Amsale Aberra law PLLC is one of the best law firm in Seattle .
In 2019 I had a very tough immigration case and I hired another law firm and it didn’t go well, I spend more than 3k and finally my case got denied due to the lawyer’s irresponsible action. A few months later a friends of mine suggested to contact Amsale’s law firm. She was very kind, positive , thoughtful and a good listener. She listened the entire issue with the previous law firm, and what surprised me was her focus to resolve the problem instead of nailing down.
After a brief discussion and consultation, I hired her to represent me the same case which I got denied previously.
It took her shorter time comparing with the previous lawyer and successfully won my case. Not only that, through the entire process of my case with Amsale I was getting an update based on the information timeframe of each steps from immigration office.
The best part of her consultation, if she thinks your case doesn’t worse to continue, she doesn’t wanna waste your money! This is how she does business !
I will always refer to Amsale law firm for friend and family because she is trustworthy!

I’ve referred a number of people to the Marshall Defense Firm over the years and, without exception, their feedback concerning the firm’s service has been exceptional. The terms I hear consistently are expert, professional, intelligent, sensitive and caring. Honestly, it’s a combination of traits which I see rarely see in law firms I deal with. What a huge compliment to the firm’s legal and life philosophy.

We put off planning for our departures from the earth for a very long time, thinking the process would take forever and be very complicated. Ostrem Law PLLC helped us through the necessary steps quickly, thoroughly and with warmth. What a relief to have everything in order; our loved ones will surely appreciate our fore planning when the time comes.
Thank you Kanoa and Meagan!

Kanoa represented my husband for our prenuptial agreement and later we used him for our wills. He was easy to work with and kept things succinct. We appreciated that he offered a fixed fee for our wills so we knew the cost up front. We will definitely go back to him if we decide to update our wills or do other estate planning in the future.

Fantastic. Recommended by my financial adviser and other estate attorneys. Has his own modest office in Greenwood. He wrote a new will for under $1000 (our previous attorney in a large form with high overhead charged $2500). He's also a great listener. From my limited discussions I'd say that Ostrem has seen about every estate problem, knows how to work within local laws, and was very open to our ideas about allocating our estate while avoiding unnecessary taxes.

I was referred to Patrick Vail by another law firm once it became clear I needed a top-notch litigator to handle my highly complex estate case. Mr. Vail’s expertise yielded an exceptional result for my case, exceeding my expectations in every way throughout the litigation process. While Patrick’s communication skills (both written and verbal) were his most impressive skill, his analytical approach, judgement and perseverance were outstanding. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to be represented by the best.

I believe someone working or has worked for this company has/was doing illegal activities. For an example, Shehana Buksh sent a Will and Testament to someone via email without thoroughly verifying if that individual was the correct person.
Also, the document looked like it was illegally edited.

I originally hired Sean because a plumbing company had caused structural damages to floor joists during a renovation and they would not accept responsibility. What happened instead was Sean transferred me to Joe and the lawsuit lasted 2 1/2 years. We ended up going to arbitration and I won all damages but zero lawyers fees.
Incredibly frustrating experience.
I wouldn’t hire nor recommend them.
I regret hiring Sean and Joe.

I worked with Will Reingold, Jr for my divorce, who was recommended to me by a friend. He was friendly and knowledgeable for a process that is painful for most. The guy always works and never seems to miss a beat. He is always on top of it and prioritizes to get things done/executed like you're his only client. He made efforts to resolve more complicated challenges like parental rights of embryos even though it's not his wheelhouse.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Niloufar, who assisted me in reviewing my franchise contract and all other documents I needed to sign with brokers. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the entire process. She listed every detail in the contract and provided insightful thoughts that were incredibly valuable. She literally made explanations for every section, ensuring I fully understood all aspects of the contract.
In addition to her thorough review, Niloufar also helped me set up my LLC and drafted the operating agreement. Her expertise in these areas was crucial and made the process seamless and stress-free. She even introduced me to commercial brokers to help me find the right space.
Her comprehensive assistance made a significant difference in my experience, and without her help, I would have been at a loss. I highly recommend Niloufar for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated business attorney. Her expertise and support have been invaluable, and I am extremely grateful for her assistance.

I had the privilege of working with Niloufar Park, and my experience was top-shelf. Niloufar demonstrated an in-depth understanding of legal precedent and procedural intricacies across a range of discipline areas.
What set Niloufar apart was their ability to balance practical criteria with the emotional, moral, and ethical aspects of my case. Beyond being a legal advocate, Niloufar functioned as a true legal counselor, alleviating not only the legal complexities but also addressing the negative emotional and experiential factors associated with my situation.
In a realm often dominated by rigid procedures, Niloufar displayed a remarkable skill in seamlessly integrating legal expertise with genuine empathy. Their unique approach not only resolved legal challenges but also provided a remedial effect on my overall well-being, perhaps saving me a trip to the therapist.
I wholeheartedly recommend Niloufar to anyone seeking legal representation that goes beyond the conventional; they are a compassionate advocate who understands the human dimensions of legal matters. My gratitude knows no bounds for the invaluable guidance and support I received during a challenging time.

I was struggling with an Employment situation which involved forged documents and communication from people purporting to be from a well-known company based in California. Joe was extremely diligent and patient about hearing all the facts and then meeting with me in person to review the documents before recommending any action against the employer. He was able to use his connections to get me in touch with the employer's legal team to sort out the issue. I didn't even have to hire him as I am now working directly with the legal team of the employer to investigate and resolve the issue. He is very knowledgeable of the means to get desired outcomes. I definitely got a lot more than what I expected out of a 30 minute consultation. Very reliable and trustworthy.

My experience working with Joseph has been excellent. He was always very supportive in listening to my thoughts to understand my perspective and then, help me to focus on the appropriate response and options based on the best outcome, devoid of emotional connotations.
Joseph's thought process is always anchor on the best strategy to achieve the desired result, expeditiously but without appearing to the other party as insistent, impulsive, nor anxious.
His creativity in answering items brought by the opposite party or to bring to them, topics described by me showed me a dexterity in communication and lexicon that finished with very positive results.
Joseph's quality of work, persistence to discuss important items about my case, no only from a professional - result oriented perspective, but also from a personal - put-matter-behind-me and move-on viewpoints were very valuable; the latter was very helpful and supportive at times...
In closing, the final results of my case, giving my circumstances and items involved, were very positive and positioned me in a good place for my future endeavors.
In my personal and professional opinion, it would be very valuable to discuss your case with Joseph, considering him to be your legal representative or to become a member of your legal representation as his listening attributes, empathy, and persistent manner of systematically work your case, will make his hire a very positive decision on your part.

Couple months ago I got into an at fault accident; rear ended a car. There were no injuries and no major damages to the second car, but I got a speeding ticket, that could increase my insurance rates significantly. I have contacted Andrew and explained my situation; it was easy to talk with him, and got clear answers to all my questions. After consultation (it was free), Andrew took care of my ticket. In one month the ticket was dismissed, and I got confirmation letter in my mail. I am very grateful for Andrew's help, and I HIGHLY recommend him to everyone, because working with him was fast, easy and with a positive result. After my experience, I can tell that Andrew is an Excellent Attorney.

Attorney Jayde Logan took one of the darkest times in my life and brought light and peace to me and my family! In a dual DVPO situation where I felt like there was absolutely no hope of me getting any type of custody with my new born daughter. Miss Jayde Logan did not just defend me in court. She understood my emotional distress I was in and responded to me with sympathy, she listened to my concerns and she answered all of my questions. She brought out the facts of the situation to a Judge in court. By doing so I now have Thursdays - Sundays with my daughter. I HIGHLY recommend Jayde Logan to anyone who is struggling with custody issues in regards to there children. Thank you Jayde!

Jayde took my case on while I was already past the 60 day trial window. She and her team dove right into my case and all of its complications. She was so transparent and realistic with me. My case involved DV and many other factors that were very sensitive and Jayde handled everything with care. She and her team are incredibly consistent and dedicated, they truly make you feel like you’re their only client. The efficiency and dedication she showed with such attentiveness to my case made me want to keep her on retainer for any future purposes and I did. She truly is a amazing, she really cares and fights for the best possible outcome and she will leave no stone unturned. She is very aggressive in court proceedings and she is very prepared. Honestly, as stressful as trial was I was actually incredible intrigued by her presentation of my case. Would 100/10 recommended Jayde! She and her firmed got me what I wanted and more. I will be eternally grateful! ❤️

I hired Jayde when she was working for a different law firm than she is currently. I knew after the first 5 minutes talking with her that she was the attorney I wanted, so when she ended up moving firms in the middle of my case, my case moved with her. She and her paralegal (who ended up moving) were amazing to work with despite everything being done differently due to covid. Jayde got me exactly the results I hoped for, and never made me feel pressured, or like I needed to do anything differently. Absolutely fantastic attorney, would definitely recommend her.

This gal is the most knowlegeable overall of any lawyer i have ever used. Anything I ask her she knows and is quick to answer. No pontificating and dodging the answer. I asked three or 4 lawyers an estate question (they did not know), and Gwyn knew it right away. She doesn't even charge you if you do not engage her and will give you a free half hour (or more). She is awesome and I rely on her for all sorts of legal questions from contracts and real estate, to litigation and procedure matters. I cannot recommend anyone more highly.

I was at a loss when I was served papers by a debt buyer claiming I had opened a credit account and wasn't paying on it. I felt extremely embarrassed and taken advantage of as this claim was severely affecting my credit. Finding Patrick was the best thing I could have done for myself. He took the time to listen to everything I said, asked questions without judgement, and created a case for me against this debt buyer that I was deathly afraid I didn't have a chance at winning. Not only did he get the case dismissed but I was awarded attorney's fees, something I really didn't believe we had a chance with and is what I believe to be quite rare. More important then the money, this fixed my credit score. I would absolutely work with Patrick again and solidly recommend him.

Hello Patrick,
My wife and I wanted to tell you how much we appreciate the work you've done, and even more so in how genuine and transparent you have been throughout the process. At the beginning my wife was pretty freaked out about being whacked with a six thousand-plus dollar bill in the event we had no defense, but conversely freaked out about what would happen if we elected to seek representation...we've never done that before and I think we both always thought that was something only rich people could do. So we kind of felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am certain that she took what she felt was a huge risk in trusting me to determine whether or not to, and if so who, we should hire for representation, and we are really happy with who we picked to do it. So in a nutshell, we really appreciate you also caring about our side of this when its all said and done. Just wanted to share that with you.

My wife was runover in a crosswalk buy a driver. I witnessed the entire thing and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. Fortunately my wife survived but she had very serious injuries which required surgery and hospitalization. Shortly before this event, My wife and I had recently moved to the United States and were unfamiliar with the insurance claims process and how to recover for our injuries. Ryan was referred to us through my wife’s work and he immediately returned my call when I contacted him. We had lots of questions at the beginning and Ryan explanations took a few calls. I could tell he really wanted us to understand what our options were as far as recovery. He also did an excellent job explaining our health insurance benefits and how that related to our claims. When it came time to resolve our claims Ryan continued to be effective. Unfortunately the insurance policy that the driver had was not sufficient to compensate us for our injuries. Therefore Ryan was able to recover money out of the at-fault driver’s pocket for our injuries. Once we recovered as much as we could, Ryan then turned his attention to our health insurance company and did an excellent job dealing with it and its reimbursement claims. This entire matter was traumatic and extremely difficult. I am very thankful that we had Ryan to help us with our recovery and guide us through this process. I recommend you contact him if you’ve been injured.

On a nice day in July a few years ago I was walking down a city sidewalk. The area that I was in was poorly designed for pedestrian traffic. As I was searching for the correct sign to re-direct me to my route, I tripped over a heightened slab of sidewalk. I quickly threw my hands in front of me to brace for the impact, but before my hands could get situated I struck my head and face on the pavement. It was painful and required many medical and dental procedures. When I eventually hired Ryan to handle my case he went to work right away, documenting the area where the fall occurred and sending numerous public records requests to the entities in charge of maintaining the sidewalks to see if there had been complaints in the past. I suspected this was going to be a complicated and difficult matter because of how large the entities were that were responsible for keeping the sidewalk safe. Ryan was tenacious in pursuing the defendants, and after obtaining several thousand pages of documents he was able to locate a smoking gun compliant filed a year or so before my fall, which put one of the entities on notice of the sidewalk. Of course nothing was ever done to fix it, and that dangerous condition caused my fall. We had to file suit, and Ryan continued to pursue the defendants and the truth no matter what obstacles were thrown at him. In the end we were able to resolve my case satisfactorily. I was very impressed with Ryan’s abilities as an advocate and an attorney. I highly recommend contacting him if you’ve been injured and need someone to advocate for you.

Ryan did a awesome job representing my daughter and I after we were in a multiple impact collision on the freeway. Each party claimed the other was at fault so that made it very difficult for my daughter and I. We hired Ryan and he knew what to do right away. We ended up filing suit against both parties but were able to resolve the case without a trial. What was even more difficult was getting the court to approve my daughters recovery. Because of the pandemic it was very difficult to obtain a hearing date for my daughters settlement. Ryan was very persistent in making sure everything was done correctly. I am grateful that Ryan was able to guide my daughter and I through our case and resolve it on favorable terms. I recommend you contact him if you’ve been in a car collision.

I've worked with Teresa on several startup deals - both where I was the investor and when I was on the inside.

I was extremely nervous to set up my small business. I was sure I would miss a step. I let Teresa Daggett take the lead and I am so happy I did. Teresa helped me create an LLC, register with the State, trademark the business name, and put together an amazing contract for me to use with future clients. Then she explained everything to me so I felt confident handling things in the future.
Teresa answered the phone when I called, could meet with me right away, was available to answer all my questions, and got the job done quick. If I need a lawyer in the future, she will be my first call. I recommend you call her, too!

I was so fortunate to find Apex Law when starting my new business. Peter and Tara have been amazing throughout the process and have helped me with every step in forming my social purpose corporation. In addition, they helped connect me with other resources to support my accounting needs and getting set up as a B-Corp. Their support didn’t end when all the paperwork was filed, they have been there to support me with other hurdles I have faced with lease reviews, dispute resolution and setting up our independent contractor agreement. I am so glad to have such great partners that truly care about their clients and our community.

We honestly feel very fortunate, blessed and grateful to have been able to retain the legal services of Dr. Malhas and her phenomenal team. To us, she was like an Angel sent from God to help us at our most crucial time and she did just that by achieving the results for us that we were praying and hoping for.
We came to her with a very complex case, in removal proceedings in the immigration court with very strict time constraints, and our financial limitations but any of those did not deter her from helping us. She took our case and tackled the challenges head on. She carefully and patiently listened to us and our story, took notes of every little detail and through her in-depth knowledge and vast experience, told us exactly what needed to happen and created a detailed and step by step plan with us to make sure we have the best defense possible and are set for success in court, and then followed that plan to perfection in court and the outcome could not have been any better. She made our nightmares go away and our dreams come true. Her teammates were also super kind, friendly and easy to work with through out the case, they always answered our questions in a timely manner and were very efficient and easy to communicate with. We couldn’t have asked for a better firm to represent us and are very happy to have found Dr. Malhas.

The immigration is a stressful process for me, Dr Malhas and her team make this process as easy as is possible, all while being thorough in the evidence they are gathering so it streamlines the entire process. There is no other immigration lawyer I would want to work with. I cannot recommend Dr Malhas enough.

I was very happy with Jeff's contract services and consulting! As I was interviewing multiple law firms to work with, Jeff immediately stood out from all the rest because he actually took the time to understand my need and my use case from the very beginning. He asked insightful questions and uncovered areas that I hadn't even thought of. He was able to tailor a contract that worked perfectly for my small business and was spot-on with the details. Jeff went above and beyond to help my small business and I am grateful for his professionalism and expertise. I'd recommend Jeff to any business owner.

Jeffrey is a very conscientious, highly knowledgable attorney. He helped us update our wills and estate planning.
The process was easy. His rates are very reasonable. We went through the process during the Covid-19 lock down period. Between the online video conferencing, and emailing, it was a safe, socially distant process. Jeffrey drove to our home with his assistant and was able to complete the signing in our driveway with a safe distance at all times.
Another aspect I liked about Jeffrey is how community-oriented he is. His volunteer service to those in need is inspiring.
I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services!

I used Jeff's services for my business last year and he was very responsive and helpful. Matter resolved and moving on. Fast forward to the 2020 Covid19 pandemic when we're all trying to figure out how to keep our businesses going through the shutdown. Three weeks ago I got a random email from Jeff listing out all of the resources we have access to and listing out exactly what needed to be done for each one. I can't begin to say how helpful this was and how kind it was in this difficult time that he thought to send this information to all his former clients. He has even continued to keep us updated as more things open up and rules change. Finding an attorney who is not only good at what he does but who actually cares about his clientele is pretty fantastic. I highly recommend Jeffrey Liang.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
- Help you choose the best legal structure for your business.
- Draft, review, and negotiate contracts with employees, suppliers, customers, or business partners.
- Ensure regulatory compliance with local, state, and federal laws.
- Advise on tax strategies to minimize your business's tax burden.
- Assist with intellectual property protection, such as trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
- Handle mergers, acquisitions, and business sales, ensuring all legal paperwork is in order.
- Resolve disputes through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
How Are Business Lawyers Paid?
Business lawyers typically charge either by the hour or on a flat-fee basis, depending on the complexity of the work. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rates: The lawyer charges based on the time spent working on your case. Rates vary depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fees: For certain tasks, such as incorporating a business or drafting a standard contract, a lawyer may offer a flat fee.
- Retainer: Some businesses may hire a lawyer on retainer, paying a fixed amount each month to have ongoing access to legal services.
The payment structure is often discussed during an initial consultation so you can choose the one that best suits your business needs and budget.
How Much Does a Business Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a business lawyer depends on factors such as:
- The complexity of the legal issue: More complex matters, like mergers or intellectual property disputes, typically cost more than routine tasks like contract drafting.
- The lawyer's experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in larger cities often charge higher fees.
- The nature of the billing arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $150 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer's expertise. Flat fees are usually available for simpler matters like forming an LLC or drafting a standard contract.
It's essential to discuss fee structures upfront to avoid surprises.
Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with businesses like mine?
Find out if the lawyer has handled legal issues for companies in your industry. -
What services do you offer?
Ensure the lawyer can meet all your business's legal needs, from contract drafting to dispute resolution. -
What are your fees, and how do you bill?
Get clarity on how you'll be charged - whether by the hour, flat fee, or retainer. -
How do you handle conflicts of interest?
Ask how the lawyer ensures there is no conflict in representing your business. -
Can you provide references from other business clients?
Speaking with past clients will give you an idea of the lawyer's expertise and professionalism. -
Do you have experience in my specific industry?
Industry-specific knowledge can be crucial, especially in highly regulated fields like healthcare or finance.
How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is in good standing and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.
- A list of legal issues or concerns: Be ready to discuss any potential legal challenges, such as regulatory compliance, disputes, or transactions.
- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
