Prenuptial Agreement - Perfect!

Kubilay (KC) Celebi did an excellent job for me in drafting a prenuptial agreement. I knew I was in good hands from the day we met. I needed the agreement done right away, and he was very respectful of my time sensitivity. KC was very open and honest with me. He took the time to explain the law as it... pertained to my circumstances. KC really listened and took the time to gather and understand all the underlying facts and details of my circumstances. He was very organized. He asked lots of questions, and continued to ask questions and gather more facts thru several e-mails’ exchanges leading up to the final draft. This was all evident in the very detailed prenuptial agreement that he wrote on my behalf. It was spot-on; KC had all the bases covered. I was very pleased with the finished outcome; it was exactly as I had hoped for and needed. I hold KC in the highest regard. I consider him as my family law attorney, should I need one in the future. Thank you KC! I sincerely appreciate all of the effort you put into drafting my prenuptial agreement. My sincere best wishes in the future to you and your law firm.

KC's Family Law Practice

KC has helped me over the years with Family Court issues. He has let me pay for his services at a rate that I could easily afford when other attorneys wanted all their money in advance. He is always at the courthouse ahead of me and explains thoroughly what the hearing is on the docket that day. ...His practice covers many issues, and he is my attorney of choice for all of my legal needs.

Worth every penny

Kubilaye turned out to be quite a competent attorney. My case was a messy divorce with domestic violence, custody battle and all. To make matters worse “the husband” decided he was going to fix me by screwing with my status at immigration. It was a nightmare … sleepless nights, depression, and migrai...nes the likes of which I’d never known before. I didn't know what to do until a wonderful friend of mine suggested Kubilaye; when I went to see him I noticed she wasn't exaggerating on his references. He was patient and he listened. He didn't make me feel like just another meal ticket and I got the impression that he understood what it was like to be in my shoes so i felt completely comfortable talking to him. Usually people don’t get it, they can imagine what it’s like but you have to have experienced the nightmare to know what I mean, and Kubilaye got it. As I talked with him more I found he was very knowledgeable and he didn't deflect when there wasn't an answer right away but rather he was forward and would research the particular laws that applied to my complicated case. Later, he told me about organizations out there that help victims of domestic violence. He guided me toward the right kind of help and followed up with me to make sure things were going well and that I was staying on track with the assistance I was receiving, while he dealt with the legal issues. Ultimately, Kubilaye won my divorce case, my custody battle, and the immigration was off my back. My life has been completely turned around in a positive way since and the long unhappy days are just distant memories. Please, understand that I don’t mean to over sale this man. He was not the first attorney I consulted especially when it came to immigration. I spent lots of money just to be told that i couldn't be helped. But Kubilaye didn't give me false hope and he did a tremendous amount of research until he found a way, all at a very reasonable cost. God knows what it’s like going through hard times and how many crooked attorneys are out there trying to make a few bucks off of victims. But domestic violence is not a joke so I’m sharing my experience with this attorney. Would I recommend Him? Most certainly! And I did recommend him to a friend who was pleased with his services and recommended him in turn to her brother. To the best of my knowledge they both had nothing but good things to say about his practices.

I was very happy with the help I received from Mr. KC

Mr. Celebi helped me with my divorce and other family related issues. I hired him several times. He is very trustworthy and honest. He returned my phone calls in a timely manner. I was very happy with the results. He was not after maximizing his charges, he was truly working on achieving the best res...ults for me in a cost effective manner which I very much appreciated.

Highly Recommended

Mr. Celebi represented me during my divorce and I highly recommend him. He has a lot of experience as a lawyer and it shows! He was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and he kept me up to date throughout the entire process. I was very happy with the results! He is also very honest about bil...led hours, he doesn't try to bill you for this and that, and his overall fees were very low in comparison to what some other people I know paid during their divorces. If you need an attorney in the Seattle/Everett area, go see "KC" Celebi!
