Quiter

Well where do I start? First of all I hired Catherine Fleming to recover the money from a crooked used car dealer that not only sold me a lemon BMW but also changed the odometer statement from the one that I have a carbon copy of, to me thats enough evidence of fraud on its own. The dealer also forge...d my signature on not one but two vehicle title applications, both for the same vehicle. The dealer has a copy of the bill of sale showing that I still owe $18,000+ and sold me a bogus warranty that doesn't cover anything on the vehicle for another $4,100+. I paid cash for the BMW. Anyhow Catherine took on my case for over a year. Charging me more than her usual retainer fee, because I already had an attorney that after 9 months had quit suddenly. Catherine agreed to do this as a contingency basis and was told that I want to move forward with the lawsuit several times. Over and over was told to keep moving forward with litigation. Meanwhile she kept having demands that I pay her X-amount of dollars by the end of whatever week it was or she could no longer represent me. Time after time. After finally moving forward with disposition and getting a sworn statement, Catherine fleming decided to quit. Wait a minute let me add the fact that during the year Catherine fleming represented me I was made to run on a wild goose chase having my BMW looked at by several different mechanics, several different times and had a safety recall on the vehicle put out by the NHTSA that states the vehicle not be sold when I purchased the vehicle and the vehicle had a safety check sticker in the windshield implying the vehicle was safe to drive and had no issues. When I bought the BMW it came with a 90 day warranty and I was told that I could buy a 3 year warranty within 7 days of the original purchase, but also sold it "as is" I believe that to be called misrepresentation. Catherine Fleming is a crook herself taking what little money I had and failing to produce what she agreed to produce. Thanks alot Catherine. If anyone is reading this and looking for an attorney, I would stay far from this one. I cant believe that I have to give Catherine a star. I should be able to give her no stars

Dear Stephen, Not until today did I notice this review. Simply shocking: As you are well aware, your review is fraught with significant and serious misrepresentations. Clients should always disclose their criminal history as this is asked of each potential client from the intake stage. Because this is a public forum, I will not go into great details. However, please recall that I charged you well below my usual retainer, despite the fact that this was a time-intensive matter. Because you gained my sympathy about your financial situation, I literally provided legal services to you for pennies on the dollar. Despite the fact that I spent many hours documented and provided to you, and that I moved quickly to toll the statute for your matter, you rejected my advice and counsel. Because I am a solo practitioner and not a legal aid clinic, I could no longer continue to represent you. I attempted to connect you with other counsel, but they were wiser than me and recognized that they could not represent someone with such unrealistic expectations. I do hope you think long and hard about how you've gone about everything. Your anger and inability to grasp reality will sadly destroy every aspect of your life. I do wish you all the best. Sincerely, Catherine

Fantastic Representation

Catherine helped me through four years of building and favorably resolving a case that left me with significant physical injury, making sure I am better secure for the rest of my life. I have nothing to espouse but praises for her professionalism, guidance, and personable nature.

Thank you, Daniel. I was thrilled to obtain a seven-figure settlement from the City of Seattle for your injuries from the bicycle crash. While you and I received a lot of raised eyebrows and skepticism about the strength of your case from other attorneys, I'm glad that we stuck with it to the end. Please visit me whenever you're back in town. Warmest regards, Catherine

Incredibly effective attorney for my Bicycle injury

This review is long overdue. Several months ago, Catherine obtained a settlement for me after filing a lawsuit. I was badly injured when I was riding my bicycle to work, when a Lyft driver hit me. I broke my left arm, some ribs and collarbone. Not fun and a lengthy recovery. She advised me not to fea...r filing a lawsuit, and I appreciated her reassuring manner. Once in a while, when i was anxious about the process, Catherine would make herself available by phone. In the end, the result after about 10 months of her diligent efforts just blew me away. I can literally quit my job for a few years and perhaps attend grad school. This is something I only daydreamed about. Now, Catherine turned my bad luck into a future full of wonderful possibilities for me.

Efficient and Persistent Supporter

Catherine Fleming helped me with a case that I thought wouldn't be worth pursuing. After my fiance and I purchased a car from a used car dealer, we were upset and defeated after just a few weeks. The engine needed to be completely replaced. The cost would be just about 75 percent of the total amount ...we paid for the 2006 Honda Pilot. After calling the dealer, we knew we wouldn't get any help from them--they were blatantly rude, defensive, deflective, and accusatory. A friend of mine recommended Catherine. I didn't think she would take our case because it wasn't a huge dollar amount, but she did anyways--and never tried to charge us the full amount of the time or fee she could charge. This case took much longer than we anticipated, as the dealer's legal representation quit and they had to find new representation, throughout the process. Our big goal was to get our money back for the car and the repairs, and to cover all legal fees, without having to go to litigation. Ms. Fleming was diligent and persistent in working with them, and kept us apprised of every step so we could give input when needed. In the end we were pleased to have a result that checked off most of our hopes. We were able to settle and turn in the car, and we got all the money we spent towards the car and repairs back, and avoided litigating. We are so thankful to have had a lawyer like Catherine who took a small case and worked hard to resolve it for our best interests. Thank you so much!

Whenever anyone asks for a recommendation for an attorney, Catherine is the one

it turns out that a coworker of mine as well as a neighbor were in separate, bad accidents last night. When I spoke with each of them, I recommended that they contact Catherine immediately. Last year, when I was involved in a car crash during the infamous "Snowpacolypse", I found Catherine online. Af...ter speaking with her, I stopped searching because she was so knowledgeable and reassuring. In under a year, she obtained a much better settlement than I expected. She was so on top of everything and she (as well as her assistant) kept me updated every step of the way. If you need a personal injury attorney, please do yourself a favor and hire her already. Don't fool yourself into thinking that you can represent yourself and get a similar settlement from an insurance company.

Thank you so much for your kind words. You were an excellent client, who responded to my questions promptly and honestly. I enjoyed working with you to get you the maximum amount as a settlement. Your wife was also delightful. Warmest wishes to you and your family. -Catherine
