I have known Mr. KOLKE for years now, and am still impressed with how knowledgeable he is. He worked hard this time around to help me get custody of my daughter, and get her out of a really bad living situation with her alcoholic mother, and boyfriend. Family law is confusing, scary, expensive the list goes on it's probably the worst experience ever. Desmond through it all made my daughter's safety, and well being his number one priority. Thank you so much Des sometimes the good guys win.

Jemima McCullum is an outstanding Real Estate Attorney there

I had the opportunity to speak with Jocelyn Stewart for a brief consultation and felt that she took great care and time to answer the few questions that I had. Without hesitation, she would be my first call if I were to ever need legal services. Her answers to me were thorough, confident, and well-informed. Despite the brief nature of the call, I still felt that she took the time to understand my questions and provide thorough feedback.

I was referred to Attorney James Banks after talking with an acquaintance about a car accident that I had where someone rear ended me on the freeway 2 years prior. I was telling him how my 3 years statute of limitation was coming up and I would probably settle. He strongly encouraged me to talk with Mr. Banks, reminding me that the reason we have insurance is to pay for damages caused by these kinds of accidents and insurance companies do what they can to pay as little as they can to compensate. I am very grateful for his advise and I commend Attorney James Banks for the incredible job he did with negotiating a settlement for my car accident. Because of his commitment to working through all the details and gathering all the information needed and working with the courts and the other insurance company, I was able to not worry that things were being handled. In the end I received a much better settlement than I would have, had I "just settled". I realized then, how little the insurance companies care about an individual and the pain they suffer due to an accident from one of their insured drivers. Mr. Banks knows the laws and what is fair, and will do a thorough and complete job of fighting for your rights and well-being. I hope I never have another situation to need his services again but if I do, He will be the one that I call. Thanks James!

Set up an over the phone consultation with one of your attorneys. Phone call happened at 3:00 pm today 10/11. The most unprofessional display of potential representation I have encountered. Child support is the main concern of mine as the state has requested a review due to my child’s mother’s seeking state assistance due to her late husband’s passing. the attorney I spoke to had enough audacity to say she doesn’t do “pro Bono” work. I had $13,000 set aside for your company as a retainer when the ask was $4,500. Complete trash from your attorney for that comment. Avoid this company at all costs. Way better options that don’t rush to judgment. Will update with attorneys name once I call back tomorrow to confirm who I spoke with. Terrible terrible terrible. Avoid avoid avoid

I would highly recommend working with James Banks. The insurance company I was dealing with was giving me the eternal runaround and my case wasn't the easiest to prove. James quickly digested a lot of complex details and secured a settlement. He then advised me on the options for moving forward and went back to the insurance company and secured the projected maximum settlement. He went above and beyond for me and I could not be happier. Zero hesitations about recommending him and he will be my go-to recommend to friends and family going forward.

Absolutely Horrible….we paid Desmond $10k just to help us fight paying POST secondary child support to a money hungry, lazy ex who spends her money on Botox and hair extensions, chooses not to work, has received tens of thousands of dollars from unemployment and hasn’t made a house payment in two years! Yet still accuses us of being the bad guys. Desmond’s communication was poor to say the least - no communication for weeks - no returned phone calls or emails, adding stress to a stressful situation. Desmond pushed out our court date just to get paid more. Now we’re out $10,000 AND paying for what should have been $0…he did nothing, $10k for his stamp on a paper. We chose him based off great reviews but all must have been bogus, just like the his confidence and appearance of reassurance during the initial consultation. We hate Washington State and would NEVER refer Desmond to anyone - even if he has 40 blah, blah years of experience. To top it off, now she’s taking us back to court for it all again and asking for documents we gave Desmond multiple times, yet he never submitted to the court.

If you are looking for an expert lawyer who knows military law and court proceedings inside and out, who will provide candid and accurate advice when you need it most, and will fight as hard or harder for your case then you would yourself then look no further than Sean Mangan. As parents with a son facing a court martial after being wrongfully accused we wanted the absolute best lawyer possible and we will be forever grateful we chose Sean. He kept us informed every step of the way, answered all of our questions with patience and helped us understand a very technical process. Sean was amazing in the courtroom displaying his outstanding knowledge of the law and the rights of the accused. We would absolutely recommend Sean to any other parents facing a similar situation and the peace of mind you will receive from knowing you have someone with Sean's experience, integrity and expertise fighting for your cause is well worth the cost.

Charles was very professional, he explained in ways that I understood..

Briefly spoke with Mr. Mangan regarding a complex situation and he took the time to explain things in detail via email. Provided great advise and broke things down as much as he could for free. Most places do not give service members a consultation without a charge, but he did. Would hire him if needed and would definitely recommend anyone who has any possible legal issues to reach out to him or the Law Offices of Jocelyn C. Stewart. FIVE STARS from me.

Simply the best representation anyone could ask for. I had a case that stood very little chance of winning. But Cheryl went beyond the extra mile to do research in my field of expertise so that she was better equipped to defend my case from multiple legal aspects. Cheryl's dedication and thoroughness is the only reason we were able to settle in my favor. Thank you for everything.
