Mike provided clear guidance and even-handed explanations as I navigated my first trademark filing. He listened well and took the time to understood the purpose of the service being trademarked, which I feel was reflected in the coverages we were ultimately received when the trademark was awarded.
During the process, an inspector at the USPTO raised a minor issue. Mike understood the "why" of the concern, and handled it quickly.
I would absolutely recommend Mike to others, and have continued to use him myself for other IP and contract-related needs.

Mike helped me with a copyright case, and I can't say enough about him. He was a great communicator, and very transparent about work hours and cost. I never felt in the dark as to what he was working on, and what the next steps were. He ultimately helped me settle my case in my favor, and I will hire him again.

You may be thinking, “It’s been easy for me with a conveyancer nearby.” Land and property conveyancing can be very tiring. The conveyancing process involves a lot of work to be done before the conveyance is completed. An appraisal of the land or property you are interested in is a must, and you should always inquire about the feasibility of the process and other prospects if you are looking for long-term solutions.

I’ve recently contacted Emily’s firm on a divorce/separation matter. I didn’t have much expectations contacting her firm but Emily’s effort in helping me was something that I will cherish for a very long time. I walked away from the experience with more knowledge on what options that are now available to me and an immense sense of relief, knowing that my problem is now solvable, all made possible by Emily’s great work ethics, outstanding research skill, and expertise in her fields of practice. Most importantly, she treated me with kindness, patience and utmost respect.

I found Emily Tsai after seeing my wife’s lawyer out class my first 3 lawyers. He was able to take the documented truth and twist it into lies. The first 3 fell prey to sleazy tactics and threats of sanctions. Maybe they were afraid of a lawyer who had a Commissioner working in his law firm. Emily took him on and save me from losing potentially $2 million to the lies and tricks of the other side. She did this by not responding to lies and sleaze with lies and sleaze. She did it using the high road with good legal reasoning, good legal research, and outstanding expert witnesses.
Emily is hard working. To my objection she had me in her office late into the night to prepare for the arbitration hearing. Her husband was very patient and waited hours for her to complete the preparations.
If you have high value assets at risk in your divorce, you need to see Emily. She is well worth her fee.

I worked with Michele on many occasions over the years, and I have great respect for her. She and I were among founders of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, one of NFOIC's many great state affiliates. But when Michele and I first met and had an occasion to collaborate, I was an executive with the Seattle P-I ( Post-Intelligencer) and she was a bright young litigator for the law firm that represented my crosstown rival, The Seattle Times. My respect and admiration for her abilities were strong then, and those perceptions have never waned.

James is professional, compassionate, sharp and really takes the time to understand the issues at hand. He is also knowledgeable and doesn't try to take advantage of his clients. Of the 10 or so attorneys I have spoken with over the last 10 years, James is by far the best.

I am profoundly grateful to Katya and her team at Stelmakh & Associates for their outstanding support and professionalism in assisting me with my EB1A petition.
The team demonstrated strategic and proactive approaches, providing invaluable guidance throughout the process. They took time to always respond to my queries and valued my input at the same time.

Katya and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with on my husband’s immigration petition. After discussing the EB1A process with colleagues, he consulted multiple lawyers, and Katya stood out as the most logical and practical choice. She was incredibly thorough in identifying and emphasizing the strongest aspects of his profile, including his achievements in the tech industry and his time at MIT. Maddalena, was also extremely helpful throughout the process, ensuring everything was well-organized and on track. The EB1A process requires significant effort and patience, but Katya’s meticulous attention to detail and strategic guidance made all the difference. We’re truly grateful for the hard work and support of Katya, Maddalena, and the entire team, and I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone pursuing the EB1A route with a strong case.

I approached Stelmakh & Associates with the challenge of obtaining an O-1A visa, a process known for its complexity and stringent requirements. After researching various law firms, I chose Stelmakh & Associates due to their stellar reputation and extensive experience in handling O-1A cases. Their team meticulously guided me through each step, providing clear instructions and promptly addressing all my concerns. Their expertise and dedication not only led to the approval of my O-1A visa but also significantly impacted my professional journey, allowing me to continue my work in the United States without interruption. I highly recommend Stelmakh & Associates to anyone seeking reliable and proficient immigration legal services.

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.

Jeff has guided us through two purchases of real estate. One dealt with a property that was an purchasing a family property. This required real strategy to work with a family selling the home that was not accustomed to dealing in real estate and worrying about family perceptions of the sale. The other was the sale between family members that required that everyone felt as if everything was completed in the most professional manner. In both cases beyond the exceptional legal advice Jeff also guided us through business strategy that worked very effectively toward completion of the sales. I highly recommend Jeff for real estate transactions.

I reached out to Jeff from a referral from another real estate attorney, and I am glad I did. The initial consultation was informative and straight to the point. He accepted our case and gave us reassurance. It was not your usual family property dispute case, but he and his team researched all possible solutions to help us. He would provide updates on the case and always kept us in the loop. The case finally wrapped up overtime and we are satisfied with the result. He and his attorney, Chrissy Lord told our side of the story with factual evidence which was never brought up in public before. It was an emotional journey, but we were glad we had Jeff and his team there to guide us.
I highly recommend Jeff and his team. They treat your case with care and urgency.

I almost didn’t engage a lawyer after being in a bike/auto accident (I was on the bike). I felt that I should have been more aware while riding and fortunate that my considerable medical bills were being paid by the PIP and my own health insurance. I was advised by some friends that the legal process was nothing but a headache and I would receive little for my trouble. After going it on my own for a short while and being stonewalled directly by the driver’s insurance company even for some small settlement, I decided to hire a lawyer. Scott was recommended to me by a fellow bike rider. He reassured me that I had a fairly good case, represented me successfully on my ‘unreasonable speed’ ticket issued to me at the accident while unconscious on the pavement, then put together a very thorough presentation to the insurance companies of my case. It was settled out of court for the full amounts allowed under the policies.
Scott kept me well informed during the whole process, which contrary to my friend’s advice went very smoothly. I am lucky to have had his assistance and will certainly recommend him to others.

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.

I originally hired Sean because a plumbing company had caused structural damages to floor joists during a renovation and they would not accept responsibility. What happened instead was Sean transferred me to Joe and the lawsuit lasted 2 1/2 years. We ended up going to arbitration and I won all damages but zero lawyers fees.
Incredibly frustrating experience.
I wouldn’t hire nor recommend them.
I regret hiring Sean and Joe.

I worked with Will Reingold, Jr for my divorce, who was recommended to me by a friend. He was friendly and knowledgeable for a process that is painful for most. The guy always works and never seems to miss a beat. He is always on top of it and prioritizes to get things done/executed like you're his only client. He made efforts to resolve more complicated challenges like parental rights of embryos even though it's not his wheelhouse.

Looking for a lawyer isn’t something you want to do. But when I found Stacey & Jacobson, I found something special. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen to me after I got hurt on a barge. I wasn’t able to work the same job and was faced with not being able to work on the water. I didn’t know my rights when the insurance company started calling me. I am thankful that Nigel Stacey, Joe Stacey, Jim Jacobsen, and Alyta Loupe were able to help me. They actually listened to me and understood what my family and I were going through and most of all they were there for us every step of the way. They started work on my case right away and went to trial to fight for me. I can stay in my home and start retraining for a new career. I strongly recommend Stacey & Jacobsen to handle any maritime injury case. I’m grateful for everyone of them.

I experienced a life changing injury aboard a tugboat that ended my career on the water that I had worked so hard for. It took some time for the shock and realization of just how uncertain my future was and I needed professional guidance and counsel. I contacted Nigel Stacey. He was able to tell me right away exactly what my rights are. He also explained the process going forward which seemed incredibly daunting for someone who has never experienced anything in the legal system, but he was with me every step of the way to keep my headspace on course. Nigel and his team were incredible to work with. They were attentive to my thoughts and concerns, communicated thoroughly, and responded in a timely manner to calls and emails. Most importantly, Nigel fought on my behalf. I may not have a future in the maritime industry, however much of the stress of my future has been relieved and I am forever grateful.

Amsale Aberra law PLLC is one of the best law firm in Seattle .
In 2019 I had a very tough immigration case and I hired another law firm and it didn’t go well, I spend more than 3k and finally my case got denied due to the lawyer’s irresponsible action. A few months later a friends of mine suggested to contact Amsale’s law firm. She was very kind, positive , thoughtful and a good listener. She listened the entire issue with the previous law firm, and what surprised me was her focus to resolve the problem instead of nailing down.
After a brief discussion and consultation, I hired her to represent me the same case which I got denied previously.
It took her shorter time comparing with the previous lawyer and successfully won my case. Not only that, through the entire process of my case with Amsale I was getting an update based on the information timeframe of each steps from immigration office.
The best part of her consultation, if she thinks your case doesn’t worse to continue, she doesn’t wanna waste your money! This is how she does business !
I will always refer to Amsale law firm for friend and family because she is trustworthy!

I’ve referred a number of people to the Marshall Defense Firm over the years and, without exception, their feedback concerning the firm’s service has been exceptional. The terms I hear consistently are expert, professional, intelligent, sensitive and caring. Honestly, it’s a combination of traits which I see rarely see in law firms I deal with. What a huge compliment to the firm’s legal and life philosophy.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
