I gave Mr. Loeffler a $5000 deposit to start an eviction process. Nothing happened including any communication. I called my charge card company to recover the funds. In the end no communication no work started money recovered. I say this guy is a big waist of time so may want to move on to a better prospect for an attorney. read more

Pros: They got the job done. Cons: 1. They are very unorganized. They usually put you on hold between 5 - 10 minutes to look for your case; and they charge you for it. They even charge me when they are asking about my military background when that has nothing to do with the case; and charge me for it. 2. I understand current eviction cases volume are very high and takes time. However, we were passed on to 3 different lawyers in the firm within 6 months and have to constantly resend them information when everything is already annotated sequentially. 3. They DO NOT get back to you. They sometimes get back to your email if you send them a follow up email a week after. If you don't follow up with email, they will not even get back to you. Calls are a hit and miss. Sometimes they will answer you and sometimes they will tell you they'll call you later. They do not call you. You'll need to call them. read more

After a long and agonizing eviction process with a tenant, we finally closed a traumatic chapter of our lives. For 3.5 months, I worked closely with Carinne Jaeger on a complicated eviction that had many surprise twists and turns. When I was first doing my research on landlord/tenant attorneys, I had a positive gut feeling about Carinne. She was so responsive off the bat which never weathered throughout the entire process. Her and her paralegals would call/email back almost immediately. At each step and check-in, Carinne explained everything in detail, gave us options, and made sure to advise yet let us have the final say with every action. She even handled difficult communication with a 3rd party that we didn't feel comfortable engaging with. I felt comfortable and confident with each step we took. Carinne is super personable, reassuring, and positive which helped immensely in such a stressful time. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to assist us through this process. read more

Evan Loeffler helped me in a very tricky case. As a landlord in the city of Seattle, your hands are tied by the city, and recently the state, given the 2020 pandemic. So when my tenant died and a relative who's not on the contract decided to freeuse the place as a squatter, I practically had no right whatsoever to disrupt their free ride given that they can claim any number of things like being the care giver of the tenant, and having no other place to live, and I understood that, that's what a free consultation gave me with a couple other lawyers. Mr. Loeffler sees the whole picture and understood the criminality of what my beloved squatter did (think endangerment of others, forgery of rental assistance documents, etc) and was able to set the record straight on having a squatter who I didn't have their name or SSN being accountable for their potentially criminal actions, and told me what can protect my civil claim against the squatter after the pandemic. That saved me from my lawsuit exceeding the small claims court limit because criminals tend to flee the crime scene when they are confronted about it. Only a smart lawyer sees through cases and distinguishes between what's a legitimate civil dispute that can take ages in the pandemic, and one that has a criminal angle. I'm glad I didn't give up based on what other lawyers told me when the pandemic hit. Most lawyers want a squared away case so they spend more time filing and less time thinking. However my case was very unique, and I was right on my intuition and Mr. Loeffler was empathetic in reading my complex case, smart in the way he approached it and effective in telling me the exact steps to take. Problem solved! Of course it takes both parties to communicate difficult cases, but to have a lawyer willing to listen to your unique case can save you many thousands of dollars. I'll keep using his services, even though I secretly hope not to have to. Thank you Evan! read more

I have no doubt that they do good work based on the feedback I have heard, but their response time was extremely disappointing in my experience. I attempted to hire Loeffler for my case after a recommendation from a friend and colleague, as well as several recommendations online. I assumed that, for a process as time sensitive as evictions, they would return calls promptly even if it was simply to inform us that they would not be able to take on our case. I never received a response, even after following up with the office again. I contacted another firm and an attorney began working with me the same day. Needless to say, I will be calling them, and not Loeffler, for any future legal needs. read more

I sent a long thoughtful inquiry seeking legal assistance with a landlord-tenant dispute, but beyond a few emails from their legal assistant, Linnea, I didn't receive any response from one of their attorneys, as promised. If for some reason it's not a match and they aren't interested in my business, a simple email response to my numerous inquiries and follow-ups would be very considerate. read more

I am a landlord with a simple question concerning RRIO penalties. I called a few landlord/tenant lawyers to get a sense of how strict the city is with respect to penalties. In all cases prior to calling Loeffler, I was asked to submit a huge retainer (like $3000) or pay a flat rate of around $150. And even though there was no money in it for Loeffler, Gina, who was obviously well informed, gave me the 3 minutes it took to get me pointed in the right direction. That shows integrity and it means that if I ever require legal help for one of my several rental units, I believe I can count on this firm to be fair and reasonable. Thank you for your time, it is truly appreciated! read more

I encountered a problematic tenant and so I called Loeffler Law group, and had the fortune of talking to Mr. Phil Neale. He was amazing. He gave me a great consultation, and even went out of this way to correct the law information I got from online. He was generous - which I completely did not expect. I will definitely use this firm, and Mr. Neale in particular, for my future legal needs. A+. read more

I would never consider Evan Loeffler again. I had a really bad experience. He says things that are not true to hide His severe inabilities. Do not use this company, there are a lot of other good attorneys out there. read more

Evan Loeffler help us a lot with our tenant concerns. His price was very reasonable. Last year we had to evict one tenant and they tried to do everything they can by law. He had his associate Derik help us the whole process. We are the type of people really hard to contact because we are busy all the time, but Derik never stop dialing all our contact numbers, from home phone, cell phones and our work number until he got us on the phone. Thank you Derik for doing that.The tenant who we filed for eviction was taking all his sweet time. It took us more than three (3) months before we were able to do something inside our unit. The Sheriff they contacted was very nice. I just found out, in Seattle you can't easily take over your own property if someone is living in your condo but we have the unit back with the help of a good lawyer. read more

Sounds to me like the "first to review" person wasn't looking for a lawyer, but a therapist. And if that's the case, of course they're going to be irrationally upset. You don't hire a lawyer for therapy or a shoulder to cry on. You hire a lawyer to represent your case. And that's exactly where Evan excels. Evan is the sort of lawyer you DON'T want the other guy to hire, so you better hire him first. Evan is tenacious, fierce, smart, logical, and knows the law. He's direct and to the point, maybe brusque (look it up, Mich F), but again, you don't hire a lawyer to hold your hand. You hire a lawyer because they are professional and will tell you like it is. Which is exactly what Evan will do. My experience with Evan has been that he doesn't like stupid clients, meaning that he has no patience for people who act against their own best interest. He will set ground rules ahead of time, and sure this can seem a little bossy, but when you're suing someone or being sued, do you want to win, or do you want to have tea? You need Evan, so follow his directions and do what he tells you. Then you'll be getting the best possible result from him: You'll probably win your case. I have no doubt that Evan is always giving me the best advice even if I don't want to hear it. So knowing that, I act on it. You should act on it too, and hire Evan whenever you need a heavy-hitter in your corner. Or you could decide to lose your case, and hire a therapist instead. read more

I'm a lawyer, not a landlord or a tenant. Evan Loeffler is well-regarded and known as a very effective attorney for landlords. I do not practice landlord-tenant law. I refer many potential clients to Evan, because he represents them efficiently and effectively. I've never heard a complaint from a person I referred to Evan. read more

Evan helped me on two real estate issues. In both cases I settled, and Evan was super knowledgeable and helpful. But in BOTH cases, there was a weird billing situation with Evan where he collected the settlement money, paid all of his fees, sent final payout, and then, weeks later, sent new invoices for post-settlement work that he had never warned about and that was most unexpected. My first case with Evan was my way of testing him for the second, much larger case. I was very pleased with his ability to convince my landlord's attorney that they had no chance of defending their (illegal) actions. The post-settlement billing dispute--which was like $100 off a $2,000 total settlement--left a sour taste in my mouth, but after discussing my concerns with Evan, I decided to overlook it. The second, much larger case was settled, though the nonprofit involved basically lost $70,000 to a Seattle slumlord. Once again, Evan told us the whole thing was done and, after taking his cut, sent us the relatively minor settlement amount. Some time later, he sent the group another bill for around a thousand dollars. I was removed from the organization shortly after the settlement by an unhappy board of directors, so felt certain it wasn't my duty to deal with Evan anymore. The group asked for a complete explanation of why he was demanding another thousand bucks from the settlement check he sent us, and never received one. I just received a call from a collection agency on my personal cell number. Though it is not my obligation, I tried to explain the situation to her, she interrupted repeatedly, telling me that, "sir," I either need to pay them or dispute it in writing with them (resetting the timeline for the claimed debt to expire). When I explained that those weren't my only options, and dropped the F-word when explaining how Evan knows I have nothing to do with this questionable bill, she got angry and said they will see me in court. Frankly, I'd prefer they sue me over the thousand bucks before calling me again. read more

took all my info about my case. never return a call or even acknowledge if they can help me or not. front desk person wasn't helpful and provide low level of customer services. read more

The Best in Landlord Tenant Law! I have had the pleasure of dealing with Evan and others in his firm over the past several years. When I have engaged the firm on many different issues they are always very good about communicating in a language that is easily understood. I admire the ability of the entire team (administrative included) in truly striving to help starting with the friendly voice that answers the phone. If someone does not have the answer Margaret does, who I believe is the office manager. On one occasion when I was in court waiting for our trial the Court Commissioner actually asked the attorney who was representing us a question regarding a case she was hearing at that time. With out hesitation Christopher Cutting had the answer for her and stated the RCW and the specific section for her. Needless to say that is impressive to say the least! Evan has taught classes for my team as well as re-wrote our documents. His style is the educate, answer questions and most importantly he understand the business. I often find myself quoting him "happy people don't suit you". I have referred clients to his office and only have gotten stellar reviews. read more

Although I could not use their services, Derek Leuzzi provided extremely helpful information and advice with how to deal with my landlord issue. He was down-to-earth, relatable and knowledgeable. I was nervous contacting a law firm but after my conversation with Derek, I feel more confident that I can get my issue resolved. He was upfront and consistent with legal costs and the risks associated. I am very happy I contacted Loeffler Law Group and got to speak with Derek! read more
