Peter Justin Viteznik

We were the plaintiff against a window installer. We were listened to, the entire firm worked quickly, and was very responsive. Peter and Lee did a fantastic job taking the time to explain and talk through everything. We settled for a sufficient amount, and Peter was able to get us the settlement... for minimal effort and cost on their end. Though I hope not to have to hire them again, they'll be our first call if we need another attorney.

We have had the opportunity to work with Pete and his team a few times and have been grateful for the creative thought, work product and results he has provided. Pete is an ally, someone who listens to the story and determines the relevant facts to use to give us the strongest case. As someone who ha...s worked with their fair share of attorneys, we found Pete to be available whenever we needed him. Pete listened and respected our point of view while offering differing perspectives, making him an asset to our team. We will continue to use Pete as a resource when the circumstances arise.

Pete handled a construction defect case on my behalf. A recently purchased home required nearly $400,000 in repairs. I hired Viteznik to recoup my repair costs from the builder and seller of the home. The builder/seller knew, and chose not to disclose, the known construction deficiencies that led ...to multiple water penetration issues. In my opinion, Peter J Viteznik's overconfidence, lack of preparation, and personal life distractions resulted in my case being dismissed on summary judgment. Viteznik didn't even bother to tell me that there was a summary judgment hearing. To make matters worse, I learned later, at a hearing for the motion for reconsideration, that because of a "personal conflict" Viteznik didn't even show up for the MSJ hearing and instead sent a junior associate, with little to no knowledge or expertise relating to my case, to the MSJ hearing. Court records confirm Viteznik's absence at the MSJ hearing. After the case was lost, I asked Viteznik, his current firm of Kilmer, Voorhees & Laurick, P.C., and his formal firm of Bullivant, Houser, and Bailey, PC to fund my appeal and they declined. It is one thing to make a mistake in life and quite another to deny it. Thankfully, I found two lawyers in Seattle that took the case to the appellate court and received a full reversal on ALL FIVE ARGUMENTS. In the end, the value of my valid claim was eroded because of the large amount of time that had elapsed between the original filing, appellate reversal, and settlement conference. Viteznik made money on my good case and I lost close to $600,000 (including legal fees).
