Professional and responsive attorney

I hired Mr. Eller and his firm to help me complete an eviction. I am highly satisfied with his work and wholeheartedly recommend any landlords dealing with problematic tenants to hire Eller Law Firm.

Tenant eviction

Mr. Eller helped us with evicting difficult tenants. There were multiple issues with tenants like property damage, not paying rent, claiming medical issues due to property etc. Mr. Eller was patient in answering our questions and helped with move-out agreement. He is very knowledgeable and detailed a...nd guided us on which points to push back and which ones to agree to. He knows about the current laws and what language to be included in the notices/agreements. I highly recommend Mr. Eller and will definitely use their services in future.

Excellent service

Travis and his team helped us get out of a difficult Landlord tenant issue in a timely manner, at a reasonable expense and with great results. Highly recommend this attorney for Landlord Tenant issues.

Couldn't be better

I contacted Mr. Eller through the contact page on his website. Within a few hours he got back to me. We had a brief discussion about how to handle a lease violation that was causing me a lot of stress with one of my tenants, he gave me a fixed price quote and the violation was processed on the same ...day. Before giving me the quote - he actually told me how I could handle the entire thing myself (his site is FILLED with free forms including Seattle specific options and other resources for landlords) but the stress on this has been so high that I really just wanted to hand it off to a professional. This was all so much easier than I expected - I've contacted 3 other lawyers on this site and never got a return call from anyone (2 of the 3 I've called twice!). Mr. Eller was just a last ditch effort, I just wish he was the first one I called. If you're a landlord, I highly recommend both him and his websites. I believe he even lists the fixed price fees for many of the common landlord tasks - worth every penny to have it done by a lawyer!

Travis knows what he is doing!

I'm so glad I found Eller Law Firm! I hope not to have to go through an eviction process again, but I will definitely call Travis Scott Eller if I do have to.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Eller is one of the few landlord tenant attorneys in Washington who truly understands the issues and the application of the law in this area. I endorse his work, and am always happy when he shows up as opposing counsel, because it means that we may be able to reach a non-litigated outcome. And he has a great website that explains WA landlord tenant law in well written terms. Elizabeth Powell"
