Took on a major auto dealership for us. And won!

Catherine Fleming was a really dedicated and effective attorney for us. She was professional and engaged in our case and got us a settlement quickly. She also seemed genuinely interested in our story and case. My wife and I had a dispute with one of the top known auto dealerships in Seattle regar...ding a used-car transaction. The dealership had misrepresented the condition of the vehicle and we had evidence to suggest they knowingly misled us about this. They appeared to showed a pattern and willingness to deceive customers, and we had documentation on our side (fortunately). Our case did not have a high dollar value and it was difficult to find someone willing to take the case. After searching online and speaking on the phone with a few established consumer-affairs attorneys, we found Catherine on Avvo. We set up a consultation and she agreed to represent us for a flat fee (non-refundable) and would work to take further compensation for herself and us out of the settlement, which she did successfully and rapidly. If your case is a match for her specialties, we highly recommend her. Her stance with us was personal and engaged, yet at the end of the day, she is all business. One recommendation to anyone engaging her service (or any attorney’s) is to have your documentation totally cleaned up and in order, prior to initial review and throughout the process. This will save time and money, and help her to assess the strength of your case up front rather than having surprises crop up later. We highly recommend Catherine for legal services and representation. She kicked butt against a big time dominant car dealership for us—a couple of small time individual consumers. Impressive. Mike

Identity theft and credit card fraud

In December, 2018, I became a victim of identity theft and credit card fraud. I hired Catherine Fleming when my financial institution refused to forgive the charges in the amount of $37,500 in credit card fraud. She advised me with her legal expertise and assistance regarding filing a claim with my ...financial institution. This included: filing an identity theft report with the FTC, placing a freeze on my credit with the three credit bureaus, a police report, a complaint to the Washington State Attorney General's Office, and an analysis of illegal activity on my computer where a virus was found. During this time Catherine kept me apprised on the progress of my case. She was honest, supportive, empathetic and showed genuine concern for me. When she presented all of the documentation and evidence for my case to my financial institution, they changed their decision and settled in my favor. Catherine never gave up on my case. She has been an enormous blessing to me. I highly recommend her services.

Catherine Fleming review

We hired Catherine to represent us in a car accident case, in which the other driver was uninsured. She worked tirelessly and diligently with our insurance company to get the medical bills paid and to recover the maximum amount available to us under our policy terms. She was great to work with, kn...owledgeable and we would definitely recommend her to others. We will go back to her in the event we are ever in need of legal help again.
