Very Helpful

I used Mr. Thompson a few years ago in a very sticky divorce case with two young children involved. Brent was extremely quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns even responding to emails late in the evening and on weekends. He is intelligent, polite, well spoken, and personable. He tru...ly helped me during the most stressful time of my life. Recently my deposit on a rental house was held from me with no clear reason as to why. When I reached out to Brent he responded the next day, willing to help, and remembered me and my children's names. Brent got me my deposit back with a well and sternly worded letted. Then when I asked how I should go about paying him he said "I am not going to bill you for this letter. I am doing it as a courtesy since you were an excellent former client, I value our relationship, and I want to do you the favor." Honestly I would recommend never needing a lawyer. But, if you do Brent will do a great job for you.

Best possible out come !!

Brent Thompson from the first phone call took immediate interest and shared his wide range of knowledge on the matter of my case (DUI). After speaking with a few different lawyers beforehand I knew after this phone call that he would be the best possible option for me. Throughout the lengthily proces...s due to my work in the military he 100% took care of everything including rescheduling court dates, calling me to keep me informed upon new information coming up, and even working to his full extent to find any possible route I would like to take when it comes to trail, deals, Etc. He defiantly made sure I was relaxed as much as I could be knowing he was doing everything he could for my case. The outcome of this situation was not a DUI; he gave me the two best options witch would be to go to trail, or take a deal he worked out with the prosecutor. This deal was to receive a traffic ticket with a max fine of $250 but nothing would be on my criminal record. I decided to take the deal and was very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for his listed areas of practice or even call if it is not !!

Success without ever personally meeting!

I came across Brent in my search for an attorney who specialized in vacating a prior conviction. I reside in Eastern Washington, but the charge I was hoping to vacate was in King County, where I resided most my life. When I researched vacating my felony conviction in the past, I was always met with... conflicting information with no reference to primary source. Brent was extremely knowledgeable in referencing precedence in prior court cases and provided that glimmer of hope. As we went though the process him and his team kept in touch with me frequently. My case was mostly administrative, but these things require trust and confidence. Both of which I believe Brent has a great amount of. I had called several other law offices that wanted to gauge me in fees in what I realized was a very simplistic process, but you pay the lawyer for insurance! Just like your doctor and your accountant. In addition, Brent came across as always sympathetic, a person who provided a realistic hope with solid precedence to reinforce that hope. Things can always change in these cases depending on the judge, but I am very grateful Brent and his team assisted me in this long awaited closure in my life.

General practice lawyer | Sep 19

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Brent is the most competent, hard working, creative, and diligent lawyer I have ever met. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. He obsesses over every detail of every case, constantly trying to get the best possible result for every client. Funny thing is that, after all that commitment to his work, he does get the best results possible. Recently he sued the Federal Government on a gun rights case. I had my doubts that it was a good idea. The Feds can be, shall we say, difficult?. He not only devoted himself to the work, but he won what many would consider to be a virtually impossible case. And he got the judge to order the US Attorney's Office to pay for our client's legal fees in the process. Need I say more? Brent is a phenomenal lawyer and every one of his clients is in great hands."
