You should definitely come to this firm! They have friendly service and made dealing with my car accident so much easier. I appreciate the support Yohannes and Michael provided :)

Yohannes and his team was very helpful with the getting started process! It was great to have that after dealing with the stress from the insurance company. Highly recommend! Thank you

Mr. Karimi is a down to earth lawyer that will fight for justice. I hate the reason for having to hire him, but I'm glad I did.

Great attorney, listened to me and my needs. He was by my side the entire process. He got my felony dismissed. My life would have been ruined if I didn’t have Mr Karimi on my case.

I was so scared that I was going to go to jail and lose my license. None of those things happened! She explained everything so well and made the situation so much less scary for me. She fought so hard for me and I’m very grateful for her guidance and the best outcome possible!

Soo happy with what I got back from my car accident! Took some time but Yohannes and his team stayed on top of things ! Highly recommend

Bridget is too professional, it seems to me that she loves the profession, from the first moment she makes you feel like family, I highly recommend her and Miya her assistant is a great team

I struggled with even writing a review like this but my hope is to save someone else from having the same experience. Bridget took my retainer and did absolutely nothing for my case, and then couldn’t even provide me with a billing statement when I finally gave up on trying to work with her. Absolutely nothing was done, literally. My time and money was completely wasted. Do NOT give your money to this person!

I was made aware of a misdemeanor charge, over 11 years old, stemming from a protest that I attended in 2011. I learned of this while applying for licensure with a nursing board and immediately began searching for qualified criminal defense attorneys in Seattle. A colleague of Shira referred me to her, and I am so thankful that he put me in touch with Shira. Caring, extremely competent, deeply knowledgeable, loyal, steadfastly determined and dedicated to her clients. These are just a small list of the superlatives that I could use to describe Shira and her work. She talked me through the case, fought for me to be seen quickly, and got the charge dismissed after very quickly getting the warrant quashed. I consider Shira an excellent attorney, a friend, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Satisfied with my settlement. Very communicative, expains things well, i would recommend yohannas.

I never thought I would need to hire a lawyer. I never imagined I would have a warrant out for my arrest. Never in my wildest dreams could I ever have thought up a scenario where someone would lie to the police, accusing me of a crime when there was zero basis to the claims. All three of these happened to me on the same night. I had led a law-abiding life, never needed a lawyer or had very little understanding of our legal system. A women attacked me, and my credibility maliciously, with lies that were no way close to the truth and told the Seattle PD that I had sexually assaulted her. A warrant had been issued for my arrest, and I had no idea her claims had been made almost a year prior. I contacted a lifelong friend who was an attorney and asked for help. He isn’t involved in criminal law at all, and told me to hold on, and let him do a little research for me. About an hour later he called back, and said, “Call Shira, she’s the best, you want her on your side!” I immediately went to Google and typed in Shira Stefanik and started reading. The next morning, I called Shira, and explained why I needed her. I explained what had happened, and I explained the lies that I was being accused of. Shira listened for a solid hour, just taking notes. After I was done talking, she started asking me questions, wanting to know more about certain aspects, trying to learn more about me as a person. I felt like we were a team from the get-go, she was caring, yet firm. She explained the law, she explained the legal system in Washington and most importantly, she told me what to expect and about how long the process to show my innocence would take. In the end, Shira was right about everything. Going through something like this is traumatic, scary and maddening; but Shira was always there to talk and listen. I can’t thank her enough for supporting me, putting the work to show my innocence. Her connections with local judges, city attorneys, and fellow lawyers were helpful. It was very clear to me, that Shira is very well respected by her peers. When it came to advocating for me and what was right, Shira was fierce and aggressive. Her style was something I could identify with. She wanted to prove the truth, as badly I as I wanted to show my innocence. When the city attorneys determined that there were too many lies to pursue charges against me, resulting in them dropping the case, I told Shira that I couldn’t have done it without her, and her support and friendship meant so much. Shira is fierce, she is a winner, and you want her on your side!
