Won TWO back to back arbitration cases

Michael handled two arbitration cases for us. One was with a builder and one was with an HOA. We were the defendants in both cases. On the builder case we had worked with 3 other attorneys and had basically been told we were screwed. Michael Galletch came in on the tail end of this case; an arbitra...tor had already been assigned. Michael didn't pull any punches he told us it would be an up hill battle, but he immediately got to work researching the situation, he kept us in the loop continually. He wrote a well thought out , thorough brief, the arbitrator agreed with us and ruled in our favor, even awarding us attorney fees! The second case was given to Michael at even a later date than the first case, he basically had a week to prepare for that case. Again Michael Galletch was immediate in action, researching the specifics of our position and wrote a very detailed three page brief for the arbitrator. Once the HOA read Michaels arguments, they dropped their suit, as they were aware that they would loose and would have to pay our attorney fees. We had also worked with three other attorneys on this case. We are extremely pleased with the integrity and honesty that Michael Galletch portrayed. We highly recommend Michael and will use him in the future.

General practice lawyer | May 26

Relationship: Co-worker

"I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer's work. I have known and worked with Mike for five years, and been a partner with him for four. Mike is one of the most diligent, bright and determined trial lawyers I have met (and I have seen a lot having been a deputy prosecutor with King County for five years). When Mike takes on a case he immerses himself in it, identifying issues, strengths and weaknesses, and then formulating a strategy to maximize the strengths and mitigate weaknesses. Mike also has the unique ability to explain a matter, in a clear concise way, to his clients. Mike's balance of honesty, integrity, forthrightness and dogged determination make him a success in the courtroom and in his transactional practice."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Mr. Galletch for several years, and would recommend him wholeheartedly to any person seeking legal advice. Mike confindently and capably takes on complex cases. He is very well respected by the judges that he appears before, and has earned the respect and admiration of lawyers that he opposes. If you have a tough case that needs an attorney who is rock solid-- Mike is your man."
