Brandon & Cassidy have been my attorney and paralegal from the beginning of my court custody case…read moreto current. It is no secret that retaining an attorney and proceeding through the process of court is long, exhausting and expensive. However, Brandon and Cassidy have been nothing short of awesome. Cassidy is so sweet, humble and is very detail oriented. She is VERY good at what she does and it's apparent that she is passionate about her work because she was on top of everything I needed her to be on top of. Brandon is by far the most professional, knowledgeable and straight forward attorney that I have seen stand up in the court room. You often see attorney's get up in front of the judge and start mud slinging and degrading the other party with vicious character attacks, but Brandon does not partake in this at all. He keeps his eyes set on the end goal, which is helping you achieve your goal of what is best for your child/ children. His advice isn't always what you expect or want to hear, but he is always very truthful of what to expect each step of the way and reminds you to trust his judgment because he is in court all of the time and knows the laws, which I appreciate even if I don't always understand the angles or the way things work. One thing that I appreciated the most from these two is that they were also very personable and were emotionally there through your case with you. I called and vented, cried, and was angry and they listened well and reassured me without judgement. They are both very kind hearted, judgement free people. Purcell Law is a very respectable law firm, with great morals and great staff working among them. They are all passionate in their careers, and they are a good bunch of honest people with integrity which seems to be so hard to find these days, especially when dealing with court situations. It is so typical to see a lot of crap going through the courts with attorney's playing games in court with the other parties, but they stand strong with what they believe in and represent people that they believe in as well. They don't defend or lie to the judge to better their outcomes, they play fair, and are nothing at all close to dirty crooks. Their intentions are pure, they're professional, respectful, kind and I am so thankful that I've had both of them to help guide me through this exhausting process. It's been a very long road, but I couldn't be happier with the outcome of our entire case, and that is thanks to them and their hard work and support along the way :) Thank you guys for being so great!!

Matt represented me fairly, honestly, and with good results. Not only has he been easy to work…read morewith, he is FANTASTIC at what he does. He doesn't forget the details and knows what matters in his cases. He is effective, extremely intelligent, and well respected for his work within the legal system. He was my 4th lawyer in my divorce and I wish he was my 1st. I had to deal with so much that shouldn't have happened and I believe Matt would not have let those things happen had he been representing me. He is also fair in his billing practices and genuinely cares about his clients.

I am so grateful to have had Karen represent me and my children in my divorce battle. I really…read morewanted a simple divorce, but it was impossible with a husband like the one I had (an abuser and narcissist). It was a very long four years of stress and grieve from this divorce, but she made sure to have the voice of my children and mine heard. I was in an abusive marriage (more so emotionally/mentally abusive) and it was very draining, my kids suffered and were traumatized more from it. In the beginning of our divorce, my husband played the victim and was able to manipulate the court to favor his side with no actual evidence and just all hear say from him. Karen was the only attorney here in Tri-Cities, who could take on this case and get the facts straight. I had two very un-knowledgeable attorneys before who did nothing, but take money from me. Karen actually did her homework did some digging and took the extra time to investigate and provide proof and took on my husband's manipulative, lying attorney and pulled them both out of the water and wrung them out. I am so proud of Karen for the hard work she accomplishes for her clients. My life would have been very different today, if I wouldn't have invested in her. I am so happy she took on my case because she was hesitant at first to take on my case because of how nasty my husband and his snake of attorney had made it look. I can now say I am a fighter of domestic violence and justice was served right, thanks to her.

I do NOT know where to begin when it comes to the incompenece and lack of communication within…read morethis firm. Pat Chvatal is incapable of recalling any conversation we have ever had. She continued to speak the exact opposite of my requests each and every occasion we prepared for court. It is NO joke when I say the team at Chvatal Law will encourage you to fold on topics that will directly harm the children involved. Within my case my opposing litigate represented herself and stood at the podium and lied over and over again and was believed due to the fact hear say is allowed in Family Court her in Washington in addition to the extreme lack of defense from Pat Chvatal. Not one time did she defend my case or go out of her way to protect my children. On three separate occasions my autistic child has eloped under the care of the opposing litigate and not only did Pat Chvatal but also the commissioning judge Brandon Holt said these things happen.... If you research the statistics of death among autisc children when they elope it is at a stagerring 75-80% due to drowning. This was the first sign that something was NOT right within our family law justice system. DO NOT USE PAT CHVATAL AT ALL COST.

Biggest scumbags in the business. Brian Roach would show up late and ill prepared if he showed up…read moreat all. More often than not he would send an assistant who had no idea what was going on to postpone the case over and over and over. After feeding me a line of crap that he thought he could win my case and making me drive to eastern WA 10 times just to go to court and have his assistant postpone (all this was an attempt to make me FEEL like he was working for me). He finally came to trial to convince me that I should just plead guilty and his year of leading me to believe he could win the case would have worked in another County, but not Benton County. This guy is full of it. If you want to spend $7500.00 and waste a year of your life going to court over and over just to have him do nothing except feed you a bunch of lies and give you false hope only to tell you to plead guilty at the last minute you must like being toyed with. My charge was for DUI. I had to sit through sentencing and watch a dozen or more people go up with DUI plus accidents, plus blowing traffic lights, multiple DUI's and so on. Most had no attorneys (the smart move) but all received the same judgement. Fines, probation, Victims panel and one other thing I don't remember. The system is set up to dole these punishments out whether you pay these jerks $7500.00 or not. So why burden yourself with the extra cost and false hope. I can't say enough bad things about this team. They simply are NOT WORTH IT.

Our experience with Clearwater Law Group was devastating…read more Despite providing our attorney with extensive documentation and information about our case, he missed a critical deadline to file a response brief and was not responding to telephone calls or email. In addition to the missed deadline, we were represented in court by a substitute attorney, Mr. Hoxie, the owner, who appeared to have little or no familiarity with our case. He did not take the time to prepare, failed to inform the court that we were seeking a continuance, and his conduct during the hearing was reprimanded by the judge. Unfortunately, our next hearing with our assigned attorney was no better. He appeared unprepared, lacked a clear understanding of the facts of our case, and failed to provide accurate information to the court. These failures had serious consequences for our case and ultimately contributed to a $6,000 judgment against us. Following these events, we filed a grievance with the WA State Bar. The matter resulted in a deferral that required the attorney to complete additional legal education. To date, despite our requests, Clearwater Law Group has also refused to provide us with its professional liability insurance information. We hired Clearwater Law Group expecting competent legal representation. Instead, we experienced missed deadlines, inadequate preparation, inaccurate statements to the court, and an outcome that cost us thousands of dollars. Based on our experience, I believe I could have represented myself more effectively in Superior Court.

Better yet, try mediation before you give these attorneys your money!!
