helped me with traffic tickets.

Ms. Powell went above and beyond the call of duty to help me when I had a traffic ticket and was cited for some law that only a city can disobey. Elizabeth also gave excellent advice when I ran into trouble with my landlord. she is very knowledgeable in her field. Taught me how to shut up in cour...t. a valuable skill.

Would hire again if needed!

Never met her... Yet if you're a landlord with your sh** together and in the military, do exactly as she says , follow the law (we all have the same resources!) and she will facilitate your lawsuit! I've never met the woman but she believed in me and took my case and wouldn't you know, I won :) gra...nted, the defendant is dumber than a kindergartner but from 3000 miles away, Ms. Powell guided me thru every step of the process and if you follow her guidance, you CANNOT go wrong! She knows her stuff whether you're a tenant or a landlord. Trust her, but don't take advantage of her! Pay her! She is well worth the $$.

THE BEST LANDLORD/TENANT ATTORNEY IN PIERCE COUNTY!

Elizabeth helped my family with our landlord issues in May of 2012, She did an amazing job helping us win our case, The landlord in question ended up settling before court because he knew with Elizabeth's help and knowledge he was going to lose! I recommend Elizabeth to ALL my friends who are having ...issues with the same landlord, If I ever have any issues with another landlord, Elizabeth will be the 1st attorney I call! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING MY FAMILY GET OUT OF THAT PLACE!

HONORABLE

Ms Powell was asked to sit in on one of my court dates by my lawyer, and she never left my side after that, and that I will always be grateful. She took a case that involved a child who wanted her mother and a mother who should of never lost her child, this case was going know where in my favor, that...s untill Ms Powell came into my life and this case. This case was already going down hill for a very long time, and so was I, she read and studied mounds of paperwork , handled people who had no heart, gave me hope and excellent advice, most of all she turned a case that looked hopeless. Because of her and how good she is as an attorney,my daughter got her one hope and returned home to the mother that wanted her. She is not only a great Lawyer but she is a very wonderful person and We feel very lucky to have her come into to our lives. Thank you Elizabeth..

Excellent work by an amazing lawyer

Following a number of requests to my landlord to install smoke detectors (among other things) and a subsequent fire in the building where I was renting, I followed Ms. Powell's tenant relocation guide here on Avvo. I hesitated to contact DPD because of possible retaliation but finally submitted a co...mplaint. After looking at the building and my unit, a DPD inspector informed me that indeed there were issues. There were zoning issues, the unit had been created from a garage without a permit, and the unit was ultimately unfit for habitation; and therefore I would have to relocate. I sent a letter to the landlord requesting the amount owed, and when he balked at paying the amounts required under both Seattle Municipal Code and the RCW, the first thing I did was contact Ms. Powell -- and I am glad I did. Within a few days of Ms. Powell's demand letter and follow-up communication with my landlord's lawyer, I had a promise for a check for the full amount (plus Ms. Powell's fees) and only a few days after that I had the check itself. She handled communication with the landlord and his attorney, she kept the flames burning under their laurels, and she managed to keep both myself and the City updated with the status of my attempt to receive the required amount. It felt like had an advocate, an expert, and a personal assistant in Ms. Powell with regard to this issue. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with Ms. Powell's work and I would not hesitate to contact her for a landlord/tenant issue in the future.
