Joseph Hamell is professional, knowledgeable, and a great person all together.
He really knows his stuff, and whenever I have questions - he is always the one I go to.
If you need help with law relating to your business, you don't need to look any further. Joseph will do everything he can to make sure that you are taken care of!
Being a Home Owners Association ( HOA ) with a volunteer board, we were in need of professional guidance to secure the sale of a tract of land that the HOA owned.
The sale required very thorough investigation as to the process, the local regulations, and the CCR's of the HOA.
Mr. Hamell and his team guided us through every step to secure the transaction and communicated with us on a level that we could understand. They were the mediators for us in dealing with the developer and it was actually, dare we say, an enjoyable experience.
Our HOA highly endorses Mr. Hamell and we intend on using his firm in the near future for other projects that we are undertaking.
I am a client focused business litigation attorney. When business owners are in tough situations, I excel at helping them achieve an outcome they can live with.

Excellent representation.
I am an attorney who practices in a different area of law than Joe Hamell. When I needed a business attorney to represent my practice in a business matter, I retained Joe. Joe was very competent, professional and worked very hard on my case. I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent my business interests. I highly recommend Joe Hamell.

Our new Home Sprinkler Requirement Dispute with King County Planning Dept.
Mr. Hamell was able to accomplish what we could not. His professional, practical, and prompt actions enabled us to resolve the issue in our favor. We'd use him again absolutely!

We have needed Mr. Hamill’s services twice, in unrelated projects. One situation was the development of a contract, the other a dispute. In both situations we feel we received accurate information that allowed us to better understand what we needed to do and what to expect. We have recommended Mr. Hamell and his firm to several business and personal clients. Billable hours are accurate and fair. It is comforting to have a professional relationship with Mr. Hamell and his firm.

A positive experience
Joe helped me with my business contract and carefully answered my questions, of which I had many. He clearly has a deep understanding of his field and genuinely cares to provide both great service as well as sound business advice.
Though my business is small and I believe Joe works with some large clients, I felt important during the entire process and never felt talked down to. Joe has a knack for explaining the complexity of law in terms I can understand.
Today I feel a certain peace of mind knowing I'm operating a better business through the advice and support of Joe. I often refer to him as 'My Lawyer' and know I'm making wise business decisions with him on my side.
Thank you Joe for you excellent service.
