Best Eviction Lawyer in Town
We are truly grateful that Evan Loeffler took our case. We were dealing with extremely difficult tenants — professional renters who knew how to game the system — and Evan handled every step with strategy and precision. Thanks to his expertise, we won the case, which could have easily dragged on for a...

Exceptional Eviction Lawyer - Highly Recommended for Landlords
I highly recommend Evan Loeffler. We faced an incredibly tough eviction case against professional, difficult renters, and his strategic approach—rooted in extensive experience—was the absolute key to our successful outcome. frankly, without it, we know we would have waited another half year for the t...

Diligent, Determined -- Earnest, Honest
In my personal letter to Evan, I quote, in part: "I trusted that your counsel (if followed) would bring about the successful result that I sought. I am happy to report that you were correct." Following the tragic loss of my 14-year-old daughter to Covid, in August, my life took another, tragic dow...

Fantastic Attorney
Evan did a great job for me and I would not hesitate to use him again. I would most definitely refer him to others. Evan understands the legal and sometimes emotional issues surrounding housing issues. He can cut through it quickly and resolved a unique and difficult tenant situation cost-efficient...

Experience Matters
Evan was able to step into the middle of a fast-moving eviction issue and bring it to a grinding halt, reverse the momentum, and create a resolution. He has a fantastic demeanor and is more-than-capable of taking on any landlord-tenant dispute.
"I recently worked with Evan on a case which required addressing a unique landlord/tenant issue in my own case in a different area of law. I was extremely impressed with his thoroughness and his consistent goal to protect the client's best interests. I observed his courtroom performance which demonstrated a comfortable command of the facts, procedure and applicable law. Needless to say, I endorse Evan's work, would not hesitate to work with him on a case again, and recommend him to anyone in need of superb representation in the area of landlord/tenant law."
"I have known Evan for years, have taught continuing education classes with him, and he was recently an opposing counsel on a case. He is a very experienced Landlord Tenant attorney, and without a doubt, one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in the state on the topic."
"I've known Evan almost as long as I've been practicing law. I've referred many clients to him over the years, and have consistently heard great things back. He has also helped me out many times when I've come up against complex landlord/tenant or leasing issues in my own practice. He is without question one of the most knowledgeable people in this niche of practice in Washington. Smart, funny, and personable. Recommended without reservation."
"I have worked for Mr. Loeffler for several years and he has been an excellent mentor and role model. Mr. Loeffler is without doubt a leading practitioner in landlord-tenant law. His experience and professionalism are recognized by the judges he appears before and by opposing counsel. Mr. Loeffler always keeps his clients informed and educated about their cases. I endorse him."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have experienced him as opposing counsel in a jury trial, and I've listened to him speak in public forums. He is definitely a worthy adversary. He's bright, competent, knowledgeable, and ethical."
"I have worked with and opposite to Evan, and know he possesses superior knowledge and advocacy skills, and is honest and forthright in all his dealings. I endorse him, and have trusted referral of clients to him."
"Evan is an exceptionally good attorney. He knows landlord-tenant law inside and out. We have had several matters together. Being on opposite sides of an action can create acrimony; however, when an attorney knows his stuff as well as Evan does, there is no need for posturing or puffery. He doesn't bother with the attitude. It is always a pleasure to have Evan on the other end of an eviction. If his name is on it, the procedural posture is impeccable and the substance of the action is well-grounded. Elizabeth Powell"
"I highly endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked opposite Mr. Loeffler and find him to be exceptionally good and efficient at resolving real estate disputes. Any client dissatisfied with Mr. Loeffler probably had a case no lawyer could win or had unrealistic expectations that no lawyer could satisfy. I refer my clients to one of two attorneys, and he is first on my list."
"Evan and I have known each for three or four years and regularly teach continuing legal education classes together. He is very knowledgable in the area of real estate late and a true professional. I give Evan a ringing endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked against Evan as opposing counsel and jointly represented clients with him. Evan is thorough, knowledgable and very experienced."
