I met Gina Auter back in 2005 when she represented me in my marriage dissolution. My biggest concern was having a fair parenting plan so I could have my 2 kids for more than just a Weds evening visit and every other weekend. I was able to get a plan that allows me to have my kids almost 50% of the time.
A few years later my ex wife remarried and relocated my kids from Puyallup to Seattle and I once again hired Gina to help me try to stop the relocation. Gina was honest with me upfront that our chances were not great but she would do her best. While we were not successful in stopping the relocation, Gina was able to get both my parenting plan and child support adjusted to something that I felt was very fair. I cannot say enough good things about Gina and her assistant and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance with family law. Thank you 100 times over Gina, you are an incredible attorney and someone I would consider to be a great friend.

Ms. Auter did a fantastic job with my parenting plan modification. I most appreciated her obvious integrity--when she spoke, she was clear; when she explained, she was thorough; when she took action, she was decisive. I knew that I was getting outstanding representation.

I worked with Brooke to form my company. She was a pleasure to work with and one of the things I liked best was how she explained my different options to me. Once we had settled on what I wanted to do, she took care of all of the filing and created my business properly. I'm reassured that my business has a sound footing and that my operating agreement is correct. I look forward to working with her on additional business and contract needs that I'll have.

Ms. Johnson helped me when I had a dispute with my literary agent. I felt I could no longer effectively communicate with her so she stepped in and helped out. Ms. Johnson reviewed my contract, clearly pointed out its inconsistencies and what we could do to come to a resolution.
She answered emails and phone calls promptly. She answered my questions and concerns so I understood clearly what was happening. She kept me abreast of her conversations with my agent, so I always felt in the loop. We came to a resolution as quickly as possible.
I highly recommend Ms. Johnson for help with contracts and intellectual property.

Mark is an exceptional attorney. I had a business lawsuit that 2 different lawyers turned down because they said it was not winnable. I had a very complicated case involving a non-compete and was in a bad place with an ex-employer who set me up to fail. I had started my business and was in dire straits until I met with Mark. Mark was immediately responsive and really worked hard to keep me in business. We knew we were on the right side of the law and he fought for me every step of the way. He showed great restraint when necessary as to not "run up my bill", but when the gloves came off...he really shined. We ended up winning two very significant court battles which led to the other side agreeing to a settlement. I can't say enough good things about Mark's approach in handling things and his tenacity to getting results. Whatever negative views you have about attorneys will be turned upside down when you work with Mark...he is truly a great lawyer who is guided by principle and integrity! I have referred several new clients to him and everyone of them had the same experience and results. Mark is now my business attorney and continues to make it happen for me in every respect.

Cameron is amazing. I had a very sticky legal issue. I was looking to gain full custody of my daughter with very strict visitation due to her having special needs. His detailed parenting plan he drafted went above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for. He covered areas I didnt think or know to worry about. He is caring, friendly and very informed! He helped me to win my case and also reviewed my restraining order information. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Cameron represented me in 2 separate cases. One was a complicated truck title issue. The other was a suit being filed against me regarding an injury at my home. In both cases, Cameron was great about communication. He kept me posted with updates on the case by phone calls and email. He was good about giving recommendations but made it clear that each decision made was completely up to me. I was happy with the outcome on both cases. I hope I don't need a lawyer again, but if I did, I would not hesitate to hire Cameron again.

Dennis recently defended my adult son and found his attention to detail remarkable. Very open to ideas and thoughts and able to work as a "team" with us. His HUGE heart and feelings helped us deal with the monstrous mission of defending our son. Mr. Burns went out of his way to be available for any and all questions/concerns we had. Although my son did not get the full not guilty verdicts we were striving for, he did get a reduced sentence.
I would hire him again if the need arose. (praying that it does not though)

I worked through much of my unlawful detainer case on my own, but when it was clear the situation had gone beyond what I could manage, I hired Kelly. She was quick, responsive, and very knowledgable. She gave me her honest assessment of the situation and both best and worst possible outcomes--I felt equipped to make the decisions I needed to take action in my case. Although she advised me originally in one direction and I moved in another, she acted in my personal interest effectively, efficiently, and perhaps most important--successfully!

I personally spoke with 10-12 attorneys when I began my search for an attorney that could represent me in a family estate dispute. When I spoke with Mr. Rosenblum, I knew immediately that he was the one to handle my problem. Even before I hired him, he spent much time on the phone with me and also met with my husband and I in person at his office to get a better grasp of the problem at hand. Not once, did we feel rushed... We hired him, and the all through the process of the dispute, right up until the very last minute of the estate closing, he was right by our side...
His attention to detail is top notch and truly cares about his clients; not only now, but in their future. All the documents that he prepared for us were clear and concise and I feel fully protects us and our future, and leaves no room for question or error. While I was not sure about hiring a large law firm and getting "lost in the shuffle", nothing could be farther from the truth. Mr. Rosenblum and his staff made me feel like I was his only client. On top of all of this, he is extremely quick to respond to his clients; whether it be an e-mail at 1:00 am or answering a phone call from me, at his office, on the holidays. I always knew that I could get him on the phone if necessary, as problems arose. This was a great comfort at this incredibly stressful time.
The very confusing laws of probate do not phase him. He knows the law inside and out.
Thank you Mr. Rosenblum!!!!! :)

Jay represented me during a 2nd DUI offense and we received a favorable outcome. I was caught driving on a suspended license afterwards and this was my 3rd DWLS 1st. I was facing 6 months in jail and losing my career. He was able to get my charged reduced to a DWLS 2nd and I received 90 days of Electronic Home Monitoring. I am still employed with my company I have been with for 5 years! Jay is very knowledgeable of DUI and DWLS defense. He always kept me in the loop and is very supportive during difficult times.

Haley, was so much more than just a lawyer to me. She quickly became someone I trusted, confided in and leaned on. The amount of care and passion she handled my case with, made it feel as if it was her own child at the heart of this case.
I originally hired her only to handle updating and changing a parenting plan that was out date and needed revision. Not only had my child (still) not seen their father in over 2 years, but there was a DVOP against him and other complications that made this mess. The DVOP was due to expire around the time I hired her, and I had made it clear I could handle that on my own as I had the last two years prior and I only needed her for the original request.... well... cue me calling her in tears, in the middle of the day a couple weeks later, having a panic attack because I needed more help than I thought handling the DVOP. As embarrassed as I was to be so upset, she handled me so well. She took in all the information she could, reassured me, consoled me, and grabbed the reigns from there. THAT DAY, she has documents written up stating she would be representing me to all parties. Her attention to detail was astounding. She combed over 100+ pages of documentation and had our statement ready within a week. Not only did she come with enough information to handle winning that case alone, but she found past cases similar to mine to reflect WHY it should go in our favor, and by a landslide we got the DVOP renewed. She was so professional yet aggressive when it came to defending me or pointing out holes in the information the other party presented, easily discrediting any slander or false statements.
When it came to editing/changing the parenting plan she really took the time to hear what I wanted and why I wanted it, and even (based on the DVOP case and how that was handled by the other party) provided ideas or things I hadn't even thought of to be better obtain our needs. She had seen first hand what I was dealing with in the other party and knew how to handle it with ease. She was diligent in chasing down the other party for things we needed, and never missed a beat when it came to keeping me up to date. She was honest when it came to the advise she gave, she told me when/if what I was hoping for was farfetched and also advised when I should be hoping for more. She was mindful of my financial situation as well, and really made sure to help there while still doing all she could. She wouldn't back down from something she knew was attainable even if it took presenting past cases, current situations or even going to court if through mediation we couldn't get what we needed to feel safe. Luckily in this case we were able to handle this through mediation, but if it was not for her fighting for me and my daughter I am not sure if it would be that simple. We came with a plan. An informed, well thought out, data supported plan that she wouldn't back down from to ensure we left feeling safe, confident and whole. She fought for me and my child like she was fighting for her own. She was upset when I was upset, she was happy when I was happy she was always there with me. Every step of the way.
Mediation was a little over 6 months ago and it was amazing that something that is usually a really heavy, long, painful event, feels like a shining moment in the case overall.
I cannot speak enough about Haley and all she has done for myself and my family. She is honest, hard working, LISTENS, cares about all aspects and really felt like a friend more than a lawyer. Her attention to details, honesty, straight forward communication and through process all just add to the already amazing lawyer that she is. She will forever be my go to when it comes to handling this situation. There truly are not enough words to convey how grateful I am for her. She is the BEST!
