I was very pleased with the service provided to me by Attorney Goodwin. Fortunately my divorce was an uncontested and largely amicable one with a minimum of hiccups, but nonetheless it gave me peace of mind to engage an attorney to make sure everything was done the way it is supposed to be, and that I was protected. (1) It is obvious that Attorney Goodwin understands divorce law and process inside out. He and one of the paralegals at the firm ensured that all paperwork and filings were done correctly and in a timely fashion, and that I understood the process. (2) The firm is very clear and up-front about billing policies and practices. Biweekly billing statements provide a high level of detail on the time billed (e.g. "0.2 hours to reply to client email on topic of X"). I was able to complete my divorce for the amount of my initial retainer plus a little bit more. I consider the amount I spent to be fair, and was impressed that certain specific tasks took less time than I might have imagined. (3) The office itself is conveniently located in downtown Redmond and is a modern, pleasant, professional-looking place, with a friendly and helpful administrative/ reception staff. (4) David and the paralegal always very quick to respond to queries, and were always able to have meetings or phone calls with me on a same day/ next day basis. (5) While David advised me that there might be an opportunity for me to "get more" out of a settlement with wife (which would likely mean more revenue for the firm because my wife would be less likely to agree to such a settlement and hence it would need to go through the mediation and court process, with the billable hours ticking), I never felt pressure, and instead had the feeling that he was advising me primarily for my own benefit and understanding. (6) David is sensitive to the fact that divorce is a difficult matter, and has a way about him that makes interaction with him pleasant and even mildly enjoyable despite the inherent unpleasantness of divorce. (7) David accompanied me to Court for the final dissolution, and went through the motions and procedures at the courthouse as though he could do it in his sleep. Overall, I was very impressed with my experience with Attorney Goodwin and would unequivocally recommend the firm for anyone who has family law matters.

Robert is an excellent family law attorney. He has handled emotional, complex, drwan out litigation like the professional he is. He is a strong advocate, fair, and very smart.

If character and integrity coupled with knowledge of their discipline are traits which you require to represent you, utilize Sam and Genesis

I was referred to David Goodwin whom came highly recommended. I was going through a very difficult time and he was very sensitive and understanding regarding my circumstances. He went above and beyond in my case. He has high attention to details and his thoroughness and great follow through showed all the way to the end. He is genuine and caring and I truly am grateful for all the hard work he put forth for me and my family. Thank you so much David. -Sue

Brandon was very helpful and, above all, patient. He worked with me over several months - much longer than needed and mostly due to the fact that I'm super busy and almost always ignore his email (sorry Brandon ...). Nevertheless, he helped me with my naturalization process without flaw and everything went smoothly.

I have a very good experience with Genesis Law Firm, I rate it an excellent. Brandon Gillin help me with immigrant visa. He is very professional, and he is a really nice person. In my future case OPT or Working Visa (H1-B). I am very happy to have Brandon prepare it for me. I highly recommend Brandon to everybody I know, especially an international student.

There are moments when the actions of someone you've never met uphold your belief that great people still exist. I have since met this wonderful man and his name is Samuel Darling. Samuel helped me and my family through the worst experience in my life. His counsel proved to be the deciding factor in the divorce/custody case I was embroiled in. His willingness to listen to my side and help me despite a financially difficult time will not be forgotten any time soon. I have full custody of both children now. Each day with these kids is a gift. I write this review as a thank you to a wonderful attorney, a great person, and a fellow father. Perhaps someone right now is reading this and they need to make a decision. An important decision of whom to trust their family law matter is not an easy choice these days. I have trusted Samuel Darling with my case from the start. His dedication and counsel have made my family whole again. If you are on the fence with your legal counsel decision call Samuel Darling first before anyone else.

Search no further for outstanding legal counsel! Sam and Genesis Law have helped me through many situations such as Commercial Lease reviews, Commercial property purchase, Real Estate contract negotiations, Business purchases contracts, LLC Creation, Licensing, Human resource / Labor Law guidance, ADA compliance issues, as well as personal legal questions and guidance. I hold them in the highest regard and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

“What a delight to have found Sam. He’s everything you could ask for in a small business attorney–knowledgeable, straightforward, friendly, and humble. Unlike other attorneys I have worked with, Sam never gives me the impression that my business is too piddly and insignificant to merit his full attention. Whenever I work with him, I feel I am getting the full benefit of his professional expertise and dedication. He also is incredibly responsive and organized. I look forward to working with Sam for many years to come!” – Craig Bunney.

I hired Brandon Gillin to help me with a potential real estate encroachment issue, as my neighbor was encroaching on our property. The process included Brandon drafting a license agreement, with the intent of me granting a license for the encroachment. The real "win" in the process was how Brandon educated me as to issues and how our joint communication with the neighbor resulted in them changing their practices so they no longer encroached on our property and a license was no longer needed. Furthermore, by how it was handled, the relationship with the neighbor actually improved (is now very good). Due to Brandon's diligence and follow-through, I have protected my property rights and maintained good relationship with the neighbor.
