Nicholas R Ranallo

I had a landlord issue with recovering a deposit, and was referred to Nick by the KCBA. He was efficient and helpful through the whole process, with drafting a demand letter and later assisting with the small claims filing. Communication was courteous and responsive. It was the first time I hired... an attorney for anything and I felt the price I paid was very reasonable for the service I got.

Overall, Nick was great to work with throughout the case. I simply asked if he had received a response from the parties he was contacting regarding a tenant issue. Immediately after I asked, he responded by questioning the status of my bill. While I understand the importance of payment, I was trying ...to clarify whether the situation was fully resolved. Instead of offering a professional update, his reply came off as rude, telling me I needed to pay my bill immediately. I paid the bill, but I will not be working with him again. It felt unprofessional to shut down a client who was just seeking clarity, especially as this was my first experience dealing with a situation like this. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning to him in the future.

Nick helped me navigate a very difficult lease situation, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. He was responsive, empathetic, and sincere throughout the process. His counsel was wise and measured. He never overpromised, yet consistently delivered exactly what was needed. Nick communicated... thoughtfully on my behalf, handled everything with calm professionalism, and brought clarity to a situation that had felt overwhelming. His leadership was exactly what I needed: steady, fair, and effective. I’m very grateful for his help and highly recommend him.

I recently retained Nick as counsel to help navigate a Quiet Title Lawsuit. I was referred to him by the King County Bar Association and he reached out via e-mail first to schedule a call. After I replied with my availability, we had our first phone consultation which went very well. After listening ...to my side of the story and asking questions to clarify the situation, he expressed exactly how he could help and his fees up front. He was professional, polite and transparent which I truly appreciated. After retaining him, he started working on my case and gave updates in a timely manner. Whenever I had questions and reached out via e-mail, he always responded within a few hours. He was able to resolve the case for me in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend him to my friends and colleagues if they ever needed legal counsel for any landlord or tenant cases.
