Not just "Hired Councel"

Having never had to hire an attorney in the past, I did not know what to expect when I found myself needing one. The type of case that I was seeking counsel for was "less than desirable." It was a case that would surely take years to complete, it involved challenging a large cooperation, and there wa...s a good chance that it would end in defeat. Despite all of this, Mr. Juhl did not hesitate to help me. In the almost 5 years it took to complete my case, Mr. Juhl went above and beyond to ensue he was with me every step of the way. I was continuously impressed by his ability to be the perfect mix of professional and personal. He not supplied a high level of expertise, but he became a pillar of support. His ability to be firm yet respectful, thorough yet relate-able, and show a level of class and grace throughout are just a few of the reasons why I enjoyed working with him. There was a never a time when I could not reach him to have questions answered or to seek advise. He always seemed to be 2 steps ahead of the game, and created a sense of calm during the most stressful time of my life. I remember a moment when we were about to start our trial, and he said to me, "WE finally made it. No matter the outcome, WE are going to get through this TOGETHER." My case was a very personal one for me that had the ability to be life altering. The process was very challenging and I would never choose to have to go through it again. However, I would willingly face any challenge with Mr. Juhl and his team by my side. I have wholeheartedly referred him to my friends, family and clients, and will continue to do so. In my opinion, Mr. Juhl sets the standard for what an attorney should be.

Personal injury lawyer | Jan 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Hans and I recently tried a complex premises liability case together in King County. You learn a lot about a lawyer when you try a case to verdict together, and I learned about Hans. A critical thinker and brilliant legal strategist with a deep knowledge of the law, Hans is as sharp as they come. Few lawyers can couple Hans’s raw intellect with his a keen sense of courtroom awareness. From the judge, to the jury, to opposing counsel, to the lower bench, his understated, confident approach won the day. Most of all, nobody will outwork Hans Juhl. Pouring through endless discovery, researching to find just the right case, drafting exquisite briefs and hammering out 18-hour trial days one after the next, Hans led the charge. Our client could not have been served better, and the result of his genius was revealed in the jury’s verdict, which reflected just about everything he asked for in closing. If ever you get to work with or hire Hans, count yourself lucky. I sure do."

Real estate lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Hans P. Juhl. Hans represented an opposing party in a real estate-related litigation matter. Hans was a strong lawyer who immediately understood the situation and his client's exposure to liability. He handled the matter quickly and professionally, and represented his client in a way that showed he understood some fights are better for a client to settle than lose. I found him to be practical, realistic and trustworthy, and I would not hesitate to refer clients to Hans or to work with him again. Hans is a quality lawyer."

"Having had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Juhl for 16 years, I can say with absolute confidence that no other attorney in Seattle can match his integrity, passion and strategic approach to his cases. If someone I knew had a construction law issue in Seattle, I would insist that they call Mr. Juhl."

"I worked with Hans Juhl for four years. I found him to be a caring, confident and competent attorney. He represented his clients with zealousness and intelligence.
