Best attorney in Washington State.

Lee Thomas is the best Lawyer in Washington State, if not the country. Mr. Thomas would not attach a fee to my existing time loss payments because I had already been receiving them when I hired him. I made numerous calls to other Attorneys who wanted to take a fee out of my current time loss payments... even though they did nothing to earn them. Mr. Thomas asked me " how could I take money from you that I did not earn? " He is the most honest and ethical attorney I have ever dealt with. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good, honest and capable attorney who clearly cares about his clients.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
