I had a fantastic experience with Skidmore and Fomina Employment Law Firm in Seattle. Damien and Vera were truly exceptional in handling my case. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Their guidance and expertise made the entire process much less stressful. I felt supported every step of the way, and their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome was evident. I highly recommend Skidmore and Fomina for anyone seeking top-notch employment law services in Seattle. It would be an understatement to say I will never forget what these people did for me. From the bottom of my heart; thank you, Damien and Vera, for your outstanding work!

I honestly and truly love the hard work, dedication & consistency Damisi & his team provided for me during these hard times❤️
It's not often these days to find a team let alone trust worthy individuals who will fight for you to make sure you are taken care of both mentally, physically & financially.
The communication and follow-ups were perfect. The understanding, patience and support I received during this process for both my case and personal life were unmatched. This was definitely not just another case in the books for them.
I lost both my grandmother & father during this process and Damisi & his team reached out multiple times to insure I was ok.
This team faught tooth & nails for me and made sure that in the end I was taken care of.
I am a single mother of 3 & the main provider for my family. Because of this accident I was at risk of losing my job, and lost my home due to being hit by an uninsured truck driver. I can't thank this team enough for taking my case and reassuring me that they had my back and they delivered everything they said they would ❤️
Thanks to this team my family & I are able to have a worry free fresh start & I am so THANKFUL for them ❤️

I have worked with David Linville for many years starting with hiring him to design and edit our business contract documents. Due to his years of experience his insightful guidance has been much appreciated. He is professional, quick to respond and a great communicator when really needed to resolve a construction related dispute. I will continue to work with David for all my business legalities and recommend him without reservation to others seeking legal counsel.

Roy Law Group helped our family win a difficult disability case. We couldn't have managed the amount of work ourselves, so the help was critical and invaluable.

First and foremost, my wife and I are extremely appreciative of the Roy Law Group. They are now family to us and we could not have dealt with the insurance company alone. The people that work for Roy Law Group took us on and walked us through every step of the long process. I wish we could recommend them higher than this review. Our story of "why" we recommend Roy Law Group. My wife suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of a horrific automobile accident and epilepsy. At first, her short term employment disability kicked in without any issues. We noticed a change in the disability insurance as my wife's treatments continued past the six month mark. We were told by the insurance company she was not going to receive long-term disability. The insurance company lied stating long-term disability was not selected for her at time of employment. Being she has TBI it was very difficult for her to understand what was happening. I had to do the work to find her original employment signing paperwork showing she had signed up, checked the box, and paid for this service. This was the first time we realized the insurance company was not here to "help" my wife. During this stage we received many complicated paperwork assignments from the insurance company and threats she was going to be dropped from coverage. You could feel the insurance company just wanted us to give up so they could save money. They do not care about your actual wellbeing. We did not give up like they wanted us to do. Months prior to the one year mark the threats became real as the insurance company randomly sent my wife a denial of coverage letter. They gave a ridiculous reason stating they felt she was fine now and was dropping her from long-term coverage again. Mind you, she had only been on long-term disability for a few months. Even though she was still receiving medical services and had multiple doctors stating the opposite. We did not accept the insurance games anymore and looked for help. Thankfully we talked with the Row Law Group. They are amazing people from the start and tell you up front what they will do. No false promises, as they walk you through realistically if they were able or not able to help and why. Luckily for us they saw what the insurance company was doing and had dealt with this same company many times. I love the fact they listen to your situation and you know they are in the fight with you. I have never seen complete strangers be an advocate for the truth and justice like the Row Law Group is. Over the process I could not imagine anyone else doing such an amazing tailored job to our situation as them. We have now had my wife's long term disabilities reinstated and now moving forward the insurance company has to still deal with our protectors the Row Law Group. If you are going through the ringer and fighting with an insurance company over short/long-term disability just stop the stress and fight alone. Don't delay like we did just CALL Row Law Group now. I wish we had called them earlier and my wife would not have had to cry or worry as much during the earliest stages of the fight. Our family is so grateful to the Row Law Group.

This gal is the most knowlegeable overall of any lawyer i have ever used. Anything I ask her she knows and is quick to answer. No pontificating and dodging the answer. I asked three or 4 lawyers an estate question (they did not know), and Gwyn knew it right away. She doesn't even charge you if you do not engage her and will give you a free half hour (or more). She is awesome and I rely on her for all sorts of legal questions from contracts and real estate, to litigation and procedure matters. I cannot recommend anyone more highly.

Scott is amazing! He litigated a big win for my case against one of my former tenants. My case was rather unique as the defendant was a lawyer himself, and basically told me if I decide to sue him, he will make it long, painful and expensive for me. I called a handful of lawyers but Scott was the only one that was passionate not only winning the case, but make sure the defendant understands his behavior will not be tolerated. Scott was mindful of my expenses and I efficiently brought an action against the attorney and in the end, he paid you every penny owed, interest and the great majority of your attorneys fees. I am very happy with my experience with Scott and his team and would definitely hire him again.

A direct competitor to our business was posting defamatory information about our company online. Scott sued the competitor for defamation. Scott warned us all along that because we could not prove actual damages, the amount of damages awarded was completely within the discretion of the jury. He jokingly would say the jury can award you a ham sandwich and a cup of soup or $750,000. We spent seven days in trial. Scott took command of the courtroom from the beginning and maintained control throughout. In his closing argument, he asked the jury to award $750,000. He underestimated the power of his presentation of the case. The jury came back with an award of $900,000. Scott and his team are masterful at their trade. Highly recommend.

This is our first personal injury protection case so I was a little unsure, but we are so glad we got Sonny and his team. We were hit by another car and the at fault party's insurance low balled me. We needed several months of medical care. Sonny's team, Malissa, Vy and everyone helped us feel assured we would be taken care of and they did just that. They nearly doubled the amount of settlement offered by the other agency. We got all the care we needed, recouped the losses from time off work and assured our confidence in the legal process. We come from immigrant/refugee background so we are sometimes untrusting of these things, based on our general life expereinces, but wow, we are so happy and thankful for Sonny, his expertise, wisdom and knowledge. They're really helping people get back on their feet and more. I would give 10 stars. Thanks again.

Sonny and his assistant, Malissa, were exemplary in their work. Throughout the lengthy and often tedious legal process, they provided clear and timely communication to us. They took care of the major demands and made our jobs much easier. They were diligent and persistent in their negotiation to ensure we get the best compensation possible. I would highly recommend Sonny because you know he will fight for you relentlessly!!

The attorney I had used for the past 40 years retired and I didn't know who to call. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with the replacement I picked for help in the sale of my commercial real estate. So, I asked a realtor friend who she would recommend and without hesitation she highly recommended Tom. She was right! Tom and I met immediately and I found him to be very fair and thorough about what needed to be done. He got the ball rolling and the transaction was completed to my complete satisfaction. I would definitely work with him again.

As a small construction company we don't have an ongoing need to keep a lawyer on retainer, but whenever we have a little wrangle we call Linnville. They are absolutely present for us, focused on the issue, and providing the support we need. No nonsense. They just nail it.

I had to step outside of our normal legal council because of a PUD dimension that my case was involved with. So Larry was a referral as he has this expertise with Public Utilities.
I have to say I was not happy to begin with another attorney especially since we have to re-convey the entire litany of the case/situation from the beginning again :-(
Larry was upfront, respectful and yet to the point; and most pleasant while doing so. He also has a can of "old school wit" that he seems to know just when to open to be most effective and share with the other side.
I plan to use Larry again very soon in another matter and look forward to working with him again. Thanks Mark

My Name is Michelle and I have used Larry Linville on several cases at this point he has mastered each case, and has succeeded in a winning result. I came to Larry feeling hopeless, seemed that people with more money can hurt the small guy.....that would be me....and the people around me....that would be my family and employees. Larry took control and formulated the truth and presented the case each time. In the end ....the truth did prevail and Larry's expertise and professional practice has provided what we needed, that was to be herd and paid for work that we did do. Thank you Larry for such a great job, and with the help of you fantastic assistant Kristen.....no one said it would be easy....but the respect and care you have shown to me and my family is with out measure we adore you as a man and respect you even more....thank you for making a difference in our lives.....
I would and will recommend you to any one who is need of help in construction and collecting funds....the smaller people need not be afraid with you in the front line.

We spoke a few times while getting my issue resolved and it was always a pleasure to chat with him.

Robert was personable and professional in all our dealings.

How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:

- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.

Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.
Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.

Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:
- Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
