Thank you!
I used the Walthew Law Firm for a recent legal matter and could not recommend them more highly. They were successful in negotiating a settlement on my behalf, at a significantly higher amount than I expected. Moreover, my attorney, Jon Winemiller, and his paralegal, Melina Karadzic, were quick to respond to all of my questions and helped me to close the matter on my behalf efficiently and effectively. I felt like I had a strong team of advocates on my side throughout the process. I would not hesitate to retain Walthew and Jon Winemiller in the future.

If anyone needs legal counsel, Jon Winemiller and Vanessa Gullufsen are the people to see. We live a fair distance from Seattle, and it was worth the long drive in sleet and snow to see them. My wife and I ran into very complicated and confusing legal problems when we got a huge bill about which we had no idea. The legal issues involved two gigantic businesses that don't communicate with each other or their clients. Jon, Vanessa and the rest of the staff put our needs first. From the first contact, they let us know that they were bringing all their expertise to the table, keeping us in the loop. They explained what was going on in terms we could understand. They gave us our options, and we left the meeting with a clear sense of what we should do next in order to resolve things.
