Truly Exceptional Attorney

Ian is truly an exceptional attorney. From the moment I met him, he's shown me exemplary professionalism and expertise while demonstrating a dedication to my estate matters which I am grateful for. Ian's a strong advocate for protecting his clients’ interests through his communications and negotia...tions of estate litigation matters. What stands out to me given my legal experiences with other attorneys, is not only Ian’s knowledge of the law, but his exceptional retention of case facts in what has been described as a very complex multi-layered estate, probate and litigation case. With the highest level of integrity, Ian has effectively and efficiently handled my estate and probate matters. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone who needs an estate or probate attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, skilled and a dedicated advocate for his client’s interests. Sue

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!

Professional, kind and calming

When I contacted Mr. Wyckoff I was very confused, emotional and concerned about a personal financial situation not knowing how to proceed as it was extremely important to complete quickly and properly. I was so worried about major legal costs with hiring an attorney but needed help and guidance. M...r. Wyckoff was so professional, kind and calming. He Reviewed all correspondence I had received and reviewed my documents finding what he felt the issue was. He was clear with the steps I could take on my own and was fairly certain the outcome would be positive without needing to hire him to fully assist. I took his advice, followed the steps and SUCCESS. I will be forever grateful for his patience and understanding of my concerns and making what could have been a disaster financially into a matter resolved in a few weeks. I would definitely seek his guidance and hire him if ever needed and will recommend him highly with no hesitation.

Great Experience

Ian was great handling my mother's probate. He was focused on the best options for me personally moving forward with my case and offered options that were not motivated by money, his resourcefulness and quick turn around with detailed information was impressive and his respect towards me and my curr...ent situation was much needed. I greatly appreciate his time and responsiveness to my questions and concerns and he was extremely honest about what to expect and walked me through every step of the process. His guidance was much appreciated.. I cannot recommend this attorney highly enough,

"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."
