Katie Jean Comstock

I consulted Katie Jean Comstock on a neighbor dispute involving a sewer line running through my property without a formal easement. She gave clear, no-nonsense guidance and didn’t sugarcoat the situation, which I really appreciated. While my options were limited, it was incredibly helpful to receive ...an honest and professional opinion.

I cannot say enough great things about this firm. I worked with Dave and Katie, but it seems the whole firm pitched in to get this thing done pronto. We received our settlement in less than a month, check in hand, and made a quick file at my request due to statue of limitations concerns on a real pro...perty title issue. I am an attorney, but not this kind, and I feel fortunate to have just stumbled on this firm. I now refer my clients to this firm for their real property issues (already referred one person). I would highly recommend them for your property matter.

I contacted Katie regarding new construction defects in a Seattle area townhome. I had tried to work with the builder without the assistance of an attorney and was getting absolutely nowhere. Katie spent at least 45 minutes on the phone with me getting the details of the situation. Upon conclusion o...f the conversation I felt confident in her desire and ability to help resolve the matter. Katie is very knowledgeable regarding construction issues. She clearly explained our claims based on the agreements in place with the builder and directed me on how to proceed . She was able to recommend quality engineers who could help further assess the extent and magnitude of the defects. Throughout the negotiations Katie was on top of the details at every step, offering good advice and keeping everything moving forward. Ultimately a settlement with the builder was reached (without litigation) and we received funding for proper repair of the defects. Katie did a great job and I'd highly recommend her.

Though a lawyer myself, I was stumped on how to handle a billing dispute with a contractor on my major home renovation, given my unfamiliarity with the industry. I needed some reality check about the industry, how this might play out if it escalated, what are reasonable expectations, and the like. M...s. Comstsock definitely had the expertise to provide that information and advice. In helping me settle the matter, she also appropriately calibrated how aggressive to be at each turn in the negotiations, to match the changing circumstances. Ms. Comstock was very responsive to my calls and emails and consistently delivered exactly when she said she would. She also understood that I was budget sensitive--a homeowner, not an insurance company or corporation--and was open with me and included me in decision making about how best to allocate the resources we were able to devote to this.
