    This review is specifically centered on Paralegal Michelle Holeman. I had been a client of the firm…read morebecause it was more affordable for my tiny non-profit to work with a lawyer outside of Seattle. We had a junior attorney who is a friend of a friend. She was ok and did not specialize in non-profits, but we stuck with her because of the personal relationship. In hindsight, we should have requested someone who specialized in non-profits, as much of her work had to be redone. That's not JDSA's fault - that was on me. However, Michelle, the firm's paralegal that deal with our corporate renewal has always been super on top of things and extremely patient as we were a bit in over our heads. We subsequently got pro-bono representation at a very large firm after our lawyer left JDSA, but the new firm didn't handle the renewal part, and Michelle was super kind to give me instructions on how to change the registered agent to myself and even went in to make sure I did my first filing correctly! Overall my experience was great. I could not recommend JDSA more for their affordability and for the chance to work with Michelle.

    Ok. My son got a dui. Not good by any means but we live and learn. One of the best decisions we…read moremade was hiring Tony to represent us. He is a professional, honest and a good person. What more can you ask for? Although we hope to never be in the position again, we are very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend working with Tony. He's top shelf, 24/7!

    Tony Swartz was my second attorney as I had terrible experiences with my first attorney (she rarely…read morecommunicated with me, never responded to my phone calls and emails, and never completed the work she had promised she would). I was referred to him after 1.5 months of my terrible experiences with her. Working with him on my case, I strongly recommend him for your case defense for four reasons: his competency in laws, prompt work performances, organized work, and effective communication skills. 1. Competent and knowledgeable This is the most important thing that you should be looking for when hiring an attorney, and Tony offers the assets.Tony is a competent and knowledgeable attorney. During my deposition hearing, he made sharp and strong arguments and easily convinced the Judge to subpoena the accuser who had refused to continue to cooperate. All of my friends present at the hearing was very impressed how sharp and competent Tony was as a defendant attorney. His approach definitely comes from his competence and experiences with trials. He has been to more than 60 trials, and he understand how jurors perceive cases. I could see he is a very experienced and skilled attorney. He is also very sharp and come up with ways to discuss the case. When I send him materials that I have found with regards to my case, he would explain what the material could mean and how it could be used as evidence. He thoroughly explained how the jurisdictional processes work. Because he had served as a former prosecutor at the Kittitas court for a long time before he became a criminal defense lawyer. Because of that he also has good understandings of the court system and prosecutors. 2. Complete work promptly Getting the work done in a timely manner is extremely important not only for your case to be resolved quickly so you can get back to your normal life soon but also for your mental health. My first attorney never got the work done, and it caused me lots of stress because I wasn't sure when she would be able to talk to the prosecutor about my case if she hadn't collected any evidence such as police report, public records and so on. When I hired Tony, he immediately requested all of the materials and started to collect evidence. He obtained all of the materials that had never been collected by my previous attorney for almost two months within a week since I hired him. Also, as the trial date was getting close, Tony paid more attention to me and sometimes he would respond on weekends. This really assured me that I had a very supportive attorney who focused on my case. 3. Effective communicator Tony communicates with you in a timely and kind manner. When you are defending your case against the charge, you don't want an attorney who never communicates with you. You wonder where the attorney is at, or you might have some additional questions regarding your case. If your attorney never tells you what she has done, or never provides an answer, the whole process becomes even more stressful. When I contacted him to replace my horrible first attorney, I expressed my concerns about the lack of communication between my back-then current attorney and myself. He told me that he only takes a few cases that he could handle at one time so he could focus and dedicate himself to work on your case. He also promised that he would communicate with me in 24 business hours, and he never failed to communicate with me within 24 business hours, indeed. 4. Organized work styles He is also very organized. He has a personal portal website where he uploads documents that are related to your case and remind you of the court dates. His work is transparent, and you have access to all of the relevant documents on the website. He also sends you an email when the hearing court approaches or when he uploads a document. You are constantly kept updated the work he is doing, and where the work has progressed, and what he has done. He really assures you that he is working very diligently on your case. All in all, Tony is an awesome attorney to work with. Some lawyers take too many cases, and they don't care about your case after you sign a contract. Tony doesn't do that. Tony wants to focus on his clients' cases and works hard for them. You need that kind of lawyer. The past four months have been the most difficult time of my life. As soon as I hired Tony, I was very assured that I would have someone who will work on my case very hard. He immediately gained my full trust and validated it for the entire time. If you are looking for legal help to defend your case, he is your guy.

    Liz at Heritage law was extremely easy to work with. I hired them to fight a speeding ticket I…read morereceived in Eastern WA.I signed the paperwork and paid a fee, which I thought was very fair. I received an email a few weeks later that I had a court date scheduled and asked if I would like to be there. I was unable to attend, as the court was located in Kittitas County. She showed up and represented me. I just received an email that the case was dismissed. I am so relieved! As we all know insurance rates are sky high, even with a perfect driving record. I was spared the increased insurance hikes.Liz did an awesome job for me and the follow-up has been incredible. I highly recommend them!

    Reading through the reviews there's a repeated pattern with heritage law…read more I hired Heritage Law (attorney Liz Gagley) expecting real representation and communication. Instead, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. I was never contacted before my court date, never told what the plan or strategy was. The only real communication I received was an email saying I lost my case -- maybe four sentences long. No explanation, no breakdown, just a quick message and a reference to the "representation agreement" to justify it. Every reply after that felt copy-pasted and dismissive. I understand not every case can be won, but what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication and care. I never once spoke directly with the attorney. It felt like my case was just another file in a stack, not something anyone actually worked on. In my opinion, this firm treats clients like numbers instead of people. I paid expecting effort and guidance but was left in the dark the entire time. I wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone who expects real communication or professionalism.
