Thank You
My daughter got rear ended and had bad whiplash. She kept treating but she just wasn’t getting better. We knew that she needed an attorney. We called Telare Law and I am so happy we did. We spoke to Darlene and she listened. Then we worked with Danielle and George - they were so easy to talk to and h...

Knowledgeable and Professional
When I needed a personal injury attorney, I had no idea where to begin looking. Fortunately, a friend referred me to George Telquist at Telare Law. My case was complicated with many facets. Not only was it a third party lawsuit, it also included issues with L&I, and my employer. Not to mention de...

Worth every penny!
I am 2.5 years into a very messy divorce. My previous attorney didn't get things handled the way they should be, so I hired George. He is very on top of everything and always makes me feel like a priority! We have had more completed in 3 months than in 2.5 years! Highly recommend!
"George is a passionate and knowledgeable advocate for his clients. He works hard to move cases forward in a results-orientated manner. As an opposing counsel, he is practical and no-nonsense. I endorse this lawyer."
"George is incredibly knowledgeable and tactful in all that he does. He gets to the point, knows the strengths and weaknesses of his cases and consistently puts himself (and his client) into the best positions for settlement or a successful Trial result."
"I endorse this lawyer. George is an excellent lawyer. I have worked with him multiple times on various litigation pieces and find him very gifted in his talents advocating for real people with real problems. He attacks each case to win. He starts with a thorough understanding of the law before advising clients or making arguments to the court. He is willing to take risks, represent those without voices, advance a novel theories of law, finds a way to get the best answer/result for a client, and above all always does what he believes is right. I greatly admire this lawyer and what he brings to the practice of law."
"I have worked with and against Mr. Telquist and have found him to be both professional and aggressive. If I can't handle a matter, I refer my clients to Mr. Telquist."
