Almost a year ago I found my business in a position that threatened our financial viability due to the actions of a third party. I began the search for a new business lawyer and interviewed half a dozen firms without feeling as though they would be the right fit. Two minutes into my conversation with David Betz, I knew he was the perfect lawyer to represent our interests. Since then, Mr. Betz has become an integral part of our business operations. Not only was he successful in negotiating the original matter we brought him on for, but he has remained a close legal advisor and wealth of knowledge and advice. Mr. Betz communicates thoroughly, acts promptly, and approaches all matters with professionalism and expertise.

Was referred to this firm by multiple people/ lawyers. I shouldn't have even wasted my time. Got more of a story about how they sympathize for my situation but basically because I'm a federal employee I'm not entitled to the same rights of protection as the general public, according to them. This is even with a judgment from the county court in my favor in regards to the matter. They just simply couldn't help with the employment matter. I suggest looking elsewhere for legal help.

I was going through a tough time in my life when everything looked like a lost cause. Then, my family found Defense Attorney: Chris Black. At our first meeting, Mr. Black gave me hope. With him on our side, we felt assured that our case would be handled swiftly and smoothly.
He kept us updated and was always available to answer our calls and emails promptly. Mr. Black went above and beyond—efficient, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend Chris Black’s legal services to anyone in need.
As a unique case, I have truly never met a lawyer like Mr. Black. He keeps it real and is a genuine advocate for his clients.
Thank you, Chris, for your solid support and for being such a positive force during that difficult time.

These folks are just great! I urgently needed to understand my rights. A lawyer friend recommended Macdonald Hoague & Bayless, and I will always call them first. Jesse Wing, Adarsh N. Parthasarathy, and their team were warm, empathetic, generous, friendly, efficient, and extremely competent. I honestly couldn't have asked for better legal advice and support! Working with them solved my issues and empowered me with strategies to advocate for myself! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for legal representation.

“Jeff is truly one of the best attorneys out there! I was dealing with a stressful situation where a travel agent failed to issue my tickets after I had already paid. Time was running out, and I thought the whole trip would fall apart. Jeff stepped in with incredible professionalism and skill. He quickly assessed the situation, communicated effectively with the travel agent, and took all the necessary steps to ensure I got my tickets on time. His attention to detail, persistence, and calm demeanor throughout the process were outstanding. Thanks to Jeff, the issue was fully resolved, and my trip went ahead as planned. I couldn’t be more grateful for his help. If you need someone who truly fights for you, Jeff is the attorney to call!”

Jeff and his team were nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we reached out, they provided clear guidance, exceptional professionalism, and unwavering support. Jeff’s expertise and thoughtful approach reassured us throughout the process, and his leadership truly stood out. A special shoutout to Jananson, whose meticulous hard work and perfectly crafted demand letter played a crucial role in overturning our insurance denial.
Their dedication and attention to detail made all the difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their efforts. If you’re looking for a team that delivers results with compassion and excellence, look no further than Jeff’s team. Highly recommended!

They put you through an inital intake process which is positive. I wanted a quick end to my divorce and was happy to compromise to make it happen. Our goals seemed to align.
Unfortunately this firm provided poor council during the first phone call with the attorney. Luckily this did not lead to a financial move that would have put me in violation of a court order. Later the attorney wanted me to provide documentary evidence he had previously advised against in an aparent 180. Such documentation was previously claimed to put me in legal liability. What can I believe?
Very disappointing.
Divorce is tough enough. I hired an attorney becuase I am no legal expert and I wanted a quick, mediated end to my marriage. Instead I get bad and changing advice. Plenty of good reviews of these guys. Hope I'm an outlier.

Truce Law is the law firm you want to hire when you want a stress free and wonderful experience. All of the attorneys seem to truly care about their clients and the whole legal team is professional, communicative, and knowledgeable. Melodi and Dianna are the best duo you could ask for. They helped me tremendously and they are not only wonderful at their jobs, but also wonderful humans in general with big hearts. If you need legal help, this is the place to get it!

I cannot recommend Truce Law highly enough! From the moment I reached out, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. Dianna, Melodi and Giselle were incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and kept me informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome was truly impressive.
What stood out most was their ability to explain things to me in a way that was easy to understand, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. They were friendly, responsive, and always made me feel like a priority.
Thanks to Dianna and her amazing team I was able to resolve things efficiently and with a positive outcome. I would highly recommend Truce Law to anyone in need of skilled and trustworthy legal representation.

I contacted Zuanich Law about 22 months ago to get my gun rights back. We covered all the pertinent information they needed to start the case. I paid the retainer and left them to do what they needed to do without my interruptions. After several months I hadn’t heard anything, I was worried so I contacted them to see what the progress was. They filed a motion in my county, it was review and denied as there was a law change prior to their filing. Brian Zuanich talked to me in depth about refiling in Pierce County as that is where my initial felony was signed. Again I left them alone to file the motions and hoping this would happen. Again several months later, I was thinking this was a lost cause then I received an email from their office telling me that the Courts signed the motion to restore the right to own and possess a firearm in Washington State. Yeah!! I was really surprised and happy. It took longer than I thought it would but they stayed the course. There were other options I could have taken if this motion was denied as well but Brian Zuanich knew what he needed to do and how to move forward. That’s the important thing with you hire an attorney, make sure they know the system for the type of law you need to have help with. Yes, I am very satisfied with their office and will recommend them everytime!

Mister Brian Zuanich and his paralegal Kristy were an integral part of my civil rights restoration. Without sharing too many personal details of my case, I can say I had a rather unique complication with my process involving a move between Washington and Oregon that the Zuanich team were able to help me navigate and understand. Legalities between states and documents from one state to another are not always equal. For myself, and most others I'd wager, these are complicated matters and were something that I personally wasn't too knowledgeable of.
The Zuanich law team, however, clearly laid out what options I could take and, after choosing what to do, along the way ensured to keep me informed and give me a clear understanding of what needed to be done, as well as what parts I could do to make things smoother in the process. Their know-how in what needed to be done got the matter resolved. I would recommend their services to anyone attempting to restore their civil / firearm rights in Washington or Oregon.

Waited for over a week for someone to get back to me, had to call several times and left messages, I used them about a year ago and things went very well. Not anymore. They couldn't find any records of my case, not helpful at all. Not sure what happened with them but I waisted a week for nothing, now looking for a different law firm.

I had the honor of working with Linnea for an unemployment appeal & employment discrimination case. We successfully won the former against a major tech company, and although the latter is still in the air, I’m delighted in how understanding and adept Linnea was in handling the complex issue. Seth made me feel validated in my concerns of wanting safety at work. My only regret is not contacting them while I was still employed.

I can’t thank Amanda, Aaron, and Laura enough for having my back with my case. Aaron’s deep knowledge of employment law was a game-changer—I genuinely felt protected from further harassment while we awaited mediation, thanks to him. Amanda and Laura were always there with support and understanding, helping me stay focused and keeping things moving forward.
Their dedication and the representation from Rocke Law led to a successful EEOC mediation, which made a huge difference for me. Most importantly, they treated me with empathy and respect every step of the way.

If you want a team of attorneys that is going to take care of you, fight for you, handle the massive amounts of paperwork, phone calls, appointments, payments etc. etc. I highly recommend GLP attorneys. I was in a motorcycle accident that was not my fault and was immediately nickel and dimed by the at fault parties insurance. I got in touch with Cydney and her team and they got after it for me. Case closed in less then a year, exceeding payout expectation. I cannot recommend them enough.

I was immensely grateful to have Shannon Polley represent a loved one who was at risk of 2+ years, minimum, of prison for unlawful possession of a firearm. She advocated for his truth with unwavering dedication, a wealth of knowledge, and genuine warmth. Her composure and sharp intellect instilled a deep sense of confidence and trust from beginning to end. Shannon possesses the unique ability to connect with clients on a personal level, making you feel supported, respected and truly heard throughout the entire process. Her ability to adapt and act with precision amidst trial gave us the peace of mind we needed during an extremely stressful experience. I recommend her with high regards if you are looking for a defense lawyer who will go above and beyond, she is a relentless advocate for her clients and was an absolutely powerful force in the court room.

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.

- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.

It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.
