Very rude Divorce Lawer

Avoid it for a divorce. Like all lawyers he works for him, to prolong the divorce and bill you the maximum amount.

Worst Divorce Lawer

I hired Kubilay Celebi to handle my divorce case, and it has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. If you're considering hiring this lawyer, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Here’s why: Ridiculously High Billing: This lawyer's billing practices are outrageous. I was charged for e...very single minute, even for the most basic email communications. It felt like they were trying to stretch out the case just to pad the bill. I ended up paying much more than originally estimated, with little to show for it. Constant Delays: The process took much longer than necessary. There were frequent delays, and it seemed like my case was constantly on the back burner. When I inquired about the delays, I was met with vague excuses and no real explanations. Lack of Communication: Communication with this lawyer was a major issue. It often took days to get a response to my emails, and phone calls were rarely returned. I felt completely out of the loop during the entire process. Unprofessional Behavior: I noticed several instances of unprofessional behavior. The lawyer showed up late to meetings, and there were times when they seemed unprepared. It was clear that my case wasn't a priority. No Results: Despite the high costs and lengthy delays, the outcome was disappointing. The lawyer failed to achieve the results I was hoping for, and I can't help but feel that a more competent and honest attorney could have done a better job. Overall, my experience with [Lawyer's Name] has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. If you're looking for a divorce lawyer, do yourself a favor and find someone else. I wouldn't recommend this lawyer to anyone.

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!

It has been 4 years since Mr Celebi helped me during very difficult time in my life. From beginning to end he was kind and helpful, I was very impress by his knowledge and efficiency and would recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney.
