Nonresponsive

I started working with Elizabeth for a landlord tenant case. I provided her with all the details of the matter and she was supposed to represent me on the case. She was very convincing in her knowledge of the law and that she would be able to help me. I called, left voice messages, and sent emails t...o schedule appointments and she would not respond. Once I did get her response, she would make excuses about the reason for the delay. She also informed me we had plenty of time to deal with the matter and we’d have to wait for the landlord’s response. I am uncertain of what she did to work on my case. I had to hire another attorney to work on my case. I would not recommend working with Elizabeth as she was not responsive and unprofessional.

Tenant Liberated from Fraudulent Rental House

Elizabeth listened to my concerns and used her expertise to help me discover that my rental was not only unsafe, but also unpermitted. She gave me comprehensive guidance from the beginning to the end of the path for the appropriate remedy under RCW code. When it was time for a lawsuit, her powerful r...eputation among her peers made achieving an ideal resolution as swift as imaginably possible. Elizabeth is more than just a masterful lawyer. She was also a masterful diplomat in her communications with the parties involved. Some lawyers are robotic or cold, but Elizabeth exhibited genuine empathy and was personable to the extent of seeming like a long lost friend. Elizabeth also puts in the work with a fortitude and youthful energy that defies the weary bitterness that typically accompanies devoting this many years to a profession. I am a self professed introvert and cynic, and found Elizabeth to be comfortable to work with and sincere in her pursuits. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Integrity & Class

My husband and I were in a very desperate and dire situation regarding a predator landlord that was threatening legal action against us. We had signed a lease digitally online because of Covid 19, and when we arrived to do the house tour- all pictures and video we had seen were completely different t...han was given to us. We had found rot in the sub-floor [in a carpeted bathroom! So disgusting!], and multiple instances of mold and water damage. We were calling multiple lawyers and leaving messages on a Sunday from a hotel room. Elizabeth called us back- which is absolutely incredible on a Sunday! She gave us the help and aid that we needed in this dire situation, and told us the steps to go through. She then put us at ease, and said she would represent us if this landlord decided to come after us. Out of the 20+ lawyers we contacted in Washington State Elizabeth was the ONLY one that returned our call! [This is 3 days later!]. Thank you so much Elizabeth for taking care of us, and having the time and integrity to run your practice with compassion, and understanding. We are back at home now, and are so happy to put this gnarly experience behind us!

Successful outcome

Thanks so much Elizabeth for a successful outcome in my recent litigation with a landlord who without reason or proof tried to keep my deposit money. This landlord tried to exploit the fact that I could not travel back to WA due to COVID and had to move out with the assistance of others. The landlord... did not follow any kind of process for move-out, ignoring the move-in documentation and fraudulently tried to claim the entire apartment needed painting and cleaning - neither of which was necessary or even proven by them to be needed. Elizabeth successfully demonstrated that this goes against law and I won a settlement. Excellent outcome!
