When I hired Tim I was looking a serious charges. He did everything to make sure I understood what was going on with my case at all times and when had any questions or concerns I never had a problem getting ahold of Tim. After a very long year we Ultimately went to trial where Tim was amazing and fought for me to be found not guilty on all charges. Without a doubt the best choice I could have made and I will never forget what he did for me.....THANK YOU TIM!!!

I had the privilege of working with Tim Note as my criminal attorney, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his exceptional legal representation. From the moment I first consulted with Tim, I knew I was in capable hands.
Tim's deep knowledge of criminal law and his dedication to his clients are truly commendable. He left no stone unturned in building a strong defense for my case. His attention to detail, thorough research, and strategic approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.
What sets Tim apart is not just his legal expertise, but also his genuine compassion and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns, address my questions, and provide reassurance throughout a challenging legal process. His clear communication and guidance made me feel empowered and informed every step of the way.
Tim's professionalism and commitment to securing the best possible result for his clients are evident in every aspect of his work. He fought tirelessly on my behalf, and I could not have asked for a more dedicated advocate.
Thanks to Tim Note's legal prowess and unwavering support, my case was resolved successfully. I highly recommend Tim to anyone seeking a top-notch criminal attorney who goes above and beyond for their clients. He is not just an excellent lawyer but also a true advocate for justice.

I appreciate the passion, patience, and prompt attention my particular case received. My attorney, Thomas Jarrard was outstanding; he really showed full dedication towards getting me a quick and positive outcome on my case. He provided me with a sense of confidence after the Global law firm I previously worked at assigned a Partner in an attempt to deny me of my rights under USERRA. Thomas Jerrard is extremely knowledgeable, and reached a resolution, after a single phone call to said Partner at old firm, which ended in my favor and without needing to endure a trial. I would recommend anyone to this law firm and trust Mr. Jerrard and his team can handle any case or situation with total satisfaction.

If you are in the military/veteran having employment issues related to your service aka USERRA law violations then look no further—Thomas is the lawyer for you.
Thomas is in a league of his own. He is talented, hardworking and an exceptional lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, candid, and efficient in his work. Thomas is an expert in USERRA laws, and get results quickly. Thomas immediately provided me with relief that I would receive a just outcome in my case; and outlined all the issues/case laws and claims they would proceed on. I already knew after my first ZOOM call interaction with him that I had secured a winning team.
Thomas wins his cases, because he knows what he’s doing, and how to get it done.
Thomas was responsive and throughout while handling my case. I am grateful for the times I would call him, and he could sense the urgency and anxiousness in my tone; and would immediately start sending out emails to get answers to my questions.
Thomas gave me the confidence I needed that my case would be in good hands as I left for active duty orders — and he exceeded those expectations. Thanks to Thomas I was able to get a resolution beyond my wildest imagination before even returning home!
I am forever grateful and indebted to Thomas for his help. This isn’t Allstate, but you’re definitely in good hands with Thomas. Thank you Thomas not only for your service to this country, but your continued service in representing military service members. You are appreciated.

I have never had a lawyer before of this caliber. I'm a disabled Veteran and had run into so many road blocks. I was referred by another attorney who didn't handle Veterans Disability. Mr Farrell went above and beyond anything I expected. Most know Veterans Disability Benefits can be slow process Mr. Farrell I believe worked diligently on my case. It took some time but I received the compensation he felt was best for me and my situation. I could not be happier with the final results. I will highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of an attorney of his morals, values and ethics. Thank You Tom.

I was very happy with the outcome and would and have highly recommended him!

I was referred to Addams and Leavitt through my church. Michael offered an excellent consultation and worked with me on his hourly rate based on my income. His knowledge and experience ensured a winning outcome for my child custody case. I had many questions for Michael. He didn't have the answer to all of them immediately but he always researched and got back with me with the right information as he promised. I am truly grateful for his professional help and I would definitely recommend Addams and Leavitt to anyone needing honest representation.

Kyme is simply the peoples lawyer. I shopped around looking for help and no one seemed to be able or wanting to help me with my issue in getting my job back at a casino. I explained my issue to Kyme and after some time talking about my issue she was willing to help me. She laid out a plan and guided me on what do. Kyme is patient and understanding. She truly is a lawyer for the people and I would highly recommend her.

I sought counsel from Dominic and I could not be more impressed. He was extraordinarily respectful to all parties, yet exceeded me expectations. I write this as a past client, not an advertiser. My family hired him to handle a DUI case, and he approached it with seasoned expertise. We are more then thrilled with the outcome of our case. I would highly recommend this attorney to a person seeking legal counsel regarding criminal DUI Defense, or anything else you might need help with.

We have retained Mr. Kerley in several cases. In each case, he was able to pinpoint the exact issues and focus on developing a well planned strategy. Mr. Kerley's ability to hone in on the actual matter before the court, his thoughtful strategies and thorough research led to our prevailing in each case. Mr. Kerley's presence and demeanor at trial was firm and deliberate, appropriate for each audience. We are very pleased with Mr. Kerley, and his staff, and feel confident that should the need arise again, he will be our only call.

I have relied on Mr. Kerley's representation since the early 90's. Back then it was for defending large commercial companies in litigation including general liability, auto liability and medical malpractice. Currently Mr. Kerley is retained for defending municipalities primarily in general liability litigation. He is very responsive and well liked among our multiple members who have been represented by him. His knowledge and application of the law is exceptional; and he has the ability to effectively explain the impact of the law to given situations. He has displayed an impressive track record in settling cases when appropriate through negotiations or mediation; and a high rate of success at trial. He is professional, trustworthy and has produced exceptional results.

If your looking for an attorney that will fight for your rights and help you with even the smallest of details concerning your case Tom May is the attorney for you. The insurance company adjuster tried to take advantage of me on every detail and Tom fought for me every step of the way. Without his help I would have recieved very little from the insurance company. He helped not only with getting the money I deserved for my personal injury but he also insured that my car was fixed correctly because the insurance company kept trying to cut corners and tried to not pay for all the repairs that were required. Tom made sure that everything was repaired to my specifications not the insurance companies. He had to fight them just to get my car cleaned and the cost was under $100 but they didn't want to pay it. Thanks Tom for your help. I highly recommend Tom May.

AN AMAZING WOMEN!!! Mrs. Mcbride isn't even my lawyer. My husband retained her years ago to do his bankruptcy and he loved her so I thought I'd ask for her help. I ended up paying $1200 to a company for what I thought was a legit debt from years ago, but after I paid and shock wore off things didn't add up. Because of the Microsoft thing I wasn't able to get any help to see if I was in fact scammed or not. I called Mrs. McBrides office this morning, told her receptionist my ordeal. She did state how busy Mrs. Mcbride was but that she would pass this along. THIS AMAZING WOMEN CALLED ME IN LESS THAN 30 MINTUTES let me explain and looked into and told me YES CANCEL it was a scam. Told me what to do and say to handle it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. she DID NOT have to do that for me, especially because I have never met her. I'll tell you what though, she is without a doubt who I will hire if I ever do need her services. People like this are rare nowadays and I could cry how relieved I am for her help. I've been sick all weekend over this. THANK YOU MA'AM

Why Nick Pontarolo should represent you if you have been injured on the job!
Read this Post to the end and you will clearly see why you need Nick and this Firm!
I'm 65 years old and have worked hard Construction Labor for most of my life until I injured my shoulder at the end of 2018. That is when I opened my first "Workers Comp Claim" and
after many Exams, Tests and Scans, an Orthopedic Surgeon told me that I had "Stage 4 Osteoarthritis" on top of other serious complications that would have caused me to need a Shoulder Replacement in the very near future, especially if I kept working at my trade.
I did not seek any legal counsel at the time and had to go back to work "light duty" in spite of my ongoing condition. I then was immediately reinjured after being taken off of "light duty" in middle of 2019! I saw the "Company's Preferred Doctor" that wouldn't even prescribe pain medication, despite the obvious pain I was in. I decided to call a good friend of mine that is an Employment Attorney in Portland to ask his advice. He told me that he would find me good Attorney in Spokane and through his research he gave me a short list and Nick Pontarolo's name was right on top. I called Nick and he took immediate action and control as he represented and guided me through a maze of "BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE" involving Doctors, Employers, Attorneys, Therapists, Vocational Rehabilitation Councilors and even more.
Because of Nick's connections, I have had one of the premier Shoulder Surgeons in the Country replace my shoulder and some of the best rehabilitation experts throughout the region working with me as well. While all this was going on, I never missed a "Time Loss' compensation check for 4+ years.
I'm now retired, and my claim just closed and without Nick's professional representation and expertise for these last 4+ years, I truly believe that I would have lost everything I've ever worked for my entire life.
Nick,
You treated me like family and did an incredible job and for that I am forever grateful...
Patrick
PS- Also, I want to thank all the Attorney's and Office Staff for the combined team effort and supporting rolls you all played for my well-being and all while I was enjoying the view from the 12th floor of the Chase Bank Building Downtown Spokane.

My husband was heavily medicated as he was under hospice care for stage 4 cancer. I was medicated due to depression. Mr Curran was recommended to us by Spokane Hospice as someone who would come to our house to update my husband's will. I do not believe Mr Curran did his best work for us. My husband was very distraught and agitated, I did my best not to upset him anymore than necessary, and signed off on his will. Unfortunately, even though he asked if I understood what I was signing off on, I still signed, walked away crying and let the witnesses finish up with the lawyer. I understood that the will said everything was going to his children, but I also assumed I could contest the will, as signing was an act of kindness to a dying man, who repeatedly told me not to worry, that I was being taken care of. When Mr Curran left our home, he took my phone with him. It was three days of me looking before he called to say he had it.
When my husband passed away his sisters were the executors of the estate. Imagine my suprise when 5 weeks after his passing, after living in this house for 10 years, I was served with an eviction notice... 3 days to get out, served on me by his sister and written up by none other than Mr Curran. Was he my husband's lawyer or his sister's lawyer? I felt there was some conflict of interest... probably wrong on that point, but still I don't think he took in my husband's mental state, or mine, into consideration. He most certainly did not consider what happened to me afterwards, and Oh My Gosh. He took my phone.

Joe Sicilia reviewed our research foundation contract and he immediately spotted areas that would compromise our objectives. Joe's extensive experience includes billion dollar government contracts, and that wisdom came into play as he performed a successful 180 revision of our grant contract and secured our foundation interests and intellectual ownership beyond expectation. His experience exceeds many, and Spokane is fortunate to house such experience. Thank you Joe Sicilia.

By far the best decision I have ever made. My divorce of 2 years was finalized 3 months after hiring Spencer. His approach, accountability and guidance are unmatched.

Thank you again Joanna & Spencer.

Spencer is very knowledgeable of the law, the judges ruling patterns, and HE CARES about the kids. He’s an aggressive attorney that will fight hard for what is right and he will not be afraid to call his clients out if they are being unreasonable. Spencer took on my case when nobody else would because it was a mess. When watching his first court hearing, I knew within 30 seconds we were going to win. He went in strong, had studied my case thoroughly going back 7 years. He remembered pertinent details and he represented my son in that court room that day. He did an incredible job.
Joanne, his right hand is just as incredible. She remembers details, she’s prompt to respond and overall just above and beyond professional.
I highly recommend this duo for high conflict custody situations. They will handle your case with care, integrity, and exceptional knowledge.

David came off as a strong willed individual that would fight for your case. Unfortunately that was all a ruse. Once hired, the communication was all but non existent, the communication that was received was not explained correctly, and most of the time was left in the dark about my case.
My doctors at the time requested he contact them to look at my case and continue moving forward, not only did he refuse to contact them, he refused to continue communicating all together.
I only heard from him once the case ran its course, and had no case left to fight.
Most negative experience I've had with an attorney. Did not communicate with the clients. Did not communicate with the specialists involved, ruined my case and my health with his behavior. I am still attempting a recovery, years after his involvement.
Would recommend anyone other than this attorney. Seemed to either not know, or not care about you and your situation. Made the justice system seem like a farce.

When we complained and asked for our money back, he claimed he would do the case for only the 5 grand. A year later, he sent paper work to collections going after me for 10 grand. Do not hire this money grabbing liar.

This attorney failed to communicate with clients, failed to provide adequate counsel, and failed to notify client of pertinent court motions and hearings to the point that the case was lost. Then they sent a bill to the client after telling the client there would be no cost until the case was won. Unless you want some one to screw you over in regards to your lawsuit, stay away from this attorney.

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.

- Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.
It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer
When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:
-
What is your experience with government law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation. -
How do you handle interactions with government agencies?

Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
Who will handle my case?
Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.
How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.

- Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
- Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
- Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
