Fatima will get the job done in the best possible outcome

Fatima had been nothing but a pleasure to work with from start to finish she handled my case with ease and walked me through every part of it to come out successful. I recommend all my friends and family to Fatima for consultation because no one else can truly best her expertise!

Defense attorney

I was in need of a defense attorney. I called several law offices and none of the attorneys were interested in my side of the events that took place. They wanted me to immediately sign a retainer which did not sit right with me. Until I was given Fatima’s information. She listened to me, did not ...assume I was guilty, did her research on the alleged victim and was in my corner the entire time. She kept me updated on how things were going and helped me understand the judicial system since I have not experienced it before. She took her time answering my questions and she was the perfect defense attorney for me. So happy I found her.

Best professional lawyer.

Really efficient and professional lawyer. I had got into trouble with law and was suggested to Lawyer Fatima by friend. I reached out to her and told everything about my case. After, hearing me she explained me about the consequences and results of my case, she suggested me more options and helps... if I needed to before accepting my case. But, some reason I decided to ask her if she could accept my case and she accepted with really reasonable fee. Throughout, the case and my case hearing never had communication problems with her regarding my case. She always made sure that I had everything I needed in the court or needed to do. My case went on for 5 months and till my last court hearing I had never met her in person. Even then she had helped me out with many other things which I had to do for my case. Finally, my case is over because of her dedication, hard work and professionalism. Also, she is kind, humbled and really helpful person and I am really satisfied with her work.

Moving Violation + Insurance Dismissed

As someone who suffers from anxiety, Fatima was able to keep me calm before and during a contested traffic ticket in Redmond District Court. She pointed out what my BATNA was (pay the fines) but also specified options. She got a moving violation dismissed as well as a $500 failure to show insurance ...charge removed because officer failed to cite right moving violation. He also failed to discuss the insurance issue (I did have insurance just not the card in the car). Not only did these dismissals save me over $700 Additionally, I did not have to use Washington State's one time deferral option (In Washington State, once every 7 years you can ask for a deferral if you have no tickets. You pay a fine of approximately $150 but if you don't get any other moving violations within the next 6-12 months, THIS ticket goes away. What I appreciated further, is she outlined what she would have said to the owner of the other vehicle (he had had moving violations previously for what I alleged (failure to yield) and how she would cross examine him. Her fee was very reasonable. Hire her. You will not regret it.

Solid advice and excellent service

Ms. Dilek was my attorney recently and I could not be more appreciative of her work. She gave me great advice and moved my vase along quickly. But what struck me the most was how attentive and responsive she was to me. That is what truly sets her apart.

"I endorse this lawyer. As a former classmate in lawschool, and now as a colleague in practice, Fatima has consistently proven she's got what it takes in the courtroom. She recently covered a hearing for me, which should have been a non-issue, but she got thrown a curve by opposing counsel. She handled it like a boss; I couldn't have gotten a better result if I was there myself! I can't recommend her highly enough."
