Review Lara Wilcox

My car accident

Posted by

Elizabeth Wilcox was so amazing for my case! I got into a car accident that wasn’t my fault and throughout the whole process of this case she was so supportive and was always willing to hear everything and take it to heart. I would go back to her in a heartbeat! I would 10/10 recommend!

Changed our lives

We hired Lara and her team because my husband was hit by a drunk driver. Lara was efficient and did everything she could to make sure we received the help my husband deserved. I feel like we gained friends for life after this chaos in our lives. We are thankful for the hard work they put into making sure my husband and I got the best service. Thank you Lara and team, y'all are amazing :)

A truly remarkable attorney

Posted by

I was involved in a serious car wreck where I was rear ended by a man going 45 mph while I was at a complete stop. The past few months have been very rough for me as I recover. Through this time Lara has always been available to answer my questions and concerns. I'm not treated as just another client but as someone she is fighting for. I highly recommend Lara Wilcox to handle your case. You will not be disappointed.

Brilliant, Compassionate, Humble, & Successful

I chose Lara after looking at the best reviews of attorneys in my area (Seattle). I can't speak highly enough about her. She is everything you would want in an attorney: educated, intelligent, experienced, discerning, socially and emotionally competent, and invested in your case. I was surprised when I spoke to her to ask some questions after she was on board because her time is very valuable and she never communicated that. She also fought for justice in my case, and I was completely satisfied. If I ever could recommend an attorney to have in your corner, I wouldn't waste any more time-- Lara is supreme.

Excellent attorney!

Lara was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She is very knowledgeable and very thorough. I had no idea what to expect with my case but she kept me informed every step of the way and made everything easy to understand. Lara did an outstanding job.

I highly recomend lara strandberg

Lara is an excellent attorney in every aspect and very professional. I would be out allot of money from a shady rental company and have bad credit if it wasn't for Lara. She has helped my girlfriend and I on a few legal matters and she was very informative of our rights and the law when it comes to creditors and collections and we will continue having her represent us if i ever need an attorney in the future. I highly recommend her

Angry Incompetent

Posted by

I had a personal injury case and was referred to Lara Wilcox by my chiropractor. I think she works with them to get business. I regret to say worst decision. Bad representation and I changed luckily to another attorney who saved my case. I think it stems from her lack of experience and just a “superiority” complex. I felt she was not level headed and at times very condescending when I would ask questions that of course I am not an attorney and wouldn’t know the details pertaining to the law. She didn’t take her time in negotiations. I will not refer anyone to this attorney.
