FOREVER GRATEFUL!

Posted by

The best decision I ever made was to entrust Mr. Gavilanes and his team with my application for citizenship. Mr. Gavilanes is a well-known and highly respected Immigration attorney in the area and in my opinion, the absolute best. His professionalism, hard work and dedication made this process a pleasant and unforgettable experience for my family and I. Thank you so much for representing me and guiding me at every step of the way and for giving me the confidence I desperately needed. I am proud to call myself a US citizen now and will forever be grateful to you and your firm. May God Bless you indefinitely Señor Gavilanes.

Fights Hard!

Posted by

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

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.

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.

Brandon Gillin, Immigration Attorney on Sep 4, 2014

I worked alongside Diego at a Citizenship Day event in Mount Vernon. He is upbeat, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. Great immigration attorney.

John O'Brien, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 8, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community.

Ron Meyers, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 24, 2014
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

I endorse this lawyer. I worked for Diego when I was studying to take the bar examination after finishing law school more than 30 years ago. He was smart, hard working and a tireless advocate for his clients. He encouraged me to work with him on an apartment fire case involving the death of a young child. That experience influenced my career. He is a mentor and a great lawyer!

Michael Waddington, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 14, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse Diego. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

Judith Hendricks, Immigration Attorney on May 31, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Diego for over 30 years. He was just fresh out of law school working for the downtrodden and poor at the now defunct Evergreen Legal Services. As he branched out to his own private practice, I have worked with him jointly with dissolution cases that included immigration issues. Diego has referred cases to me and I have referred cases to him as I find his work to be superior. I trust Diego and have no problem in endorsing my long time friend and peer.

Cornelia Clark, Immigration Attorney on May 30, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Mr Gavilanes is a great attorney. Not only do I know him as a fellow attorney and I have referred many matters to him with great outcome, but I also know him as my attorney. He did my immigration for me and it went very smoothly and it made the process real easy. I would definitely recommend him.

Royce Ferguson

I endorse this lawyer. I have known Diego for over 30 years and once worked in the same law firm for about five years. He is one of the most ethical, honest and conscientious lawyers I know. He strives to do the right thing. I also consider him my friend.

Mirka Nakovski, Immigration Attorney on Aug 5, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Diego has many years of experience in immigration law and is very knowledgeable. He cares about his clients and knows how to help. I endorse this lawyer.

Tom Gissberg, Immigration Attorney on Nov 1, 2007
