To share my experience working with Attorney David Rose. While initially I had high hopes for his representation, several issues arose that significantly impacted my case and my trust in his abilities. I Hired Mr. Rose for a collection of judgement from a previous divorce handled by his office. Throughout the course of my case, there were instances where communication was lacking. Emails and phone calls often went unanswered, and I frequently had to follow up multiple times to get a response. This lack of responsiveness made it challenging to stay informed about the status of my case and caused a great deal of frustration. David Rose failed to meet critical deadlines, which had serious consequences for my case. Important responses were not filed on time, and his failure to provide timely responses led to unnecessary delays. These delays not only extended the duration of my case but additional hearings and "preparation" charged also added to my legal expenses. His approach appeared to lack strategic planning and coherence, leading to a waste of both time and money. Overall, my experience with David Rose was disappointing and frustrating. I would advise others to consider this when selecting representation. I terminated our agreement to hire another attorney to finish my case and requested a refund of my funds from the trust and although he never filed a motion and never appeared to a hearing or made any movement on my case he claims he used all of my trust and actually billed me for additional money. David rose and his office sent letter communications to an address I did not provide to them and had no resided at for 4 years. I never received any written communication because from him because of this.

When I initially called for an appointment, I paid $90 for our initial case review. (That's the only appointment we had) they gave my daughter some paperwork, told her to fill it out and return it after she received her 1st paycheck ( she hadn't even started her job yet) then they would start building her case. I gave them a $3800 retainer. My daughter didn't fill out or return the paperwork. Two days later, she called them and said she was going back to florida because her daughter has T1D and was having medical issues. She wouldn't be filing her divorce here. They said no problem. They would give our money back. 3 weeks later, after I went down there 3 times and called twice about getting my money back they refunded me $2980.So this initial appointment cost me $90+ $820. The first time I went down there (5 days after my daughter told them she wouldn't be needing their services), David Rose told me he was refunding my $3800. I went down there today. No-one was there, the door was open, there were files and laptops open on the table, which makes me wonder how secure they're operation is. Now, if I were to got my $820 back, I'd consider updating my review. Again, it took 3 WEEKS to get my money back. This has caused much anxiety and frustration.

Although I have not been represented by Robin, I have witnessed his work and if I need an attorney in the future, he is the one I will be calling. He does what is necessary to get the case competed in a timely manner with a no nonsense, professional approach.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Hawkins Law! I head the pleasure of working with Brian and Kjirsten on an eviction case. I haven’t dealt with attorneys much in my life so I was a bit apprehensive reaching out… I’m happy to say they exceeded my expectations on every level. Brian was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining things thoroughly along the way. I was also very impressed with their communication and follow up. I was never in the dark and it was extremely reassuring to know that things were moving along in a timely manner. I definitely recommend this team with anything you might need an attorney for!

Jeff really knows his stuff. I went in to get my estate plan reviewed and fixed. When my husband died, I realized that I really didn't know what our status was. My husband had always used Minnick for many years. Jeff is definitely a little bit intimidating at first, but it's just because he takes his job very seriously. By the end of our first meeting, we were laughing and I was really comfortable. Turns out, he knows lots of details about trusts, and he gave me many options. He explained things so well and he was so patient. I felt very comfortable and I know my legal affairs are done right and in good hands. Very sharp young man!

    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Walla Walla, Washington?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
