    After a very challenging search for well over a year for a good estate planning lawyer (which is…read morenot all about "estate" but which, of vital import, includes health care planning and advanced health care directives)-- having culled through personal recommendations and Yelp reviews--FINALLY I found a good one in Erin Glass! Even with "stellar" personal recommendations and reviews for a number of them, (I actually have a lot of legal experience, so I probably have more knowledge for what constitutes a good lawyer than the average consumer), I was really disappointed (for deeply serious reasons) in the choices until several people directed my attention to Erin. When I interviewed her, I knew I found the right person. Having some knowledge in this area, but without being trained in law myself, her recommendations seemed very sound, helpful, logical, clear and in sync with my own research. She listened well, was very understanding and compassionate, and she was accessible and responsive. This was actually a sharp contrast to a few other experiences, so I was extremely happy to find her. She also has an amazing go-to person in Stephanie who has been so great in meeting all needs and in a timely manner. She pays attention, is a clear communicator, is responsive and serves as the glue between clients and her boss who I am sure is busy as all get out, along with seeing to the myriad details that need doing to bring all to closure. I feel very confident in and happy with this wonderful team.

Having had a couple of bad experiences with attorneys who didn't really sit down with me and my partner to assess our needs, or charged an interview fee before we really could evaluate the services offered, Erin was easy to talk to, relaxed us, made suggestions that we ourselves could work through without her, helped us put specific health concerns into helpful legal documents that could be updated later should our circumstances change. No extra fees, no problems communicating, everything relatively painless. Highly recommend this well established Bellingham legal office.

    Mr Beau Robey is a Fabulous Disability Attorney. Success! I…read morehighly recommend. From beginning to end, he made the entire process easy and painless. My only regret is that I didn't go to him sooner. I cannot say enough good things about Mr Robey. I definitely trust and recommend Mr Robey to anyone who needs a Disability Attorney.

    I met with this office for help with my Social Security disability appeal, and my experience did…read morenot meet the level of professionalism I expected. I got the newbie attorney with least amount of experience. I won't be citing the name to protect privacy. Before the appointment, the attorney emphasized several times that I needed to arrive exactly at the scheduled time because he had a "tight workload" and another meeting right after mine. I arrived early, but I still ended up waiting about 30 minutes past the appointment time before being seen. I felt disrespected as a potential client, I shouldn't have ignored the terse and judgmental tone in the email of "Yes I am, but I need you here right at1:30, because I have a 2:30 appt, and it can be hard to get everything done in 1 hour". The attorney asked if he could stand during our appointment due to medical reasons he had a standup desk so he couldn't sit down for the one hour since he had the option to stand up after the appointment?? Ifelt disrespected with him, standing up and peering over me when he clearly had the option to be able to be seated. During our conversation, I was told I needed to bring a specific denial letter, even though I asked if the office could request it directly from SSA -- something disability attorneys typically handle. I was told that they would not do that due to their large workload and to avoid "confusion in the professional relationship." I felt pressured to immediately go retrieve the letter after the meeting, which I did. However, when I brought it back, the attorney barely reviewed it and simply said he "might potentially" take the case at a later date. I was also given a fee agreement that included multiple charges for things like photocopying, postage, and faxing, which I would be responsible for whether I won or lost. There was no explanation of confidentiality, client rights, or what the representation process would actually look like -- just financial documents. A disability attorney should NEVER say this to a potential client. What he actually communicated was: * "I'm overwhelmed." * "I can't handle more cases well." * "I'm unwilling to do even basic tasks." * "I expect you to make my job easier or I'll get annoyed." Imagine what he'd do when: * SSA requests more evidence * medical records are delayed * a hearing needs preparation * multiple denials stack up * you need him to respond to the judge If he can't handle ONE denial letter without stressing out, he cannot handle a full disability case. This dynamic only gets worse later. * He makes a mistake blames you * He's disorganized pressures you * He's impatient makes you feel at fault That's not a stable or supportive attorney-client relationship. The attorney is: * impatient * disorganized * overburdened * dismissive * manipulative in tone * unwilling to take on basic tasks * showing you attitude before you even sign You're already dealing with: * symptoms * stress * disability claims * rejections * paperwork * uncertainty A disability lawyer who adds MORE pressure is the opposite of what you need. You are supposed to feel supported, not lectured. There is no "consult" done at the free consult meeting and they are looking to nickle and dime clients. Every good SSDI/SSI attorney has a heavy workload. But a professional one would say: "I can request the letter from SSA. No worries -- that's part of the process." His reaction is exactly why clients fire attorneys. Clients deserve someone who: Is patient Helps gather evidence Does not pressure or blame you Explains things clearly Treats you with respect Has time for your case Makes your life easier, not harder Overall, I felt the communication was abrupt, the expectations placed on me were inconsistent, and the approach added stress rather than support. Based on my experience, I chose not to move forward with representation here. Others may feel differently, but I want to share my honest experience for anyone researching disability attorneys in the area.
