Not acceptable

I would strongly discourage using wayne. I used him for a parenting plan modification and was thoroughly disappointed. After reassuring me of his confidence I ended up losing everything we went to court for. He seemed baffled by this. My child support was cut in half. Lost an extra day with my child ...and lost the battle as to where my child would attend school. After convincing me not to try to settle in fear of losing more and getting deeper into debt I was informed I needed to pay my balance owed in full in ten days time or would be dropped. After paying we resumed the battle. I voiced my concerns over finances and after giving my bank account information ( which may be coincidental) I was informed by my court opponent that Wayne was no longer representing me. Sure enough when I got home I had received a letter of his intent to withdrawal as my attorney. I tried calling and sent e mail to ask for reasoning as I was completely confused as well as insulted. I was never given a call back. I feel this was absolutely un professional and rude. Needless to say I am out the moneys paid and searching for a new attorney.

Read this before you hire him!

I rated Mr. Pelligrini as "excellent" in the responsive category due to the fact that he is very communicative and answers my every call, is available when I need to see him BUT - and this is a huge BUT - he does that to run up billable hours! He made me lots of promises as to what he would do for m...e, but has not been able to fulfill any of them. He told me everything I wanted to hear along the way, but when my case went to Court he was unable to deliver - and I lost! He was disorganized in Court, the Judge was constantly having to instruct him and it was horrible.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Wayne Pellegrini is someone I refer cases to with confidence that the Client will be served with excellence and compassion, during a time in the Client's life that may be very difficult. He really fights for his Client's best interests, but never stops listening to the Client's concerns. Wayne is the first family lawyer my firm thinks about when our Client's request a Snohomish County lawyer."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Wayne professionally for at least 4 years and I know Wayne to be highly professional and highly competent. I witnessed this firsthand when he was my opposing counsel in a few highly litigious family law cases. Wayne and I went toe-to-toe and he aggressively represented his client's best interests. I even consulted with him when I had a family law matter of my own years ago. That says a lot about my view of Wayne."
