I highly recommend Eric McDonald/Compass Legal…read more I came to Eric Mcdonald during a stressful, overwhelming, and confusing situation. He immediately provided clarity and confidence. His knowledge of the law, professionalism, and clear guidance made the entire process manageable from start to finish. Eric protected my rights, held the other party fully accountable, and successfully secured a court order requiring reimbursement of my attorney's fees. His attention to detail and strategic approach truly made a difference in my case. His staff was also exceptional! They were very knowledgeable, kind, and professional, with consistently prompt responses.

The family law portion of this firm is very expensive and they do not stand up for the rights of…read moretheir client in anything more than a minimal, basic way. I felt under represented and disregarded when it came to my rights in a divorce. I ended up paying nearly 3X what I was originally quoted only to walk away with absolutely nothing in a community property state. I do not recommend this firm to anyone for family law.

John Groseclose is a rare kind of attorney -- deeply ethical, sharply strategic, and relentlessly…read morededicated to doing what's right. I've been represented by John in a long, high-conflict custody battle, and I can say without hesitation that having him as my attorney changed the entire course of my case -- and my daughter's life. From the beginning, John demonstrated unmatched patience and professionalism. My case involved repeated violations of the parenting plan, medical neglect, travel disputes, safety concerns, and emotionally draining communication patterns from the other parent. Through all of it, John remained clear-headed, responsive, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to understand the full picture -- reading through timelines, messages, medical records, and incident reports -- and he never made me feel like I was alone. What sets John apart is how grounded and strategic he is in court. Despite aggressive tactics and misinformation from the opposing side, he stayed focused on the facts and the law. He doesn't play games -- he builds a case methodically and ethically, and the judge saw that. He never made false promises, and he didn't have to: his work speaks for itself. When it came time to challenge a GAL report full of inaccuracies and bias, John didn't back down. He brought in expert witnesses, therapist input, and hard evidence that ultimately led the judge to reject the GAL's recommendations and rule in favor of protecting my child's best interests. That alone speaks volumes. Throughout this process, I've leaned on John not only as an attorney but as a guide through some of the most overwhelming moments of my life. He treated my case like it mattered, and it did -- because it was about my daughter. He always remembered that. If you're looking for someone who's experienced, no-nonsense, child-focused, and genuinely invested in doing what's right -- John Groseclose is that attorney. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Not only was he able to save my Coast Guard career, he saved my pension, my retirement fund, was able to get me 50/50 custody, my house, oh and not to mention no child support. I'm blessed to have had the outcome I was dealt and I have a few things to thank for that. Family, Friends, GAL & Scott Kalkwarf! If you need an attorney, get one that already appeared to have the respect of the court. He was able to get exactly what we had discussed and more in his office prior to going before the judge. For you mothers or fathers that are thinking to yourself as I did "I think I can just do this on my own. I don't really need an attorney do I ? I can't afford an attorney so I'm screwed!" Well.... Beg, Barrow, max out credit cards, get a 3rd job, whatever it takes... He's worth it! Scott, if you ever read this, know that my son & I are eternally grateful.

I highly recommend Scott Kalkwarf as a family court attorney. I had a very difficult case that…read moreinvolved multiple states (jurisdictions) and an aggressive ex-partner that did not play fairly.

His billing was accurate and easy to review. I am grateful to have found Scott, he is very good at his job.

Larry had one of the first computers in his law firm within Kitsap County. I learned early on that he is a skilled negotiator and knowledgeable. I have had over the years a number of cases with Larry and against him. He is always a gentleman and we settle quickly because he knows the law, he usually has a reasonable solution and he is not afraid to go toe to toe with anyone. My dad, Sam Peach, was an attorney for 52 years up in Bellingham. He was highly regarded as one of the top real estate attorneys in the state of Washington. I am proud to know someone like Larry Hall. He now has that same reputation as one of the top real estate attorneys in the state of Washington and I hit him up for guidance, just like I did when my dad was still alive and I was starting out.. You cannot go wrong hiring Larry Hall to represent you in an issue involving real estate.

Ashley got me a great settlement after my dog and I were attacked by 2 pitbulls. The whole process though long and difficult was made much easier by working with Tanya and Ashley.

When I came to her office, I was so unsure of the outcome and was afraid of the situation, but she made it so simple and I appreciate that more than she could imagine. Being on the receiving end of the accident had caused a lot of pain and stress, but Crystal lightened that burden from the start.

I was injured in an auto accident in 2022, just before moving across the country to Pennsylvania…read more I contacted Becker, Franklin, Rovang to seek assistance. I was quickly contacted by my Attorney Ian De Verna and he began working my claim. Ian was able to get a quick payout from the others drivers policy and the personal injury protection from my own. Ian, Destiny, and team assisted me along the way, while pursing the underinsured motorist policy from my insurance provided, and fought hard to get even more than the max payout, regardless of how much my own provider resisted. The tenacity of this team allowed this over coverage payout to happen, all while keeping me informed and encouraged. The whole team was personable and I always enjoyed our conversations. This accident caused a lot of hardships in my life but the outcome was better than I could have ever expected. Although I don't intend to get injured again, I would seek representation from Becker Franklin Rovang without questions if I did, specifically Ian, Destiny and team. Thanks you very much, Jeffery A.
