I hired Timothy Leary (WSBA# 30355) in July 2015 to represent me in a criminal case. This was the…read moreWORST DECISION OF MY LIFE, I have regretted it every day since. Sorry this is very long but there is so much wrong with what happened. Do not consider him for representation, you too will regret it. You have been warned. Here is why, - He failed to meet the professional standards of conduct in the following ways: - He was unresponsive to communications sent both over email and over the phone. We had to schedule meetings with him twice (On October 22, 2015 and another time) to address the concerns with his unresponsiveness and not meeting the commitments he made, as well as the total lack of progress with my case. - He delayed the scheduling of the trial in the case 10 times despite my desire to progress with the case. Being charged in this case caused me to lose my job and his further delay caused me to not be able to continue with my life. - He showed up late to almost ALL of the court hearings. - On October 15, 2015 he showed up so late to the hearing that the court wrote a warrant for my arrest since he was not there to announce us as present. (Attorneys you pay should HELP you with your situation, not make it worse) He was unapologetic about these actions. - There was further unnecessary delay of the case due to his neglect and mistakes: Leary's reason for delaying the scheduling of the trial on October 15th, 2015 was that he wanted to get copies of the electronics seized in this case by the police. At that point he had been representing me for THREE months and should have already completed these requests, especially since he considered this to be critical prior to scheduling the trial of the case. - He never updated me on the availability of the forensic copies until January 2016. At that time it became clear that he had only requested a copy of one of the devices that was seized when we needed a copy of all of the devices. The police department was able to provide this copy to Leary but never received a response from him as to when it would be picked up. - Dishonesty regarding the investigation: The police had obtained traffic video capturing a portion of what happened that would have been helpful to my case, I asked Leary to request the police for those videos to make sure there was a separate request sent to the police by us for any relevant evidence in the case that may have been forgotten. HE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT HE MADE THE REQUEST TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT but was not able to get any more videos than what had already been provided in the discovery. I later made a public disclosure request to the police department regarding all of the public disclosure requests made regarding the traffic camera videos or the incident and there was no record of a request from Leary! He blatantly lied about his work on my case........ - In February 2016 after waiting for months, Tim Leary finally agreed to move the case to trial. The trial was scheduled to start in March 2016. As of March 10th I notified him of all of the grievances regarding his performance, and the fact that he still had not interviewed any of the witnesses in the case and we only had 20 days until the trial. He responded with a summary of my case regarding the facts that he knew when taking it on in July 2015. This letter demonstrated Leary did not perform an investigation or any other work on his part and I was forced to terminate him as my attorney. - Considering the complete lack of work on his part to investigate or even move the case along I requested him to pay back $14,000 that he received to cover all the work leading to the trial. - - He never responded to me and never provided any payment back. - After terminating Leary as my attorney he was extremely slow with handing over the entire case file to my new attorney. It took several emails, phone calls and weeks for my new attorney to get all of the records back. - It is my personal belief that Mr. Leary must have been overbooked with other cases, has major personal obstacles, or is incompetent. - He never apologized or described what caused his behavior. -Timothy Leary also had his "forensic guy" work on my case, I authorized $300 to $400 for this, I was shocked when I received a bill over $3,000 in order to receive the copy of my hard drive back. My experience with Timothy Leary was horrible and I would not recommend his services to anyone.

She and I had been…read moretrying to traverse an extremely confusing and intimidating spiderweb of insurance companies and medical lingo before we decided to ultimately pursue legal counsell. Steven and Maritza were absolutely incredible in helping manage all the claims related to the accident, explaining and implementing the financial logistics of handling all the involved insurance companies, During the year that they represented us on our case, they were absolutely incredible and easy to work with. To echo other reviewers, we very much appreciated their professionalism, transparency and determination.

My case was particularly convoluted, probably by design, to make pursuing a satisfying end result nearly impossible for a layperson such as myself. They were doggedly determined and just kept pushing the issue to the end. Although I am quite satisfied with the compensation, the true benefit was just being able to give everything that came in to them, and there was so much involved. They patiently explained everything and then just handled it. I will definitely call on them if I have a need in the future and recommend them whole heartedly to all my friends and family.

We found ourselves in what seemed to us to be a pretty complex accident that, without…read morerepresentation, would most certainly be bullied right into the ground by the insurance company. After reading reviews, weighing our options and (tbh) the proximity to our house we decided to have our first sit down with Karen at GSLF. It turned out to be the only law firm we would visit. Karen was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. Karen walked us through our options, explained the pros, cons and most likely outcomes with the foundations of the case we had brought. The fees and finances were transparent, fair and honest. Karen even set us up with a couple recommendations to pursue treatment for our injuries. After our visit the weight of the accident was literally lifted off our shoulders. All we had to do was worry about getting better. I couldn't have imagined a better outcome and to think we were thinking there was going to be numerous visits with lawyers. Karen kept us up to date every step of the way via email. We never questioned what was going on. Karen received a couple offers from the insurance company and asked us if she could decline them. This impressed us. She seemed to fight really hard for us. Our settlement was much more than we anticipated after researching 'like' cases. Update- To our surprise, in the middle of writing this review we received an email from Karen. She had kept fighting the insurance company and was not satisfied with what they were taking for subrogation. We had yet another check coming for she had saved us another thirty percent off our subrogation totals! We are in awe of the GSLF family, in particular Karen and all of the work they put into our case. We highly recommend the GREANY SCUDDER LAW FIRM FAMILY!
