Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Bob is an accomplished attorney and knows how to get things done in the best possible way. If it means negotiation, he's incredible; if it means trial work, he's superb. You couldn't ask for better representation.
Laura Hoskins, Family Attorney on Mar 14, 2015
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Bob is an outstanding attorney, a zealous advocate and a kind, compassionate individual. He is absolutely amazing. As an opposing counsel, he is a formidable foe. I have known Bob since the very start of my legal career. When I need help with a particularly complex legal issue, he is the first person I call.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have had the pleasure of having Bob Getz on the other side of my cases in the past, as well as having him as my next door neighbor. He is an aggressive (when necessary) and competent advocate on behalf of his clients which has certainly resulted in some memorable tete-a-tetes in the courtroom. I endorse him without hestitation.
Joshua Foreman, Family Attorney on May 2, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
It is a pleasure to endorse Bob Getz. He is one of Snohomish County's most respected lawyers. Bob is President of the Snohomish County Bar Association Family Law Section, an honor from his peers that means a lot. He was a lawyer in the Navy and is a superb choice for people in the Navy who need a lawyer. I have the highest respect for Bob; he is one of the few lawyers that I regularly consult. Bob's low rating from AVVO is absurd, the result of AVVO's over-reaction to clearly excessive Bar discipline because he got involved with a woman who wasn't even a client. His law firm runs like a well-oiled machine, providing excellent service for his clients. Your choice of attorney should be based on what's best for you, not on whether or not your lawyer got burned when a woman kissed and then told. Many male litigation attorneys have more than our share of testosterone, and that's good for our clients. Give Bob a call; you'll be glad you did!
