Mike Mazon and our office had a mutual client/patient who was treating in our clinic for multiple car accidents they were involved in. The client didn't have health insurance or PIP coverage, so we agreed as a favor to hold this person's treatment balance so they could get treatment for their injuries, with the understanding that we would be paid at the end of the case from the settlement. We did not have to do this, and did it only as a kindness for this person who could not afford to pay out of pocket for any amount of treatment, but nonetheless was injured and needed the care. This agreement was made at our inconvenience and expense but we held the balance for multiple years while the case was pending. When the case settled and we asked to be paid, Mike tried to get us to reduce our bill by over 80%. When we asked for a more reasonable resolution, he said he would teach us a lesson by disbursing all of the money to the client without paying us at all, in effect exposing the client to a very large debt and mounting collections actions as we tried to recover payment for this significant outstanding balance our office was owed. Not only did Mike retract on his agreement, but then he put his client in a horrible position where we had to go after her for that money. It was not clear that she was ever informed by Mike that our bill had not been paid and that we were owed a great deal for this balance. We never got paid a cent for any part of this treatment balance. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for a more professional lawyer.

I was very lucky to find Micheal. I was badly injured at a sketchy bed and breakfast and needed surgery and 4 months off work. I called probably 20 lawyers and one of them referred me to Micheal. My case settled in 11 weeks for the maximum amount — unfortunately they weren’t properly insured but the settlement was the best I could have gotten. I felt the staff at his office was very supportive and even came to the airport to have me sign everything before I flew home to Michigan. I’m grateful that I had this help after this tragic fall. I highly recommend this law office

I walked out of a business carrying my new product and their entry had was iced up and I slipped and broke not only the item I just bought & picked up but both my ankle and wrist. I talked to the business & they gave me the run around. I contacted Michael and was able to relax. He not only got all my medical paid, I got a refund on the item (it was very expensive), and I got some for pain & suffering. If I ever have another personal injury of any kind, I'm not even going to try talking to anyone but Michael Mazon because I know he will go above & beyond!

I’m not a person prone to writing reviews.
My positive experience dealing with Seattle Law Offices and, specifically, Mike Mazon compelled me to do so.
I was involved in a car accident in which I sustained injury’s to my neck and back.
I needed help. I knew I would need someone who would fight for me.
From the minute I walked into Mazon’s office, I felt comfortable with Mike and his staff. They made me feel important. They were professional without being stuffy. They didn’t talk above me and made sure I understood what was happening throughout the entire process. That was vital to me. Most importantly, Mike worked with me. Not just for me. I knew I had come to the right place. I retained Mike and his staff, then and there. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I hired Mr. Mazon to represent us in two cases with successful outcomes that exceeded my expectations. We found him to be compassionate and he and his staff were courteous and communicative through the process. I don't recommend people lightly, but I have recommended Mr. Mazon to three different friends who have sought out his expertise and each had similarly successful results. Competency and experience count; and Mr. Mazon has a wealth of both.

I recently had the privilege of working with Matthew Cunanan to draft my living will, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, Matthew demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, efficiency, and empathy, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
One of the standout qualities of Matthew's service was his remarkable ease to work with. He guided me through each step of the process, ensuring that I understood all aspects of my living will and addressing any concerns or questions I had along the way. His clear communication and willingness to listen made me feel heard and understood, fostering a sense of trust and confidence in his expertise.
Matthew's thoughtfulness and understanding were evident throughout our interactions. He took the time to truly understand my wishes and priorities, tailoring the living will to suit my specific needs and circumstances. His compassionate approach made a potentially daunting task feel manageable, and I appreciated his genuine care for my well-being and that of my loved ones.
Thanks to Matthew's expertise and dedication, I now have peace of mind knowing that I have a comprehensive living will in place to protect my sons in the event of unforeseen circumstances. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring thorough documentation instilled in me a sense of security, knowing that my wishes will be carried out as intended.
I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Cunanan to anyone in need of living will services. His professionalism, efficiency, and compassionate approach make him a standout choice in this field. Working with Matthew was not only easy and quick but also reassuring and empowering. I am grateful for his assistance and would not hesitate to seek his expertise again in the future.

Sarah has taken us from incorporation through investment trademarking and every other thing that has come up. She is smart, fast, responsive and has the answers you need.
She is also ably assisted which is really important when it comes to saving money and getting great service. She only gets involved when real legal decision making is required, otherwise everything runs smoothly under her review.
Working under the auspice of Davis Wright Tremain (DWT.COM) means you have instant credibility with investors because you are working with a blue chip firm and you have access to specialist resources (IP etc) whenever you may need them.
I originally looked at the least expensive way to get legal help and after some research happily discovered that this was it.

Sarah is a solid asset to any deal team doing work domestically or internationally. As outside counsel for a fast growing company, Sarah was the primary point person for multiple strategic transactions including: fundraising, cross-border M&A, sensitive regulatory dealings, and managing through constantly changing corporate/market demands.
I've worked with Sarah multiple times over a 4-5 year period and I look forward to our next engagement.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Seattle, 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.

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. -

Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes. -
Pen and Notebook:
Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed. -
