Exceptional and Very Knowledgeable Service

I had called several law offices in downtown Seattle briefly stating my homeownership situation. Most of the receptionists were short toned and very un-helpful. When I dialed for Engel Law Group, the receptionist was very warm, friendly and sympathetic. She connected me right away to Dean D'Mellow an...d from there Dean educated me about my options. I was able to make an informed decision on declaring BK7 and Dean "held my hand" throughout the process. He was always available via email and answered all my questions no matter how redundant they were

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
