BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!!

I was a tenant that was being screwed and given the runaround with my landlords. I was given an unlawful eviction causing my family and I to be displaced for months. Most attorneys I called only handled landlords. I saw where Elizabeth worked with tenants. I called her office and right from the start... I could tell she was going to help me. She pulls a tight ship and a very no nonsense woman. She fights for the rights of her clients and compassionate with them as they are going through a tough legal battle. She not only got my judgment vacted she fought tooth and nail to make sure I got everything that I had a legal right to have. She pointed out and challenged the wrong doings of my old landlords. Elizabeth was a GREAT advocate to me and she hung right there with me to the end. If you ever have ANY legal issue especially as a tenant. Call Elizabeth it will be the BEST choice you will ever make. You will not regret it once she is in your corner she will fight for you the very end

Elizabeth gave me all the information I needed to settle my case

Elizabeth was incredibly helpful and responsive right from the beginning. Even though I wasn't sure if I had a case initially, she reviewed all of my documents, spoke with me about what I needed to do next, and provided a list of resources that would help. Research is a part of my job, but I know the...re is no way I would have been able to track down the valuable information Elizabeth gave me that I needed to be able to stand up to my former property management company. Thanks to her, I got the resolution I wanted without having to go to court! I would gladly hire her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who needs legal help, especially in regards to landlord-tenant matters.

Great Attorney Horrible Situation

Ms. Powell helped my husband and me through a horrible experience by getting us the best outcome possible. She was always honest and straightforward, explaining each/every option available to us including possible repercussions. She worked with us and FOR us. Ms. Powell is an attorney I trust, would ...use again and highly recommend to others.

Amazing Help With Elderly Aunt

While my roommates elderly aunt was in a rehab facility her sister and her boyfriend broke into the aunt's apartment & took up residence. They caused so many issues with the neighbors that the landlord threatened to evict the aunt. I sent an email to Elizabeth Rankin Powell explaining the situation... & she immediately called me & helped me complete a vulnerable adult protection order to have the sister excluded from the aunt's apartment. She kept in touch & gave tips on how to present the case to the judge & how to make sure the sister was properly served. Her advice was extremely helpful as my roommate & I live in Oregon & were unfamiliar with Washington laws designed to protect the elderly from abuse. Her familiarity with tenant law was also helpful as she explained to us what the landlord could and could not do with regards to the aunt. Once he knew we were working with an attorney he stopped threatening to evict the aunt & instead stepped up & helped evict my roommates sister. Now my roommates aunt is able to return home without any worries that she will be evicted or face any further issues with her niece. Without the help I received from Ms. Rankin Powell I suspect we would not have had such a positive outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs legal assistance.
