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

Contract Dispute

My (now) wife and I had signed a contract months in advance with a venue location on Lake Union for our wedding ceremony and reception and thought everything was perfect. It was not until weeks before our specified date and a trip to the location to finalize plans for decorations and vendors that wer...e we informed that the venue was no longer honoring their terms of the agreement and had changed multiple aspects of what made us choose them in the first place. They told us we had no choice but to accept their changes as "We are not booking weddings anymore so you will be the last anyways" as though that was an acceptable reasons. Their communication then became sporadic, and we consulted with Ian (Michael) and ultimately utilized his services to void our contract with the location and return all of our deposits paid (which were non-refundable at the time and not an insignificant sum). He was very quick to respond to us, and was able to get the venue to respond just as promptly, which they did not extend the same courtesy to us before hiring him. Absolutely will be using Ian again in the future for any legal issues.

Fantastic and Effective

I found the best possible lawyer out there, you can too if you get Ian Wyckoff. An outstanding litigator! He got me results so quickly when I was so far in over my head for 2 separate issues. He is productive, timely, and a master in the courtroom!! I had no idea, then BOOM he gets it done. I am so... lucky to have found him. I can't say enough about his skills, my words won't do him justice so give him a call and find out for yourself.

Litigation lawyer | Dec 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."
