Shira is a really amazing lawyer. Over the course of a year, I was charged with 5 crimes in Seattle. All of it was bogus. Shira got 4 of the 5 charges totally dismissed, but the City of Seattle wanted to take the last charge to trial. After a two day full trial, the jury gave me an acquittal after only a few minutes of deliberation. Shira did a masterful job throughout the entire process in both negotiating with the city, as well as digging in to fight the hard fight in trial. She helped to save my business. I give her my highest recommendation.

We hired Bridget to represent us while appealing unreasonable disciplinary action imposed by a school's athletic director. We had never challenged the system before so it was very helpful to have legal representation, direction and advice. Bridget was professional and knowledgable in the area we hired her for. We ended up winning our case and I would recommend her services.

Shira represented me during a crisis. The man convicted of stalking me, who I had a protective order against, sought a retaliatory protective order against me after his incarceration. Although it was baseless, it was terrifying to now have to defend myself against false accusations. Luckily I didn’t have to do it alone. Shira was compassionate, knowledgeable, honest, and committed to helping me get justice. She had great follow-through in our communication so I was never left wondering. She was thorough in preparing a factual and evidenced defense; even though it seemed easy to defend against the allegations in a civil hearing, Shira diligently prepared me for all possible outcomes. The judge dismissed it. Shira is the Seattle-area defense attorney you want fighting for you when you’re facing your own crisis.

When Shira & I first went to court, I was offered a plea deal. Shira counselled me that she was confident she could get the case dismissed if I trusted her judgement. Not only did she go above and beyond to research & provide a stellar defense, she was able to get all the evidence in my case thrown out, she also worked with me on a payment schedule so that I could afford to pay $1,500 in vehicle registration fees before our court date while still being able to retain and gladly pay for her services. In my opinion Shira is one of the best Seattle Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Nice guy and got the job done on schedule. I would recommend him for any business or settlement negotiation.

I hired Bridget when my child was denied residency at UW. She was great to work with, really grasped the issues, and most importantly, we won our case.

Very honest person.

Clarity, conviction and consideration were all delivered to Deep Green Extracts at just the right time and in the person of Anne van Leynseele. As legacy medical cannabis producers in WA, we were challenged by the transition from our historic to a regulated producer status. Ms van Leynseele helped us to lay past issues to rest and position our firm for the future while honoring our commitment to herbal healing. Her commitment to our mission was on point as she steered us through multiple negotiations and opportunities. Deep Green Extracts would not exist today without her and her team's timely and sage advice and services. Catharine "Grandma Cat" Founder, Deep Green Extracts USA

I have been working with Anne Van Leynseele for over a year on pending I 502 Tier 2 producer and processor licenses. Throughout this time period there have been many ups and downs, one thing that has remained constant is Anne's professionalism, diligence, and hard work. In a highly regulated and at times very frustrating industry, Anne has been a steadying force. She has always been available any time of day or night to answer questions or concerns. We have had many conversations on a Saturday or Sunday well passed standard office hours. I have worked with many Attorneys and Anne Van Leynseele is by far the absolute best I have ever had the pleasure to work with.

Navigating legal weed successfully takes deeps understanding, the ability to pivot on a dime and respectful relationships. Anne brings those to the table along with legal and practical strategic advice. Including Anne on our team helps me sleep at night with the confidence we are taking the correct steps in our business.
