This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Thanks for your help!

I am a Seattle-based real estate professional. I was representing the buyer in a complicated transaction last summer involving a seller that attempted to breach the contract. I appreciate Lee for his guidance in this transaction and would highly recommend Lee as a real estate attorney.

Superb Service

Working with Lee was a pleasure and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance, sound legal advice, and vast knowledge of real estate law. I found myself in the unfortunate position of having to evict a tenant from a condo I rent out and needed legal assistance. Lee guided me through the legal process..., patiently taking the time to explain exactly what needed to happen, when, and why. He then executed flawlessly and efficiently. He responded promptly to all of my questions (no matter how obtuse) and provided me with additional resources to help me understand the laws and procedures. Lee made what could have been a lengthy, complicated, and messy situation into a swift and straightforward process. Excellent customer service and his amazing ability to execute earns him these well-deserved five stars. Look no further if you need one of the best real estate attorneys in the city. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer.

If you find yourself in need a Real Estate Lawyer to get the job done. PERIOD! Call Lee Brettin

I own a condo in Seattle and now live in New York City. I had a tenant that we needed to evict and get the property back and I feared this was going to become a nightmare and didn't know how to handle it being so far away. I did a search for real estate lawyers in Seattle and read some reviews abo...ut Lee and decided to give him a call. Needless to say he was very helpful and responsive. I am not usually the one to write reviews, but since I relied on them, I felt that I should return the favor to others looking for competent responsive help! Lee's level of professionalism and efficient handling of my case needs to be written about. If you find yourself in need of an accomplished, knowledgeable, responsive, honest, straight forward, efficient legal representative, I highly recommend you do yourself the favor and contact Lee. Once you speak with him you will quickly realize that he is the real deal and definitely has the ability to take care of your situation. He has gone above and beyond what was needed to resolve my situation and he diffused the tension and avoided court and lengthy outcomes and extra fees by advising me what I should do. I will be using him in the future to help with the new tenants and feel confident that I have found someone who will allow me to sleep at night knowing, if I need help or advice regarding my real estate Lee is only a phone call or email away. Contact Lee Brettin... you will be glad you did!

outstanding!

Recently, I needed to resolve a convoluted real estate situation. I had spoken with several lawyers, and what brought me to Brettin Law was both the friendliness of the office and the fact that Lee had approached the situation in a way that was practical and visibly motivated to resolve it quickly.... He was also the most knowledgeable of anyone I talked to on specific real estate issues and documentation. Lee shared his analysis of what was going on with me regularly, which made the situation easier to deal with. One of the things I appreciated most is that Lee took the time to explain in detail both the steps needed to resolve the situation *and* specifically coached me on how I needed to behave in order for the issue to be resolved most quickly - this was definitely a highlight (and the issue was indeed resolved quickly!). All in all, I highly recommend Lee and Brettin Law, especially if you are looking for a real estate lawyer.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am counsel with Lee for a common client. The subject matter involves drafting agreements and commenting on licensing(intellectual property) and franchising. He knew both areas very well. He has been particularly helpful in pointing out the subtle relationship between the two, and articulating this in document form in order to protect my client's trademark rights, and at the same time comply with franchise law. Both the client and myself enjoy Lee's personable style, and will continue to work with him. I highly recommend Lee to other clients or attorneys seeking co-counsel in his areas of his expertise."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with lee on a number of cases over the years. I have found lee to be a very good lawyer who pays attention to detail and is well versed in the rules. It is an impressive combination. He has worked with me on cases where in the interest of time, I asked him to conduct some research on some sophisticated issues in a tight time frame. He did a great job, As a result, when I need some help grinding my way though a case and need some help to meet deadlines, I almost always turn to Lee. As a result, I would readily recommend him.
