About Grigoriy

Learn Grigoriy’s areas of practice.

I AM COMMITTED TO HELPING MY CLIENTS.

Greg was born in the former Soviet Union and immigrated to the United States with family at the age of eleven.

He grew up in Kent, Washington, where he graduated from Kent-Meridian High School.  He then attended the University of Washington where he received his degree in political science.  He went on to earn his Juris Doctorate (Doctor of Law) degree from Gonzaga University School of Law where he was a recipient of an Achievement Merit Scholarship.

Between the time he completed his undergraduate studies and the time he attended law school, Greg worked as a real estate professional. As one of the youngest real estate agents at the time, he worked hard to learn more about the real estate industry than his older competitors. Given his strong work ethic, determination and acquired knowledge, his clients were able to see past his youth and trust his expertise. Within a short period of time Greg progressed to working with developers and builders on large development and building projects.

Greg interned at Spokane County Public Defender’s Office where he was mentored by experienced and highly knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys.  While at the Public Defender’s Office, Greg managed an extensive load of cases and routinely appeared in court. After his time at the Public Defender’s Office, Greg was employed with one of the oldest and distinguished criminal defense and personal injury firms in Spokane, Washington.  Greg has appeared for countless court hearings on various matters from simple traffic infractions to serious felony matters, and pretty much everything in between. 

Greg has a passion for working in the courtroom, arguing motions and conducting trials.  He has a unique ability to spot issues and craft creative, yet logical and credible arguments.  In fact, Greg is routinely praised by his colleagues for “great lawyering” and “thinking outside the box.”

Greg’s experiences working with people of different cultures and economic backgrounds allow him to better understand their needs and thus ensure proper legal representation.  In addition, his fluency in Russian and cultural ties to the Russian-speaking community enable him to better communicate with members of that community and provide them with access to the legal system.

10/10!
I was inappropriately ticketed based on the account of the other driver in a minor car accident. Greg and Chris could not have made the process of ticket dismissal any easier- well worth the cost of their work. I hope to never need a service like this again but I know where to go for quality, valuable help!

Thanks
I had an accident, my car was hit by one car and I hit another car, fortunately no one was hurt. Grigoriy Sarkisayn was my lawyer who helped me a lot and won the case without fines or further problems! He always answered calls and responded to messages regarding my case on time. I am very pleased with his work, he is a true professional in his field, I recommend him to everyone.

Great law firm
Grigoriy Sarkisyan, Chris Mendez and their team in Community Law Firm is really helpful. They have help us to deal with some non-traffic related issues with great success. They have my highest recommendation.

Great Experience - Two dismissed tickets!
Mr. Sarkisyan handled two traffic citations. They unfortunately came within a few months of each other and he managed to get them both dealt with during the same hearing. He managed to get both citations dismissed. Greg promptly followed up with a conclusion. For any additional citations (which I hope are none) I certainly plan to be a returning client.

Best Experience Hiring an Attorney for the First Time!
Searching for the right attorney can be overwhelming! I was provided several attorneys to contact thru my employer's legal benefit service and selected Mr. Sarkisyan--the several other recommendations either did not answer, had an automated answering machine, or a receptionist answered and was told the attorney would call me back. From the get-go, he answered the phone on the first try when I contacted his office. I needed to have a record removed and he was able to help me resolve it in a very short time. Greg is old-school customer service which is rare these day: answers his phone, responds to emails/texts quickly, professional, and provides you with the information you need to make a sound decision. I've already referred Greg to several friends and family who are looking for an attorney in his field of expertise! Truly an asset to the legal community!

If Mike Ross and Harvey Specter were one person...
If Mike Ross and Harvey Specter were one person, that would be Greg Sarkisyan. The greatest attorney I've ever known, has helped me a ton with traffic infractions from Seattle all the way to Spokane! He is extremely trust worthy and never lets things fall through the cracks. I always recommend him and Community Law to any of my friends who get charged with a traffic infraction in Washington state. He is worth every penny, we're truly blessed to have him.
