I got hit on the freeway and almost totaled my car. I hired Abel and he walked me through the whole health, insurance, and legal process. Abel was very knowledgeable and I felt like he was always a step ahead. He checked in with me every so often to make sure I was doing ok and I could tell he cared about my well being. The person who hit me moved across the country and I was worried that it’d turn into a huge headache. Abel was very patient, caring and assured me that everything would be ok. Now our case is closed and I’m in great health! I would recommend Abel to anyone and everyone.
I had an auto accident and wasn't getting any help from either insurance company, so I decided to hire Abel. I'm so glad I did! He took care of everything, kept in touch with me on a regular basis to keep me informed, and continually pursued the insurance company for the best possible result, which was how it ended up! The case was resolved in a timely manner and I couldn't be more pleased with Abel's work.
After working at 6 different law firms and agencies, Abel decided to go into practice for himself. His practice is primarily dedicated to helping injured people receive the treatment and care they need. Abel greatly enjoys fighting on their behalf, because each case is an opportunity to help someone who is hurting. Insurance companies fight hard to take advantage of these injured people - Abel fights harder to ensure that they get what they deserve.
Abel attended the University of Washington where he received a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in Law, Societies and Justice. During his tenure as a UW student, Abel served as a Political Associate for The Borgen Project working towards eliminating global poverty through domestic legislation. During this time, he also interned with the Washington State House of Representatives.
After graduating from the UW, Abel immediately began his legal education at Mississippi College School of Law. After completing two-thirds of his legal education in Jackson, MS, Abel moved back to Washington State to attend the University of Washington School of Law. Abel graduated with honors.
As a person of Ethiopian heritage, Abel performs regular community service with the Ethiopian Community of Seattle. He also plays the drums for his church in Edmonds, WA.
If you have a problem or a question, simply Ask Abel. Initial consultations are free.

Very professional.
I did not hire Atty. Tsegga, but I consulted with him about some contract matters. He was very courteous, professional and considerate of my situation. I will remember him and definitely contact him when I am ready to hire his services. Thank you, sir.

Amazing Abel!
I was in a car accident a year ago. I had never been in one before and had no idea how to navigate all the insurance companies and doctors visits. I cannot thank Abel enough for coming to my rescue! He took over all the communication so I didn't have to worry about anything but getting healthy! He is so helpful and personable. I am very pleased with the outcome and will definitely be using him again if ever the time comes!

Legal Advice for recent car accident
After a recent car accident t involving myself and grandmother, I hired Abel to help me with my case. He was so friendly and helpful during the case, keeping me well informed with every step. I recommend him to anyone who has been injured in an auto accident

Straightforward, Professional and Offered Great Advice
Abel assisted us with our Estate Planning and all the necessary requirements for a legally valid Will. He professionally guided us through the legal nuances and provided us with peace of mind, ensuring that our belongings and assets will be distributed as we desire. We truly appreciated his honest candor and well-guided advice in answering all of our “what-if’ questions. In addition to the legal basics essential to any Will, Abel provided sound reasoning why we should also include contingency plans to account for uncertainties and unexpected life events that can arise.
If you’re thinking about Estate planning and Will creation, don’t put it off – you wouldn't want the probate courts to determine how to distribute your hard earned assets. Having Abel as your attorney will make the process easy and give satisfaction in knowing that you've made the right choices.
If we had the need, would we rehire Abel in the future? Absolutely, without reservations. He was a pleasure to work with and to get to know personally.

Excellent resource and ally
Abel was a huge help for me while I was dealing with property damage as a result of water damage from flooding. He helped me understand my rights as a tenant and gave me advice for the best course of action to take with my landlord. While this situation did not require a legal case, Abel's ability to listen and decide the best course of action was exceptional and provided me with the confidence to handle my circumstances responsibly and correctly. I will certainly seek his advice again and should the occasion arise that I need to pursue a full legal case, I will rely on Abel to do the research, educate me, and fight for me.
