Smart and Professional

Ian is smart. He's also likeable. While that may not seem important for an attorney, it certainly helps when he's dealing with opposing counsel. He's got a knack for legal strategy and will always tell it to you straight. He should probably charge more for his services.

Everything you'd need in a lawyer

Mr. Wyckoff is intelligent, efficient, and above all honest. I am a very difficult client and he helped guide me through my mess of a case, patiently explaining all the details throughout. Everything he said happened exactly as he predicted. He's a very trustworthy guy. I would strongly recommend hi...m!

Re: Trust and Estate Law

I hired Mr. Wycoff to address a family trust issue I had in Island County. I had tried to fix the problem myself but found the court and attorneys there to be clannish and impossible to work with. Since I am out of state I called multiple attorneys before Mr. Wycoff and he was the only one willing to... consult with me multiple times because I was relaying the information to my brother in another state and together we were deciding what to do. Ultimately, we hired Mr. Wycoff and he explained exactly what he would provide for the fee we paid. Each time the next step was complete Mr. Wycoff gave us the information we needed to make educated decisions whether to move forward in the process or stop. We always felt in control. Eventually Mr. Wycoff concluded our case successfully and we were thrilled. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I'm so happy to have an attorney in Washington that knows the law and is available for any more issues that come up as they probably will because...family lol I highly recommend Mr. Wycoff and kind of miss talking to him although I don't miss the problem he handled for me one bit!

Honest and Straightforward

Mr Wyckoff did an excellent job for me when I was in need of legal counsel- he was very patient when listening to my needs, explained the choices of direction to go and was very upfront and honest about the potential different outcomes from those choices. I was very impressed in that Mr Wyckoff was v...ery aggressive when representing me in this particular case. I have referred my friends to Mr Wyckoff and will continue to do so when asked "Do you know a good attorney..."

For Those Who Enjoy Winning

As the owner of a small business, I quickly learned that everyone will need an attorney at some point. If you want to walk away from the experience with handshakes, smiles, and they money you deserve, then look no further than Ian Wyckoff. A disgruntled client of particular sauciness slapped my co...mpany with a frivolous lawsuit, and hired one of the local large firms to lead the charge. North City Law confidently and rapidly responded to my inquiry with keen insight and strategy, and I knew instantly that I had found the right representation for the daunting challenge ahead. Mr. Wyckoff worked on my case in a support capacity until his license to practice became official, at which time he took over completely. Unlike the plaintiffs, I am so happy with my choices. Ian and crew carefully crafted our answer after hours of deep-dive interviews and an acute attention to detail in a multi-faceted case. We submitted the answer on a Friday, and by Monday the opposing council was calling with a settlement inquiry! Ian established a relationship with the other side, and used his intimate knowledge of my case in tandem with credible suggestions of our next moves to come away with the best possible settlement terms for our company. I was paid every last cent that I was owed, and it's all thanks to the hard work of Ian and the North City Law Firm. Hire a big-name firm from downtown, and you're mostly paying for their expensive rent. NCL has fair, clear, and oh-so-worth-it rates just a short drive up I-5. Hiring Ian was the best move I've made as an entrepreneur.

"I hired Ian as co-counsel on a civil litigation matter and truly could not have asked for a better partner. I was already aware of his top-notch research and analytical skills, but he has proven himself to be an immensely conscientious, communicative, and efficient lawyer who will not waste his clients’ time or money. He is exceedingly thorough, strategizes with a view far down the line, and will take the time to explain the law, options, and possible outcomes. Whenever I need to refer clients in Ian’s areas of practice, he will be the first person I contact."
