Knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring attorney who listens

Nobody wants to be involved in a possible legal battle, but events often occur in life that can’t be handled without professional advice. We are involved in a boundary dispute, which is not a good way to meet your neighbors. Barry advised us that boundary disputes can be very costly liti...gation, and ultimately can create disharmony among neighbors that last for years. So once we collected all the facts and supporting documentation, such as surveys, legal descriptions, and property history, Barry reviewed the various options associated with these matters. Barry not only has knowledge and experience in property issues, but he specifically understands waterfront boundary issues. As we were discovering all the facts associated with our dispute, there was a lot of ongoing correspondence with our neighbors. Barry guided us through this correspondence, and we appreciated his willingness to accept our input. This made our responses to the other party’s correspondence always a letter that represented the best of the legal and our personal opinions. Finally, we learned a lot through this process, and although it’s not over, we are still able to talk civilly to our neighbors and hope that the issue may be resolved without actual lawsuits and more expensive means. It’s important to find an attorney who has experience in your legal area of concern and also in the local area involved. Barry has a long history in working with both King County and Pierce County, and most particularly in the Black Diamond, Maple Valley, Kent, and Covington areas. Barry Kombol has done legal work for our family for over 30 years including estate planning and wills, guardianship, and property matters and always gives us his best. We have found him to be very honest and trustworthy. Barry Kombol will go out of his way to do a good job for you.

Compassionate

Mr. Kombol was compassionate and showed respect to all of our family members during a difficult time over the loss of a family member. At a time where the family should have time to grieve, but instead chose to bicker over specific assets, Mr. Kombol was there to smooth the situation and make it be...arable for all. He not only was our attorney, but negotiator and friend to everyone, which I'm sure at times was not easy. Mr. Kombol was very knowledgeable in all the dealings that we went thru, worked with the opposing council to come to an agreement that was very fair for all. I would contact Mr. Kombol again without any hesitation.
