The GateKeeper and face every single solitary business is the person you hire to answer your phone. Unfortunately this business hired an inept person to answer their phone. As many injury attorneys know clients with injuries have are more than you can imagine to deal with the last thing they should be expected to tolerate is rude, inept people. Answering your phone is not rocket science it requires only common sense. Unfortunately this attorney's office expects all of their clients to tolerate inept and rude behavior at his first contact. Apparently these people don't know that if you incapable of hiring someone with Common Sense and a professional demeanor as the face of their business then it's just the tip of the iceberg. There's too many injury attorneys to deal with obnoxious rude inept people. Don't even dial their number move on.

Sketchy notice of request of deposit by their process service! Process servers never identified herself all. Claimed to be a flower delivery person. Seriously could have just told me she was serving me for a depo. Not like I have personally avoided any service. You have the address of the person you are sueing and it ain't mine. Get a grip people. I have told every single process server they they don't live here and yet they insist opening my gate and trespassing 🤦🤦🤦. So dumb! Thanks but no thanks for the flowers!

Matthew Ennis is one of a kind. How often do you run into a skilled attorney who also happens to be a decent human being. First off, he created a fee agreement that took my run-down finances into account. Then, as we started working together – Matthew helped me with a complex severance agreement - he was patient in the extreme. And his legal advice was consistently spot on. Matthew is a sharp attorney and a compassionate psychologist rolled into one guy.

After meeting with Rachel one time I knew she was exactly who I was looking for to represent me in a collaborative divorce (already in progress). She is smart, frank and had a unique blend of mediation, litigation and collaborative law experience. Rachel quickly got up to speed and sustained momentum until the end. She was available in person, phone or email keeping me informed and was always prompt to reply. Rachel is an expert at keeping things on track without making me feel rushed to make decisions. She could decipher what I was trying to say and assured me that there were no stupid questions. Divorce is an emotional experience which Rachel deftly handled. She didn’t spin me up or minimize my feelings but rather redirected me to stay focused and moving forward. I truly appreciate Rachel and highly recommend her and her team.

Rachel helped me fix a messy custody (dis)agreement, made more complex by being a military family with both parties residing out of state. I sincerely wish I had utilized her during my actual divorce, and saved some of the headaches my previous counsel didn't consider. She communicated clearly and consistently with me while I was overseas, and helped address areas I hadn't considered as potential conflicts. She put in long hours during mediation sessions with my Ex, assisting me with the best possible outcome without going to trial. 10/10, I highly recommend.

What Questions Should I Ask Before Hiring a Lawyer?

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What challenges do you foresee in my case?
    Understanding potential obstacles helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to resolve my legal issue?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Fircrest, Washington?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
