James D Hicks

Mr. Hicks was assisting the lead attorney on our case and subsequnetly took it over as our primary contact. The issue was adverse possession. Mr. Hicks explained what was going on in laymans terms and tried to establish common ground between planiff and defendant. While that never happened the cas...e was eventually voluntarily dismissed by plantiff as Mr Hicks had provided thorough enough documentation and rebuttal that plantiff dropped case prior to ever going to court

Thanks to Jim’s help, we will be able to correct an expensive construction issue at our home. He was indispensable in a negotiation over the builder’s warranty, helping us get a very good monetary settlement from the builder's representatives, without going to court. He’s a smart attorney with a soli...d understanding of Washington real estate law and related insurance issues. Jim is straightforward and diligent in his research and his consultation. We really appreciated the way he took us through the process, thoughtfully answered our questions, and successfully concluded our issue with no misunderstandings. Jim was well worth his billing rate, and our overall bill was very reasonable, considering how much of our own money we won’t have to spend fixing our house. It was money well spent.

Jim was on top of every issue and provided good advice and enabled us to extracate our company from a mess in which we had become embroiled. His knowledge of insurance law and construction law prevented us from a large liability that could have loomed and potentially led to our insolvency. He has s...uccessfully handled debt collection for us as well as helped in defending us in third and fourth party claims for product liability. I recommend he and his firm highly.

Jim is extremely comfortable to be around. He does not get excited or become flappable! He pursued the case tenaciously and I think to it's fair conclusion in settlement. As a litigator, he was very well prepared and knowledgeable of the area of law in which we sought advice. He kept us on a reali...ty check throughout the case, never promising more than what might be reasonably expected as an outcome. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Mr. Hicks if they had legal issues with construction, repairs or any such similar matters.
