They were the worst. Promised and did not deliver. They took my money and did nothing but write a letter that was par at best and had incorrect data, made me look like a fool. They do no care about you, only your money! Greedy and dishonest, stay away

We were new to purchasing a condominium and needed reliable advice about how to evaluate the financial health of a building, the legal structuring of the operating entities for the building (HOA, etc) and general legal due diligence anyone should run to uncover anything that could impact the enjoyment or value of a unit. Brandt helped us think about one building by reviewing area building proposals. The firm informed us construction of a tower 20 feet away from the windows of the unit we were considering purchasing was very likely. We decided that was a risk we were unwilling to take and did not submit an offer. Our second property - we did place an offer. In review, Brandt flagged the documentation provided was incomplete, the property's operating entities were not structured properly and the building itself was underfunded relative to upcoming repairs. Brand also said the seller's disclosure was not to standard and was unacceptable in form. Brandt highlighted and explained all issues in the documentation and answered our questions. We decided to walk. We learned a lot from this first due diligence review. For our next offer, we knew more about what to look for in the docs and also relied upon Brandt's assessment / highlighting and notes. Brandt was again exceptionally thorough judging HOA funding, legal entities, etc reasonably proper. We felt we understood the full extent of the transaction and proceeded forward. Brandt taught us a lot. Documentation is reviewed to the letter. Everything of question requiring follow-up is flagged. The point of the legal review is to reduce your risk by understanding the totality of what you are buying and if you are willing to accept the full extent of probable financial and legal liabilities. The firm will NOT tell you what to do - all decisions remain yours. What the firm will do is advise about what is in front of you and enable you to fully exercise your legal rights as you enter into a transaction.

Delayed my case for over 2 month and caused my HOA to put a lien on my house. I would not recommend this firm at all.

Had a pleasant discussion with the lawyers and I trust they all take care of concerns.

After selling our home, we were shocked when the buyers filed a suit against based on bizarre misrepresentations of our words and actions. We had never dealt with anything like this before, and found Levy von Beck Comstock through a Google search. We were immediately reassured when we spoke to Dave that we had found the right person to help us. He and his team helped us through all the confusing details, thoroughly explained our options at every turn, coordinated negotiations effectively, and eventually helped us reach an inexpensive settlement that put an end to the stress and let us get on with our lives. I'm so glad we found them!

I am posting as the President of our HOA. Dave von Beck helped us to secure funding from our insurance carrier based off a policy that was in place over 20 years ago for our building. These funds recouped by Dave in our settlement allowed us to properly address the siding issues that have plagued our building over the past 5 years. His knowledge of the construction and built environment was amazing and he had a plan from day one. I would highly recommend their services to anyone thinking about perusing their building insurance carrier. The fees are minimal when compared to the return they provide. Thank you Levy/von Beck/Comstock for your diligence and hard work as partners through this entire process.

I worked with Dave and his team and give them my highest recommendation to anyone seeking help resolving an issue. It's never a good situation when you need to go the legal route to deal with issues. However, this group of people really did an amazing job. They were consistently there to answer my questions and most importantly they were always direct and honest with me. I walked away feeling like I had the best possible outcome. I truly appreciate their work and help getting me through this process.

Our attorney Seth was our savior. That is not a exaggeration as our contractor had caused so much damage to our house the City of Seattle placed a Notice of Violation on our property and we could not get it removed unless we fixed the damages by the contractor. Damages were in excess of what we could afford and the contractor went down a rabbit hole. We contacted Levy Von Beck Comstock and were assigned Seth Chastain. Seth was very sympathetic to our situation and told us he would take on our case. Once we hired him we immediately felt we had someone to help us out and had our back. He made us feel like we had a partner. He coordinated all of the experts to create a great demand letter to the opposing side, and worked very well with opposing counsel. He communicated every step of the way, and there were many steps in this whole process. Seth got us into mediation and we settled with the opposing side. Both me and my wife do not like to talk about what it would have been like if we did not have Seth fighting for us. He performed magnificently.

Efficient, calm legal advice. They were able to sort out some questions regarding a poorly run HOA at my condo. Helped me determine my vulnerability and evaluate appropriate actions quickly. Rapid response.

I came to Brandt Law group from google searching with an unusual real estate situation. The team here was very helpful, patient, and professional in helping me navigate out of the hole I had dug myself and then helped me sell my condo. In the end I saved tens of thousands of dollars by being able to avoid real estate agent commissions.
