Free Consultation
$0 first 30 minutes
Choosing an attorney is little different than choosing a doctor, accountant, mechanic, or any other professional that can turn out to be a blessing or a burden. Try to take time to interview a couple different attorneys before making a decision. Ask people you know, read advertisements, and use whatever information you can get. In the end it will be how well you communicate with the attorney that will make a huge difference. It is also important that the person you choose is capable to achieve your goals - you may not know if your attorney can do this until it is too late. Unfortunately, none of the statistics on this website (length of time in practice, publications, solicited testimonials, etc) can really determine competency of your attorney. Once hired, keep analyzing your attorney and change attorneys if needed, don’t wait until it is too late.

Waste of time and money
Hired Wade to help me get custody of my kid. Waste of time and money! Talked up a good talk when he did his consultation, but when it came to the real thing, he totally choked on every front. Didn't get back to me no matter how many times I emailed or called. He does pro bono work and that's probably...
I'm sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately, I don't know who "Don" is (or I would contact him directly) and perhaps you have the wrong attorney. If you are or were a client of mine, then I would suggest you to call my cell phone number (that all my clients are given) since you are correct in that I run the Kitsap pro bono program and I only take a few private cases. If you hired me for a "consultation" and that was all I promised to do for you because I am not accepting new cases and you were unhappy that I could not do more, then I apologize for any misunderstanding. For cases I do accept, I respond to voice messages and emails within 2 business days (and request another contact if this does not happen). I also charge much less than other attorneys by providing different levels of service (and thus cannot help everyone with what they request) . . . from an inexpensive consultation, to limited help as a person needs it, to only helping for one part of a case, to full representation. If you truly are a former client of mine - and this is not an anonymous attempt by a non-client to cause negative impressions - then I look forward to your communication to resolve any perceived problems.
