They started off great now can't get a call return or even a reply to my email yet last month they went ahead and charged my card without letting me know... After I was told that they never save the card information so she either lied to me or had the time to go through my emails and pick out my information again but not to reply to me

I have retained Tom for the better part of 2 decades. I've referred dozens of clients and friends all with positive reviews about him. He is as solid as the come. He does not item his mouth for no reason. If you want to win your case hire him.

Mr. Balerud was very helpful to me in an extremely difficult situation. I had been arrested for DUI, and since I had only ever gotten one speeding almost 20 years ago, I didn't know what to do! He met with me for a free one hour consultation, and discussed everything (to the last detail) that happened that day. He really listened to me, even taking notes, then went over all my options from best case scenario to worst. He was quick to meet me for my first court appearance, so I really felt like I wasn't alone, I had someone on my side. It can be a scary experience if you haven't been there before! Tom walked me through what to expect at each court appearance, advised me what I needed to do legally to fulfill court requirements, and helped me locate the assessment centers, and where to take my required classes. He was a great support, even offering words of encouragement as I cried! He was able to get my DUI charge changed to negligent driving, and I was able to save my self-respect and my job. If someone needs an attorney that is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and respectful I highly recommend Thomas Balerud. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family!

I had asked Alex to prepare a number of contracts and forms for my Branding Agency http://onlinemarijuanadesign.com
He completed them promptly and stayed in constant communication with us. Even after the contracts were completed, I had a few revisions to them which he made the following day without charge. He did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone!

I hired Alex to represent me on a small auto accident. I was rear-ended and the other party denied liability.
Alex kept in contact and seemed to be moving the case forward for a few weeks, but suddenly dropped off the face of the Earth. I attempted to contact him for several weeks to no avail. His phone was disconnected, he didn't respond to emails, or messages sent on social networking sites. He gave no indication that he was dropping me as a client and I had to hire a new attorney to finish the case.
I don't know if Alex was experiencing personal problems but he did not give me the courtesy of letting me know why he stopped working on my case or communicating. I feel poorly treated and misled.
My hope is he figures out if he wants to be an attorney before taking new clients in the future and then delivers the performance he seems capable of. He nearly cost me my settlement by missing deadlines and under-performing. It's a little sad because he seemed quite capable and was recommended by an acquaintance who assured me he was a straight-shooter and hard-working.

Alex Ferguson helped with my car accident case. He kept me informed along the process and always showed willingness to answer all my questions, but most importantly, he made it clear for my safety and well-being to be the number one priority for me to concentrate on. While he handled the difficult tasks involved with car accidents, I was able to focus on my treatment and two years later closed with a settlement that took care of all costs related to the accident. Thank you Alex for your commitment to my case.

Do not trust Stuart Morgan or his wife with any of your finances, they took advantage of my grandmother's money and left her with nothing.

Stu Morgan and his team helped my 90 year old parent get out from underneath some heavy handed siblings. Stu is by far the most talented, fair and sincere attorney I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He is a powerful force when needed yet is equally comfortable slowing down to understand the needs (and worries) of an elderly client.
Billings were fair, results were above expectations and the total cost felt reasonable. I’m very glad he was on our side! I would hire him again in a second.

One day we woke up and began a nice Saturday when there was a knock on our door and we were served. I can now say that we're free of that situation and owe it all to Stu and staff. If you find yourself in need of fair and quality representation call Selby Morgan & Born, PLLC. Stu was easy to talk to and we were able to easily follow along with the conversation. I could tell he knew how important the situation was for us and I think he gets it for his other clients as well. Thank you Stu! Thank you Amy!

We are contemplating a move back to Washington state where we lived for many years. Without proper estate planning we would potentially be subject to the Washington estate tax. n our initial contacts with the firm, we clearly identified that we were residents in another state. We were instructed to provide our detailed financial picture as well as our current estate planning documents which we provided promptly and told that our information would be forwarded to the attorneys for evaluation. The following is the email response.
“Thank you for filling out and returning your Questionnaire.
I will forward your information to our attorneys for review. Once they have completed their review, I will be back in touch with you regarding a quote for services and the next steps for scheduling.”
Well over a month went by with no word back from STIB. I finally contacted them by email requesting a status update. Within minutes, I received the following reply.
“Thank you very much for contacting our firm. Unfortunately, we are not able to take on your case. Our firm does not advise out-of-state residents on tax issues. Our focus is estate planning and long term care planning.”
The STIB website clearly tax issues as part of estate planning. I also found no restrictions on attorneys in Washington state providing consultation to out-of-state residents considering residency in Washington.
Needless to say, I was astounded by what I consider to extremely poor communication and timely follow-up. If it is indeed not their policy to advise out-of-state residents on tax issues, I would have expected to have been informed of that policy up front thus saving us the time of compiling and sending detailed and confidential financial and estate planning information. In my opinion, this represents incompetent and totally unprofessional behavior.

I had an accident that caused injury; Tien was a wonderful lawyer that made sure that I was protected and helped me get the settlement that I needed so that I can take care of my well being. It's definitely important to have a smart and professional lawyer to be on your side but what stood out was the care that he had for me and my health. He followed up to make sure that I had the medical care that I needed and treated me as if I was family. There is nothing more then I can say besides he a great person and I see him more then just my lawyer!

Had Tien help me with what I believed to be a fairly complicated case. His advice and expertise lead me to settle the case for a very fair amount that I don't believe I could have gotten otherwise. Dealing with big insurance companies can be daunting, and you really need to know what you're doing to not get taken advantaged of and get the best outcome. I could tell Tien was experienced and knew exactly how to proceed at every step.

When it comes to med mal attorneys, Dave is as knowledgeable and trustworthy as they come. He is not afraid to take on challenging cases and has tons of trial experience. He prices is contingency fees fairly and he is helpful to younger personal injury plaintiff attorneys who want to learn the trade, as evidenced by the Forensics course he co-taught at Seattle U School of Law. The day he retires will be a very sad day, indeed.

Dallas, Erek and his team were excellent. I had a case that was a misdemeanor and they had it reduced to a simple traffic infraction. That's almost unheard of. In fact, it saved my career. I believe 1% of cases like mine reach a Neg 2, so this is a huge win. If you're looking for a team of exceptional attorneys then Cooney Law is going to be your best option.

Some of the most deceitful and dishonest and anti-God Liberal attornies I have ever met. Who represent everything that is wrong with America. Completely lied in court, allowed their clients to give false testimonies repeatedly against a good Christian Father and real honorable man. If you are Republican or Christian or Jewish or Muslim or Buddhist… keep on shopping, they honor very few of the 10 Commandments or Precepts.
Interesting that you think you won something. So to represent liars and perjurers, and help to take away the opposing party’s children, and their gun rights… that’s you winning Cooney? You have “won” something? What is it? Maybe you win a one-way ticket to Hell for intentionally hurting a Man of faith who works for Jesus Christ. Looks like, you didn’t win ALL the cases. 😆
(3) of your trolls couldn’t put Humpty dumpty back together… You have law degrees? I hope she did not pay you for this? She never will now. I would’ve fired you yesterday for sure. She admitted to committing a felony gun violation in her written Testimony and FOUR of you didn’t see that! 😂👌🏼 Oh yah, good work Cooney!
Was that last attorney driving down the road while he represented her in court?! Zoom is so cool right? That was crazy. Taking a Court Zoom Call while driving, super professional. I am sure he represented her to the best of his ability. LMfAO 🤣

This office deserves all 5 stars, if not more. If there is a problem that you need solved in court, the amount of knowledge about litigation and the next steps of law and what to come is never an issue with this office. They take action and make everything look easy. I would personally like to leave a 5 star for attorney Meagan Bennett and her paralegal. very knowledgeable and a great team. THANK YOU!

Leslie Gilbertson and team are stars! Thank you for taking this case on and steering it in the direction you did.

Dropped a huge retainer and we have not had a single filing completed in time for my family’s case with Leslie Gilberston specifically. Communication is massively lacking. I’m charged for every time I email or call for an update that I don’t get. Be wary when they say they have the capacity for your case and expect to be your own advocate with the courts if you choose this firm, especially if it is family law.

Cindy Hanson is a very good escrow agent. There had been alot of problems on the sale of my home on buyers side. Took extra month to close and it wouldn't have closed if not for her. She's on top of everything letting me know what the next problem was. The agents weren't very good, but she handled them like a professional.
I was in the escrow and title business for 30 years and really appreciate that someone knows what they are doing and following through, but doesn't say what they think you want to hear but is really going on.
Thanks Cindy, your the best.

I used to work for Rick's partners, and felt that he was pretty competent and trustworthy. However, Rick has not acknowledged my email in any way. I realize that there may be some kind of a problem with this service rather than an intentional failure to respond. Just ignoring a contact would not be professional in my opinion, So, my vote is still out due to lack of information but I will put up an overall rating since this service requires it. Hopefully there is an explanation.

Do not hire this attorney, I paid her for a chapter 7.!!!! The communication was terrible. I started this in 2019 and paid her off in 2020, I understand it was COVID times, but Jenny lacked communication FOR MONTHS ON END. Never returned calls or emails. The day before my meeting with the creditors, she calls in the evening to go over stuff. She failed to file my re affirmations on the loans I re affirmed. I would not recommend her to anyone.

I highly recommend Jennie Patton. She is a brilliant attorney who helped us get our lives back on track. We had such a complicated financial situation that it was questionable as to whether we could even qualify to file Chapter 13-but Jennie found a way. She worked tirelessly for us- often late into the night prior to a hearing to ensure that she was well prepared for court. She is well connected and respected, and has many helpful professional contacts to call upon when the need arises. Jennie is personable and easy to talk with, while always professional. Our calls and emails were answered quickly and she was always on time for appointments. Thanks to Jennie's excellent legal work and keeping us on track to complete our Chapter 13 successfully, we now have an excellent credit rating. Our finances have never been better, and we owe our success to Jennie.

My daughter hired Ms. Truitt to represent her in a divorce, custody battle and to oppose a relocation, Deb was highly recommended by a few people. My daughter was in a same sex marriage and she was not the biological mother, her spouse wanted to take the twins and relocate across the country. Deb, her team and her paralegal Rosemary were very professional, caring, compassionate, they give it 500% and they make u feel like your family. We went to trail and Deb was AMAZING!! Long story short she won the case for us!! I highly recommend her!! And if the need arises I will surely with no doubt hire her.

I hired Deb Truitt to represent me for my divorce and custody battle. No one ever gets married expecting to get divorced or wanting to hire lawyers, but if it gets to that point I recommend hiring Deb first! It was a tough process to go through, but I 100% always felt that Deb had my best interests in mind. She’s easy to talk to and her paralegal, Rosie, was amazing. For being such a difficult life changing event I was more than satisfied with how she handled my case. Deb was on fire in the court room and is truly the best in my opinion and from my experience. I hope I never have another need for a lawyer again in my lifetime, but if for whatever reason I do, then without a shadow of a doubt I’m running straight to Deb Truitt!

I was assigned Ms.Wagar by the courts as a court appointed attorney. Ms.Wagar was unreachable by phone and when I tried to make an appointment to meet with her, I was not allowed to do so. I had 4 court dates, each was continued to 3-4 weeks out. Ms. Wagar not one time consulted with me or even spoke to me other than inside the courtroom. No attempt to obtain my story or ask my wishes for the case. The final straw was a court date that I arrived for to find she forgot I was on the docket and didn't bring my file. After a very public discussion at the bar of the courtroom during open court, I was promised the ability to make an appointment. My first and only meeting with Ms. Wagar outside of the courtroom was very unprofessional. She was rude, disrespectful and argumentative. Luckily her law partner intervened decided there was a conflict of interest and asked the courts to be removed as counsel.

Awful, horrible and never again! I was in a bad accident in 2018, the insurance company wanted releases signed within 13 hours. I knew something was right so I contacted Bernard Law Group. I should have done better research and more calling around. 2 years of treatment came to a referral for a procedure my insurance doesn't cover, doesn't even consider it it's just flat excluded from the policy. 2 years of what I am now realizing was just lies and passing blame to the other side. 2 months later and I am still waiting and being fed more lies. Viivi Vanderslice is incompeten, doesn't listen to you and just does whatever she feels is best for you without discussing or considering your wants or needs. If I could get the fee they collected for themselves I would, they don't deserve even half of what they got.

1) Drivers in Washington do not receive points on their license because Washington does not use a points-based system. Rather, drivers in Washington can have their license suspended for violations like DUIs, lapses in insurance coverage, or 3 serious offenses in 5 year
2)This does not change the offense from a moving violation to a non moving so my insurance is still taking the same hit
3) after speaking with my insurance agent he tells me that the difference in tickets will actually save me $0 on my coverage
This deal was made more so to behoove your firm than it was made so on behalf of me (your client). Please consider giving me some sort of reimbursement for this. I think we can all agree that this isnt what happens in most contested hearing situations.

My lawyer's approach to my speeding ticket felt like a joke. Instead of providing proper representation, she took an easier route by converting it into a non-moving violation using a fabricated offense. This decision resulted in much higher fines. What's worse, she didn't contest it to lower the penalty, leaving me paying around five times more than the original fine including lawyer fees of $250.
The lack of communication was frustrating—I wasn't informed about this strategy at all. Had I known, I would've strongly objected. It's clear this move was intentionally aimed at avoiding fee refunds due to the website's (through which I hired here) money-back guarantee. Instead of giving proper representation they settle for such things and call it a SUCCESS!
Opting to pay the original fine of $70 could've led to my insurance forgiving the violation, saving me over $500. Overall, this experience was disappointing and lacked the professionalism I expected.

I received a speeding ticket in a neighboring county. This was my first ticket and I was unsure about what to do. After giving Anna my ticket as well as my contact information, I didn't have to worry about it anymore. Once they got to the resolution point, they reached out to me and explained everything. They explained that a dismissal was not an option because the police report for my case was airtight, but that they would be able to amend my ticket to a non-moving violation instead of a speeding ticket. This ensured that my insurance did not go up which is exactly what I was hoping for. I have recommended them to everyone I know, and they have all been happy with their results as well.

Absolutely not! If Mr Martonick represents you as a Public Defender, be on your toes. He is sloppy and ill prepared. He cancels meetings and never takes phone calls. If you are being tried in Whitman County then get a different lawyer. He will agree with everything the PA says at the same time say he is representing you. He follows the rules of the bar association but that's it. He can't be disbarred for being a sloppy lawyer so he can't be reproached. I have a new lawyer who is now focusing on his past performance as a public defender. She will be highlighting his sloppy performance during the appeal. And it's all in the transcripts.

Happily, the complaint against my wife made to the Department of Health, Medical Quality Assurance Commission was dismissed with a finding that she had acted entirely within the standard of care for her practice area. She, of course, knew it the whole time, but proving something is different than just knowing it. Levi helped us prove it. Thank you, Attorney Levi Larson!

He didn't give me updates all the time, but though I had some anxiety a few times because I wasn't sure what was going on. But Daniel was on it. It's probably best to just put it in his hands and let him take care of it.
I'm happy with the result!

Basically if he would have known the law better, he would have never charged me the extra 500 dollars for a service that was impossible to complete based on my circumstances.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
