Peter Justin Viteznik

I was involved in a car accident where I was not at fault so I at contacted and hired Peter to help me with a car insurance claim because I felt the insurance company was not being fair. I couldn’t recommend Peter enough because He and his team were so responsive, organized and they won my case! This... was my first time going through the legal process so I was nervous and not sure what to expect. But Peter and team constantly communicated with me and took so much stress off my plate. My only regret was not reaching out to Peter sooner. They earned my trust and I would tell anyone to reach out to Peter.

We received a recommendation to hire Pete Viteznik about 15 years ago to handle a complicated construction defect case. This was unfamiliar territory for our company and Pete proved to be the right person for the job. It was evident from the very beginning that Pete and his team possess the knowled...ge, expertise and professionalism required to navigate a complicated situation. He clearly defined what he needed from us and then plainly outlined his plan to help us succeed. His communication through the entire process was excellent. We would have regular in person meetings to review each milestone in the case, but in addition, he would call as soon as new information came to light that he felt we would like to know. Pete has always proven to be personal, reliable and accessible. I have called him on numerous occasions for the simplest of questions and he has always been delighted to help in any way. We have worked with Pete and his team ever since that first case and can strongly recommend him to anyone else.

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.

Peter Viteznik represented me in a residential real Estate and HOA dispute. Throughout almost a 2- year ordeal and close to $18000 in expenses, I was sorely disappointed with his communication with me, attendance to details, and the lack of legal knowledge. The only reason I could not get out e...arlier was that I had already invested quite a bit in his representation. A huge and expensive mistake, especially when I had to start paying the opposition's lawyers too.

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).
