Personal injury claim

I was referred to DiegoGavilanes attorney here in Everett Washington. He listens to my explanation of the car accident I was in and stated he would be happy to assist me. As I went through the process of the legalities of the claim. Diego explained in detail every step along the way. He also got the maximum benefit (cash) out of the claim for me. He is like a pitbull on a pork bone. He won’t let go of anything until all methods of negotiation have been exhausted. And even then if there is a chance he will stay diligent on it till the very end. He and his staff are ready to go above and beyond for you and your family. I highly recommend Deigo and his staff if your looking for an attorney look no further than the Washington law team. Sincerely thanks you Diego and staff for a journey and payoff well deserved. Stan

Immigration test highlights

Diego's legal secretary jodeane helped me correctly fill out the forms so that they would not be returned for corrections. Diego, called me to tell me what the procedure would be when I arrived for my naturalization test, including where to go and what to expect. My test was given over zoom and the proctor did not follow the over 65/25 years part of the test, but I knew enough to pass. Thank You

Lawful Conditional Residency in U.S.A.

Diego is a bright hard working individual who has willfully taken on the difficult task of gaining lawful conditional residency for my wife and performed superbly. This is only one of the significant challenges that Diego has been involved with for me and he again has gone beyond my expectations. I appreciate the expertise and proficiency at which my case has been handled. Diego's abilities and willingness to take the time and effort to work together to solve issues is unmatchable. The knowledge base, dedication and "Great Attitude" are only a few of the qualities that he represents as all of my interactions have always come out successful. I am again very pleased considering the tight constraints that Diego has had to deal with. We are both very happy that we chose him to represent us.

Fights Hard!

This review is a bit overdue. Mr. Gavilanes is a tough, reliable, and hardworking advocate for his clients. As the victim of a motor vehicle accident, he represented me throughout the process. Diego was personally recommended to me by the Snohomish County Bar Association. He listened to the facts, gathered evidence, and fought hard for a good outcome. Opposing counsel was especially difficult in this case. That didn't phase Mr. Gavilanes. Even though my case wasn't valued at millions of dollars, he fought for every penny. I highly recommended him. He's very professional. Give him a call. Thank you, John D. 2020

Great lawyer

Great lawyer. Really happy with all the service he provided to us. He came in on my case far in to it and he worked hard and spent alot of time on my case. I never had any communication problem at all. Always kept me updated on everything. Emails with copies of paperwork and phone calls to keep me updated. We went to trial and he fought and backed me up thru everything. Until the prosecutor gave up. Worth every penny and I would not use or recommend anyone else. Thankyou diego for everything.

Excellent accident settlement

First I would like to commend the staff namely, Maribel Bramall at Diego Gavilanes Law Firm. She gave me a feeling that she had a personal interest in my case. Diego Gavilanes is highly conscientious for the best interest of his clients and I am very satisfied with the results. He made sure I got the maximum limits of the at fault party's insurance policy allowed for my accident. Each time I visited his office he took the time to see me personally.

Great Experience!

Diego and his team were invaluable to us! My dad had questions about some immigration issues, saw one of the paralegals in this office, as well as a few minutes with Diego. The staff was so helpful, not only answering questions, but also educating us how to access specific follow up information online. In addition he encouraged my dad to contact them anytime if he had more questions in the future. My dad said he feels like a cloud has been removed from his eyes, and the world looks brighter! Thank you so much to Diego and your team! We hope you enjoyed the thank you cupcakes!

I always felt comfortable talking to Diego throughout the whole process. He helped me every step of the way through obtaining my Residence Status. He was specific in the information he needed from me along with the timelines, and followed through in his promises. He fought for my rights. When it came to my interview at Homeland Security, it went so smoothly. Thank you very much!

"Excellent Attorney with Impeccable Character I have known Mr. Gavilanes personally and professionally since 2014. In the five years that I have known him, he has demonstrated impeccable legal judgment, community engagement, and a high caliber of professionalism. I have referred many of my clients to his office for personal injury cases, and he is the only attorney in the area that I trust to refer these cases to, especially for those from the Latino/a community. I have also trusted Mr. Gavilanes with my own personal injury case, for which I am extremely grateful for his assistance and his responsiveness at every step of the process. I highly recommend his services."
