Excellent and very professional

Attorney Serawit Abebe represented me in a complicated Immigration case. He took the case from a different lawyer who was not able to help me and settle the case with approval of my green card. Serawit helped me through the most painfull time. He was very professional, thoughtful and detailed.

Exceptionally Professional and Excellent Customer Service

Before hiring Serawit Abebe, I heard many good things about him. I hired him twice: I first hired him for an immigration case, and later for a car accident claim. I noted that he works extremely hard to protect interests of his clients and obtain the best result of the cases. I have seen him successf...ully communicate with immigration officers, insurance adjusters and judges to help his clients. If you are really looking for a dedicated legal advocate, who can get an awesome result, selecting Mr. Abebe will not disappoint you. I will recommend his services. He is an honest and effective advocate for his clients and the community. Mr. Abebe is a true professional; he takes time to educate his clients and has his client’s best interest at heart.

immigration lawyer

I first learned about Mr. Abebe from a local newspaper in Seattle. In addition to regularly reading his excellent articles, I have noticed his continued efforts in actual legal work and his generous contribution in the community. I have witnessed the excellent work that Mr. Abebe done when represen...ting my cousin in a difficult immigration case. My cousin had an immigration that was denied by USCIS due to bad representation of another attorney, I suppose. Mr. Abebe come into the picture and fixed every complication that was created by the previous attorney. He diligently took professional approach in dealing with small detail to help my cousin to bring over his loved ones. Besides, it is very evident that, from the way he talks care of matters, he is knowledgeable, trustworthy and confident. I recommend Mr. Abebe for his best legal service, most of all for his carrying, diligent and dependable nature. Sincerely,

Excellent service!

My husband and I had the pleasure to be represented by Serawit and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. He was always on top of everything, let me know in advance about that will happen next and helped us get prepared for everything. He kept in touch a lot by email, phone or text. He rep...lies quickly to emails or phone calls. This was a great experience, and amazing help! We would most definitely recommend Serawit, he is not only an excellent lawyer but also an amazing person.

A selfless, understanding lawyer who really knows his craft

Had immigration issue that needed to be straightened out. I stumbled on his name, after trying to call and talk to a handful of other lawyers who promised 210% to make my case successful if I gave them a large amount of $$$. When I gave Serawit a call and briefed him about my situation he didn't say... "yeah definitely come over now and pay me this amount and your victory is guaranteed" like so many others. He wanted to meet in person and get to know me, as a person. And hear the truth from my mouth before he decided whether to take it or not. He does not put money ahead of the case. He makes you feel comfortable to open up, and he genuinely take your case as if it's his close relative's. EMPATHY! When things get rough he's right there with you feeling what you feel except that he knows his stuff, he knows what to do and always finds the solutions. You just let the master do his thing. I'm so glad to have met him, and even more grateful for what he did for me, and my family. Definitely recommend him. In my estimation, the best immigration lawyer in town!
