I was facing some real serious charges & she took what I had n did the rest pro bono Thank God because my stuff went on for over a year. I went from having no hope to actually having a release date 15yrs BEFORE what I thought I was getting. I was young & dumb but she made sure I could still be someone as long as I was willing to do the work. I'm so GRATEFUL for this woman (.)

I Had the Pleasure of using Mrs. Jardine as a mediator to create a parenting plan. She was very helpful, creative,and realistic in what will and will not work. she was by far one of the more knowledgeable attorneys i had come across in my travels . also a genuinely good person . I could only assume she is equally effective and most all areas of the law that she handles . Do your self a favor and at least meet with her .... I highly doubt you will regret it ..

Extremely grateful to have hired her. She is aggressive and sharp. She has represented me in several traffic cases over the years with great success and she represented my daughter as a minor in a criminal case and was able to bring it to a deferment. She is one of the good ones!

I hired Russell in the Fall of 2013 to represent me in a multi million dollar securities fraud lawsuit. The lawsuit came to an end in the Fall of 2015 after a three week trial by jury in which we prevailed on all counts.
I cannot say enough good things about Russell Knight! He is very through and organized. He took well over 5000 pages of documents and testimony, wove it into a story that the jury could understand and lead them day by day to the final outcome. Russell is as steady as they come. Do not let his boyish face and soft demeanor fool you. I guarantee that he will not let anyone take advantage of him or the situation.
Most importantly, the jury really liked Russell. After the verdict, both sides sat down with a couple of the jurors to get their feedback. They stated that Russell had presented a full, concise, believable story, which they appreciated.
If you have a large case, which this was, and need an attorney that will spend whatever time is necessary and keep you informed every step of the way, you cannot do better than Russell Knight.
Obviously, I highly recommend Russell and the entire Smith Alling firm!

We had a great experience working with Russell. After a bad experience dealing with a company left us out a great deal of money and unsure what to do, Russell guided us the right direction, kept us informed throughout the process and ultimately lead us to a successful outcome in a timely manner.

I talked with David about an hour ago.
He is an honest, professional and dedicated lawyer. He took a good history of my problem, talked with me and gave me his final opinion with no hesitation, while I had paid a lot to another lawyer without any solution for my problem.

David Corbett represented us in an appeal in the Washington State Court of Appeals, where he worked on our behalf to reverse a large default judgment. Even though the ultimate result was a split decision, we were both impressed by David and the high quality of his work. Because we are residents of Toronto, Canada, we never met David in person, but he was always available by phone or email on short notice, and consistently responsive to our concerns. He was also very good at explaining what was going on in the case as it progressed. We strongly recommend him to anyone who needs counsel for a civil appeal in Washington.

I am writing this review from the perspective of a client who has a case which has yet to be resolved. Therefore, my review of Mr. Corbett's work on my behalf is not influenced by a favorable or unfavorable outcome.
Integrity and brilliance best describe David Corbett.
He has the unique ability to know what the response will be from his opponent, prior to formulating an argument. This allows Mr. Corbett the ability to know if his argument will be strong or weak.
Mr. Corbett researches the applicable laws and previous rulings on similar cases so thoroughly that he is able to clearly articulate how the law applies to the case at hand. Not all judges and lawyers will research the applicable laws thoroughly. For this reason, Mr. Corbett is able to articulate effectively on behalf of his clients.
He has constantly kept me informed about his research, and his work on my behalf.
I have seen how his work developed because he shared his thoughts with me as he worked on my case.
He has restored my faith in the law, and in justice, regardless of the outcome of my particular case. If there is justice in the modern court system, he will find it.
On the subject of integrity, I have actually seen him with a stop watch in his hand so that he is only billing a client for time that is used on their behalf. I have never known any attorney to be so conscientious. I consider the work Mr. Corbett has done on my behalf to be one of the best investments I have ever made.
I trust him completely, and I highly recommend him.

Ms. Herrmann is exactly what others clients have said about her. She covers all of the possible problems that might come up in the settlement process, and explains the thinking of insurance companies. I have a good idea now, of what to expect, and what kind of expectations to have. It takes a unique mind to be able to have such a comprehensive understanding of her profession, and she has it. I am confident that I will be well represented.

I was concerned about other injured parties in a multi-vehicle accident in which I too was injured. Kathryn handled everything with the greatest of integrity. My basis for comparison is that I have worked for several attorneys over the years including a prosecutor in a major US city. Kathryn really gets the power of integrity.

Ms. Herrmann went above the call of duty to make sure she listen to my exact concerns, spoke to me at layman's level versus a lawyers and gave me many options along with the option she would have chose which turned out to be the best option for me.
Ms. Herrmann made herself available to me 24/7 and I highly recommend her.
Thank you for all your great advice Ms. Herrmann!!

Filing bankruptcy can be a stressful and humiliating time. My husband and I never dreamed we would ever even have to contemplate such a thing, but there we were, facing the harsh reality of a chapter 7. You see, my husband and I have always worked multiple jobs, prided ourselves on being hard workers! I'm an RN and he's an Aircraft Mechanic. But due to circumstances out of our control we found ourselves at David Smiths Law Office, to discuss bankruptcy. Talk about feeling at an all time low. David Smith was amazing! He and his staff walked us through our options. They were kind, non judgmental, knowledgeable, professional, and when he held my hand and told me it was all going to be ok, well I went home, and I just cried. I'm telling you my husband and I will never go to anyone else, because Mr Smiths integrity is such that if he can't help us, we know he will lead us in the right direction, of someone that will! I have already recommended Mr Smith to several of my colleagues because he knows his stuff, he won't feed you pipe dreams, and is the real deal! Finding people today with his integrity, well it's just hard to find. we just want to say thank you David Smith to you and all your amazing supportive staff! Giving you all five stars is not eanough, we give you all ten! You saved us and we just can't thank you all eanough!

I was engaged in a civil matter that required timely response and knowledge of an intricate business structure. Mr. Dennis was VERY prompt in receiving, reading, and comprehending the massive amounts of documentation that I had sent over. In addition to his responsiveness, he was very intelligent and respectful for what the situation called for to resolve the matter. I would recommend Mr. Dennis if you are looking for a trust worthy attorney who truly has the best interests of his client in mind.

I had spoke with a few other attorney's before coming to Dallas

I would certainly recommend him

It has been just one year after our bankruptcy and our credit
scores are back over 700...barely.........which is amazing!!
Dallas said this is how it would happen! We always paid our bills on
time but the writing was on the wall with this economy. He filed `-got rid of our debt..kept our cars and house and reasonable lifestyle.
Too many people wait to file after they fail......if you see the writing on
the wall do it now and file with Dallas. AT that point he can protect your assets. He covers all bases very well. He really knows bankruptcy law!!
You will need to be on top of your paperwork and assignments. He does not hold your hand.

Mr. Carlo immediately left me feeling comfortable and secure in my decision during the consult. During the hearings, he was clean and precise with the truth of my cases where it was necessary to demonstrate my recovery, desire to meet the court's terms and accomplished dismissing cases with reasonable sanctions. I respect him for his style, composure and assertiveness throughout the process. Bottom line, he is a very good attorney and he is well liked and respected by the court system. Definitely would both retain him again if needed and absolutely refer him for friends and family. IMPRESSED!

James helped us through bankruptcy. Obviously that was not a great time for us, just about everything that could go wrong did with the development and construction of our home.
He helped us through our financial nightmare. The wife of
a co-worker, a local Olympia attorney, had highly recommended him and to this day I'm so glad I checked with her. He gracefully guided us through what could have been a very uncomfortable and daunting process. From the very beginning we knew we were in good
hands. He listened attentively and clearly explained every step of
the process, but most importantly, each time we communicated I knew
He would follow through. I could go on and on, ...I was truly amazed. Hecexemplifies the best of your profession ...and I don't pass out
compliments lightly.

TLDR: HIRE SHANE.
Shane Cridlebaugh is A-MAZING! First off, I called around to many different lawyers and Shane stood out because he instantly told me that I was paying my spouse BAH (military housing allowance/spousal support) when I didn’t have to since we had a prenuptial agreement. No other lawyers had pointed this out. Even the military lawyers had not noticed this. He was the first one to notice during the free consultation. He was right! I took my agreement to my chain of command and military lawyers and they confirmed that I didn’t have to pay based on the prenuptial agreement. Every other lawyer I called around to told me I would have to continue paying my spouse BAH until the divorce was final. Shane was also the only lawyer that was ready to start making moves. During our phone consultation he was already telling me the next steps that he would take. He’s an aggressive lawyer which is what you want. I sincerely felt like he was fighting for me. Shane moves quick. The other side would take days or weeks to respond whereas Shane would always respond promptly. You will want that because you want the divorce to finish quickly! I didn’t have to communicate with the other side at all which was one of my requests. Shane is very honest about money. When the other party agreed to a settlement, Shane was upfront and informed me that he had not used all of the initial retainer fee and would pay the other party from the remaining retainer fee I had already paid. Shane could have easily charged me extra and claimed he had already worked the equivalent of the entire retainer fee. Shane was always available by email even on holidays and weekends. In fact, my final papers were prepared and signed on New Year’s Eve because he was working! It’s a long review because Shane deserves it. He seriously made my divorce so easy. You won’t be disappointed when you hire him.

I hired Shane to handle my divorce. Unfortunately, I discovered Florida was taking jurisdiction of the divorce about a month after I hired him, so I was no longer able to use a WA attorney. Despite this, Shane was willing to help me look over the new documents I was served to better explain the verbiage in layman’s terms for my understanding, even though he made it very clear he couldn’t advise me on anything or provide services. When I was working with him in the beginning, he always took my calls, made time to see me and got things to me in a timely manner. He also refunded me the majority of my retainer fee since state laws didn’t allow him to work on my case. Most recently, he happily answered WA law questions that I called him with over the phone at no cost. I would highly recommend him! You can tell he is honest and genuine, not about screwing people out of money.

I have known Hunter for many years and am happy that I have someone like him to refer to in cases that are legal in nature.
He fixed a contract issue that I thought was impossible with no problems at all. He knows how to interpret the law and told me exactly what to expect--not sugar coated. I didn't expect for the situation to be handled so effortlessly, but his expertise and ability to negotiate has definitely proved that he is an excellent lawyer.

Hunter was professional and helpful from the start.

Hunter has common sense and as Thomas Paine stated, "Common sense isn't common".

I am an active duty service member and currently deployed overseas. I have never had any legal representation and didn’t know where to start. After many searches on Google to find a trustworthy attorney, I found this GEM! HELLAND LAW GROUP! Andrew Helland and Jeanne Pierce have been extremely helpful, compassionate, diligent and very hands on with my case from beginning to end. I felt, for the first time, that I actually had someone on my side. They did so much in such a short notice. I’m very grateful to HELLAND LAW GROUP!

I could not have asked for better representation during one of the most difficult times in my life. I feel like the cost of my divorce was reasonable and I did not feel nickle and dimed. They came through for me 100% of the time.

Talbot refused to take my case when Ben was under him. Ben saw my case and called me 3 days later and he took my case and won. I was a scared 21 year old and he made me feel okay with the whole process. He told me from day 1 that the insurance had 3 years before court and it would take them almost 3 years to agree to settle. He was honest and compassionate. I would hire him again if I ever needed his help.

Lara Herrmann is top notch and has earned my highest recommendation. She handled my case with such ease, and I was able to get the medical care that I needed. She can be very hands on, or in my case, I preferred to do everything over the phone and electronically. They were amazing, so on top of it and not once did I have to follow up with them to check on where they were at in the process. She will relieve you from many, many headaches and provide the advice you are seeking. I have already referred them two cases, and I plan to continue to send close friends and family their way.

Tim worked extremely hard for my family and I in regard to a domain squatting/ trademark issue we encountered. He is knowledgeable and patient and worked consistently to help us positively resolve an unexpected, extremely important business issue. I was especially impressed by Tim's personalized, thorough, knowledgeable, and quick attention. He is directly responsible for repairing a vital part of our business that we were very concerned about. We are VERY impressed with Tim's professional, kind, and intelligent work. We appreciate his exceptional efforts and results very much.
I really can't say enough positive words about Tim's work. Both my family and I deeply appreciate the level of care, concern, and patience Tim provided. We are so happy with the positive results that were accomplished as the result of his help.

Mr. Sutherland was amazing!! I had worked with another attorney for over a year who did not help me or listen to my needs! Within 4 weeks of hiring Tim, he had changed my situation for the better!!! He always called me back (often calling me before I had a chance to call him) and was very honest and realistic with my case. He took my case at the last minute was very understanding about finances. He put in SO much effort to learn my case inside and out in such a short time. Not often do you meet lawyers that honestly care! It is odd for me to say honesty and lawyer in the same sentence!! Tim Sutherland is that... HONEST and hard working. He really cared and I will forever be greatful for that!!

I am grateful for the legal services that Lucy Clifthorne provided to me (sorry this is so late, Lucy). Lucy was very professional, thorough, always available, and she was quickly able to win my case.

My experience working with attorneys is fairly broad, albeit primarily in the business environment. I can say without hesitation that Lucy Clifthorne was not only very capable and effective in dealing with my / our case and in achieving the desired results, she was also timely, direct and informative and as to how the legal process works and how best to deal with each step along the way. I have rated Lucy’s performance quite highly for these reasons but also due to the sensitivity she showed concerning the overall cost of legal representation. I can say in all sincerity that Lucy earned every dollar of the charges paid to her firm for our representation and did so with no sign or evidence of any attempts to provide services simply to add billable hours. If you seek to retain and work with a highly skilled legal advocate, make your first call to Lucy Clifthorne.

Our small private company was the plaintiff in a complex anti-trust case which involved one of the largest media companies in the world. As our lead attorney throughout those years, John did a very effective job of navigating the difficult and murky waters of anti-trust litigation, building an impressive case and ultimately bringing that case to trial.
More importantly, John was able to effectively litigate in our behalf so that the otherwise overpowering actions of our competitor and its allies were confined enough that we could survive and grow during the years it took to bring the matter to trial.
I found John’s integrity, work ethic and genuine concern for our employees and customers to be memorable and often, inspiring. Over the years, I’ve also found that the lessons learned while working with John have repeatedly been of significant and recurring benefit (including the ongoing reduction of legal expenses that might otherwise have been incurred).

John is an excellent attorney and my husband and I highly recommend him. He is a straight shooter and knows and understands law. He is intelligent, ethical, reliable, reasonable and easy to work with. He knows what he can handle and always refers us to just the right attorney in his firm if we need help in areas outside his expertise.
He has been our business attorney for 8 years and we recommend him whenever we can.

Jennifer worked on my immigration case; my husband whom is a US citizen and I were really pleased by the service she provided us. She helped us gather all the information we need in a very organized way. She reviewed over and over all the papers before filing the applications. She tracked everything and kept us updated in a timely manner. She responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. She was following on the case till the end and without her efforts I wouldn't know how and what to prepare for the immigration paperwork process. I'm extremely glad and satisfied that she made this work successfully. I recommend working with Jennifer; she is an excellent lawyer.

When I was detained I contracted the attorney Jennifer Potter so that she would help me stop my deportation for the fear that I had to return to Mexico. I told everything about my case to Esquire Potter and with her experience and knowledge about these types of cases, she presented my case before Immigration in such a way that I was moved to tears, something difficult to do for a man like me. She took the time necessary to understand my case, my life, my family, and all of the complicated factors in my case. I really appreciate and value the personalized attention and great dedication that she demonstrated in fighting my case. I highly recommend her. (Translation of Spanish below)
Cuando estuve detenido contrate a la abogada Jennifer Potter para que me ayude a detener mi proceso de deportación por mi temor a retornar a Mexico. Le conté todo sobre mi caso a la Dra. Potter y ella con la experiencia y dominio en estos temas presento ante migración mi caso de tal forma que me robo unas lárimas que como hombre que soy no es cosa fácil. Ella se tomó el tiempo necesario para comprender mi caso, mi vida, mi familia y todas las complicaciones que involucraban el mismo. Realmente aprecio y valoro la atencion personalizada y gran dedicacion que ella tuvo para luchar mi caso. Yo la recomiendo enormemente.

Mr. Buffington was very helpful with our process, and we felt very comfortable with his services. We first thought that he was asking for too much paperwork, but at the end, the big list of documents that he required for us to have ready, was very helpful. We think that if it wasn't for all the evidences that Mr. Buffington asked us to have ready before our first meeting, our case would have probably taken longer. The immigration agent ended up asking for more evidences after all, but with the help of Mr. Buffington, and the letters he wrote to the immigration agent in our behalf, we were able to get my green card in less than a year. We are very pleased with Mr. Buffington's services and also his very nice legal assistant, Nina. Everything went so smoothly thanks to them and how organized everyone is in his office. My husband and I are very happy to have hired Mr. Buffington for our case. We recommend his legal services to anyone who is looking for an organized, responsible, knowledgeable, and detailed attorney in the Tacoma area.

After my wife filed for divorce, I had no idea what to expect. Wendy was recommended to me by a friend, and I could not have been happier with the service provided. From the outset, Wendy put my mind at ease and walked me through the process at each and every step.
When comparing the documents prepared by Wendy to the documents prepared by the opposing attorney, I could tell that Wendy was a true professional. The extra time that Wendy put into these documents, as well as the time she spent reviewing with me showed that she cared for the outcome, and had the best interest of myself and my daughters at heart. The outcome from the divorce was way better than I expected, and I have Wendy to thank for that.
I would not hesitate in recommending Wendy to anyone who is going through the painful process of divorce.

Divorces are stressful, emotional, a financial burden and there are legal aspects that just don’t make sense or seem fair. I tried representing myself only to find opposing attorney trying to take advantage of me, that is when I turned to the law office of Wendy Zicht. Wendy started off just advising me until I found a need to have her on my side fulltime. Wendy helped me navigate the legal aspects and got me back on track when my emotions took over. I can not say enough about her knowledge of the laws, her ability to empathize and all-around professionalism. I had a choice of many attorneys to guide me through my divorce, I know I made the right choice in hiring Wendy.
