So, we bought a new roof from an independent roofing contractor. I checked out all three of his…read morereferences. I was careful since i had just had a bad experience with a deck contractor. All the references gave the guy shining reviews. And his price was great. At the point where the roof was 90% done and most of the payments to the roofer had been made I decided to checkout my suspicions that something was very wrong. The roof looked wrong. It was a metal roof and I could see places where there were holes in it. It took me quite awhile to find a Roof Inspector. This is a rare breed nowadays. the Inspector told me the entire roof would have to be ripped off and we'd have to start over. I felt so stupid. I had been duped again. The Inspector referred me to Ted Watts. I told him i was ready to give up since the bond would only cover a small percentage of what I lost. But Ted said he could get the bond even though it wasn't in his county. I received the bond check in the mail six months later. I just think he did a great job.

I had a civil case regarding real property. My attorney, Amy Meharry at Oseran Hahn, ran up…read more$70,000 in fees over two years before counseling me to submit an insurance claim. The claim was accepted by the insurance company and we immediatelt switched counsel...but not before Oseran Hahn soaked up $70K in fees. On top of that, I found the strategy employed and the case argued to be well, well below my expectations. At the very end I called a strategy session to start driving my own defense. If you are going to work with Amy then do your own research and if you are confident in your strategy then insist on it. Don't just follow their recommendations...unless you are prepared to pay a BIG bill. They seem to be self-serving.

I am of course very grateful to my attorney who very skillfully got me to the finish line, but I am as well so grateful to Justin Sedell for his invaluable help, support and advise when I needed it most. Our divorce had reached an impasse and needed a new direction. This is when I came to consult with Justin. Justin had come highly recommended to me as the person I needed to consult, and this is what I did, twice, within a few months. He calmly assessed the situation, respectful of all involved, untangling the situation I was in, giving me direction and advise on how to move forward. He could have easily taken my case over, but his professionalism was such that he advised me on what to do to save our situation and move my case forward, which is what I did. At the same time, he kept himself available would I need any extra help, at any time, for any legal matter. His assessment of the situation was completely accurate as the outcome showed it, his advise was what got us back on track with our divorce, his support at such a challenging time was invaluable. I would highly recommend Justin for legal consulting, as this is the capacity I have known him.

I first met Esquire Shana Thompson in 2011 when I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my…read moredivorce and child custody case. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism. She is honest and thorough in her assessment and approach. I left the court room overjoyed, a father with custody of his two sons. They were 3 and 5 at that time and many people said that could never happen (guess they didn't have the right attorney). She has since helped me with modifications of custody and child support with successful outcomes every time. My sons are now 12 and 14, and I couldn't be prouder of who they are. I have Shana to thank for her crucial part in making that happen. I can not imagine that anyone could have done a better job of representing me.

I was very impressed at my first meeting with Shana Thompson. To be honest she is very experienced…read moreand competent as a divorce attorney. Going through divorce is kinda not easy at all specially if there's a 18 month old baby involved. Having that in mind I had already made my mind to try to resolve my divorce through mediation. And honestly Shana seemed to be very much geared towards mediation too. I switched from another attorney to Shana through a very good reference. The first red flag was when my previous attorney sent a release form and it took Shana and her team a few days to figure out that it was buried in their spam. It started little difficult to get through to Shana. I ended up responded by her other partners Kim and Donald. Again they are both amazing people and very competent. But the problem I have is that I was very clear and upfront with Shana at our first meeting that I wanted Shana to deal with my case even after she quoted me her rates nearly double of her other partners. And she said okay. After a few more phone calls I was stuck with an issue the my wife had switched my daughter's day care. And I had no idea where she was taking my daughter to. I asked Shana if she could check with wife's attorney about the contact info of my daughter's new day care and some tax docs that she had provide. During these discussions I also mentioned to Shana that if I could ask for interrogatories if wife too as her attorney has requested. Shana asked me if it's retaliatory then DON'T DO IT. Her advice really made sense. And she confirmed that she would email my wife's attorney regarding my concerns. We waited for my wife's attorney and when I did not get any response. I reached out to Shana again. This time I was responded by Kim and that was on March 18th, 2019. She did send an email to my wife's attorney on the same day regarding my concerns. No reply at all regarding this. I had called Shana again to help me fill out the interrogatories and I had an appointment with Donald to help me complete the interrogatories. Thanks for helping me out Donald, he really did a great job. During this 3-4 hour session with Donald I met Kim and I asked her if she has heard back from my wife's attorney? She said no and proposed that I should ask for interrogatories too and they will have to respond with in 30 days. Here's the problem when you are dealing with 2 or three partners and at the same time going through divorce dilemma. I was kinda getting conflicting advice from two partners of the same firm. On March 27th, 2019 I tried reaching out Shana and I was told that she's on a phone call. I was waiting for her call and received a call from Donald returning on Shana's behalf. I asked about any reply from my wife's attorney regarding my daughter's day care and my tax docs. I was told that there has been no response. So I asked Donald to please kindly ask Shana to give me a call. Didn't receive any call from her at all. But in fact I received an email from Donald confirming that my wife's attorney had responded to Kim's email on March 19th, 2019 with my tax docs and the day care contact information. And Donald claimed that Kim was busy and he was busy etc etc. now from March 01st till yesterday I was under the impression that my wife was deliberately holding on to my tax docs and my daughter's day care info to kinda frustrate me. I really got sold on the idea of asking her for interrogatories. I noticed that the email was Shana and Kim both. No one bothered forwarding it to me for literally 10 days. I haven't met my daughter since March 01st, so every single day matters. My personal tax return filling has been on hold for this doc which has been sitting in Shana's email just because she's busy. I would never recommend Shana or her firm under any circumstances to any one, not because they incompetent but they definitely are negligent.

I consulted Nidal Dirini at Helsell Fetterman for a WLAD discrimination case against a state…read moreagency. While the firm did waive the consultation fee after I explained my financial situation, I had concerns about the contingency agreement and the process overall: Fee Structure: The contract required me to pay 33-45% of the total recovery, including any court-awarded attorney fees. At the time, I didn't realize that under WLAD, defendants are supposed to pay attorney fees separately from damages. After my consultation, I did my own research and learned this is known as "double-dipping," which can significantly reduce a client's net recovery. Case Valuation: During our conversation, Nidal told me he did not see my claim reaching six figures. He seemed to undervalue the potential of my case, which prompted me to do more research on my own. Later, I discovered published cases like Snell v. DSHS, where plaintiffs in similar or even weaker positions received much larger verdicts. Contract Terms: I found the firm was not flexible on contract terms related to medical liens, termination penalties, or interest rates-terms I now know are important for client protection. Second Opinion: Weeks/months later after our discussion, I requested to speak with another attorney at the firm who specialized in employment law. I did not receive a response, which left me feeling unsupported. For anyone considering this firm: Make sure you understand how court-awarded attorney fees will be handled in your case. Do your own research on case values and contract terms. Be aware that you may not get a second opinion if you disagree with the initial assessment. I only give 1-star or 5-star reviews-pass or fail. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this firm for WLAD discrimination cases.
