The Absolute Best

Hiring Rob Cossey was the best thing I could have done in my terrible legal situation. I was violently assaulted and wrongfully accused of being the assailant in early 2023. I was charged with second degree DV assault with strangulation. This was a horrific ordeal for myself and my family. The entire... charge was DISMISSED after 5 months because he successfully was able to prove that I was not the assailant, I was the victim. He is obviously very well respected in the legal community. As you can imagine, in the aftermath of being assaulted, I was not in the best place, but he communicated with me so well. He was responsive, honest, up front, but also assuring and grounding. He even made me laugh multiple times and I appreciated that. His wife Shirley was also just such a sweetheart and added such a good balance to their partnership in representing me. Multiple times they went out of their way to support me and assure me. Rob and Shirley believed in me the entire time, which meant the world, and they worked as quickly as the system would allow them to in order to resolve the situation. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Not only did they dismiss the charge, the prosecution recognized I was not the assailant, which meant a lot for me to know. I would recommend Rob to anyone and am FOREVER so grateful to him and Shirley and the rest of the office for EVERYTHING. Shout out to Kelly, as well, for being a firecracker and representing me in the PO portion of all of this. She was also just fantastic. Everyone in the office was so kind to me, treated me with dignity, and worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome!! A million thanks to them and a huge recommendation to anyone looking for legal representation (specifically in my case a criminal defense attorney and protection order representation).

Thank you to the office of Robert Cossey and Associates

Words cannot describe the effort that I have received from this office. Above and beyond. Family law is an extraordinarily difficult situation as a loving Father and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be a client. Because of this office I am able to bring a few extra smiles to my son's life ...and we are able to share moments that would not be without the efforts of this office.

CLIENT-FOCUSED!

Rob is an ethical, honest and extremely knowledgeable attorney. In addition, his long career has created and nurtured many relationships with professionals in the Washington legal system where he is highly respected. During my two recent very hurtful legal cases, first for a completely falsified ...restraining order by my loved one, followed by my family law case, I found Rob and his staff truly listen to you to get a full understanding of what your case entails, including the backgrounds of those involved. Rob stays current on the happenings of your case, reads all emails and documents in a timely manner and is very responsive. They guide you along the way; you never feel ignored or put on the backburner. My previous divorce experience a few years ago was disastrous as it became apparent the only goal of attorneys on both sides was to prolong the case, increasing their income while draining their clients of time and money. So I much appreciated Rob and staff lessening the financial and emotional stress involved by zeroing in on the truth, impressive representation at trial and successful efforts to achieve the best possible outcome (the Restraining Order was denied and my family law case was satisfactorily settled out of court). My confidence in Rob and his staff to not only be diligent, but to put me and my case first never wavered. I sincerely enjoyed working with Rob (and attorneys Kelly and Jennifer) as well as Estie and everyone else I encountered at Cossey Law. They are competent, friendly, genuinely nice people who make a painful experience so much more bearable!

What a joke, don't waste your time

Over $10,000 in debt, family life destroyed,took family court case all the way to trial. I walked out with exactly what I was entitled to, nothing more, waste of time and money hiring this firm. Mr Cossey did not partake in one hearing. Judge gave me what I was entitled to, just like if I had came ...in by myself. If you want ripped off hire this firm. If you want a competent attorney look elsewhere.

This attorney and his parallels have to be the most incompetent I have ever in my life come across I had a friend who’s advice I should have listened to she told me when I said rob cossey was representing me my friend said all he will do is take your money and not do anything , I should have listened... he has never appeared at any court hearing w me will not return my calls and when I call I am transferred to his pathetic paralegals that are about as stupid as they come . Just unreal still have never recieved any help on my case from rob or his idiot paralegals and never recieved a call back my case has been done and I paid my court costs , I did it all myself after I paid Rob Cossey thousands of dollars he did not do not 1 thing for me ever never even appeared in court w me he is a thief and just will tell you what you want to hear until you pay him and then he forgets that you exist and won’t even accept a call !!!!!! If you want an actual attorney that cares and does what they say DO NOT hire ROB COSSEY he is a THIEF and WORTHLESS!!!!!! I wish I could rate him no stars at all !!!! He is a joke !!!!!!
