My sister recommended Jason Couey to help us navigate the bankruptcy, and a great job he has done. Was always available, mostly through email, but calls were always available and he is very professional and personable. Will chat at both the personal as well as legalese with you to help you understand what is needed. The best part of the experience has been how he kept things orderly and easy to understand. I highly recommend him.

My wife and I had been talking about getting our will done for years. This year was the year we got it done, and Tyler with McNeice Wheeler was fantastic. We scheduled a phone call with him due to COVID and was patient as we worked out the three way calling between my office, his office, and my wife at home. He gave a high level overview of the process and conversation we were going to have, then filled in some of the details, and then walked us through each step asking us questions about what we wanted and what our goals were. We had a less than typical case and he recognized that a traditional will was not the best option and helped us set up a trust. He asked lots of questions and allowed us to as well. It was a very collaborative process. He had the documents drafted and sent to us quickly. Due to an error on our end, we didn’t realize we had them for a few days, but when we realized it, we reviewed the drafts and were happily surprised at the small details included that we had never thought of. He was patient with our (mostly mine) several emails asking questions and requesting clarification and answering hypotheticals. Once we were satisfied, we scheduled a convenient time for us to go in and sign. They had everything ready and laid out in the conference room with the necessary witnesses and notary (all socially distanced of course!) and made it super easy to pop in, sign, and continue with the rest of our errands that day. If you need your estate planning done, or any legal support, McNeice Wheeler deserves your attention.

Ezra did an excellent job at representing me. He was very professional, knowledgeable & patient. He did extensive research on my case and made sure he was educated on every angle, he also consulted other professionals who where familiar with cases like mine. He never seemed bothered by the plethora of questions I asked or the fact that I had him explain things several times. He made sure I understood the whole process. I'm so glad I chose Ezra as my attorney, he won our case. Thank you!!!!

I hired Ezra Glanzer to put an end to a personal property dispute I had been trying to address on my own for 5 years. He kept me updated on his progress, gave me choices how this situation could be addressed, and I am very happy to say that within 11 weeks, he successfully resolved the issue and my property was returned to me without a court battle. I am so pleased! His fees are reasonable, and he demonstrated integrity and honesty in his transactions with me. I highly recommend Ezra, and if I ever need assistance in the future, I will not hesitate to give him a call. Thanks Ezra! Leah Johnson, RN, CPC, CPC-P, CPMA

Ezra helped us with a malpractice-type suit. In hearings as well as in our conversations, he never once said or suggested anything other than providing a completely honest report. Often in these cases things resolve to he said, she said, but Ezra was able to provide definitive evidence bolstering our case leading to the win. His MO is every situation was to uphold the truth regardless of whether or not it may have detracted from our case, which resulted in establishing our credibility and accuracy regarding the issue at hand. He also repeatedly gave us emotional support to continue forward with the trial even when we pushed to just be done with it all. Though there was obvious incentive for him, I knew that wasn't what was driving him to keep the case up. He saw an injustice and felt compelled to help us do something about it, though never in a pushy or off-putting way. So in summary, he's an honest, genuine and just lawyer.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Kathy Pauktert. She represented me in a State Farm car accident case, that went on for 6 years and was quite stressful. Every step of the way, I really felt that she was representing me fully, with no evidence of influence because it was a State Farm case, and she gave me excellent guidance but ensured that I made my own choices regarding next steps. She communicates very promptly, is kind, and gives an extremely persnalised experience. Her expertise was evident and I would recommend her (and do!) to folks going through similar cases. Knowing how competant she is, I would use this group for any case that they have expertise in.

We hired Elder law for Probate and at first they worked very good then our attorney left and we got a new one. He redid all the work the first one did and charged us more money to do it. The first lawyer said we had enough money to go to court and take care of the matter. Now that we got a new lawyerhe wants more money and hasn’t even set a court date. Look at their Yelp reviews and don’t hire.

We consulted with Lynn St. Louis and staff a few years ago to draw up estate plans for us. She and her entire crew, most especially Elizabeth Wallace, were excellent! We just made another appointment with them to discuss some further questions, and we wouldn't go anywhere else. We had gone to a couple of law offices previously, but were disappointed. Lynn and staff knew exactly how to deal with questions about protecting assets, Medicaid, wills, etc.

We went to Lynn St. Louis to get my parent's will set up and Lynn and her associates were amazing and so helpful! They made sure that we understood everything, and didn't overwhelm us with legal jargon. They worked with us to make sure that everything was in place for when we needed it. When my mother passed away, we called them to find out what the next step was. Before they even started they expressed their condolences and sent us a card! When we sat down with them to get my mother's estate squared away, they walked us through the process step by step. If we forgot what was going on, they were always happy to go over it again! They made sure to keep us posted when we needed to sign something, or what information we needed to bring them. Their rates are very reasonable and they are worth every penny! I am so glad that we found Lynn St. Louis! I cannot say enough good things! If you want experience, and also want to be treated as a person, and not a billing number, this is the place to go!

Diane is far more than a great lawyer. I worked with Diane to finalize my divorce and was very pleased with the results. She is very good at explaining things to her clients and making sure they are aware of the all the options they have. She never left me wondering about anything and always answered my questions quickly even at nights and weekends. Diane also pays close attention to everything and leaves no room for errors. Her support and experience helped me finalize my divorce sooner than I expected and I actually got everything I asked for. During the period I worked with Diane she was very helpful and extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend Diane and her legal team to anyone. With her you can feel secure in knowing that your best interest is her top priority.

I can not recommend a law firm more highly. Michael Grover and April Anderson helped me through what could have been a tricky divorce and property settlement with a grace, professionalism and strategic focus that I can not imagine many firms possess. The ability to consult between both family law, and real estate/property attorneys at the same firm was invaluable. The focus also was not just to take opposing parties to court but to try to mediate a solution. This is truly a law firm with a soul.

I injured both of my arms right and left. Falling downstairs doing in home care. On the day of my mediation halfway through, my attorney admitted, he got me confused with another lady in Harrison Idaho, my last name is Harrison. As I wanted to hold out , while the mediator joked and made light of work injuries, I am right handed.My right arm doesn't work correctly, I did a lot of work in my church. I am a homemaker. I take a lot of pride in my home being a place of comfort and inviting to people, I used to bake and feed people, and so the job that I had for wages, wasn't my main job, even though I didn't bring home a salary for it. My" job" was taking care of my home and my church and my husband and serving god with my two hands. The thing I did to make money injured me, because the lady I was working for didn't let me know that her staircase ,in the spring would move when the basement flooded. It moved.I fell, I hurt my right elbow and my left wrist, and now all the things I used to do to serve God and others I cannot do any longer. None of this meant anything to my attorney at the mediation. As I kept holding out because I didn't know how I would end up the rest of my life with these 2 injuries he kept telling me dead. There was gonna be so security disability. There was gonna be a medical fund. And so this was just the first part of the mediation for my injury. I even thought I would just go to court because I thought my case was so different than so many other people At that point, my attorney didn't want to go to court. It was obvious He was not wanting to go to court to represent me, who I am. He told me scary things about, if the judge was in a bad mood, I would lose everything. He, and I am ashamed to say, my husband, with pressure from the "mediator " talked me onto taking an offer, which I knew, would not compensate me for paying people to do for me, what I had always done for myself. Gardening, lawn care, house work, cleaning the church, changing my own oil, recently I paid Ford $600.00 for changing plugs and oil in my truck. This I used to do at a fraction of the cost. But none of this was considered, I was a part time worker to them all. After that nightmare, the medical portion was to be settled, that's when I found out, I didn't have enough "points" for SSI disability, so any leverage from SSI to keep SIF accountable did not exist. My Attorney told me the day of mediation , SSI would cause pressure for SIF to cover me medically...NOT. He was incorrect and when I , out of concer, asked him if he was doing okay, he had made a few errors in my doctors name and other odd statements which didn't pertain to me, he accused me of questioning his integrity and told me I could get a different Attorney. By then I was hurting, depressed and totally vulnerable and my attorney, the one person who supposedly knows the ins and outs of the system, chewed me out and threatened me that I could "go it alone" if I thought I could do better. I couldn't make any decisions, I was so down. I didn't think the Attorney was going to take part of the medical bank. I thought he got paid for working the entire case from my mediation, so I didn't think I could pay up front for another attorney, just another thing I misunderstood when my attorney told me the medical is put in the bank, in my name and I had comple control over it. I was told it is a new way SIF and all other workers comp. In Idaho are now doing things, rather than keep a claim open for treatment. I am not pleased at all. My best intrest was not even considered. All because in the beginning my Attorney didn't ever find out and set in his mind, who I am.

Sara was everything that I needed in an Attorney. I contacted her because the Insurance Company was pushing me to close a claim. I was having problems with my left side of my body, due to an automobile accident and the Dr.s could not locate the problem. During a consult with Sara, she suggested I go to the Spine Clinic, and she set up an appointment for me. At the appointment they found what was causing the problem and within 45 days I was having surgery and it resolved my problem. Sarah closed up with the Insurance Company's and all the costs related to the accident and surgery were taken care of. Sara did all the work and we were blessed by having her as our advocate. Thank you very much Sara!

Matthew Fischer is knowledgeable, detail-oriented and personable. Matthew and Shayla are a great team to work with. Matthew and Shayla worked closely with me to navigate a unique and complex family law issue. My case required me to have 2 attorneys at the same time. Matthew and Shayla worked closely with the other attorney and they were collaborative and timely. They worked an extremely time-sensitive case with ease and confidence. The attributes they displayed help me to stay calm and focused. The office staff is friendly and welcoming. They will continue to be my team in any future legal matters. I highly recommend Matthew Fischer.

Mr. Crotty accepted my two employment cases after a number of other attorneys’ rejections. He immediately worked on my cases diligently. In 2016, Mr. Crotty won the jury’s unanimous favor in my first case after a trial in the federal court. In 2017, Mr. Crotty won the Washington State Supreme Court’s unanimous support for the jury’s decision. The victory was historical: nine of the nine Justices! In 2018, Mr. Crotty brought good results to conclude my two cases. Mr. Crotty has impressed me not only by his outstanding professional skills to win victories, but also by his extraordinary patience and understanding for me, his client. Mr. Crotty is a true hero who defended the U.S. as an army ranger and intelligence officer in the past and defends American justice in court now. I give him the highest respect and recommendation.

Finally, this process has been completed. What a long and drawn out process especially when my tenants did everything possible to avoid being served. Attorney Mayo made the eviction process easy for me. I knew what he was up against and he put my mind at ease. What was very convenient was that I never stepped a foot into his office. All correspondence was done by e-mail or phone. I know I could NOT have done this on my own. If ever, I find myself in this situation again, I will go to him first, before trying to serve the tenants first. Thank you for all your help!

I first came across Christine Gallagher when I started researching for the absolute best divorce attorney in town. Two different firms recommended her as the best. I'd have to say that they were right. Christine is articulate, intelligent, conducts herself with integrity, but most of all, she is a warrior at heart. She won a case for me that was far from being cut and dried. I feel like she really went over and above for us, and will always be appreciative of the supreme effort she put into this. Worth every penny of the money spent! On a side note, I retained Christine ten years ago as well to represent me through a divorce that ended up being reconciled. (Should have followed through, all I did was prolong the inevitable as it turned out). Anyway, at the time of reconciliation, she returned a large sum of the retainer money to me. That was unexpected at the time, I thought we had likely burned through all of it by that point, and I never would have questioned it if she hadn't contacted me to return the remainder. That type of integrity is rare these days! If you find yourself in this terrible situation of needing a family law attorney, I do not believe that anyone better is out there, for any sum on money. She is awesome.

I found Christine Gallagher so wonderful to work with. I had full confidence in her knowledge and professionalism. She is very attentive to detail while always keeping the big picture and end goals in mind, all the while looking out for my best interests. She genuinely cares about her clients and was readily available to me when I had questions or concerns, even on a weekend. Christine gave me full confidence that the end resolution would be satisfactory (or better, in my case) and I never felt alone going through this difficult process of divorce. She is also a huge proponent of children and is always keeping their best interests in mind. A friend recommended Christine to me, and I will be recommending her without reservation to anyone who needs her services. Thank you Christine!

I cannot say enough positive things about Christine Gallagher and Elenor White! They are both incredibly knowledgeable, caring, dedicated and passionate attorneys, who work tirelessly for their clients. My case was extremely messy and challenging, but they dove in headfirst and never hesitated to do whatever was needed to support my case. I chose to hire Christine after a negative experience with a prior attorney, and couldn’t be happier with my choice. I chose Christine because I needed someone who would be willing to fight for me and for my children, and that is exactly what she did. Little did I know at the time that I hired her, that I would have the extremely fortune of working with a team of TWO amazing attorneys who passionately advocated for me both in and outside of the courtroom. They were excellent at communicating and kept me apprised of what was happening throughout the process. They answered all of my questions and took the time to really understand my situation and to decide how they could best support me in my case. They were honest and upfront about the realities of my situation, but were incredibly empathetic and kind as well. If you are looking for truly exceptional legal representation, Christine and Ellie are just that! I am extremely grateful to have them in my corner and cannot recommend them enough!

Ben represented me (a man) in my divorce (with multiple kids.) My wife had filed and included many horrible allegations which led me to have almost no time with the kids on our temporary parenting plan. Ben picked up the case (which my first attorney had done a poor job on.) He knew exactly what to do to get the end result I wanted. I had to suck it up and it wasn't an instant fix but in the end he rocked my wife's world in court and the record was set straight by his courtroom skills. It seemed at times throughout the case that he was not attentive to my little daily concerns, but I think he simply puts focus where it really counts and if I had trusted him more I would have saved some worry and stress. I read that you will never regret hiring an attorney that you can't afford when it comes to fighting for your kids. After trying to go the cheap route I bit the bullet and I'm so glad I did. Worth every thousand spent and then some. Ben was brutally honest with me and didn't sell me anything he wasn't able to deliver. He was spot on with every estimation he had regarding the case while letting me know that anything can happen. I very highly recommend him if you have the ability to trust him and not expect him to get caught up in every little daily drama you throw his way. Again, he put attention and detail where it really counted and the results were what mattered in the end.

Ben is an amazing attorney. He helped my wife and I in a custody battle with my ex. His professionalism and ethics are the highest I have ever seen. Despite the other side trying to play dirty, he maintained his ethical and professional demeanor and prevailed every time. My being out of state during all of the battles was scary, but Ben made sure everything was done for my best interest and the best interest of the kids. I wouldn't recommend any other attorney in Spokane.

I appreciate the passion, patience, and prompt attention my particular case received. My attorney, Thomas Jarrard was outstanding; he really showed full dedication towards getting me a quick and positive outcome on my case. He provided me with a sense of confidence after the Global law firm I previously worked at assigned a Partner in an attempt to deny me of my rights under USERRA. Thomas Jerrard is extremely knowledgeable, and reached a resolution, after a single phone call to said Partner at old firm, which ended in my favor and without needing to endure a trial. I would recommend anyone to this law firm and trust Mr. Jerrard and his team can handle any case or situation with total satisfaction.

If you are in the military/veteran having employment issues related to your service aka USERRA law violations then look no further—Thomas is the lawyer for you. Thomas is in a league of his own. He is talented, hardworking and an exceptional lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, candid, and efficient in his work. Thomas is an expert in USERRA laws, and get results quickly. Thomas immediately provided me with relief that I would receive a just outcome in my case; and outlined all the issues/case laws and claims they would proceed on. I already knew after my first ZOOM call interaction with him that I had secured a winning team. Thomas wins his cases, because he knows what he’s doing, and how to get it done. Thomas was responsive and throughout while handling my case. I am grateful for the times I would call him, and he could sense the urgency and anxiousness in my tone; and would immediately start sending out emails to get answers to my questions. Thomas gave me the confidence I needed that my case would be in good hands as I left for active duty orders — and he exceeded those expectations. Thanks to Thomas I was able to get a resolution beyond my wildest imagination before even returning home! I am forever grateful and indebted to Thomas for his help. This isn’t Allstate, but you’re definitely in good hands with Thomas. Thank you Thomas not only for your service to this country, but your continued service in representing military service members.

I had an employment case that I hired Michael Love to represent me in. I searched to find who was the best employment attorney in Eastern Washington. I didn't use the Internet to locate representation, I asked multiple Law firm Office Managers who they would recommend. Michael Love's name kept coming to the surface as being the highest recommended representation that I would be able to find. During my case this proved to be true as his experience, instinct and abilities were tested and not found wanting. Hiring Michael Love was the best decision that I could have made.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  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?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  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.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

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.
