Mr. Bush was recommended to me by a former classmate at UPS Law School and working with him was a pleasure. I had worked with another lawyer when appointed legal guardian for my mother and that fellow had quit by letter with absolutely no explanation why. When I meet with Mr. Bush, I discovered that there were all kinds of things this first guy failed to tell me about my responsibilities. Jim patiently helped me through rectifying the oversights. He responds quickly to calls or emails, is very thorough, never misses a court deadline, and when my mother died, immediately helped me begin transitioning the estate from my guardianship to probate, with my sister as the executor.

I hired the Moveri law group to handle my child custody case in 2018. When they assigned Kasey to my case I was very impressed with her professionalism and skill. She was absolutely on top of every aspect of my case and always had time for me and any questions or concerns I had. She went above and beyond what you would think a lawyer would do, as she cared not just about my case, but for ME as a person and the toll the whole process was taking from me emotionally. She is young but her age detracts not one iota from her skill and ability to take on any judge or situation with confidence and ability. An absolute bulldog in court she helped me win my case, and now my children are home with me where they belong. Moceri law and the entire staff are awesome and will work with you on every aspect of your legal issue with care and skill. I HIGHLY recommend Kasey and Moceri law for any need you may have!!

Mr. Tuell was very helpful in giving advice on Estate Planning for my dad before he died, and in processing of the sale of his house. His timely advice saved me well over $100,000 that would have gone to the state. (The state sent a letter of intent to put a lean on my dad’s estate, but after seeing the paper work that had been done retracted that Intent- very cool!) I would strongly encourage my friends to seek Mr. Tuell out!

Just look back at Mr. Schafers past and how the judicial system treated him for doing what was ethical. I personally had an experience with that good ole boy Grant Cadillac Anderson. That judge set me up, and ruined my life on March 26th 1994. He should never have been a judge, he was incompetent had no foresight and no integrity. He only did what he wanted and rules of law be damned Mr. Schafer provide that in spades. Anderson would have been a much more successful judge during the Janovich days back in the 1970's. Recently I saw Anderson retrieving some laundry from a cleaners and could barely contain myself and keep from hurting this ex-judge, Douglas Schafer is my personal hero and he doesn't even know me. I hope I am able to hire him on issues related back to those days and came upon this review section and really hope this goes to print as the part regarding sanction was improper and should not be there. Pierce County has always been corrupt and remains that way.

Dan Gurel is a very talented lawyer. I watched Dan as a city of Federal Way prosecutor when I was law enforcement officer with that city several years ago. When I needed an attorney, I knew Dan would be the person I wanted representing me. He is always on time, he does what he says he will do, and as my issue proceeds through the legal system, he has been a total pro every step of the way. Whether it's a civil matter, or a criminal issue, Dan knows Washington state law and has the talent and skill to apply his knowledge to win in court!

Dan is one of the best lawyers on the west coast. He is skilled at coming up with a strategy and the courts know that when he gets involved, he’s going to be putting up a fight. He’s personable and experienced and he has a team of the top people and they all bring a different skill set to the table. He’s always been responsive to me and you can tell he’s passionate about running a business where there’s a higher standard of service given. He wouldn’t keep anyone on his team who isn’t as devoted to being the best.

Dan and his paralegal Lauren kept my mind and anxiety at ease throughout my case. I signed with Dan Gerls while he was still at PGL and agreed to stay with him when he branched out to begin his own firm. I am SO happy I made this decision. Due to back up in the court system my case took just under 2 years, and Dan was with me every step of the way to explain what was happening and answer my questions. Things have finally come to a close and I’m very happy with the outcome!

I couldn’t be more pleased with the way Michael Clark and his incredible team handled my case. From start to finish, he made the process smooth and stress-free, allowing me to place full trust in his expertise. He was meticulous in detailing every step of the procedure, ensuring I was well-informed and comfortable with the direction we were taking. His commitment to my well-being extended beyond the legal aspects—he helped me find the right answers to my physical concerns and guided me toward appropriate medical treatment for my injuries. His promptness in returning my calls and addressing any questions I had was truly reassuring. I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a dedicated, kind hearted and knowledgeable attorney.

Michael Clark and Kristen were lifesavers after I was severely injured in a hit and run auto accident. Mr. Clark came highly recommended by more than one person who worked within the legal system and he did not disappoint. I was in a care center for seventy two days with a broken shoulder, ribs and two broken ankles. I wasn’t allowed to bear weight in order to start my rehab journey to walk again for the first 6 weeks. During this challenging time, I never worried about medical bills or dealing with auto insurance etc. Mr. Clark and his staff took care of all the negotiations with the insurance companies so I could focus on healing. I felt very comfortable contacting Michael’s office for any questions I had. They were prompt, caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend the Law Office of Michael Clark Injury Attorney.

I had an exceptional experience working with Kelsey Ault as my lawyer. From the very first consultation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a genuine commitment to my case. Kelsey was incredibly attentive, always taking the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions thoroughly.
What truly sets Kelsey apart is her professionalism and dedication. She was proactive in keeping me updated on the progress of my case and always made sure I understood the next steps. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process, and she worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.
Kelsey is not only a skilled attorney but also a compassionate person who genuinely cares about her clients. I felt supported and confident knowing she was in my corner.

A partner in our LLC Company recently sold his shares to a company located in The Netherlands. The whole negotiating and legal process took over a year. The entire time Lamont Loo was the primary lawyer out of three lawyers. He drafted/updated and controlled all legal documents during this time. His superb knowledge of corporate and internal law was pivotal to a successful agreement. One great thing about Lamont and his team is they are very accessible when needed. We highly recommend Lamont for any legal services.

Lamont assisted us in writing our will after we had our children a few years ago. During the writing of the will Lamont was professional and informative. He continues to send us correspondence via mail regarding our will, specifically if there are any changes we would like to make or a reminder that we can contact him anytime should we have a question. We had and continue to have a great relationship with Lamont and would highly recommend him for his services.

I was facing 60 months for an assault and within 6 months Morgan Benfield took me to trial and got me an acquitted via an “Not Guilty” verdict from the jury.
Looking back at this process, I would sincerely tell anyone whom is looking for a defense attorney to consider hiring Morgan Benfield.
His entire philosophical process was way beyond easy and in the end, despite the flagrant dishonesty and intentional difficulty inflicted upon us by the State, especially during the pretrial process, he smoothly navigated and directed us to a big win.
If you hire Mr Benfield please understand that the courts respect him as well. For example, whenever I showed up to arraignment, the State made it crystal clear that they were going to ask for $50,000 bail. Once they’d been informed that I was represented by Morgan Benfield, that request suddenly plummeted to $15,000, the judge ultimately deciding to release me for free under my own recognizance. “Mr Cho I see that you’ve hired your own attorney” he said, prior to releasing me.
I say again Mr Benfield is super easy to work with. So easy that at times I felt uncomfortable with the lack of effort that was required of me. You literally pay for his services and let the man work. Other lawyers, many times more expensive ones will not only ask you for their fee but then will give you a packet/check list of all the things that you need to do on your end before they get started. They’ll even attach your bill on the very top as they hand it all over to you. This is the extreme opposite of Mr Benfield.
His approach is unorthodox and he even has a catch-phrase that he uses once he has them where he wants them (I won’t disclose it and ruin the fun) but by the time Morgan Benfield was finished that jury took only an hour to decide and I truly feel the only reason that it took that long was for the jury to give the pretense to the judge that they were debating amongst themselves. We were done by lunch.
Trust me. This guy is good. Thank you to all my predecessors that left reviews prior to me because without them I may have never sought out his services. Thank you again Mr Benfield for beating my charge!

Leslie did my Estate Plan for me. I had no idea what I needed. She took the time to explain everything, so that I understood and could make decisions that were right for me. She is knowledgeable, and caring towards people. I was anxious at the beginning. I left feeling so much better, and with my Estate Plan done and all in a Beautiful Binder with everything put in there organized. I would recommend Bottimore & Associates to anybody who needs to get an Estate Plan done!

She was the most down to earth easy to talk to attorney I’ve ever met. She wasn’t just an attorney she became a friend. She listened. She never gouged me for ridiculous amounts of money. She walked me through everything and held my hand. Her name says it all. A god damn CHAMPION!!!

He is level headed and good at keeping his clients emotions in check when that is called for. Over the years he has earned my trust 100%.

Long distance is difficult, but Shad worked with us through our attorney here and was knowledgeable and helpful. We were surprised though that the rates were changed in the middle of the case without notification.

Shad handled my case with professional expertise beyond what I expected. He was communicative and clearly more focused on solving my situation than on racking up "billable hours". He was knowledgable, precise and responsive, easily handling every aspect of my case with discretion and aplomb. He met and exceeded my expectations, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I always had confidence in Shad. He was patient in explaining to me all of the options, and the pro's and con's and expenses, upfront. The outcome of the Will dispute exceeded our expectations, and happened quickly and painlessly. I live in another state, and most of our communication was by e-mail.
My nephew changed my brother's Will ten days before my brother died. He claimed it was my brother's wish, but my children and I were certain that my brother did not know what he was signing. My nephew was my brother's Executor, his Trustee, and also a Beneficiary. According to my brother's original Will, written by an attorney, our older brother and I were to each have half of the estate. On the event of our older brother's or my death, our 1/2 was to be divided among our own children. Our older brother had died , so my nephew and his sister were to have 1/2 of my brother's estate, and I was to have the other 1/2. My brother talked about this Will a lot, to many people, because it gave him comfort.
The nephew's last-minute changes left me and my children a few thousand dollars, with the bulk of my brother's estate going to the nephew and his sister. People we talked to said this type of fraud is difficult to prove, because my brother's physical and mental capacities were in question--and we almost gave up. My Son-in Law is an attorney, and he contacted Shad in Washington, for me.
Shad discovered that the new Will had several flaws. (Sorry, I am still fuzzy on the specifics.) My nephew wrote the document as an amendment to my brother's Trust, yet it didn't properly amend the Trust, and it wasn't really a Will, either. This gave us the leverage we needed, and we challenged the Will. My nephew hired an attorney to represent him, and there were about three pairs of offers and counter-offers. In the end, I recovered over half of my share of my brother's estate.
Shad also discovered that, regardless of which Will held, I legally had inherited 1/2 of my brother's share in an oil company. I did not know this, and my nephew as Executor did not tell me this, and he had already wrongfully claimed full ownership for himself in company meetings. I used this 1/2 share in the negotiations. I did not value the oil company as highly as my nephew did, and I was actually glad to let it go.
I received a great deal more money than I had hoped for. The children and I feel good about the settlement, and we are glad we didn't prolong the dispute, by going to court. Thank you, Shad McOmber!

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

Top Questions to Ask a Business Lawyer
Before hiring a business lawyer, ask the following questions during your consultation:

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. -

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:

- 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.
