  • I recommend Sheila O'Sullivan.
  • I used Sheila 1-3 years ago.
  • Sheila handled my Bankruptcy / Chapter 7 matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
One size fits all models used by some Bankruptcy lawyers is not what you'll get with Sheila O'Sullivan. She learns your story and presents multiple strategies. Once you pull the trigger, Sheila is one of the smartest lawyers to have supporting you. Other well respected lawyers highly recommended her. I could not ask for more.

I spent a few long hours looking for the right attorney - I am glad I found Sheila.

The time that I spent finding the right attorney definitely paid of. Don't even waste anymore of yours looking up someone else. This attorney delivers positive results. Case closed in my favor. Good luck with yours!

Client Review:
I would highly recommend Ms. Sullivan for her knowlege, efficiency and approach. She helped us through a challenging time and provided answers where others could not. Throughout the proceedings I lived overseas, unable to return to the US for paperwork or hearings. Ms. Sullivan found ways to work within my constraints and resolve the case virtually and effectively.

Client Review:
We've known Sheila personally for over 10 years. When it came time for us to hire an attorney to write our will, we had an easy choice. Sheila is concise, conscientious, and thorough in all that she does. Sheila listened to our questions and concerns and gave us options to fit our needs. She made the process, which we had been avoiding, painless! We have sought out Sheila's advice on several occasions and she is always there to lend her opinion and make sure we receive the best advice. I would highly recommend Sheila to anyone.

Client Review:
In the fall of 2004 my life was topsy turvy I was returning to Seattle with a sense of defeat in more ways then financial. I found Sheila in the Gay Guild (she's an openly hetersexual that is Lesbian/Gay friendly)and started the painful and tedious work of sorting out my finances and legal/moral obligations. I had had a magor accident in 2002 while riding a horse without medical insurance, followed by many losses. My anguish was vast and my resources limited. Sheila counselled me thouroughly..never assuming anything, never judging. We tried other tacks before proceeding to bankrupcy. Her knowledge a constant,her compassion and humor vast.

Client Review:
After going thru a horrible gay divorce although gay marriage isn't allowed in Washington, Sheila helped me with bankruptcy and helped me thru the fight my ex presented to the bankruptcy courts in hopes to have the bankrupcy thrown out of court. Sheila stood beside me, was there for me and helped me get thru this horrible experience.

Not only did Sheila help me thru the bankruptcy, she also helped me with my ex at State of Washington court level.

I would never have survived this ordeal if Sheila wasn't there with me. She definately was watching my back and facing my problem as she owned it to help me survive.

Client Review:
Sheila made all of the details easy for us to follow through and complete for our wills and the changing of the wills. We have consulted her on estate planning in regards to our business passing to Ron's son/my stepson. We want the transition smooth and "easy" with as few dollars as possible going to inheritance taxes. She helped direct us with Trusts as well as separate executors for Ron and me.

We've also sought Sheila's advice on HOA issues when Ron was on the board--which issues to address and which to leave alone on a volunteer board. Sheila has always returned our calls within the same day and usually had answers for us within 24 hours.

Ron and I cannot speak highly enough Sheila and the work she has done for us.
