Martin Garfinkel's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with Marty on a number of cases, and I could not possibly recommend him more highly. He is especially skilled with regard to class action employment litigation, and there is no one better in Washington State to associate with on any labor or employment case that might involve challenging issues related to class certification, overtime exemptions, "off-the-clock" time, rest breaks, meal breaks, or prevailing wage payments. He is in all ways the perfect "go-to" guy with regard to these types of cases -- reliable, honest, and brilliant. If you find yourself in need of this type of expert co-counsel or the perfect person to refer a client with these types of problems too, you will never regret reaching out to Marty for assistance."
