I was suddenly terminated from a job and blamed for something I didn't do. In desperation, I started calling attorneys and no one would take my case because of the power of my employer. These rejections were further damaging to my sense of worth and I became very depressed. Then someone suggested that I call a woman in Tacoma by the name of Virginia ... and the rest is history. Not only did Virginia DeCosta rebuild my confidence and self-worth, through her efforts all of my financial losses were restored. And before it was over, she made my former employers write glowing reference letters that were used to return to work with a much better employer. Through the whole process, I truly believed that this woman cared about me as a person first, and a client second. I have my life back and I owe it to Virginia DeCosta.

I hired Attorney DeCosta for an employment/labor issue with an extremely fast timeline. DeCosta was quick to respond as well as her highly qualified staff. Her staff is warm, friendly and helpful. I was seen within the week and DeCosta was fully prepared to give me all the legal advice I needed for a favorable outcome. Thanks to the DeCosta Law Firm, I received exactly what I hoped for. She is compassionate, caring, extremely bright and willing to go the extra mile to help her clients. I have worked in the legal arena for over 20 years with many attorneys. I highly recommend Virginia DeCosta without reservation.

I received a notice in the main that I owed work source some $20,000 in what they claimed were over payments over a period where they felt I was wrongfully collecting unemployment. It appeared to me as a simple misunderstanding with some of the paperwork and forms I filled out so I decided to represent myself at my first hearing. That was a HUGE mistake. I was belittled and was not fully given an opportunity to present my case to the assigned judge as was promptly given an unjust decision. I then began looking for a lawyer to represent me. I found Ms. DeCosta via a google search and saw that she had some good reviews so I set up an appointment. I was skeptical about how much help I would receive for what it might cost me but I could not afford to pay work source so I took a chance. What a good decision that was! From day one Ms. DeCosta listened to my story and inquired not only about the issue but about other things in my life that ended up helping me quite a bit. Had she not taken the extra time to listen and ask questions I may have had a very different outcome. Ms. Decosta and her staff spent quite a bit of time researching case law and other precedents to validate her arguments and left no stone unturned during her research. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. In the end I was found to not be at fault and absolved of all wrong doing. I for one am very great full for all the hard work and caring effort Ms. Decosta and her staff put in to help my wife and I. Thank you so much and God bless.

Ms. DeCosta handled a case in which my mother-in-law suffered injuries while a patient in a rehabilitation facility. Ms. DeCosta secured expert witnesses and labored many hours working toward a settlement with Medicare and my mother-in-law's secondary insurer to reimburse them for costs incurred while she was a patient. It was a lenghty process. Ms. DeCosta even worked from home because of time zone issues. We received regular updates and e-mails. We are completely satisfied with Ms. DeCosta's expertise and caring.

I was involved in an automobile accident that compromised my ability to work. I work in the freelance world of live TV, and it's important to my clients that when they hire me, I am able to perform all aspects of my job. Virginia was amazing! She was able to present a clear and accurate picture to the mediator of my job requirements, and why I had to turn down work due to my injuries. I think the first impulse is to hurry up and get everything settled with the insurance companies, but Virginia knew that being meticulous in her representation of my case was crucial. That resulted in my being awarded a very generous settlement, believe me, it was much more than I ever thought possible. I am very thankful for the hard work put forth by Virginia and her firm. I genuinely recommend Virginia DeCosta for accident cases. You will have a true advocate in your corner.

I became acquainted with Virginia DeCosta while she was conducting investigative interviews in a sexual harassment case at my place of employment. Upon meeting her, I was immediately put at ease allowing me to speak openly and honestly. Her level of professionalism, dedication, intelligence, and competence exceeded all expectations. Due to the relationship that developed I have continued to seek advice and assistance from the DeCosta law firm. Virginia and her assistant, Jenn, have been invaluable to myself and my family and we would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I hired Virginia DeCosta for a sexual harrasment case. Virgina is one of the most upfront and honest people I know. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear. She tells you the truth and what to prepare yourself for. But she is also caring and compassionate at the same time. Not very people have these qualities. She worked so hard on my case. She would call me days, nights, and even weekends. Not only about the case but to just check on me. I truly appreciated her doing that. I won the case and it was because of her strong beliefs and hard work. There were many times I wanted to give up but Virginia helped me stand up for what is right and to not give up. I not only consider her my attorney but also a good friend. Because of Virginia, there were severe changes made to the place of employment. Sexual harrassment policies were changed and taken more serious. I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone. I'm so very blessed to have met her.

Virginia was recomended by a lawyer I was considering hiring. He was right she was perfect for me. I had never needed a lawyer before and found her assistant Jen friendly and helpful as I blurted out my situation over the phone. Virginia's approach to my work greivance wasn't 'let's sue for as much money as possible' she listened to me and knew I wanted to work things out with my employer. We as a team were able to facilitate an excellent outcome. Call her today, she is worth every dollar!
