I was able to retain Michele as my attorney for a dissolution of my marriage. I can not thank her enough for the professionalism, compassion and knowledge she shared at every single step of the way. Whenever I had a question she had an honest answer and explained everything to me fully. I felt like I was doing something relatively easy instead of how complicated I had heard divorce was. Michele was always quick to answer my emails and return my phone calls. She knew what my goals were in the uncontested divorce and fully made sure the outcome would be in accordance with them. I wanted to make an equitable split, make sure I could make a one time payment to cover all spousal support and she went above and beyond. She handled all the communications for the split of 401k and pension accounts so that I didn’t have to spend hours on the phone with the financial companies. She laid all assets and liabilities out cleanly and organized the entire case so that even a kindergartener could understand. Michele was honest with me about outcomes but even then came out above what she had promised by her hard work and determination to fight to my advantage. She made the process easy for me to be able to do all paperwork and get the case finished even after I had moved out of state. She worked with my legal insurance, probably even undercharging me what she deserved to get for such diligent work. I can not recommend her enough or say enough good things about Michele and I believe she is the best lawyer in the entire Seattle area that I’ve ever interacted with or heard of. You could not do better than to give Michele a call and see the results for yourself.

Michele is really very helpful and knowledgeable. She helped me out wrt to my small claims related to tenant-owner issue and helped me throughout with explaining the entire process, coming up with the content for my dispute and preparing me for small court appearance. I ended up wining the case during my first hearing itself and got my full security deposit back along with my other expenses. I would recommend everyone to work with Michele and I would surely like to work with her once again in case if I happen to face any issue for which I need legal support and guidance.

Very disappointing - after a great first initial meeting, I’ve been strung along. I’ve had to send multiple emails with no response. After getting one response and giving Michelle an easy out so that I could move on and find someone else to help me, she said she wanted to still work on my case keeping me on the hook for another few weeks. Since then - ghosted. This has caused active harm to my situation because of timing constraints. Very disappointed because Michelle seemed smart and sharp, but useless if she’s not dependable and has no integrity with her word or accountability.

I contacted Michelle regarding some estate planning for my wife and I. We had a 50 minute phone conversation, which seemed to go well. She sent me a questionnaire, I filled it out, and emailed it back within the next week or two. This was late last year. After that, I never heard from hear again. I left multiple emails, voicemails, nothing. I even said, if you don't have time for this or are not interested, just tell me. Again, nothing. I just don't get it.

I was working with Michele on a prenuptial agreement this summer. She was quite responsive at first. I spent a few hours on the phone speaking with her and determining what should go in the agreement. She provided useful advice, background, and context about WA State law. However, when it came time for her to draft the agreement, she disappeared. No replies to follow up emails. I actually hadn't paid her anything at all at this point. I understand she was having a busy summer, but I'm baffled as to why she would spend hours discussing my documents, not charge me, and then silently disappear. My feedback would be that if you won't have time to take on a client, please just say so, ideally up front (but better late than never). It will save us both a lot of time. I need to find another lawyer now.

I hired Michele for helping me out with a contested divorce case. Right from the day one, Michele handled my case with great professionalism and compassion. Her knowledge and drive were exactly what I needed and looking for since I did not had any personal knowledge or experience in the area of divorce. Her impeccable integrity, dedication, negotiation skills with other party are phenomenal. She had always kept me informed with case proceeding's through out the duration of the case. Always made sure that this divorce case had minimal financial burden on me. As a person, she is very caring, thoughtful, and extremely intelligent. What I like the most in her is that she views you as a person, not just a case number. She takes the time to get to know you and listens to your concerns, needs with utmost attention. I am very happy with Michele's services and truly recommend to anyone who is in need of this fabulous attorney in WA state for any of their family law needs. Thankyou Michele once again !!!. You really helped me during difficult times of my life and most importantly helped me getting back my life under control.

We cannot express our gratitude to Michele Haaseth and her level of service provided to us for a tenant/landlord issue where we were unlawfully treated as tenants. Her passion and level of commitment to our case was beyond our expectations. She was very thorough in explaining our rights, as well as listening to our concerns throughout the entire process, which took a total of 6 months. We would recommend Michele's services to anyone who is seeking representation as a tenant or landlord as she is fair across the board and is extremely knowledgeable in this area. Thank you so much Michele for your services!

She was late to our meetings and completed my documents later than she promised while making mistakes on my them. She was unresponsive when I tried following up with her, when she finally got back to me after several attempts on cell, email, and text it was clear she rushed through her work and missed some important details that we had already discussed. Did not make me feel like a priority, and for the rate she charges I expected more—she was responsive at first but after she takes payment don’t expect much from her.

Michele is a caring, compassionate, brilliant attorney and highly recommend. I consulted with her on a probate matter of my late-mother which I was provided practical, sound advice with a plan to move forward. It was easy to relate to her because of her friendly demeanor, professionalism and respect. I cannot thank her enough for her time and compassion to listen. Superb attorney!

I have multiple home, auto and rental properties and insurance policies from various companies. With our children all in driving age, we have concerns about our risks and liability. So we set up a consultation meeting with Michele Haaseth. She took her time to explain how the law works, who is liable and to what degree. She has all the answers to our questions and even patiently talked about real estate title related matters beyond the original scope for the meeting. She delivers answers and offers legal advice in clear and precise language. I am very satisfied with the service!

Michele was easy to reach and meet. Very compassionate and caring. She gave great advice in a timely matter. Highly recommend!!

I hired Michele to help me with a Small Estate Affidavit when my mother passed away. She completed the required paperwork in one hour. Michele was polite, fast, courteous & to the point. I will recommend her to others. Thank you Michele.
