I had a consultation with Attorney Laura Umetsu last week and she was extremely helpful. I felt like she truly cared about my case and gave me plenty of resources to help guide me. She also took the time to personally introduce me to a lawyer that specializes in exactly what I needed guidance on. Will definitely refer others to her and highly recommend her.

Laura helped ease our worries by answering lots of questions regarding modifying an existing parenting plan with a resistant ex spouse, how to act in accordance with what is best for the child, and how to protect ourselves legally for the foreseeable future from all legal obligations and risk. Fantastic attorney with keen discernment of the law and justice. She does the hard work of understanding your situation/case and also has the knowledge and credibility to help client's understand their options. Highly recommend.

I had reached out to this attorney and she replied in a timely manner. Although she was unable to assist, she gave a referral to another attorney who might be able to help.

I would strongly recommend Laura on legal matters pertaining to the rights of people with disabilities. She displayed compassion, as well as a fighting spirit to defend the rights of my daughter. I was completely confident in her representation. I understood what and why steps were taken because Laura answered my many questions and laid out potential consequences of various scenarios. I felt my battle was hers. She is tenacious. I value her services and highly recommend her.

Laura is amazing. She helped me throughout the most confusing and scariest time of my life in obtaining a protection order agents my abusive husband. The first time I met with Laura I knew she was going to be the one to help save my life. She helped me through every process and explained every step in our court battle. My husband comes from a family with money and is extremely manipulative, I knew the moment I left him the fight for mine and my children's safety was going to be difficult, emotional and dangerous. Laura always put our safety and security as a number one on her priorities. She went above and beyond in accommodating me and my extremely young children, she would even bring activities for the kids when we would meet up, and they too absolutely adore her! When we fled the small town we are from and came to the Seattle area I was overwhelmed and had no idea where anything was or how to effeciantly get around. Laura didn't just show up to our court hearings, she went out of her way to help me in finding affordable parking and using the bus line. She is not only professional, understanding, caring and passionate, she made me feel safe. Laura answered my calls no matter the time of night and responded to my emails quickly and attentively. There were times I could not have moved forward without her and her strength. I can't express how greatful I am to have had her on my side, I still to this day, months later, think of how hard she fought and the strength she gave me when I needed it the most.

Laura knows what she's doing you can trust her. She helped me with 3 tickets and none of them got into my record. A total blessing!! She is kind and understanding. And always there to help. Would totally recommend her!!!

I had never worked with an attorney before and Laura was truly a blessing. I was being harassed by a previous partner. She helped me through the process of a petitioning for a protection order and defend against false assault and rape allegations. Laura is passionate about her work with victims of domestic violence and, most importantly, she genuinely cares about my well being. If I ever need help again, I know that I can trust her and would not hesitate to contact her again. Thank you so much!

Laura is very compassionate and very non-judgmental. She helped me resolve my issue quickly and in my favor. She explained every step of our process and made recommendations and outlined my options thoroughly. I truly felt that she was on my side the whole time. She is also very reasonable and flexible.

Laura represented me for my traffic infraction. She was very professional and was able to get my ticket deferred even though it was a serious offense, It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend her to anyone else needing representation for a traffic infraction.

Laura is very knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. I highly recommend her services. Laura helped me with an issue I was having with a former employer. She was able to provide me with options and resolved the issue quickly. She answered all of my questions and emails quickly and effectively. She also has expertise in business and management, and provided me with very helpful advice on how I could proceed in my career without the issue at hand ruining my future plans. I had full confidence she would resolve my situation, but I had no idea how quickly I would have peace of mind! I highly recommend hiring Laura to handle your case.

Laura is a compassionate, responsive, and intelligent lawyer. She pays attention to detail, kept me informed through the whole process and she gave 110% to everything she did. Laura is a good communicator, very effective, and able to get the job done. She is respectful to everyone she comes into contact with and a strong advocate for her clients. Her compassion and ethics shine through by her willingness to take on clients who do not have the resources to fight for their legal rights. I highly recommend Laura Umetsu.

Working with Laura was a simply a delight. She exhibits a strong work ethic and high level to the attention of detail as well as sensitivity to handle all the moving parts associated with my case. In our working relationship each appointment made was held in a timely matter with no long waits between phone or email inquiries. When meeting in person to discuss details she arrived early if not on time, letting me know I was a priority. It was easy to talk to Laura during our counsel sessions and she guided me through the legal jargon of the court system with ease. Laura exhibits a level of professionalism that radiates strength, grace, and sublime audacity. I would recommend my friends, family, and colleagues to her for legal counsel and services. And if/when the time arises will come to her first to advice my case, I trust her tactics in law and observance of ethics.
