Jamie Polito Johnston was my divorce lawyer who calmly and professionally steered me through it in a demeanor of calm professionalism and at times, needed humor and assurance. I was further aided by the help of her highly capable firm's support staff as well as other people outside of that she could recommend to me. In totality, it was an excellent team effort!
My heartfelt wishes to any and all of you who are going through a divorce. Blessings.

Will Reingold was one of the attorneys who represented me in my divorce. Will’s overall attentiveness to the case and its myriad of deadlines demonstrated a high degree of detail-orientation that was incredibly reassuring during a very difficult period. It was a contentious case in which many motions were filed by both parties, which meant a lot of legal writing had to be done. Will’s writing was unfailingly crisp, concise (while still comprehensive), and persuasive. Through his writing I could tell how seriously he took my case, and how much he cared about the way his rhetoric would put me in a position to achieve a positive outcome. Additionally, the speed with which Will was able to produce incredibly well-written artifacts was equally impressive. If you are looking for someone to do excellent work for you, you will be hard pressed to find a better writer than Will.

The necessary action was taken by Mr. Parnell and my issue was completely resolved.
Exceptional. Thank you!

I only called Parnell defense to get my son to shut up. Never thought it was possible to get firearms right back. My case was harder than most. After a few months I’m out shopping for. Rifle. The guy is a magician! About half the price of others. I’m impressed!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andy Kottkamp and his team at Kottkamp, Yedinak & Esworthy for our estate planning needs, and the experience was nothing short of excellent.
From the outset, Andy and his team exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put my wife and me at ease. They guided us through the entire process with clarity and patience, ensuring we understood each step along the way. What could have been a daunting task turned into a breeze. They were approachable, responsive, and took the time to address all our questions and concerns.
Not only did Andy Kottkamp and his team provide exceptional service, but the pricing for estate planning was also the best in the valley. They offer top-notch expertise without breaking the bank, making their services accessible to a wide range of clients.
I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in need of estate planning services to visit Andy at Kottkamp, Yedinak & Esworthy. You won't be disappointed!

I was recently referred to Woodinville Law by a family member so that I could finally get my 20 yr old estate plan updated. I found their office to be very warm and welcoming by their wonderful receptionist, Andrea with her beautiful smile and offer of refreshment as she would lead me to the conference room for my meeting with Amber Hunt. I felt an instant connection with Amber at our first meeting and just knew she was the going to be the perfect attorney for me. And she did not disappoint. In fact she went above and beyond my wildest expectations. Amber is open, warm and friendly and totally professional at the same time. She answered all my questions (lots), and did an amazing job on my new estate plan. She was prompt and it was so impressively put together, it exceeded my expectations by miles. I also really appreciate the fact that Amber prefers to charge a flat fee for her services, as opposed to the usual hourly rate/by the minute policy many attorney's use. As such I knew exactly what my plan was going to cost right up front and didn't need to worry about it costing more if it became more complicated than anticipated (it didn't). All my phone calls and/or emails were handled promptly and if Amber was otherwise engaged, then her terrific right hand assistant Jacob was immediately all over it. The bottom line, from my experience, is that Amber is not only super smart, very knowledgeable in the estate planning arena, and never made me feel rushed as she patiently answered my umpteen questions, she also made me feel like we were practically best friends. It really felt that comfortable. I tell you, it's really hard to find great customer service these days, but Amber and her team have it in spades. I highly recommend Amber L. Hunt at Woodinville Law for all your estate planning needs and I feel certain she will not disappoint and you will be at least as impressed as I have been.

My husband and I worked with Amber to create an estate plan that was thorough and worked well for us. We actually had an estate/trust done through a previous company that was not done correctly and Amber cleaned everything up for us. She is thoughtful, kind, and a joy to work with. I’m really happy to have her on our team for all things estate related. Highly recommend!

I have posted my review on a few sites. I am a real person. Just sharing the word to my community that Rajeev is the best Attorney I have ever worked with.
Such an amazing Attorney, Attorney Majumdar helped me with a very long drawn out case, not of my doing. He is kind , smart, goes above and beyond to help people in our community, & believes in Justice for his clients. I was very grateful to have found such an amazing Attorney. He helped my case, and I felt safe to be fully open to him and the office staff. I have always remembered the genuine care he took during that stressful season of my life.
During my original case I had another issue come up. I had a false accusation from a rental property I was renting. They wanted to charge me over $2,000 for new carpet for damage. I was Informed during the remodeling I was not to shampoo the carpets as they were being torn out. The photos the real-estate propery took, photo enhanced the color setting and made it look like red stains all over the hallway carpet.
I had my photos I took at move out, and that was not there. He wrote one letter and I never heard from the property ever again about any such damage fees . Most landlords don't expect people to have a personal Attorney. I tell everyone, take photos before move in, and after move out. Also email everything to yourself so the email has a time stamp
to show courts it was not just all typed up the day before court. Document everything.
Attorney Rajeev has been my Attorney since 2012 & he will help me again when needed, "IF" something may come up next in my future. Thank you Rejeev.

I hired Rajeev to vacate 3 misdemeanors. He walked me through every step. He was able to get all 3 misdemeanors scrubed from my record, allowing me to presue a career in health care. Rajeev is professional, respectful and worth every penny. I highly recommend hiring him.

Rajeev did an excellent job in helping me with the sale of my small farm. Real estate agents wanted a substantial percentage of the agreed upon sale price when I had already found a willing buyer on my own. Rajeev handled all the paperwork, including a short term lease to allow me to stay in the home for 2 months after closing giving me time to move out of my home of 60 years. Rajeev save me and the buyer thousands of dollars and everything went smoothly. He was quick to respond to all questions and extremely knowledgeable about real estate issues in Whatcom County. I would highly recommend him for any real estate related matters.

Nelson Boyd Attorneys represented me in a bicycle crash and did an excellent job. They are a caring, professional team, where I got the benefit of them both working on my case together. Each brought their individual strengths to my representation.
As much as a legal intervention is an inherently stressful undertaking, Nelson Boyd made the experience as low-stress as possible. They did this by being good listeners, providing assurances that they were fighting for me, providing prompt and excellent communications, and always doing what they said they would do.
My suit was settled satisfactorily (they worked on contingency) prior to reaching court, which was preferable since it took nearly two years to get to that point-- though not due to any fault of Nelson Boyd. Going to court would likely have taken another six months or longer. My case involved personal injury and I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing this sort of representation -- and probably other issues, as well. At minimum, it will be worth your while to call them to discuss your problem.

Before I contacted the law offices of Tim Billick I felt powerless and very upset after discovering that someone had taken the intellectual property that I worked so hard to create and was selling it online without my permission. To my surprise and disbelief, Mr. Billick had the infringing material removed from the Internet much quicker than I ever imagined was possible. Now I am feeling so relieved! If you're looking for a skilled attorney who will fight tooth and nail to protect your intellectual property rights, Mr. Billick isn't just an attorney you're are looking. Mr. Billick is THE ATTORNEY you're looking for.

I consulted TBillick Law on a complex copyright licensing issue that intersects with trust & estate law. Several IP attorneys passed on advising me due to the complexity, but Tim had relevant experience in both areas and took the time to figure out the best approach. He even did some background research and made calls before I officially signed up as a client and did not charge me for that! He answered all my questions and carefully explained a complex legal situation. I was fortunate to have found Tim to clarify an otherwise convoluted process.

They've helped us at The OpenCRE AI project with the legal mechanics of service and development agreements, and they are instrumental in our current licensing, patent, and technology JV strategies. We highly recommend TBillick Law.

I definitely recommend Mr. Tario to anyone needing representation for personal injury. He was professional and knowledgeable, and helped me win my case. I liked how at ease he was during the whole process from beginning to end. You can tell he's done this many times, and he knows what to expect and what to do next. The only thing that caught me by surprise was the additional fees. He is upfront about his 40% contingency fee and let's you know there is an additional charge for filing fees and whatnot. However the additional fees are 2000.00$ on top of the 40% which is already a little higher than the 33.3% that other lawyers charge. I just wish I would have known that or maybe I overlooked that in the contract.

I'm disabled, limited money, and on the straight & narrow.. trying to live my life free of my previous troubles with WA legal system... When filling out the form for the background check to purchase a legal firearm, I said that I hadn't been in a 'psychiatric' facility as an adult,.. but it turns out I had turned 18 just a few days prior to the psych. Facility!
Julie came to my rescue, was with me and had helped me through this every step of the way...., even now when I got a summons for a review hear after 2 yrs(which she both asked & got the judge and prosecutors approval, stating that if I didn't receive any new charges during the 2yr unsupervised probation, I WOULD NOT have to come back to the Clallam County District Court! I'm disabled, on SSI, I've got severe Social Anxiety & Panic Disorder in public, (Which are all okay, & I'm stable on my meds for the majority of the time, plus my new Service Dog in Training Chattam is a huge help, or he will be but he's in the process of training!)
Julie was & is still doing a great job..., shes very caring and understanding, so when I received a summons, out of the blue -so 2 speak.. yesterday, regarding my case from 2 yrs ago, requesting that I appear for a review hearing,... Even after she had gotten me permission to not have to come back to court if I didn't get in trouble again..., and I contacted Julie immediately, and she is on it .., she said she is going to figure it out for me, and I'm once again so greatly appreciative for her skill, level of care & empathy, and her drive to take care of her clients in the best most beneficial way she can!

Many years ago I came to Sheila at a time when my life was turning upside down, emotionally with a divorce and financially with the subsequent bankruptcy. She was able to calm many of my fears and help me take a deep breath and trust in her experience and caring guidance. Here I am 8 years latter and I was able to reach out once again and she quickly stepped in to lend her help once again. Definitely recommend contacting her!!

I've used Sheila for more than five years, she was recommended to me through a friend who uses her for his technology business.
Sheila is always prepared, professional, punctual, does what she say's she's going to do and has always gone above and beyond for me and my business.
I trust Sheila and know that she has my best interest when it comes to my business and brand.
Not only has Sheila helped with technology issues within my practice, she did extensive work on an intellectual property dispute with a competitor.
Sheila is seasoned, responsible and capable: I can't recommend her enough.

We wouldn't go anywhere else as Sheila was perfect for us!

What a Civil Rights Lawyer Can Do for You
A civil rights lawyer focuses on protecting individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government authorities, employers, or private organizations. These lawyers specialize in cases involving discrimination, police misconduct, freedom of speech, and other fundamental rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws, such as the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Housing Act.
Whether you've been discriminated against due to race, gender, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics, or you believe your civil rights have been violated by a government entity, a civil rights lawyer can help you seek justice, hold wrongdoers accountable, and secure compensation for any harm you've suffered.
When Should I Hire a Civil Rights Lawyer?
You should hire a civil rights lawyer when your constitutional rights or other protected rights have been violated, and you need legal assistance to seek justice. Some key situations in which you may need a civil rights lawyer include:
- Employment discrimination: If you have faced discrimination at work based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability, a civil rights lawyer can help you file claims under laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Police misconduct or brutality: If you were the victim of police brutality, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, or other forms of misconduct, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit for violations of your Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
- Freedom of speech or assembly violations: If your First Amendment rights to free speech or peaceful assembly have been restricted by the government, a civil rights lawyer can represent you in challenging the violation.
- Housing discrimination: If you’ve been denied housing or faced unfair treatment due to your race, ethnicity, gender, or disability, a lawyer can help you file a complaint under the Fair Housing Act.
- Voter rights violations: If you believe your right to vote has been unfairly suppressed or you’ve faced discrimination in the voting process, a civil rights lawyer can help you fight for your rights.
- Disability rights violations: If you’ve faced discrimination in accessing public spaces, employment, or services due to a disability, a lawyer can help enforce your rights under the ADA.
- LGBTQ+ rights violations: If you've experienced discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, or public services, a civil rights lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.
Hiring a lawyer early on can help you understand your legal options and build a strong case to protect your rights.
What Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Do?
A civil rights lawyer provides legal representation and advocacy to individuals whose rights have been violated. Their work can include:
- Filing lawsuits: A civil rights lawyer can represent you in court by filing lawsuits against individuals, businesses, or government entities that violated your rights.
- Advocating for policy changes: Civil rights lawyers often engage in advocacy work, pushing for reforms to laws and policies that infringe upon people's rights.
- Representing clients in discrimination claims: These lawyers help clients file claims with federal or state agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
- Negotiating settlements: In many cases, civil rights lawyers work to negotiate settlements for their clients before a case goes to trial, securing compensation for damages such as lost wages, emotional distress, or legal fees.
- Defending freedom of expression: Lawyers may represent clients whose rights to free speech, assembly, or protest were violated by government restrictions or other actions.
- Handling appeals: If your civil rights case has been decided but you wish to appeal the ruling, a civil rights lawyer can help you through the appeals process.
How Are Civil Rights Lawyers Paid?
Civil rights lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Contingency fee: Many civil rights lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win your case. Their fee is typically a percentage (usually 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
- Hourly rate: For cases that require extensive legal research or litigation, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Pro bono or sliding scale: Some civil rights lawyers or organizations may work on a pro bono (free) basis or use a sliding fee scale for clients who cannot afford typical legal fees.
- Flat fee: In specific cases, a lawyer may charge a flat fee for services like drafting legal documents or filing a complaint.
It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a civil rights lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal issue. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee cases: For cases taken on a contingency basis, the lawyer’s fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or judgment awarded.
- Hourly rates: Many civil rights lawyers charge hourly rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For straightforward legal tasks, such as filing a complaint with a government agency or drafting legal documents, flat fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Pro bono work: Some civil rights lawyers or nonprofit organizations provide free legal representation in certain cases involving important constitutional or civil rights issues.
Be sure to ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
Top Questions to Ask a Civil Rights Lawyer
Before hiring a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with civil rights cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s employment discrimination, police misconduct, or First Amendment violations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your case, including the strengths, weaknesses, and potential outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While exact timelines can vary, ask for an estimate of how long your case may take, from filing to resolution. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may work on parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will handle your legal matter directly.
How to Check the Credibility of a Civil Rights Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable civil rights lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific civil rights experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in civil rights law and have a history of handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience with civil rights cases.
- Check for advocacy or nonprofit work: Lawyers involved with civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU or NAACP Legal Defense Fund, may have a strong reputation in the civil rights legal community.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A detailed account of the violation: Provide a written summary of the events, including dates, times, and any people involved in the violation of your rights.
- Documentation and evidence: Bring any supporting documentation, such as emails, letters, photos, or video footage that may help prove the violation of your rights.
- Records of complaints or reports: If you’ve filed complaints with a government agency or reported the violation, bring copies of those documents.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes of your case.
- Information on damages or harm: Be prepared to discuss the harm you’ve suffered due to the violation, such as emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
