Car accident

I was unable to resolve an accident case so decided to seek legal assistance. After conversing with Cheryl Farrish at Certa Law Group regarding my situation I was encouraged by her understanding and felt comfortable about selecting Certa Law Group to represent me. During the negotiation phase with ...the insurance company , she and Cortney Williams, Paralegal, kept me apprised of developments and sought my opinion at appropriate times. I received replies to my questions without hesitation. I am happy with the settlement reached. I would definitely use them again if necessary.

5 Star Professional Serrvice

My wife and I were involved in an injury multiple vehicle collision, causing vehicle stolen then hit & run, Our Uninsured motorist insurance was liable and with a law enforcement career, I felt I could handle the provider claims with our insurance company. My agent was non responsive and delayed b...ill payments to the point collectors were calling for payment. Stressed out, I contacted Cheryl who listened, asked questions and went to work. Cheryl kept me updated on her progress from the beginning to the end with no pressure to accept a settlement. Her paralegal Cortney was also an important part of her hard working Team. I highly recommend Cheryl and her Team for anyone involved in an accident.

Attorney Cheryl Farrish & the Certa Team: professional, personable & successful

Following a 2014 motor vehicle accident in which I was injured, I hired a Seattle law firm (not Certa Law Group) to represent me. This firm and its lawyers were an extreme disappointment: poor communication, undelivered promises and a lot of frustration ensued in the several months I worked with them.... I fired my old lawyer and hired Certa Law Group out of Edmonds, Washington. I was immediately impressed with Certa Attorney Cheryl Farrish. Together with paralegals Sasha Craft and Arianna Spung, Cheryl provided a more positive attorney experience than I ever anticipated. From the outset, Cheryl was transparent, professional, personable and reassuring. She and her team were detailed, fair, compassionate and excellent communicators. It was such a relief to know my case was in good hands, being taken seriously, and pursued until the best outcome was achieved. Every interaction and aspect of our professional dealings were positive, but this wasn't the end of it: Cheryl expertly negotiated two top-dollar (policy limits) settlements in my case, which far succeeded my expectations and brought a better resolution to my case than I had ever anticipated. I enthusiastically recommend Cheryl as a premier attorney and, by extension, Certa Law Group as a premier injury law firm. From the bottom of my heart, Cheryl, Sasha and Arianna, THANK YOU for your devotion to serving me as your client!

Excellent Representation

I am writing this review on behalf of my sister who Certa Law Group represented in a personal injury case and, although my sister was the client, I was involved through out the entire process since she is not an English speaker and I have to say, I actually felt as if I was the client as well. Their ...service was amazing and we only have one or two personal contact but, we have developed an intense telephone relationship with constant updates on the case. The main attorney, Mrs. Farrish, was phenomenal as well as her paralegal. Even after the case was settled they went above and beyond to resolve issues that came across. We do greatly recommend this law firm for any of your personal injuries cases. We hope not to need their services again but if another accident is in the future, we know where to go. Thank you to everyone at the office.

Cheryl is knowledgeable regarding every aspect of litigation including motions practice, discovery and trial. She assisted me in the trial of a very difficult medical malpractice case. Though she was not yet an attorney, Cheryl's work on the case was so outstanding that the judge thought she was an attorney. Cheryl has an incredible ability to attend to details and is always organized and prepared."
