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."

Hans P Juhl's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."

"I have known Hans for many years and I wholeheartedly endorse him. Hans is very intelligent and works hard to get the best results for his clients. He has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to litigation, and he is someone that I go to for advice."
"Hans is seasoned, experienced and respected attorney. His wealth of knowledge and practical approach to assisting his clients makes him one of the only attorneys I know who I have no hesitation referring clients to."
"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."
"I endorse Hans. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."

"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 endorse this lawyer. Hans is a practical, no nonsense attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Insightful, smart, thorough; Hans is an excellent lawyer with great people skills. He does a great job for his clients."
"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. However, it was the fair way which he treated his clients that always impressed me the most. I endorse this lawyer and have referred, and will continue to refer, clients to him."
"Without reservation, I can attest that Hans Juhl is a tremendous lawyer. He is sharp, hard working and well respected by his peers. Anyone in need of a talented attorney, whether to litigate a difficult matter or to resolve a civil dispute, would be lucky to have Hans on their side. I would feel comfortable referring anyone to Hans."
