My wife and I are very fortunate to have selected the legal services of Mr. Barry Wallis of Wallis Law Firm in Tacoma to take the lead in helping us through an extremely complicated and challenging personal injury lawsuit. When all was said and done, it was Mr. Wallis’ attention to detail, professional acumen, his highly talented staff and his irreproachable integrity that ultimately provided an outcome beyond our expectations. Please consult with Mr. Wallis before you select any other counselor.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Mr. Wallis. He made me feel so comfortable during this difficult time in my life. I have never been in trouble with the law, other than a traffic ticket 20 years ago. But this was totally different. He has so much compassion and understanding, which made it alot easier for me. He fought for me on my case and got my case dismissed. Without his help, I would not be able to move on with my life, So "Thank you so very much Mr. Wallis". I would definately recommend Mr. Wallis to family and friends.

Senator was very very awesome he stayed in contact with me, always filled me in on what was going on work and took the time to actually listen to me. I was being charged with several criminal charges and he had them all drop down to one ticket non-criminal. He was able to convince the prosecutor to actually look at my case and use common sense and with his hard work, my case resulted into a ticket I'm very pleased with him and his firm so if you need help here's your man and thank you senator for helping me and my family out

Austin is a very knowledgeable and a very reliable attorney. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is approachable and so easy to get along with. I was so scared after receiving a letter to appear in court, but felt at ease after meeting him the first time. My case got dismissed on my arraignment day! I told him he is my lucky charm! And for that, I highly recommend hiring him as your lawyer!!

I have nothing but great things to say about John Doherty. He has helped me with two cases and both times I came out better than I had ever expected. He always made himself available any time I had any questions or concerns. He put so much time and energy in to both of my cases. I recommend John Doherty anytime anyone I know needs an attorney or even just legal advice. He is simply the best!

I was charged with a felony offense last year that I was not guilty of. I consulted with John and he felt that he could help me so I hired him. Before court John explained exactly what was going to happen and made me feel as comfortable. He met with the prosecutor and explained my position. At the next hearing John had me bring some documentation with me. He showed me some cases he had researched and explained why my case should be dismissed. Before our next hearing, the prosecutor had called John and told him that the case was going to be dismissed. I can't tell you how happy I was that I hired John.

I have practiced law in Pierce County for over 30 years. I worked as an associate attorney for James Krueger for a number of years and have hired him several times over the years to represent me on some personal business and real estate matters. Based upon my experiences in dealing with business and real estate attorneys in Pierce County for over 30 years, I have found James Krueger to be the smartest one of the bunch.

I was referred to John's firm by a relative who works in the legal field for a somewhat complex personal injury case against the government and had the great fortune of developing a relationship with John after having interviewed with a couple of other attorneys. He was patient and caring and always receptive to our input and feedback. He worked very hard to make sure my wife and I were fully informed regarding all aspects of the law and the multiple procedures and actions this case would require. He worked closely with us to achieve a very favorable outcome and never pressured us to make a decision or accept an offer to settle, it was always very clearly up to us how to proceed and we always felt well informed. John is very personable and friendly, it was obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients beyond the matters of the case and not only advocated for my rights and fair compensation, he also made sure that I was receiving appropriate and complete medical care and treatment.
I have proudly referred John to friends and family and have since asked him to represent me in a moderate vehicle accident claim as well.
I am glad to have been John's client and my wife and I are happy we selected him to be our attorney.
Highest regards, sincerest gratitude.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I cannot recommend this attorney highly enough for family court cases, including divorce, parent planning, and child support. He truly understands the importance of doing what’s right for your unique family situation and is dedicated to ensuring that your divorce does not turn into a battlefield. His approach is all about peace and fairness, which is incredibly refreshing in such emotionally charged situations.
Don’t let his kindness fool you, though. While he is polite and compassionate, he can be the other party’s worst nightmare when necessary. His weapon of choice is a combination of politeness and strategic thinking, and he knows when to channel his inner lion to fiercely advocate for his clients. If you’re looking for an attorney who balances empathy with assertiveness, look no further. He will guide you through the process with grace and strength, ensuring the best possible outcome for your family.

Not only did he handle my case with the utmost responsibility and professionalism, meticulously attending to every detail, but he also demonstrated a genuine compassion and commitment towards helping both my child and me through this challenging time. His empathetic approach, combined with his keen legal acumen, made all the difference, guiding us towards a very favorable outcome.
Stephen's unwavering dedication to me and my son's well-being was evident in every interaction, and it's clear he went above and beyond to ensure our needs were not just met, but exceeded. His strategic advice and support were invaluable, making me feel fully supported every step of the way. I can sincerely say that not a single cent of what I paid him was wasted; Stephen invested his heart and soul into our case, delivering results that reflect his hard work and dedication.
I am immensely grateful for Stephen's efforts and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and results-driven attorney. His work ethic is truly commendable.

I have always been impressed with Tim Sutherland. He has the ability to not only complete the task at hand but to do it with compassionate sensitivity and delivery with authority demanding nothing but the respect he deserves. He in my opinion is a class above the rest. I wouldn't expect anything but the best hands down bar none he is a man of his word and an example to follow.

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.
Thank you Tim!!!!

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. I could have easily turned around and taken the other party to court for their error and I would won, but I listened to Lucy's excellent advise and chose to not do so. It's great to work with someone with whom you can trust.

Lucy was very careful and cautious in accepting our company and certain officiers as clients in a rather complicated litigation matter involving a major contract dispute and allegations of discrimination .
Within 8 months she was able to get the case dismissed and to get our company a major award of damages against the plaintiffs. .

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.

Steve is a very good listener. He asks enough questions to see what all the issues are before deciding he has a ready made answer for you. Every time I have worked with him he has proposed more than one solution but includes the consequences and possible outcomes of each. He is my go-to business attorney.

John was extremely helpful. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and did his best to keep me updated on new developments. My case never went to trial, so I can't speak to any specifics in that realm.
He is easy to talk to and seems to genuinely care about his clients.
I would not hesitate to contact him again, if the need arose.

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.
