I met with Alicia (I believe... over a year ago) regarding some adoption questions. She was professional, courteous, and very helpful. When it came time to adopt and I had been given a list of attorneys, she was on the list. Of course I chose her and I'm glad I did. Top notch, prompt, efficient, friendly, you name it! It was such a smooth adoption! Thank you Alicia!! Highly recommend. FYI.. Her office is right near the water in downtown Edmonds. Pack a picnic when you visit her office!

I am overjoyed with the service and results I received and continue to receive from Cunnane Law. Ever since I lost function in my hands and other health issues, I have been struggling with the ramifications, not the least of which is how I would survive when the continuation of my LTD benefits was denied. I never had the need for an attorney before and was very nervous about the whole thing as I’ve had friends go through a lot of unpleasantness with lawyers in general. John Boone is so warm, reassuring, and responsive and helped me get through all the stages of my appeal. My health issues have affected me both physically and cognitively and John is so understanding and accommodating. I was beyond impressed with the thoroughness of my appeal. The professionals they work with were also amazing and so respectful. I won my appeal and much more quickly than I thought! My case was not simple and Cunnane Law came through for me. I am so grateful and have Joe Cunnane, John Boone and his team to thank for it. I am extremely grateful that I chose the right attorney and would trust them with any of my friends and family. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I endorse them without hesitation.

Joe Cunnane helped me through the car accident/injury process. He took the burden off my shoulders so I didn't have to worry about trying to deal with the other driver's insurance company, especially when I was still recovering from my injury. He is caring and worked for me, not for himself. Very professional. He is close by and, thus, easy to reach if I needed to sign forms, etc. I would refer him to anyone who needed an attorney for a car accident.

I was injured in a rear end accident where I was the passenger, and the insurance company wasn’t taking me or my injuries seriously. The insurance company kept trying to push me to settle, and I was still treating. After a friend recommended I talk to Ahmad, I called him and I’m so glad I did! Ahmad got right to work and let me focus on getting better and he walked me through every thing, step by step and he always was quick to respond and answer my questions. Professional and responsibal interaction, Ahmad got me a recovery that was 12 times more than the insurance company had initially offered me! I’m so glad I hired Ahmad. He got me a settlement that I deserved and was entitled to! So if you’re reading this, take note! I almost feel like this accident made me better LOL!! But seriously, Ahmad, thank you for being my advocate, lawyer, and friend. Take care my friend.

I initially hired Mr. Khalaf to represent me on a personal injury case and am so glad that I did!! He always explained everything clearly, always got back to me when I need something, helped me understand all my options, and worked hard to get me a realllly good settlement! Some family stuff came up also latee and I found out Mr. Khalaf does estate planning. I hired him to help me draft up a will and knocked that out! Its been really great working with Mr. Khalaf and he really helped with all my legal pains. If you've been injuried in an accident or if you need a will, trust me... your in good hands with Mr. Khalaf! Thank you

I contacted Ahmad with some questions about a scenario, assuming I would likely need to hire a lawyer for an issue that would require much attention. He provided me with expert consultation that was extremely helpful, and in the end I had all I needed to handle the issue on my own. I was impressed with his knowledge and expertise, as well as his ability to break down complex legal jargon. I will definitely hire him if I need an attorney in the future.

Jenna Nand is an excellent lawyer who had given us legal advice and helped us to raise our revenue. She is very smart and really thinks out of the box. She handled all our legal correspondence to our clients very professionally and I would recommend Jenna Nand to people who need legal assistance. For Jenna no legal situation is difficult and she goes out of her way to arrive at acceptable solution. And her fees are reasonable.

Joe was brought on to my case about 6 months before trial by another attorney I hired. He took the lead of the trial process and worked harder than I thought possible to help me. Ultimately we achieved something pretty incredible with the jury verdict, and then he kept fighting and advocating for me through the process of collecting that verdict. If you want somebody who's going to ensure that every detail is covered and that you feel supported and encouraged through the whole process, you can't get any better than Joe Pipinich. He's not just a good lawyer, he's a really good person and that's the key to being so good at what he does.

After contacting Mr Pipinich, we met to talk about my case. I was not sure where to go with my case and I was at least hoping he could point me in the right direction if he could not help me. After going over my paperwork, Joe seemed perturbed. He too was upset at the Ex employer that was trying to rip me off! Joe told me that i had an Excellent case and that he would need to make a couple inquiries and get back to me. A couple days later Joe called and asked to meet. he presented the paperwork that he was ready to have served and gave me some options.I was really impressed by the way Joe explained everything so that I could understand. we chose a path and Joe had the paperwork served. I got nervous when the ex employer retained one of the largest Law offices in Seattle. Joe was so confident,and that made me more confident. their offers started at "ridiculous" then got better. eventually we did settle without going to court.I recieved way more than I was originally owed. I was happily surprised by how quick all this went. I have recommended Joe to others since and i will continue to do so.

Joe Pipinich did an amazing job helping our family through a trying time. About 4 years ago our dog was attacked by two pit bulls that broke through our gate and shattered our border collies front leg. When the owners refused to help with costs and turned it over to their insurance company who placed a value on our dog of only $1000 we contacted Mr. Pipinich and he contacted and fought with the insurance company to get the full medical bills covered this allowed us to get the best help possible to try and save my dogs leg. This was an expensive process to save the dogs leg and in the end amputation was the best option. If not for Mr. Pipinich fighting for us we would have had to put our animal down due to the costs incurred from the damage to our dogs leg. He took on the case and fought for us and our dog and I will say I was impressed by his compassion and fortitude in fighting our case. The insurance company saw our dog as an asset and Joe fought for him as if he was a family member. I believe Joe Pipinich to be a great asset to his profession and will fight for his clients to the very end. Thanks Joe you are a great lawyer and friend.

Amy is the one to see about any Construction issues you may have that might lead to litigation. Lawyers are like Doctors. You don't see a Pediatrician if you need brain surgery. Not all Lawyers are up to speed when it comes to Construction legal issues. I have used Amy Professionally and would recommend her for a satisfactory outcome.

Attorney Amy Hoffman is a professional & competent person whom I got the awesome pleasure of teaming up with. But before we go any further, I want to acknowledge that I initially had teamed up with a law firm, but it only lasted about 6-months until finally my case was referred to Attorney Hoffman in September 2012. Within only a few days, I begun to see some clear, positive results. I was impressed to see the awesome work Attorney Hoffman was doing. She immediately went on the offensive and sent out all pertinent legal correspondences, which immediately caught the attention of the opposing attorney and bonding company, and in the end got the bonding company to settle early. Attorney Hoffman kept me informed every step of the way, regardless of the time of day, or day of the week. For example, Attorney Hoffman graciously permitted me to communicate with her on weekends. And this gesture took alot of stress and pressure off my mind. And earned my family's admiration and respect. She was very responsive and understanding to my family's needs. Attorney Hoffman promptly addressed any questions or concerns I had. I am very grateful towards her for continuing to exercise her fiduciary responsibility to protect my family's legal interests. Attorney Hoffman consistentlydemonstrated a high level of professionalism, competence, knowledge & experience. My family will be forever grateful for her untiring efforts. Thank you very much Attorney Hoffman. J C

I haven't had the chance to hire William yet but he has been a tremendous wealth of information here at Avvo (and he even spent time on the phone with me), from dissolution to contempt to garnishment to foreclosure, etc. Life has been a bundle of jo … er… heck lately ;) and he seems to be able to provide information in every area I need help in. When I am ready to hire, it'll be William. :)

Lisa Atkinson has been my attorney for several years. She has helped me with my family's estate planning, probate for my step-father and my mother, creating wills and creating the contract, all legalities and set-up for my own SCorp business and then several years later did the same for my second store and partnership. She did all these things in a very timely fashion and kept me in the loop.
She is very friendly, approachable, informative and makes sure I understand all the specifics and answers any questions I may have.
I have great respect for Lisa and her vast knowledge and intellect and kindness. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone.

Lisa prepared wills and the associated documents for my husband and I, and later helped me set up an LLC for my business. She was very professional and responsive and got the work done quickly and for the quoted price. As a CPA, I have referred her to a number of my clients who needed to update their wills, incorporate their businesses, or needed help handling a parent's estate. I have heard only positive comments. I would absolutely recommend her again.

Amanda Peters clearly understands the in's and out's of Maritime Law.
She did an Excellent job of clearly explaining my case every step of the way. When ever I had any questions or concerns, either she or her extremely competent support staff were there to help.
I worked for a Law Firm a number of years ago. After that experience I hoped I'd never have to deal with an attorney for any reason. They were the one's all the lawyer jokes were made for.
Amanda has restored my faith in the legal profession. Not only was she a total pleasure to work with, she was able to negotiate a settlement that was ten times more than the original offer. That was definitely something I didn't expect.
At no time during the process was I ever left wondering. Amanda always kept me abreast on what was happening.
All in all it was a wonderful experience.
Yes I have and will continue to refer anyone that is in need of her services.
Thank you Amanda!

Amie successfully provided substantial guidance and leadership in steering a sensitive Claim situation where maintaining positive relationships was as paramount as the outcome goals.
Aside from being able to directly interact with Amie, all tasks assigned to Amie's team consistently resulted in direct and competently executed results.
I highly recommend Amie where the need for a knowledgeable and resourceful Attorney is required to assist in any matters dealing with Overseas Injury Claims, especially when relationships need to be maintained in a professional and courteous manner to ensure long term goals are accomplished as well as short term closure.

My husband, diagnosed with dementia, inadvertently missed our annual payment to our Long Term Life Insurance policy, which we had faithfully maintained for nearly 25 years.
Upon contacting the insurance company with the required form, they informed me that their Board of Directors had denied reinstating his policy. They stated his only benefit would be the return of what he had paid in. After researching the cost of memory care facilities, I discovered his policy would only cover about nine months of care.
Eventually, I was referred to Aaron Engle, who offered guidance on how to proceed. Within a few weeks, Aaron thoroughly reviewed the situation and advised me to formally request all documentation and correspondence, including the Power of Attorney they had requested.
Shortly after submitting this request, I received a phone call notifying me that my husband had been reinstated.
Without Aaron's expert guidance and precise legal advice on how to word the final request, I doubt we would have succeeded.
My experience underscores how strongly I recommend Aaron. When dealing with insurance companies who may try to avoid payouts, it's crucial not to simply accept their initial responses. It's worth pursuing and verifying to ensure they uphold their commitments.

I would highly recommend Aaron Engle for your disability-related legal needs. After researching several attorneys in and out of state, I decided Aaron was the right fit for my case, and I stand confident in that decision to this day.
Aaron worked diligently on my case for two years. He was always very honest in his assessment of my situation and helped to educate me about the ins and outs of ERISA cases. He listened compassionately to my story and patiently answered my never-ending string of questions. Even when we had already discussed things and I still didn’t quite “get it,” he would patiently explain it to me again. He gave sound advice on how to approach my case, and I believe it benefited me greatly to follow his advice. His communication was always thorough, professional, and kind.
He was patient with the time I took to reflect, consider my needs, and make big decisions. He never pushed me or rushed me in any particular direction. I truly felt that he cared about my best interests, listened, and did his best to work toward the outcome I wanted, even when he wasn’t confident that it would be possible. He walked the difficult line of managing my expectations while still fighting for the outcome I hoped for. He really stepped up in negotiating a settlement on the terms that I requested, in a way that is not always done. He reached out to colleagues who could collaborate on my case and successfully assist with my requests. This all led to the resolution of my case in the best way possible given the difficult circumstances that often surround our need to seek disability attorneys in the first place. I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future. Thank you Aaron & team for all you did for me.

I cannot recommend my attorney Aaron I Engle highly enough. He embodies decency and discipline, making him not just a remarkable human being but a truly exceptional lawyer. What sets him apart is his honesty; he never provides false hope but instead offers you the truth.
From day one, he lays out a clear timeline, giving you a realistic expectation of the process ahead. One of his most outstanding skill is his ability to listen attentively during conversations, ensuring that he truly understands your concerns and needs.
My endorsement of his services isn't based on a single case but on the consistent success he has delivered. I have referred two of my friends to him, and he has emerged victorious in all three cases including mine. His working methods and ethical standards remain unwaveringly high, ensuring a standard of excellence that brings peace of mind to his clients.
Having had him by my side, I can attest to the satisfaction and reassurance that comes from having such a competent and reliable attorney in your corner.
Thank you Aaron, your commitment to your clients are truly commendable.
