Absolutely the Best – A Powerhouse Attorney Who Truly Cares

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Rondi Thorp. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt seen, heard, and supported. She didn’t just handle my L&I case with incredible professionalism- she fought for me like it was personal. Throughout the entire process, she was responsi...ve, thorough, and beyond knowledgeable. She broke everything down so I could understand each step, and always made sure I felt confident in every decision we made. It was clear from day one that she genuinely cared about getting me justice—not just closing a case. Because of her hard work and dedication, we won my entire L&I case. I finally feel like I can breathe again, and I owe that peace of mind to her. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond, who actually listens and knows how to WIN-look no further. She’s not just a great attorney, she’s a game-changer.

Awesome Lawyer

Rondi has done a great job. She makes me feel comfortable in the hearings and makes the opposing look ridiculous. I have no complaints and would recommend her to anyone. She always keeps me relaxed and reassured. She won two hearings for me so far and will continue to represent me.

Work injury

I feel very fortunate to have found Rondi to handle my case when I was injured on the job. I had no direction on how to handle the situation. She came highly recommended by others that have used her services as an attorney handling work case injuries. She got me going in the right direction. She... is kind & really does fight for workers rights. Thank you Rondi for all you did for me.

I Could Go On and On…..

My husband was hurt on the job in 2013. We were able to navigate the system for just over a year, when the language and policies became so complicated that it was clear we needed expert help. Rondi was recommended to us and I called her, she called back within hours. I sat in my car on my cell phon...e in tears consulting with her telling her advice was coming in all directions and none of it was for the well-being or benefit for my husband who had spent most of his working life working for this one company. I was confused about my husband’s rights and needs and how this all worked. Rondi assured me that he had rights and took us on as clients. From that day forward and over the past 7 plus years- she has been a constant source of knowledge, guiding us and winning for us!! I cannot express fully the level of trust we have in her. She always took our calls or emailed us promptly; never acting as if we were a nuisance. At every turning point in our journey she has believed in our case and never gave up. I don’t know if our case was complicated or just a standard situation…. It doesn’t matter- Rondi made us feel heard and that we mattered. Rondi- is one of the kindest people we have ever met. She is so intelligent and knowledgeable. There is no way we could have had the outcome we have without her expertise and guidance. We are so grateful.

Disappointing

I had a meeting(Consultation) with Rondi regarding my case. She went over all of my options and went through the consultation process. After all of this I was pawned over to an attorney who worked with her(David). This attorney did not ask questions during the consultation, and I was unsure of who th...ey were. I trusted her judgement during the consultation and went with her advice in hiring this individual who worked in her office. Unfortunately, my case was butchered because of this, and I am extremely disappointed in the communication, or lack of communication I received after, and was flabbergasted when I found out the recommended attorney rarely worked on cases like mine. My health and well-being was the last thing she cared about. I could not recommend this attorney.

Dear Anonymous: I am so sorry to hear about your difficulties with the attorney you hired to represent you that I apparently recommended. However, I want to be clear that I did not represent you in your case. Unfortunately, since I can only take so many cases per year, I am not able to take all of the cases that seek my help. I understand that this makes people unhappy when I cannot take every case that seeks my help. My legal services are in high demand as I have been consistently rated a top 10 attorney for years on AVVO, have been named by Spokane/Coeur D' Alene Living Magazine as one of the best attorneys in the area for the past five years in a row and I genuinely care about all of my clients. I have helped my clients obtain millions of dollars in benefits over my 18-year career. All of my reviews from clients I have represented are five stars. I am so sorry it appears I could not take your case and represent you personally. However, I would love the opportunity to help you since it seems you are under some distress regarding your case and that you are not pleased with your current level of service by your attorney? I am not sure which attorney you hired to represent you? It is hard to evaluate what has happened when I don't know all of the facts, but most Labor and Industries issues can by fixed and I would be happy to try to assist you in fixing your case and making it better for you. Please call me or email me directly so we can see how I can help you (509) 533-1511. I truly believe I can help you and I truly care about injured people.
