But there's some county volunteer legal aid services extended not for employment to my representatives advising them could keep my case while working for them full-time as a they senior attorney over there program. He knew the facts to be different and just the defendant dshs say and present what they wanted he avoided my calls and even included causes of action in my JR w/Supreme Court without my knowledge and with knowledge i did not want that he wouldn't remove himself from my case and he wouldn't take the action I told him . Then quit after being used my is buddies because he felt they were now discriminating against him. He was promised control of the program in some way and did not get it.

Ms. Morado was absolutely invaluable in helping me navigate a bewildering publishing/art/licensing/permissions debacle in which I was utterly in-over-my-head. What seemed insurmountably complex to me was long-familiar legal territory for her. She lucidly explained to me the process along the way; she was a fastidiously professional steward of time-tracking and invoicing; she graciously interfaced on my behalf with a rather stressful third party; and, in the end, she navigated myself and the other party to a clean, fair, mutually agreeable conclusion. I couldn't be more pleased, and can recommend her services categorically.

This attorney build his practice off my family pain . He had an ad on Craigslist.org doing pleadings for 250-300 each I used his services and reluctantly hired him for my appeal he was all I could afford , I did not know at some point later he decided to revive his legal career rather that mortgage lending foreclosures he decides to practice in family law child support and Title II ligation in the jurisdiction that I had him draft 2 law suits against officers of the court 2 lawsuits against DSHS and OAH . My trial judge was moved in rotation to family court and he followed him over there wait it gets better , he was suddenly referred by someone for a (.hmm I wonder who that was ...) senior attorney position at the local legal aid program were guess what My trial judge is the judicial liaison and 3 assistant attorney generals sit on his employers board ....he says no conflict of interest but he failed to tell me this I discovered it days ago . he was fired 6 weeks ago and refuses to submit his withdrawal from my cases and the supreme court is pending review , of matters that he has pretended to ligate and told me on April 7, 2023 he is going to loss on all cause of action less the attorney fees from the PRA claim which by the way he will split with me . This is the 3 time I have experienced a lawyer violate their duties to me and nothing is ever done about it hope your not poor because if you are there is no help for you . This is a business for them they care nothing about their harm to families they only care about themselves. Its the most despicable situation I have experienced .

I called for a consultation on a very time-sensitive issue. Being busy for a very small law firm is understandable and I received many apologies. However, it took a month to receive a simple no, we are too busy, and it was unclear whether an attorney ever reviewed my information. Seemed disorganized and I felt disregarded and lost valuable time and recourse.

When my husband was seriously injured on private property, we thought that the owner’s insurance company would work with us to fairly handle the injuries. We were wrong and quickly realized that we would need to hire an attorney to help. We hired Michael Sprangers and Mark Johnson to represent us. From the day we hired them, a huge burden was lifted from our shoulders. They guided us through the entire process, so we could focus on getting better and our lives (and not a lawsuit). We can’t thank them enough.

Michael Sprangers represented me in a legal malpractice lawsuit. The attorney my husband and I had hired to help us with our wills and estate planning had, unbeknownst to us prior to my husband’s passing, created a real disaster. This resulted in a lawsuit between family members and was the absolute worst-case scenario I or anyone else wanted to go through, especially while dealing with my husband’s passing. I hired Michael to pursue a legal malpractice lawsuit against my previous estate attorney. Michael was so great. From the beginning he made the process understandable, and I always felt I was in great hands. Michael was always prepared, professional, and I cannot thank him enough for handling my case. I highly recommend him.

Jay Krulewitch in my opinion is an exceptional Attorney. I was referred to Jay by a friend who was represented by Jay in a major Civil Case in which the outcome was highly successful.
Not only has he handled my case expeditely and professionally, but another family member has been represented by him and been handled in a similar consistent manner as well. Jay is very thorough in his investigation and research techniques, always taking into consideration of the cost effectiveness, I found Jay to work with and practice the highest standards of efficiency and ethics, yielding the highest settlement and positive outcome.
I have reccomended my friends and associates to Jay Krulewitch in highest confidence.
Some comments:
> Knowledgable in Multidiciplines, no rock is left unturned!

Jay Krulewitch is an outstanding attorney. He has represented me three times. Mr. Krulewitch has handled two criminal defense cases and one case involving a late family member’s injury from an auto accident. All three legal matters were difficult and complicated. The two criminal defense cases were part of domestic disputes and required a great deal of careful attention. Mr. Krulewitch interacted with the parties involved in a professional and sensitive manner. In one instance, Mr. Krulewitch needed to be in contact with my family law attorney and communicated well whenever coordination was necessary. His interaction with law enforcement and the court demonstrated that he is highly skilled. All cases were handled efficiently, effectively and brought to a completely satisfactory conclusion. He has done the best possible job each time I have hired him. It is evident that Mr. Krulewitch cares genuinely about his client’s welfare.

This attorney left me with the impression he was either taking on too heavy a case load or he was not terribly good with time management. He always seemed distracted and unorganized. Meetings at his office frequently seemed like he needed a refresher about the case from day one (on the clock of course) My case dragged when it might have gone much faster. Events related to the case also happened and further complicated the matter and necessitated still further legal expense to address them. Had the case been handled efficiently it might have gone to court swiftly before these complications had time to occur. After I ran up a hefty bill (in my estimation largely due to his inefficiencies) he declared he would not even file my case until the bill had been substantially paid to date. In fairness, he may be well intentioned but don't expect too much bang for your buck.

took over 3 years after contact with him to get bicycle accident resolved. it was not until it was time that you could file against the person who injured you before he took action. then he always wanted to go to court. had to get an arbitrator to settle the case for us. other wise he was okay, as can not compare to other lawyers as never had to use one.

Harvey Grad is an excellent lawyer who showed me he truly cares for his clients by going the extra mile to help me resolve my personal injury case that had become quite overwhelming to me while I was dealing with recovering from severe injuries. Mr. Grad and his staff were very helpful in explaining the process and helping me reach an optimal outcome. He even provided me with a much needed pep talk reminding me that we were pursuing the case to recover damages from the defendant who's negligence took so much away from my life. While I would never wish anything like I went through on anyone else, I would highly recommend Harvey Grad to anyone who has been wrongly injured due to someone else's poor decisions.

Bill Marler is an intelligent, compassionate, trustworthy and humble human being. He also happens to be a brilliant lawyer and educator as well. I recommend him without any reservation knowing he will treat everyone with respect and dignity. Bill and his team will fight for justice for each client every step of the way.
Bill changed my life for the better because he took my case at the 11th hour before the Statute of Limitations ran out and he expressed genuine concern for the ordeal I had experienced as if I was a member of his family. Talking with Bill was effortless. He asked all the right questions and had the perfect words to put me at ease. He is a great listener and I felt reassured and comforted knowing I had been heard. In addition, Bill is a person of his word which allowed me to trust that justice would be pursued on my behalf. This helped to alleviate most of my stress and anxiety so I could focus on my recovery. My experience with Bill was truly a blessing, so I consider him a hero.

I am an experienced Washington attorney who has both fought Levi Larson on behalf of one of my Malpractice clients AND, subsequent to that case resolving, hired him to help knock down a complaint made against my physician wife's practice. 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!

What a pos, has you sign a contract and takes your money and does not fight for you. It was so bad the other lawyers were making fun of him...just pitiful. Oh by the way this was in 2016 thru 2017 when he claimed to be a criminal lawyer. I see now he is still living in that nasty office of his taking on chasing ambulances now. I would not refer him for anything. Cindi Allison vs Jane. Remember that one John? You dumped your client on her head days before trial.

He represented my parents and when the last parent died one sibling had our 87+ mother change the Will a few months just before she passed ... Brian saw it all the way and let it go without any warning to the rest of us.. all legal... but when we questioned the actions.. he said that if we legally contested ...any monies that we were to receive would be reduced to defend the one sibling.. again.. all legal but not my parents intentions...he didn't care .. he got his fees.

Outstanding attorney. Extremely effective, diligent, and very intelligent. Friendly and easy to work with. Also has high ethical standards and a sense of morality - not your typical attorney. Greg saved our bacon after our first attorney passed away, and the second turned out to be "less than diligent". Greg jumped right in, wrote exceptionally well researched motions, and cogently advocated our claims.

I had an horrible car accident early April last year and a friend referred me to Adugna Law Firm and I can say for that was the best decision I made. Zeebman is a really professional attorney
1: kept me updated every step he was taking
2: Made sure that all my medical bills and ambulance fee were all cleared.
3:Followed up with almost everyday to make sure I was getting better
4: Kept in touch with my dr to make sure I was getting the right treatment
5: He was very detailed in everything and the process which was really helpful to me since it was my first car accident.
6: He spared me the struggle of dealing with the insurance company and gave me time to heal.
7: He made sure I got all the necessary payments with clear explanation of every single detail.
Thanks to Adugna law firm, I am a happy client and I'll go back again if I was in a similar situation, (though hopefully not) Thanks Zeebman

Anne Gould should NOT be allowed give legal representation. Her qualifications are examples of the low bar set in our current legal system. Please believe that this is not merely a response from a bitter ex-client who lost a case but it is a summary of my experience with Anne as my attorney.
Anne has no real legal expertise. There were countless times during my case where I relied on Anne's recommendations. One of these recommendations resulted in my actions being found by the court as acting in "bad faith." This also resulted in my children being ripped from Washington State and transported across the country to Arkansas due to a legal technicality that Anne was not aware of.
Anne is unprepared. We were in court several times over 7 months and EVERY time we were in court Anne was unable to make reasonable arguments because she spent most of her time rifling through paper notes. Anne would spend several billable hours (according to her) studying our case prior to appearing in court but then had no idea how to respond to any line of questioning.
Anne is dishonest. During the time when Anne represented me there were several letters that needed to be written for trial (eg Answers, Motion for appearance, Quick Replys, etc). I personally wrote each and every one of these letters and then emailed them to Anne for legal formatting. She submitted this paperwork word for word as I had written it (even with some grammar and spelling errors). She then CHARGED me over 35 hours of "writing legal responses/paperwork." When I approached Anne with my concerns over her "over billing" she initially agreed to forgive those hours and then later SUED ME for under payment.
Anne is a fraud. I fired Anne after 7 months of misrepresentation and over billing. I was upset at her effort and knowledge level of the law so I parted ways with her. After Anne agreed to forgive "overcharged" hours she then later SUED ME for over $8k (after I had already paid her over $24k in legal fees).
As a footnote to this experience, I hired a different attorney after firing Anne and he was able to get my children back to Washington and in my care in less than 2 months. He knew more about my case (and the law for that matter) in only 2 face-to-face sessions than Anne ever did in 7 months.
If you want to throw money away and have your life destroyed stick with Anne. She will be perfect for you.

As a footnote to this experience, I hired a different attorney after firing Anne and he was able to get my children back to Washington and in my care in less than 2 months. He knew more about my case (and the law for that matter) in only 2 face-to-face sessions than Anne ever did in 7 months.
If you want to throw money away and have your life destroyed stick with Anne. She will be perfect for you.

Mr. Hamiton is very elderly, but seemed to still be quick on the draw. He understood the principles of the case and we agreed on the angle best to pursue the case... or so I thought.
We corresponded for months prior to the court date ( summary judgment) I started to realize he wasn't following the information or keeping up/track of the evidence I was sending him. (given it was enormous amount of material for personal injury)
So I went personally to his office to assist in sorting through the evidence. I had everything organized all the key documents and there purposes noted and ready. I was there 9 hours and it was indescribable, he simply wasn't up to date with technology , he didn't know what Docusign was. He couldn't remember or recognize which emails were coming from me or the defendants attorney. I know in his prime he was incredible....
but that had to be a very long time ago.
Ultimately, I insisted he ask for a continuance, he repeatedly requested the declarations- ALREADY IN HIS POSSESSION, the secretary didn't know how to use file conversion software, she was retyping declarations because they used 'word' and our docs were in 'PDF'
He ended up re-writing the declarations for us, turning pages into sentences and omitting the most detrimental details. He kept sending them via email asking us to sign , WE REFUSED TO SIGN BECAUSE OF THE DEGREE OF INACCURACY AND LACK OF DETAIL. He submitted his declarations to the court, even though we adamantly told him to.
JUDGE GRANTED THE SUMMARY JUDGEMENT, HIS REASON?
LACK OF DETAIL OR ANY SUBSTANCE TO THE DECLARATIONS- Which is the only requirement to get through a summary judgement! Then told us we had no recourse and sent a letter (AFTER the 10 day window for reconsideration!)
informing us of the outcome, instead of calling or answering our calls! Therefore preventing us from fixing what he had done - THEN WOULDN'T WITHDRAW, SO WE COULD PURSUE A APPEAL OR TRY TO MOVE FORWARD PO SE!!!

I consulted with Mr. Hamilton after my 20-year-old son was jailed after an altercation with the police. Mr. Hamilton was wonderful at counseling me through the day and helping me find the best way to address the situation. He clearly knows what he is doing, and has many tools to offer in a situation where a family member is unexpectedly in a bad situation. I recommend him very highly.

I hired Charles Hamilton to assist me with a criminal misdeamenor case. He was knowledgable and very helpful in explaining the process. He responded respectfully and honestly with all my questions and promptly returned my calls and email messages. He clearly had extensive experience and was connected with other attorneys so as to facilitate and expedite
the hearings within a readonable period of time. Most importantly, from beginning to end he was non-judgmental, had a good sense of humor and I had every confidence in him that he was working with my best interests in mind.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
