Mr. Kertchen was both very knowledgeable about Washington State Firearm and Vacate Law as well as extremely polite and professional in his dealings with me as a client. This makes him an effective advocate in anyone's struggle to navigate these complicated mechanisms for relief under state law. He wa...s very prompt in responding to any questions and concerns regarding my specific case, even before I had retained his council or paid him a cent. He concisely laid out my options and their implications. After payment, he quickly got to work and I had a court order signed by the judge within 23 days of e-signing our retainer agreement and making payment online. I did not have to show up to a single hearing; Mr. Kertchen and his associate handled the matter to completion, on the other side of the state, without me having to leave the house. I could not have asked for more.
