year, and I have nothing but praise for her! She is timely in her responses to questions, genuinely cares about her clients, and is extremely knowledgeable in her fields of practice. As a father, I was very cautious in my hiring decision when legal representation became necessary, due to fighting an uphill battle against mother-bias in the Washington State judicial system. Jillian was able to offer me advice, guidance, and expertise in all aspects of my case, constantly giving me hope and confidence that I would not be left with nothing by the court. She never made promises that she could not keep, and was always straightforward and honest with me when dealing with the various scenarios that played out during my case. Jillian is distinctly professional and we didn't miss a single vital deadline during my case thanks to her! Now about the cost. Honestly, I was put off by it at first. I met with about a dozen attorneys who were both more and less expensive to hire, but you are getting every penny's worth by hiring Jillian. She is truly worth her rate and more, and I couldn't imagine where I would be if I had not invested in her! In summary, I have nothing but respect for Jillian, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if my legal needs fell in her realm of practice. She helped me get far beyond what I would have gotten with another lawyer, let alone if I had fought the case by myself. If you are looking for a lawyer who cares about you and your case, and will fight with you until the end, then you should definitely schedule a consultation with her!

Jillian is wonderful! She represented me for over three years; first for a dissolution of marriage, and then for a petition for modification of custody/parenting plan. Her experience, rationality, and focus have produced excellent results. She is exceptional in the courtroom by being well-prepared and very quick on her feet. I've found Jillian to have great attention to detail and foresight. She often would recall something relevant and useful that I had overlooked. My case was lengthy and complicated. From the beginning she set a clear path and expectations for me. If there were changes during the process she would adjust those expectations and clearly communicate them to me. Jillian and her office have always kept me well informed and quickly responded to my questions and concerns. They’re efficient and trustworthy. The outcome of my case was better than expected due to Jillian's help. Throughout the process I felt in control and that Jillian was there to help me be successful rather than pushing for quick settlement. She also helped keep me sane with her ability to be straight-forward and empathetic at the same time. I know that she has gone above and beyond what I’d asked of her on several occasions. I would absolutely recommend her!

I cannot begin to say enough good things about Carry and her assistant Michael.

Her knowledge of the legal process was top notch. She knew what reasonable resolutions were that a court would reach and that gave me the confidence to reach an equitable solution in mediation. She knew what was worth taking to trial and what wasn't and that helped keep my case out of court. I would re-hire her in an instant.

Mr. Gavin Johnson recently helped me in the formation of a business I run in the world of finance. Gavin and the team at inVigor were extremely involved, constantly staying in contact and walking me through what can be a long an arduous process. Whether it was by email or phone, Gavin was in contact with me almost every single day; making the entire legal process very transparent and keeping me involved. At first I was apprehensive as inVigor is a newer firm in this field but after meeting the partners, Gavin included, I knew that these three were the right ones for the job. I wholeheartedly recommend Gavin and inVigor Law not only because they did amazing legal work but because they are actually people you'll enjoy working with and that's something I haven't been able to say about an attorney or a firm I've worked with in the past.

This was my first time needing a lawyer and I couldn't have found a more perfectly suited match for my case. Jason went above and beyond to make sure I got what I wanted and was able to significantly reduce the sentence down from what they originally gave me. I personally, will never put myself into that situation where I was in before, to even need a lawyer but I strongly recommend others partner with him if that's what you need. His prices are extremely fair and cheaper than what you'd get elsewhere, and he puts in double the effort to get you the most fair sentence possible.

Jason represented my son in a criminal defense case in 2013. Jason was very effective in navigating us through every plausible option for us to consider in my son's defense. He thought of virtually every possibility and made tactical moves to avoid them. The "victim's" family attempted to misrepresent damages resulting in the prosecutor actually filing a felony against my son, and while we all knew it was unfounded and made us extremely concerned, Jason was cool, calm and collected through the process of exposing all this and getting the charged reduced back to a misdemeanor. I have worked with people my entire professional career and have come to be able to read personal characteristics very well. Jason is a smart, caring and savvy individual that we could not recommend strongly enough.

I own a small dry cleaners, family owned, and using perc as a solvent. When our landlord refinanced the bank required them to test for contamination. Even though I had insurance, the process became very stressful. I felt at the mercy of my landlord, the environmental companies they hired and the dept. of ecology. I sought help from a friend in the industry and he highly recommended Bill willard. I could not be more pleased with the work Bill has done for us. As He educated me on my options I found him to be very knowledgeable. When he came to meetings with us he was obviously the most informed person in the room giving us a position of strength and confidence. His guidance was spot on and he took great pains to make sure I knew all my options. He always responded immediately and explained things to me in a way that did not make me feel small or foolish as some of the people involved had. I am so glad to have him as an advocate. I could not have navigated this situation without his help. I Highly recommend Bill Willard as an attorney.

We had a situation where the work a contractor did on our house was so bad that it had to be completely demolished and redone (by a much more trustworthy company). Bill was an excellent person to work with while we tried to recover our damages. He had extensive knowledge of the subject matter of construction law, and was a great tactician, .always planning several steps ahead to anticipate what the other side's lawyers and insurance company might try. His communication with us was always timely and detailed without being overwhelming, always making sure we understood what he was doing on our behalf, the advantages and risks of any decisions, etc.. I felt that he understood our needs and priorities well enough that we could always go with his recommendations when we had decisions to make, and those always turned out to be the correct decisions for us. I can't imagine that we could have gotten any better results with any other attorney, or that anyone else could have mitigated the stress of what we had to go through any more than he did. His fees were certainly reasonable -- to be honest, I accused him at least once of billing us for less hours than he worked, but he always denied that.. Great person to work with.

I have been working with Erin for seven years now. Her commitment to my child’s well-being and her passion for justice make her stand out. She employs a steadfast, earnest approach to high-conflict cases. She is a lighthouse in the storm of family court, remaining ever-vigilant of relevant issues, with prompt, clear communication. She is accessible and well-versed in the law but never talks down to me. And while she is confident, she also actively seeks out case perspectives from other, experienced peers on a regular basis - a humble, resourceful quality which I value. She manages sensitive matters with poise and grace. She uses her time more efficiently than anyone else I’ve ever known. She is a quick study but exceedingly thoughtful in her responses. She also works well with opposing counsel. My child’s father has used five different attorneys over the years and Erin has forged a working relationship with each one. In short, I trust her implicitly and can’t imagine enduring this process without her expert, compassionate presence and due diligence.

After finding myself in a situation where I needed an attorney I was referred to Erin Blower. Erin was a beacon of hope for me at a time when my situation seemed impossible and I would never see a resolution. After my first meeting with Erin I knew she was extremely smart, articulate, had exceptional communication skills, and was also a great listener. I trusted Erin right away and every interaction I had with her after solidified and built that trust. Erin had the ability to communicate to me clearly what was going on in my case, what was coming next, and what I had to do. Her professionalism was incredible. I leaned on Erin for support and watched her as she argued convincingly in the courtroom while displaying great confidence and knowledge in my case like it had happened to her. I felt so powerful having Erin on my side and was very pleased when the ruling was in my favor. More often than not, family law issues and disputes can feel hopeless like you're at war and for me I will never again go into another "battle" without Erin. I highly recommend Erin Blower.

Elisa gave us wonderful advice and counsel at every step of the way. We initially consulted with Elisa to determine our options before choosing the fiancee visa as our best option to permanently reside together in the US while minimizing time apart. We hired Elisa to help us prepare our documents for the K-1 visa and then continue representing us on a path to the Green Card. Elisa is incredibly thorough and we worked very well with her, iterating back and forth. She caught small errors, irregularities between documents, or things that might require explanations to USCIS. She always worked with us to devise a plan. For example when another country puts names in a different order on official documents - we decided to change the US legal name to match the foreign passport. Our one small delay was due to a translator's error that forced us to re-submit some documents for the work/travel authorization and green card. Despite almost no guidance from USCIS, Elisa caught the most likely source of the holdup. We had the errors in the translation fixed and she also encouraged us to add as much supporting documentation as we could provide. Her strategy worked and the rest of the process went smoothly. The entire process took less than 2.5 years from engagement to Green Card. Elisa was quick to address questions even while she was on vacation. She's kind and operates out of a desire to help those she represents; we cannot thank her enough!

With the caveat that I did not end up proceeding with litigation, I found both Mr Anderson and Mr Mitchell to be exceedingly professional and timely in their responsiveness to my inquiries.

David is a truly great lawyer, as well as a tremendous human being. His character is impeccable: my personal experience, as well as his reputation in the community is that he is a straight shooter and a truth teller. There’s nothing fake about David. What you see is what you get; very refreshing. Rare qualities in this day and age. As a lawyer he is brilliant, aggressive when needed, thoughtful, confident, considerate, calm under fire, and most importantly has impeccable judgment. In addition he is a walking law library, and because of the depth of his knowledge and experience, able to think "out of the box" and with tremendous creative skill. As a client this was a huge advantage. When our son was tragically killed by a negligent driver I immediately called David. I didn’t really consider a different lawyer. He was the clear choice. He will always do the "right" thing and fight for justice, regardless of the time and energy needed and the insurance company’s unlimited financial resources. He’s was all in. The value of this to our family simply can't be overstated. David Beninger, both professionally and as a person, is one of a kind. David represented our family in a lawsuit where our son, a young man in his late 20s with a new wife and a baby on the way, was killed by a negligent driver while on his way to work. Initially the insurance company tried to blame our loved one for causing his own death. Many lawyers would have accepted the conclusions of the so called "experts" and insurance company, and turned us away. Not David. He instigated a thorough and comprehensive investigation that showed, through engineering and reconstruction, there was no fault on the part of our son. He was the innocent victim, not the cause. Through David's hard work we learned the company who employed the driver, either knew or should have known the driver had no business being behind the wheel of a truck. Without David's unfailing belief in our case our family, including his new wife and unborn child, would have been out in the cold. David cared for our family with unfaltering compassion, and answered each and every phone call any of us made to his office almost immediately. Our family was in the throws of the worst tragedy of our lives when David took on our case. David took the weight of the day to day dealing with the legal aftermath, leaving us the ability to begin healing, resulting in a well-founded a sense of security. David, and his carefully chosen partners and staff, were all there for not just me, but for our entire family through a lengthy and complex battle to hold those responsible for the tragic unnecessary death of our son responsible. At our request he successfully made sure we were largely insulated from the horrific facts of our case, to the extent that was reasonable under the circumstances. That was a blessing. I think it's also important to comment on David as a person. He told us what happened when we asked, even if it was not what we wanted to hear. David cares about people first. To that end he is extremely generous with his time. He wanted to know about our family. It was important to him to know who our family is and who our son was. He wanted to get to know our family: it wasn’t a chore. Did our son like fishing? What were his favorite hobbies? Did he enjoy playing soccer? Was he a Seahawks fan? How many children did he want? What was his personality? David couldn't change what happened, but as a person, not just as a lawyer, he made it clear that our family came first. What he could do was find justice our son and our family. His result far exceeded our expectations and assured the security of his widow and daughter. As a 2 time client and a lawyer myself when my family had an overwhelming life changing trauma, there was only one lawyer who came to mind to help our family, that was David Beninger. David is in a league of his own. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Tyna Ek as defense counsel. In the past 20 years she has defended many complex litigated cases for my company. I can count on her to analyze the issues thoroughly and provide guidance on the best course of action. She gets great results in trial, if the case gets that far. Most of our cases have been resolved successfully prior to trial because of her excellent skills in the discovery & pre-trial process.

Over my 35 year career, I have probably hired around 100 different lawyers throughout seven western states. Tyna Ek is in my top 5 attorneys. I would unequivocally recommend Ms. Ek as a defense attorney in complex litigated matters. I have hired Ms. Ek on numerous, high-profile cases over the last twelve years with consistently outstanding results. She is cunning, strategic, prompt, articulate, and results-oriented. She either wins at every trial, or she gets the matter settled at or below my expectations, within cost.

I found Alison in 2003 when the state tried to seize my house in a civil forfeiture over trumped up charges. A previous attorney had botched the case and Alison picked up the pieces, turned it around and kicked the prosecutors behind up and down the courthouse steps like a Jedi Ninja. She saved my house and made them pay all my legal fees too.

From my first meeting to my last meeting with Alison she was brilliant, dedicated and honest with me. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and the way she handled my case was simply amazing. There was never a time when she would not meet me or take my phone calls, she always made sure I understood where my case was at and what was to come next. You could tell Alison is very well respected by her colleagues from the way they treated and respected her every time we walked into the courts. Not only is Alison is a truly superb lawyer but an incredible human. To this day she still is a person I can count on respect and highly recommend as an attorney.

We used Inga to help us with some Master Services Agreements (MSA) and she was extremely thorough and clearly explained our liability as well as some of the language in the contract. This helped us understand what we were agreeing to. In addition, she made some very good recommendations for amendments that were accepted by the other party! I would highly recommend her.

  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?

  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
