Compassionate/Empathetic Professional Legal Team

I was in need of a divorce/family law attorney. When I was referred to the Law Office of Seth Shich all of my family matters were handled with the utmost care/priority and professionally. Seth, Lisa, and Taylor were exceptional. I appreciated every attention to detail in handling all of my legal need...s. They went above and beyond to assist me in all my legal matters and they were patient with me while I gathered the resources to prepare for my journey. Thank you all for your dedication, professionalism, and patience. Please if you are looking for an exceptional legal team please contact the Law Office of Seth Shich LLC.

Knowledgeable, personable, and accessible!

Working with Attorney Seth Shich was one of the best experiences I have ever had working with an attorney. He immediately stood out with his approachable and concerned demeanor. He is very well versed and has great skills to rationalize and cut through arguments from a rational stand point. He was al...ways accessible, often calling me outside of office hours if need be and always making time within a couple days. After I could not afford Seth, I retained him for legal counsel. I would definitely recommend and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Combated an unprofessional with professionalism

Seth was referred to me from the Montgomery Co. Bar Association. The matter involved adult siblings and the estate of their parents. Seth had to deal with a "respected" attorney that did not return phone calls or emails, constantly made excuses for his obvious incompetence, could not spell, did n...ot proofread his work, and was more than once caught in an obvious lie. Amidst all of this mess, Seth shined. He cited law. He educated himself on a legal matter that happens all too often (family disputes). The matter was settled. My life continues.

Small Business Advocate

Thank you Attorney Shich for all you are doing to help my company by provided representation that forces big companies and the government to treat small businesses fairly. Thank you for giving my business a chance to survive when I thought all was lost.

Consultation

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Shich was Opposing Counsel in a Legal Separation Matter in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia. When meeting Mr. Shich in person I immediately noticed that he was a very polished young lawyer. In court he was articulate, smart, and assertive without being arrogant. While ready to litigate the matter before the court, Seth's strong point was in his ability to reach a settlement without drawn out litigation. I would recommend him."
