We had a tenant that just refused to pay. We tried several times to work with them. In the end they…read morejust ignored us. When we went to the property to do work, they accused us of harassment. We spent three weeks talking with different law agencies before deciding that Holmquist and Gardiner were the clear choice. They have a lot of experience with this issue. Our situation was a little different because the tenants were supposed to be paying for a spot for their camper (their home Holmquist and Gardiner took the case. They advised us on what to do or not do. Once they were involved, the tenants were gone in just over a month. We did not have to go to court. We did not have to negotiate with them; they got scared and left. And our life got so much better. If I have a similar situation in the future, I will just make one call. Holmquist and Gardiner are worth every cent. Thank you, AK2 Properties LLC

I first worked with Imants, then mostly with Phil Neale. Phil was very easy to get a hold of, and constantly updated me on progress. Every time I called in, he either answered the call right away, or called back very shortly afterwards. Highly recommend, and we will retain their services when needed again in the future!

As the daughter-in-law involved in this transaction, I can honestly say hiring Lee was one of the…read morebest decisions our family made. I was actually the one who found Lee after searching through countless attorneys on Google and Yelp. I spent a lot of time reviewing profiles, reading feedback, and carefully comparing options because we knew this was not going to be a straightforward sale. We wanted to make absolutely sure everything was secure and that our family's interests were fully protected -- especially since this was a private sale and we were heavily involved in helping manage the entire transaction. This was not a simple situation. My husband and I were renting the home, the landlord decided to sell, and my parents-in-law -- who live in Southern California -- stepped in to purchase it so we could remain in the property. The home includes a detached ADU on a single parcel, which added additional complexity. The seller was difficult and often unpredictable -- the type who believed he knew more than everyone else and frequently changed positions. Lee navigated that dynamic with steady professionalism and quiet confidence. He protected our interests without escalating matters unnecessarily and stayed focused on ensuring everything was handled correctly. My father-in-law is extremely meticulous and reviews every document line by line -- sometimes multiple times over (a bit too much at times). Lee was incredibly patient throughout the entire process. Even when we went over documents ten times, he remained calm, thorough, and respectful. That level of patience meant a great deal to me personally. He carefully reviewed the PSA, disclosures, and escrow documents and was in full communication with the escrow company throughout the transaction to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. Knowing he was overseeing and coordinating every detail behind the scenes gave us tremendous peace of mind. What stood out most was how personal it felt. He wasn't just processing paperwork -- he genuinely cared about protecting our family. It truly felt like he was looking out for us the way a trusted advisor would. If you are looking for an attorney who genuinely has your best interests at heart, do not hesitate to call Lee. We will absolutely go to him again without hesitation for any future real estate needs. Thank you Lee for everything!

I called Leroy based on his solid reviews and I'm so glad I did. He represented us when we sold our…read moreSeattle house to developers. He helped us through the entire 6+ month process (probably signing up for more than he expected!) and we were lucky to have his years of experience and knowledge on our side. He added clauses to our contract we would have never thought about, he helped during negotiations, signing, and closing. We felt he had our back. He was also extremely responsive and available. Thanks Lee!

One of the worst experiences ever! Be forwarned, Nick and his firm will literally take you for a…read moreride, he will over promise and deliver nothing, absolutely nothing. He charged me 3300 for a flat fee he did not do as he said he would on numerous occasions, in the course of 2 months I was able to personally talk to him 3 times on the phone. He wrote a 2 page word document to my ex-wifes attorney as a response letter after he failed to file and serve her first. I am seeking another attorney to try to reclaim my 3300. He wrote a 2 page word document as a response letter.. I cannot even believe that all for 3300. Now he is asking for 30,000 to continue to represent me, what a joke. Be warned he will take your money and run, then ignore you if you have any questions. DO NOTE HIRE HIM or his FIRM! This was for a divorce case and he literally told me he would represent me in my business matters, real estate and divorce all which he was very experienced in. None of that happened.. he made my divorce worse than it was, now i'm stuck in this huge hole which i have to try to hire another attorney to do as nick promised.

I'm taking time out of my new business schedule to announce to the Yelp world that Erin at Karp…read moreBusiness Law in Ballard is amazing. My disclaimer here is that I know next to nothing about any type of law, and my brain nearly explodes at the sight of a spreadsheet or any piece of paper that has "legal document" written on it. And that's why I hired her. Needing to set up a PLLC for a new massage therapy business, I contacted Erin based on a referral from Your Man Friday accounting in Capitol Hill. That referral was spot-on...I couldn't believe how thorough and quick Erin was at completing the necessary steps. Really impressive is the fact that she didn't drag her feet. Considering that she is a lawyer that charges by time, and she gathered quite quickly that I am an idiot when it comes to anything law or business related (I swear I'm a good massage therapist though!), Erin had the opportunity to stretch things out and perhaps get a little more moolah out of the deal. Far from it: she was fast, thorough, and responded very quickly to my inane questions and emails. Considering she has to deal with WA state and city of Seattle, processing everything was crazy-quick. I appreciate everything she did for me, and I highly recommend her for your lawyer needs. I should add in another thing: my significant other is a previous business-owner and has been through this rigamarole before. (Also, he loves spreadsheets and other nerd-stuff like that.) He was seriously impressed by Erin's practice, and plans to use her in the future for any other needs. I think you should be impressed that HE was impressed. ;)
