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.

Ann has helped me with 2 accidents now. Each time very responsive. She’s always answered any questions I had. I like that she gives it to me straight. I would highly recommend her. It was great working with her. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen but if I ever get into an accident again I will contact her no doubt. Thank you for all your help over the years I appreciate you.

I recently consulted with Damien regarding a severance agreement I had already signed after being laid off by my employer. A section in the non-compete clause had been keeping me up at night—it made no sense, even after running it through numerous analyses. Damien returned my call quickly, and I was immediately impressed by his responsiveness and dedication.
You can tell he works long, hard hours and is genuinely passionate about employee rights. He was generous with his time, actively listened to my concerns, and provided clear guidance to help me better understand the clause in question. Damien even pointed me toward additional resources to further unpack my concerns.
What stood out the most was his thoughtful and reassuring approach—there was absolutely no "hard sell." I left our conversation feeling like he truly cares about his clients and the people seeking his advice. I highly recommend Damien for anyone needing clarity and support during such a stressful 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.

I hired Rick a couple years ago to navigate some issues with a (then) employer. When that was concluded, Rick said to let him know if I had any other questions, and so when something that was tangentially related to that issue came up recently (1+ years later) I reached out to Rick to see if he couldanswer a few questions. Rick made time within a week for a phone call and was able to quickly answer my questions. He is a solid, solid person who you can trust to care about your case, and you as an individual. I highly recommend him!

No narcissist, abuser, bully, intimidator, gas lighter, manipulator, or exploiter are too big for Kirk Davis! My case was complicated and multi-faceted. I had difficulty finding an attorney to take my case. I am eternally grateful Kirk Davis accepted the challenge. I assumed I would lose most of my award to all the medical fees I incurred. Kirk even negotiated those that I was not expecting! I highly recommend Kirk Davis as an attorney and a human. Thank you, Kirk. The legal world is a much better place with you in it.

I was so fortunate that Mary Ruth Mann took my case against my employer. I can’t begin to adequately express my gratitude to a woman who remained by my side during a very lengthy case. Engaging in a law suit against anyone is a big decision and a stressful undertaking. Finding the right attorney is crucial. I thank God every day that I found Mary Ruth. When she told me to put my fears aside and allow her to do the worrying for me, she truly lightened my load. Mary Ruth is a woman of integrity who is brilliant, unafraid, and exactly the person one needs in his/her corner when going up against any adversary. After getting to know her, I pity the individual who makes the mistake of underestimating her abilities. Frankly, she’s amazing, tireless, and tenacious. If I were to need legal counsel again, I would go directly to Mary Ruth. I’d be a fool not to. You are the best, Mary Ruth. What a ride it was. And thanks to you, we won.

If MRM has been practicing 35 years we were her among her early clients. She was amazing the and still is. I have not needed an attorney much since 1981 but when I have she is the best advisor. Never has forced a litigation on any. She did took my husband I through the end of a horrid family court matter that had taken on a life of its own even after remarriages . Former attorneys had settled nothing to the satisfaction of any party, including new husband or new wife. We did prevail on a permanent maintenance beyond remarriage of the recipient or payment of attorney fees by husband. She took it to appeals and won on both. She did not further damage the already fragile relationship between divorced parents of a fragile preteen in the process. Time passes we are grandparents, everyone is the exact same personality as they were in then. She worked hard for us in an area of law that is not her specialty but she has left her mark with these appeals and by assuring we newly weds had a chance at making a marriage and eventual family find peace. For that We are eternally grateful.

I met with Elizabeth in November 2019. I had been recently let go from my dental job shortly after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I had worked in the dental field for 35 years and was 61 years old. I had received an email from my former employers letting me know that I was no longer employed at their dental practice. You can only imagine the panic I felt not to mention the deep betrayal from a group of doctors that I thought were supporting me during my battle. In my consultation, I knew imediately that Elizabeth would be the attorney to represent me. Her professionalism was above and beyond what would be expected from an attorney of her caliber. However, it was her unwavering compassion and fierceness that let me know she would fight to the end to right the wrong that had been undeservedly done to me. Elizabeth put me at ease and let me know that under no circumstance was this appropriate behavior and totally unacceptable, that having a disability I had rights and they had disregarded these rights. There was absolutely no reason to warrant tossing me aside as if I didn't matter or assuming that I would not be able to continue doing my job to the fullest extent. Or the fact that I was a person who worked hard for them every day and took pride in my position. I represented their practice with integrity and made sure that my treatment of our patients and fellow team members was always with upmost respect. After all we are in healthcare and that's what we do, take care of our patients. They didn't even take into consideration that they fired me during breast cancer awareness month.
Elizabeth stood by my side and empowered me to stand up and let my former employers know that I matter and no one deserves to be treated this way! So, together we walked through this battle to defend my personhood and send the message that you cant treat me this way. Due to Covid and multiple delays on their end this walk together went nearly 4 years. Elizabeth kept in contact with me at all times. She kept me updated when even the smallest of information came to her. Elizabeth checked in on me on a regular basis and wanted to know how I was doing and how my treatment was going. Making sure if I needed anything to help me during my fight. She expressed her concerns that I was taking care of myself and celebrated with me as I continued to beat this. Elizabeth always made sure that I knew she was there for me and if I needed anything she would help me in anyway she could. She encouraged me as I went through this journey and on many occasions she let me know how proud she was of me as I faced many challenges.
My former employers were not willing to settle out of court because they felt they had done nothing wrong and the jury would side with them. So off to court we went. Another amazing attorney from SGB Joe Solseng joined forces along with an impressive support team. All I can say is they should have settled out of court. It was impressive beyond to have this legal team show them that you are not allowed to treat an employee this way. After a long 8 day trial, the jury deliberated for a mere 90 minutes. They awarded me handsomely, way beyond my wildest dreams. I was vindicated and the message was sent loud and clear. This was unacceptable and you simply can not treat your employees this way.
If you are in need of legal representation, you will be hard pressed to find a better attorney along with an extremely impressive group of individuals, than Elizabeth Hanley and her legal team at SGB. Thank you Elizabeth, your dedication has meant the world to me. Linda

You have suffered a life-changing injury. Ms. Hanley will embody intellectual agility, ethical sensibilities, and a deep commitment to set you up for success while you navigate the complicated process of trying to recover physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, socially, professionally, and personally. Ms. Hanley is mindful of the intangible compensation a personal injury client desperately seeks: justice and accountability. With swift critical thinking skills, Ms. Hanley is thoughtful, efficient, and logical whether it is nuanced knowledge of previous case law or understanding how to defend and prepare the complex layers of your life before, during and after the injury. Ms. Hanley has a magnetic balance of determination, wisdom, and fearlessness. Ms. Hanley was patient and responsive to medical providers, giving her a degree of thoroughness and humility about my case. Ms. Hanley is intuitive, proactive, and purposeful with her time, effort and energy. As a client who required accommodations because of a disability, I was concerned if the extra support, guidance and flexibility that I needed would become burdensome. Instead, Ms. Hanley empowered me during each step of the process, expressed appreciation for my comments and questions, and through effective communication showed me she was a sophisticated communicator on my behalf. Ms. Hanley articulates legal jargon and processes in a way that clients can synthesize and appreciate. Every client should have the honor of being represented by Ms. Hanley.

I hired Greg to advise me during a stormy severance negotiation with an employer. He provided direct feedback on the content of my communications, overall tone, and legal pitfalls to avoid. Additionally, his advice on tactics and pacing at each round were critical to my success. Throughout the whole process, he heard my needs clearly, gave direct, effective advice, and always kept me focused on the goal of a successful compromise. The final compensation was 50% more than I expected, but beyond that it really gave me back a sense of agency in the process. 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.

Teller & Associates represented me in a civil case against a former employer in which I received a 6-figure settlement (even after paying Teller and taxes). These lawyers are "true believers" in civil rights and social justice. They have high integrity and truly care for their clients; I never noticed any hint of dishonesty, deception, or manipulation. They aren't in this just for the money; they want to help. Furthermore, Steve's facial structure was genetically engineered by extraterrestrial social justice warriors to persuade juries to believe just about anything, so your case would probably prevail in court. I recommend hiring Steve's firm.

Steve Teller is an amazing lawyer and a wonderful person. He believes in justice and will fight for you when you don’t have the strength to fight for yourself. During my case, he took time to explain each process and never over promised. If it wasn’t for him, my husband and I would not be in the position that we’re in today. I highly recommend his services. Thank you for everything Steve!

Steve is a fantastic attorney. He is knowledgeable and will work long and hard for you. I was a little skeptical when he joined my complicated employment case in progress, but he was up to speed on the facts almost immediately, and he brought a fresh insight and new life to my case. He is enthusiastic, persistent, determined and will aggressively fight for you. Steve is also personable, caring, and compassionate and understands your emotional distress. He was easily accessible and kept me informed and up to date. After nearly two years, my case settled for almost 1 million dollars (which is rarely seen in Eastern Washington). If you have been wronged by your employer, I highly recommend you call Steve. It was a blessing having him in my corner.

I was extremely pleased with Sara Amies. I was looking for an attorney to review my situation and properly advice me on whether I had a case against my employer. She listened attentively, asked questions and accurately summarized my situation. We were under a very tight timeline and she was quickly able to draft the terms of my separation agreement within a 3 day period. Sara responds quickly, is efficient and provides you with her best legal advise, not just what you are hoping to hear. Sara made the experience a pleasure and not a dreaded experience. I left the details in her hands and didn't worry about it. I highly recommend Sara and would use her again if the need arose.

I was put into a no-win situation with my boss/employer where he put me on a PIP. After addressing each point on the PIP and getting good feedback from co-workers I was let go. Sara gave me 1 hour consultation on how to conduct my exit interview. Her advice helped me navigate that meeting very well. She has also helped me navigate ESD and get unemployment. Even though I only paid for 1 hours worth of consultation, she has been very quick to follow up on the half dozen emails I have sent her about working through the unemployment/ESD process. I highly recommend her.

In our situation Katie assisted with a very complex employment discrimination matter with a lot of moving parts. Katie is an outstanding litigator/negotiator whose compassion for her work and her clients shines through. From the start of her work on our case it was obvious she was very knowledgeable about employment/labor law and as the case progressed it became clear that not only did Katie believe in our case- but that she was personally invested in seeing us have a successful resolution. Her communication with us on every matter big or small was timely and clear. Her patience and willingness to explain the process on any issue was commendable. Her honesty is admirable. She kept us grounded in moments of stress and remained steadfast throughout the process. She often made us feel as if we were her only or most important client. The support staff at her firm was outstanding too.
In the end our case resolution was better than we had hoped for when we started. It has made a big difference in our future. Though my hope is that I will never again need the services of an attorney, should that need again arise, I know who I want in my corner. Thank you Katie!

Katie is a very talented passionate lawyer with a wealth of knowledge and unsurpassed integrity. She represented me in a complex employment discrimination/retaliation case. Throughout the time we worked together, she kept me constantly informed and never pressured me to make any decision. We settled before trial (even before depositions) for far more than I imagined possible. This was entirely due to her careful preparation, impeccable strategy, and strong negotiation skills. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Ms. Touschner is an attorney who is precise, attentive and conducts herself with the highest professional and ethical standards. She listens and offers advice from a place of experience and understanding of the legal remedies that may be available. I interact with many attorneys through my work and practice and Ms. Touschner is one of the most responsive I have ever worked with. She is clear in her communication and responds in a timely manner. I ended up electing not to bring my suit and Ms. Touschner was supportive and helpful.

I am honored to be able to provide a review of Attorney Mark Anderson. I work for the WA State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Mark was our assigned counsel. The issue fell square within employment law, and I found Mark to be incredibly knowledgeable, flexible and adaptable, and he also behaved with high integrity and professionalism. I have 35 years working in government HR, and Mark was the best attorney I've worked with: assertive, yet reasonable.

Mark is just an amazing advocate and diligent attorney. My case was an employment labor dispute. Mark carefully separated the facts from story and developed the tightest argument. Marks ability to view all angles of opposing arguments provided an articulate case that we won. Also I greatly appreciated his coaching on how to stay focused when answering questions during cross examination. I was able to remain calm and strong. Thank you Mark for all your support!

Mark was great as my attorney. Prompt, together, knowledgeable and most importantly empathetic. The Courtroom can be very foreboding environment to to find yourself in and Mark made it a point to ease my apprehensions. My case was simple, just a "disorderly conduct" charge, but to me it was a complex mess to mire through and Mark made it smooth sailing. Would I retain again? Without question.

From the moment I hired Mr. Vernon to represent me in an employment related case against a former employer for violations of the minimum wage act he was unbelievably attentive, responsive and eager for justice. Working with Greg I always felt like I wasn't just a client, but that he sincerely cared about my case and was fighting for what he knew was right. Throughout discover Greg took on dozens of extra hours when opposing council attempted to strong arm important documentation out of the court, he was always available to answer any questions, and in the end he helped me negotiate for a settlement far exceeding my expectations.
I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with Mr. Vernon, going into any legal matter is never enjoyable, however with Greg working on your behalf you know your case is in the right persons hands. I have and will always recommend friends, family, or anyone else found in a legal matter to use Mr. Vernons service and I suggest you do the same.

I went to Ms. Weiss at a low point in my life as well. I’ll be the first to admit, my case was messy due to a lapse of judgement on my part, but the fact clearly demonstrated that I was inappropriately terminated from my job for pure retaliatory reasons. Ms. Weiss appeared gung-ho to take my case at first, but her tone changed abruptly. I believe she thought poorly of the choices I made in my personal life, and it affected how she represented me. She did get me a settlement, took a third of it, and would not assist me when the final portion of the settlement was paid out incorrectly. I would not recommend her again.

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.

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:
- Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
- Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.
Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.
What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?
A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:
- Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
- Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
- Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
- Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
- Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.
How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
- Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.
How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:
- Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
- Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
- Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.
Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Termination Lawyer
- Verify Their License: Check your state's bar association website to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review Their Experience: Look for lawyers who specialize in employment law and have specific experience with wrongful termination cases.
- Read Client Reviews: Websites like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google Reviews can provide insights into the lawyer's reputation.
- Ask for References: Reputable lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients.
- Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) indicates a focus on employment law.
- Disciplinary Record: Ensure the lawyer has no history of disciplinary actions or complaints.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your initial meeting:
- Employment Documents: Bring your employment contract, employee handbook, offer letters, termination letter, and any severance agreements.
- Performance Records: Include performance reviews, commendations, or any disciplinary actions.
- Correspondence: Provide emails, texts, or memos related to your termination or any incidents leading up to it.
- Witness Information: List names and contact information of colleagues who can support your claims.
- Timeline of Events: Prepare a detailed account of events, including dates and descriptions of incidents.
- Previous Complaints: If you filed complaints with HR or external agencies, bring copies.
- Questions: Write down any questions you have about your case or the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your situation effectively and advise you on the best course of action.
