I had a consultation with Seth in regards to my unemployment claim and he was straight to the point! Mr. Rosenberg weighed my options and we concluded on a great choice for me.
I just can’t say enough good things about Seth and this firm. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Reach out, you won’t regret it.
Mr. Seth Rosenberg was kind enough to speak with me about how to handle workplace harassment. It has been a difficult few months of reading through web articles, EEOC documentation, and Washington state documentation. Mr. Rosenberg helped to make sense of the relevant laws. While I did not have a legal case, Mr. Rosenberg kindly explained the legal requirements for harassment and retaliation and what it means to be in a protected class.
While other lawyers ignored my request for consultation, I truly appreciate that Mr. Rosenberg took the time to listen to my situation and explore possible legal remedies. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Rosenberg to anyone experiencing harassment or retaliation at work.

Absolutely Amazing Attorney and Experience!
At a time when I was in great need for a legal representation, Seth and I got in touch regarding a different matter. From the very first discussion with him, it was clear to me that Seth distinguishes himself as an attorney. His questions stuck to the facts, as any good lawyer should, and he was asking questions clearly trying to grasp the whole picture. It was also clear that he truly cares of the issues involved, which not only makes him a great attorney, but also a great legal advocate!
To say that I was over delighted when Seth told me that he would be interested in taking my case, is an understatement. From the very beginning, I knew that I am in safe hands, and Seth and Ariella proved my impression correct. They are very honest, responsive, attentive. They set up clear expectations, explain to you how the process works, and inform you of all the possibilities and routes a case can take, so one can make an informed decision. They work with you, and advocate on your behalf!
Not only that they do a superb job as attorneys, but they also excel on their customer service. Their ability to take the human element and recognize the experiences of their clients, made me feel heard, recognized, acknowledged, and as I already stated, safe!
I wholeheartedly recommend them! They truly are top-notch!

Delicate and unique matter
I came to Seth Rosenberg Law group with a unique legal issue I was facing. I could not have found a more compassionate and professional group to work with. Seth frequently answers the phone and promptly returned my calls along with emails. I believe I was in a unique situation which presented many challenges to Seth and his team. One issue was the planitffs attorneys displayed unprofessional behavior by consuming the Courts time out of turn, late submissions and mud slinging. The plantiff was someone I cared and respected. I did not want to attack their character. While they viciously attacked my character Seth and his team professionally addressed their allegations with a well orchestrated defense while making every effort to avoid the typical character assasination. Thanks to Seth and his team This case was successfully resolved.
I cannot thank him and his team of legal professionals for their help. Strongly recommending this law firm to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Best Decision I ever made was to Hire Seth Rosenburg
Seth always puts his client first! Administrative Law is not for the weak at heart or the unrepresented business owner.
Highest Recommendation, I do not think I could have survived the legal ordeal if I had not chosen to be represented by Seth.
I had a positive outcome after years of battle with State agency, agencies!
I was very naive about the experience of Administrative Court process. From one agency issue to the next the investigations were endless and honestly beyond belief. As my issues unfolded; rather escalated, Seth was able to deal with multi-able state agencies on my behalf.
Seth is Dedicated, professional and above all treats clients with respect.

He truely is much more than 5 stars
Unfortunately my father in law could not afford to hire Seth Rosenberg as his attorney, any attorneys, literally. Seth did all of us a tremendous solid, and took SO MUCH stress, worry, panic, confusion off of our shoulders when he very kindly, helped my father in law (and our family in the background on phone calls) he helped us understand what was what, what was being said (in normal human dialect, not huge words) court rules, proper formatting, pretty much he was our HOW TO... in court of law) my father in law is still currently dealing with the lawsuit against him, did I mention my father in law is the defendant and is PRO SE in the case. We cannot thank Seth enough for doing us favours, HUGE, favours, he really didnt have to take time on weekdays and yes, WEEKENDS, getting back to us quickly, about any concerns or questions we had about anything and everything... he has completely blown us away with his generosity, kindness, his personality, his want to help, his experience with law, his he knows what hes doing thats for sure... people like seth just seem harder to find now a days... ya know? And we are so thankful and extremely grateful for his help along the way of the stress that comes with dealing with court stuff. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, reccomend Seth Rosenberg to represent you. You won't regret it. We sure appreciate all youve done for us Seth! And I thank you personally,you dont even know, how much I PERSONALLY appreciate youre advice and direction... you've talked to Jim, so you kinda know or might have a good idea what im hinting at... with jim it all can be Very very overwhelming and very.... draining lol...jim is my father in law and he is B.C. BEFORE COMPUTERS, so its very stressful in that aspect of it but seth did amazing and jim loves him lol. He will never forget you and all your help..
Thank you!!
Sincerely
Justie Hawk -jim murrays daughter in law.
Jim- defendant whom seth helped him through understanding everything about court and his case and jim represented himself- pro se with seths kind help

Congratulations
...on finding the best lawyer to help guide you through one of the most difficult and stressful times of your life.
Throughout the entire process of my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, from the initial phone consultation to the final notice of discharge, Seth explained each step thoroughly and answered all 1,000 of my questions with patience and care.
As thankful as I am for his professional expertise as his client, I am most grateful for the way he treated me as a person. Seth handled my case with grace and always treated me with respect. Not once did he ever make me feel ashamed.
In an industry that often preys on individuals when they are financially and emotionally vulnerable, Seth has built his practice on integrity and an unshakable foundation of ethics.
I give him my highest recommendation.

Mr. Rosenberg "held my hand" through a stressful situation
I had to file for bankruptcy and Seth was comforting, professional, knowledgeable, and very responsive. I was impressed the minute he answered his own phone! I would highly recommend Mr. Rosenberg to anyone going through such a stressful situation. In addition to the above, he is a really nice guy! I am grateful for all he has done for me.

Seth Rosenberg made a bad situation (bankruptcy) better!
Filing for bankruptcy is not something one ever expects to do. I found myself in just this situation recently due to obvious economic factors. I found what i thought was a competent lawyer to begin the process. I soon discovered he was not only NOT competent he was actually doing more harm than good. At this point, I reached out to Seth (via a reco) and was immediately pleased with his prompt, thorough response. I am happy to say, the same service continued through the next 6 months until my case was recently successfully resolved. I recommend Seth wholeheartedly as he not only knows his 'stuff', he knows how to be human. :-)

We were in very good hands with Seth Rosenberg
A friend recommended my wife and I to Smith & Rosenberg, PLLC in downtown Seattle. Seth did an excellent job at making a very difficult situation (chapter 7 and foreclosure) virtually hassle free.
He knew what he was doing and that gave us much peace of mind.
The Bankruptcy was discharged just the other day with no hassles. The house is now in foreclosure. We can now get on with our lives.
Thank you Seth!

What a relief! I feel so much better after talking with Seth.
What a relief! I'm being hounded by four different "law firms" that are acting as debt collectors for third parties who have bought my debt. I've never dealt with anything like this before, so despite educating myself about the whole murky business the best I could, I was losing sleep imagining all sorts of nightmare scenarios of possessions being taken and my bank account frozen... I found Mr. Rosenberg's web site, saw that he offers a free initial consultation, and decided to give him a call. Thankfully, I was able to schedule a phone consultation with him for later that day. He was wonderful! True to his word, he gave me a free consultation to get started - and it was way more than I expected. He took the time to listen to the details of my situation and then he gave me some practical options to consider, patiently discussing each one with me as I asked questions ad nauseum. His approach was respectful and understanding, but also very down-to-earth. Another thing I really appreciated was that he didn't try to "sell" me on his services, nor talk me out of them either. He simply listened, related some of his experiences with negotiating debt settlements for his clients, gave me some guidelines for deciding if and when I should consider hiring an attorney to help me with this mess - and gave me several useful tips for dealing with these piranas myself if I wanted! I feel so much better after talking with him - and much better prepared to deal with the debt collectors next time they contact me. I'll probably still use him to negotiate the best possible settlement for me, as I'm not good at dealing with contentious negotiations and right now every dollar counts, but in the meantime I'll sleep well knowing I'm on the right track. Awesome! Thanks, Seth!! You're a godsend!!!

I have dealt with a half dozen attorneys over various times in my life. I can say without hesitation that Seth's integrity, professionalism, and commitment to task is beyond reproach.
