I believe this was one of the most difficult cases the industry has seen. Without Janet, we would not know where my brother is today. His wife was going to take him out of the country to one with social and "free" medical where she has dual citizenship. My brother who saved a million dollars for his retirement is now reduced to go on State pay medical. Due to his wife gambling ALL the money away. It is important that you have the right representation for your case. Know the RCW Laws for the vulnerable adults and that spouses have a fiduciary duty to their spouse. We are grateful to Janet Smith. Without her help, we would be lost and sad and no know where our brother is. Thank you, Janet. You are our saving grace.

Ohana has been a guardian for my sweet brother, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's…read more They were referred to us by our attorney. I'll be honest, the beginning was rough. The first guardian assigned to us, Pat, had very little bedside manner toward me or my brother, and it was a shock to suddenly lose all say in his care and decisions. It's difficult to hand over control to someone who doesn't yet know your loved one. Over time, though, Pat and I learned how to work together. I never doubted that she had my brother's best interests at heart, and I think she came to see that I did too. I was always there for him -- meeting him at the hospital, going to appointments, and staying with him which helped both Pat and my brother, and also eased his financial burden. After Pat retired, Beth stepped in temporarily, and then Quinn became his permanent guardian. Beth and Quinn have been absolute delights to work with. We are now approaching 11 years with Ohana, and as we enter what feels like "the beginning of the end" for my sweet brother, I am deeply grateful for their continued care and support. The entire Ohana team has been wonderful in helping us navigate my brother's estate and care. If you are fortunate enough to have someone like Beth or Quinn assigned to you, you've truly won the lottery. They are compassionate, dedicated professionals who always put the well-being of your loved one first. This has been a long, emotional journey -- but having Quinn's support through it all has been a blessing. She has worked tirelessly for my brother and has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you, Quinn, for your kindness, dedication, and care.

I knew there were other more experienced elder care lawyers in Seattle; but I chose her for location only. My grief was too huge to comprehend what she told me in the 31/2 hrs. we met. She asked for a number of other things like $6000 up front and the name and number of a lawyer I had worked with in another state. My emotions got in the way of making a better choice, including one who did not ask for a retainer at all. I was unable to read any of the scribbles she put on paper; nor was my financial advisor. I realized when I spoke with the Denver lawyer on the phone and when I looked at some notes from a well spouse support group, that I could do much better. So I made some phone calls and fired Julianne. She refunded all but $1500. Perhaps because she knew that our former attorney was the former president of the Washington Elder Care Attorneys, the refund was quick and complete. The lesson I took away from this horrible experience was: Never pick a lawyer by location! In fact, the lawyer I finally chose a month later told me that he would never have recommended what she was recommending to me. By the way he charged a flat fee for his services and told me that I could call him, and email him about this for as long as I needed to with no money involved.

IMO his style of representation does not lean towards peaceful resolution. Everything we received from him was laced with threats of further litigation and "his fees" - not resolving issues and not moving forward in a positive manner. We finally found a competent, respected lawyer to assist us in navigating Mr Brunstrom's unethical attack. Our lawyer who was very well respected as an Elder Law Specialist was dumbfounded by the nature of Brunstrom's correspondence and demands. The only truly sad part of this is that by the time we got to see the family, too much time had elasped and our relative was to the point where the relative was having issues wit dementia, thus, mk
