Highly Recommended

We highly recommend Merv Thompson. We were very impressed with him in our first meeting. He is personable and very knowledgeable. He helped us solve a nasty dispute with a remodeling contractor that had been going on for over two years. We had a lot of material to present to him regarding our probl...em and he listened intently. He gave us several options and told us what to expect. We hired him on the spot. He kept us informed of progress along the way and made sure we knew what our charges were at every step. The problem was resolved in just over three weeks. We would use him again with no reservations.

We recommend Merv Thompson

Having never hired an attorney prior, we were delighted to meet Merv Thompson. He was very approachable with an amiable disposition and very knowledgeable about real estate law. He was very responsive and helpful, with specific solutions to our issues. He displayed a refreshing blend of professio...nalism paired with a down to earth communication style. We were very pleased with our experience and plan to use Mr. Thompson for any future attorney needs. We highly recommend Merv Thompson.

Good experience!

I am a client. I have used Mr. Thompson on a couple of occasions. I have always been completely satisfied with his representation. He is very professional and courteous. I will not hesitate to use his services in the future.

He has consistently come through for over 20 years !

I have been a business owner in Skagit County for about 25 years. Periodically, a situation presents itself that requires legal advice. I have always received timely and solid advice from Mr. Thompson. For me, what I value most is his ability to advise me on how to prevent a small problem from escala...ting into a larger problem which could easily end up in litigation. After using his services off and on for at least 20 years, I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Very helpful

My husband and I sought advice for mortgage issues and Merv was very honest and knowledgeable about our situation. He offered to help, but said we could save money and explained how to do it ourselves. He referred us to another attorney who was able to answer our questions and specialized in our situ...ation. Merv's consultation cost was reasonable and affordable.
