Ed was thorough in giving us insights, possible strategies to use, and an overview of what to expect moving forward. We feel his insights and advice have greatly strengthened our case. He stated we didn't need an attorney yet but invited us to schedule a future consultation with him if needed. I recommend Ed Younglove based on this consultation. If we need to hire an attorney at some point, Ed's the one we'll go with.

It took me a few years because I felt humiliated & angry that I just want to forget what happened to me but I always thought about it. So here is my review. I would never signed up with this law firm if I only knew the way they mishandled my case. When it was time to show up in the courthouse, I was met by another attorney that I never met before. The attorney at that time never gave me the reason why Greg Rhodes did not attend that day. I was confused & shocked. That attorney never even say a word in my behalf during the court proceeding. That attorney just asked me if I want to appeal the judge's decision against my case. I just said NO and left. I spent thousands of dollars with Greg Rhodes and felt that Greg just took advantaged of me. I will advise everyone to look for another attorneys to hire if they want a good and honest legal representation. I hope this review is useful to you.

We received a summons, and facing a no-cause eviction so we gave Ms. Powell a call. We also emailed…read morea 2-page detailed document explaining our situation. I believe she did not read or understand our situation as stated in the document, as her advice was absolutely horrible. First, she said our landlord could take it to trial, and it will "tank" our credit. Well, it would not tank our credit, as it had nothing to do w/ non-payment of rent (we were up-to-date and current with our rent) - this was a NO-CAUSE eviction. Secondly, when I asked about the landlord putting the wrong address on the lease, she said the incorrect address would have "no traction at all." However, this played a huge role in our defense as the landlord was committing bank fraud by claiming our rental was owner occupied. The address on our lease was his physical address (across the street) so he could misrepresent our rental as his occupied residence. Thirdly, the lease was never properly executed. The landlord emailed us a copy, we signed and emailed it back but never received a signed copy in return. (We did not know at the time the address was different as we lived out-of-state.) Our case had a lot more to this (as stated in my 2-page detailed document), but I only highlighted a few of the issues that Ms. Powell responded to with her "advice". In addition, we were only asking to stay in the rental 2-3 more months until our new house was built. Ms. Powell also advised that "it would be better" to just move out before we could be evicted. This would mean finding temporary housing, moving our 4-bedroom house into storage and then moving it from storage into the new house, and boarding 3 pets. We hired another lawyer who listened to our story and was extremely confident we had a strong case. He turned out to be a godsend and we won with flying colors. Do yourself a favor, if you have a case with a variety of twists & turns like we had, find another lawyer who can handle something more complicated. Perhaps this was above Ms Powell's capabilities or she did not care, as after our first call and a couple of email exchanges, she never bothered to return any further calls from us.

I had a very unpleasant, unprofessional, and upsetting experience with Henderson Law Group's…read moreparalegal Lori Zander. I contacted Henderson Law Group because I am seeking to find *local* legal help for assistance with closing a family member's estate and creating a will for myself. Lori Zander returned my call promptly, but was rude and belittling when it turned out I was confused whether or not the estate had gone to probate, seemed to find it suspicious that I was seeking a new law firm in Olympia rather than continuing to work with a high-priced attorney in Seattle even after I explained I had relocated to Thurston County, and in general spoke to me with a tone of superiority and disdain. Apologies that I am not as fluent in the law and legal terms as you, Lori, but that's why I'm seeking assistance! I thanked Lori for all of her "help" and was relieved that she seemed to forget that I was also seeking to create a will. No need to discuss any other legal needs with Henderson Law Group after this unpleasant experience! I'll continue seeking local lawyers who don't treat their potential clients with plain condescension. Two stars only because the receptionist I spoke with was friendly and professional, and Lori Zander did return my call promptly.

When I told Matthew Ennis I couldn't afford a 450 dollar consultation he basically showed me the door and told me to go somewhere else. For several years I have been trying to get the attention of lawyers but I was passed over and over because of money reasons and they didn't care. According to Mr Ennis justice is for the rich.

The young attorney still wanted to charge $200/hr, even though when you go through NW Legal Justice project, the lawyers are supposed to give you a discount. I had visited the law library before and spoken to experienced lawyers who told me what to do and told me I definately needed a lawyer. (I am dealing with an argumentative, abusive ex husband who I still coown realestate with. He was living at the property without paying the mortgage. He has destroyed my credit and since then, before being court ordered to move out, trashed the place, throwing a chair through a very large expensive window and leaving urine on the floor. Among many other things.) After explaining my situation to this young lawyer in a fancy suit, he told me I didn't need an attourney, and, "why can't you just talk to your ex husband? I don't think you need an attourney at this point." I told him I can't talk to him, thats why the marriage didn't work etc. This was incredibly frustrating at a time when I didn't need another frustration. I eventually found a great attorney through NW legal Justice Project named Brian Murray ((253) 227-0304 brianmurry@murrylawoffice.com). He is located in Puyallup.

Roger Schweinler and his paralegals were very considerate of my limited funds and did not suggest frivolous things to run up my bill like the attorney I had before did. Communication was almost exclusively through his very competent paralegals which kept attorney fees low, and he did his job so I didn't have to worry. I ran out of money with my first attorney, so I thought I would finish out the divorce on my own. That was until my ex filed a motion to modify temporary child and spousal support orders. I was able to gather enough money to hire Roger Schweinler who went to that hearing and won it for me so everything stayed the same and my ex had to pay attorney fees for that hearing! As time went on, my ex came around and we were able to come to an agreement on final orders without having it go to trial or even mediation! Roger Schweinler and Kyra Warner finished up all the paperwork and it was done! Thank you guys so much!
