Review

“I had a consultation with Urquia Law regarding a motor vehicle accident I was involved in. The other driver was at fault, and I sustained significant injuries which required surgical intervention. When I spoke to their paralegal, it was very easy to express my concerns and needs. I was asked thoro...ugh questions and was kept informed throughout the whole settlement process. I was so nervous about going through the settlement process and working with insurance companies but not with the assistance of Urquia Law. I would recommend anyone in need of legal counsel to seek their expertise. Thank you, Urquia Law for the care and respect.”

Extremely Pleased

My massage therapist recommended and referred me to Urquia Law after my car accident. I found that Rafael and Eva were both extremely knowledgeable with my personal injury case. They were very responsive, professional, and empathic throughout my entire case. They both explained each step to me from b...eing to end. (and more than one time). Simply phenomenal. I am very pleased with the outcome. I recommend them to anyone!!! Linda D.

He was there for me all the way through.

Urquia Law helped me after I was rear-ended by a bus. Amongst many physical injuries, I got a traumatic brain injury and couldn’t think straight, let alone see or talk right for a while. Rafael handled everything for me. He went above and beyond all the way. I liked working with him and Eva because t...hey are very honest, kind, and respectful. He made himself available to me as quickly as possible when I wanted to speak to him. It was important to me that I had an attorney that was/is honest. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone who is truly on their side.

First-rate, honorable, ethical, honest, and kind

I was injured in a motor vehicle collision that occurred in Seattle. After not being able on my own to reach a fair settlement agreement with the insurance company, I received a recommendation to contact Rafael Urquia. I felt a huge relief like a burden lifted away the instant Rafael and Eva expertly... began advocating for me. They always communicated updates promptly and took the time to answer my questions or address any concerns in a caring, friendly, professional manner. I’m very happy with the resolution of my case and with the settlement Rafael obtained for me. I will always be thankful for the great care, consideration, and encouragement I received from Rafael and Eva. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Urquia Law.

Exceptional Representation

I had a truly positive experience from start to finish with the team at Urquia Law. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I was in good hands. They were truly wonderful about explaining the entire legal process, answering all of my questions, and alleviating my many fears. They handled every l...ast detail for me, which allowed me to focus fully on my physical recovery. Throughout the entire process they checked in on me, kept me well informed, and offered me kind words of support and encouragement. I will always be grateful to them for representing me with such honor and integrity.
