Class and professionalism
Mr. Kendrick represented me on a complex case involving prescribed medicine. Mr. Kendrick and his team were compassionate knowledgeable, professional and we were able to get results through plea that were better than expected. I am very grateful for Kip and his team, whom helped my family and I through a difficult time.

Making an unpleasant experience less of a burden.
Mr. Kendrick was a great legal representative to have on my side while dealing with my case. The staff and the para-legals were easy to talk to, helped me start and understand my case and trial. Mr. Kendrick explained my situation in a professional and helpful manner to help me understand what was going to happen and the process of what was going to occur. Thanks to Mr. Kendrick and his staff, I was able to have my legal obligations reduced and breathe a sigh of relief. Would highly recommend to anyone.

FREE CONSULT DONE!
I got a failure to yield and was worried because I am in a driving position. Finding a traffic ticket lawyer seemed to be hard to do in Yakima. I am sure most defense attorneys do it, but most seemed to be for more serious criminal non traffic offenses like robbery or murder. I stumbled across a few and wasn't impressed with most because of not returning calls, and/ or having to make an appointment. I work 50+hr weeks and only get one half day a week. When I called Kendrick and Malone Office, the receptionist was immediately able to assist me with my many questions. I was also invited to come in same day for free consult. When I arrived, the staff was patient with me while I was with my child and the paralegal was great! She answered a ton of my questions, told me what was realistic, and armed me with so much info, that I even felt confident I might have contested on my own or more likely, defer to avoid paying for representation. I really do appreciate the professionalism of this office; they really made me feel they were on my side and not out to get my money. Will definitely hire!
