Brenda Anne Wood

I hired Ms. Wood when I got a move out bill from a previous apartment complex that did not reflect the condition of the unit when I left it. I was given the run around from the management company and was unable to resolve this issue by myself. When Brenda got a hold of this case she looked over eve...rything with extraordinary care and patience and found multiple areas of error that made our case much stronger. She negotiated with expertise and a surity that cannot be taught. Receiving a large bill from a large company that is incorrect is quite a frightening experience and made me feel incredibly powerless and small. After hiring Brenda I was able to relax significantly. It became obvious very quickly that she has incredible instincts for what leads to follow and pursue. She navigated our frustrating situation with success and got me the best possible outcome. I appreciated her attention to preserving time and money on my case and her communication was excellent. Attorneys this sharp are a precious commodity. 10 out of 10 reccomend.

From the very first phone call, I felt confident with Brenda representing us. One of the things I liked about Brenda is that she is a landlord herself, so she is not only familiar with the landlord tenant laws, she has experience and firsthand perspective. After a thorough review of documents and evi...dence, Brenda presented us with our options, encouraging us to consider all of the possible outcomes, positive and negative, while providing expert advice. She guided us through the process in a way that helped us feel confident in our decisions, and she kept us apprised every step of the way. Her communication and negotiation skills are excellent. I felt cared for as her client and that she always had our best interest in mind. I am very pleased with the services Brenda provided and highly recommend her to anyone needing help resolving their legal matters.

I live in a small mobile home park in the unincorporated area of Snohomish county so when the big maple tree directly in back of my home became unsafe and one large part of it fell on my roof and back wall last winter, I could not call any city inspector/agency for assistance. The park owner called ...it an act of God and took no responsibility for it; luckily I had good insurance and repairs were done in a timely manner. The problem was not over though; there were additional branches and trunks which were leaning and clearly unsafe and my landlord would only remove one which did not overhang my home at all, just helped out my neighbors. I attempted to speak with hiim about the issue several times thru the winter and spring but his attitude was not cooperative and he finally refused to discuss it at all. I waited for a full year for him to do something-anything and when the situation became impossible to live with, I hired Brenda. I had previously contacted the state AG's office to see if they could assist me but they informed me it did not fall under their purview. Brenda looked up the applicable case law, found something and mailed a polite but firm letter to my landlord quoting the law and giving him a time frame for abiding by the letter of that law. Within 10 days, the tree was down and I have peace of mind again. Her rates were reasonable and she kept in touch with me during the process as to what she was doing and making sure I was on board with it. I would definitely hire her again if the need arises and recommend her highly.

We hired Ms. Wood to draft a rental property lease and could not be more grateful for her professionalism, communication and knowledge of Washington state landlord and tenant laws. As first time landlords we were definitely in need of advice and coaching as we began renting a home. Ms. Wood took the ...time to explain in detail each clause of the lease and how to proceed in verifying tenant backgrounds and the overall lease signing and move in process. Her background as both an attorney and landlord is very valuable for anyone starting out as a landlord and I highly recommend her services. We feel confident in the landlord process and more importantly safe that our rental home is protected going forward.
