Top-notch employment attorney

I highly recommend Alex. He represented me in an employment dispute, and I was extremely pleased with the work he did. I needed assistance over a fairly short time frame, and Alex provided timely, excellent representation that met all of my needs. His responsiveness more than exceeded my expectati...ons. His extensive expertise in employment law was critical to the favorable outcome we achieved, and I particularly appreciated his pragmatic approach. Additionally, he is a pleasure to work with and has a great sense of humor. I don’t think anyone else could have done a better job for me.

The Best Lawyer to Have in Your Corner

I was in a life altering situation that had the potential change my future and the future of my family forever. I was referred to Mr higgins by someone I trusted and it was one of the best dicision I ever made. Mr. Higgins is a person of incredible integrity. He is smart, compassionate, well informed..., knows the law and is well respected in the legal community. He kept me informed weekly and whenever there was any change or new developement. The first day of proceedings, opposing counsel consisted of 5 attorneys. Mr higgins wasn't even phased, he was well prepared and waded right into the fray, destroyed the opposing side's case and emerge the clear winner. Alex Higgins never forgot that I was a real person and a family man who was being wronged and needed his help. Maybe that's because he has a family of his own. I would wholeheartedly recommed Alex Higgins to anyone in need of legal counsel, but especially those I care about.

Excellent Attorney

In representing me, Alex proved to be knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and highly ethical. I especially appreciated his kind approach as he separated the legal issues from the emotional, as well as his specific direction on documentation required to support my case. Throughout the proce...ss, he provided clear options and outlined the potential consequences of each. During discussions with my employer’s legal team, he was polite but firm, conducting the meetings with the calm confidence of the well-prepared. Alex kept me informed every step of the way, and he made it clear that I could contact him at any time if I had concerns or questions. When my very powerful employer became intransigent, Alex’s expertise proved invaluable as he effectively pressed for a fair resolution. I was very pleased with the resulting settlement, though Alex would gladly have taken it to the next level if I had wished. I felt I had the very best representation with a compassionate and skillful attorney who was more than a match for the opposition.

Great Attorney

I hired Mr. Higgins in 2010 when I was wrongfully terminated. The first thing that I noticed about him was that he was frank and to the point. He was certainly not going to waste time. I learned to appreciate this considering lawyers charge hourly. He always kept me informed on what was going on an...d made sure I understood everything that was happening. I ended up settling in this situation and not filing a law suit. He later represented me in a business dispute I had. In this situation both Mr. Higgins and I thought it would be an open and shut case. It turned out to be the complete opposite. We ended up having depositions, mediation and then ended up going to arbitration. It was quite a lengthy process and quite exhausting. What I learned about Mr. Higgins during this time is he will not give up! He worked so hard for me. He was amazing. I was very impressed with him. I have recommend Mr. Higgins and will continue to do so. He is a incredible attorney. Very professional and intelligent. He just gets it. At the end of the day he is also a real person and that is refreshing when it comes to an attorney (sorry, but it is). I have the up most respect for Mr. Alex Higgins. Oh and yes we did win the arbitration.

Smart & Empathetic

Alex represented me in an employment claim brought against me as an individual defendant. He always kept me informed of the status of the matter and never used my time or my money unnecessarily. He was always thoughtful in our interactions, understanding the emotional component of such a situation. H...e knows all of the players in the Seattle employment law arena and is well-respected and liked. I would, and frequently do, recommend Alex to anyone, plaintiff or defendant, seeking intelligent, contientious and empathetic representation.
