I believe this was one of the most difficult cases the industry has seen. Without Janet, we would not know where my brother is today. His wife was going to take him out of the country to one with social and "free" medical where she has dual citizenship. My brother who saved a million dollars for his retirement is now reduced to go on State pay medical. Due to his wife gambling ALL the money away. It is important that you have the right representation for your case. Know the RCW Laws for the vulnerable adults and that spouses have a fiduciary duty to their spouse. We are grateful to Janet Smith. Without her help, we would be lost and sad and no know where our brother is. Thank you, Janet. You are our saving grace.

Over the past 2-3 years they have kept asking questions and delaying the process of finishing this process. I have spent around $400 on emails alone (yes, they charge about $25 per email exchange). They do not respond in any other way except email, and each of those adds up. I regret everything about using this law firm. We are out $11K and have nothing to speak from it. I would sue them but they are a law firm, so I wouldn't expect to win. USE ANY OTHER LAW FIRM is my only advice. To give even more details, they admittedly forgot they were our client about a year after we started. One day my wife and I were like "What happened to our Will and Trust update?". So we contacted Brothers and they legitimately had no idea what we were referencing. I think they charged us another $$ to re-review all of our documents. What I have right now is about a dozen amendments for revisions to our original Will and Trust. Not even an actual Will and Trust, just a "plan" to revise it. If I were to finish it would cost me thousands. But, I have no idea because i cannot get a meeting with them because they are non responsive and when I try to communicate there goes another $25 to Tracy Billington for reading and responding to my email.

Ohana has been a guardian for my sweet brother, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's…read more They were referred to us by our attorney. I'll be honest, the beginning was rough. The first guardian assigned to us, Pat, had very little bedside manner toward me or my brother, and it was a shock to suddenly lose all say in his care and decisions. It's difficult to hand over control to someone who doesn't yet know your loved one. Over time, though, Pat and I learned how to work together. I never doubted that she had my brother's best interests at heart, and I think she came to see that I did too. I was always there for him -- meeting him at the hospital, going to appointments, and staying with him which helped both Pat and my brother, and also eased his financial burden. After Pat retired, Beth stepped in temporarily, and then Quinn became his permanent guardian. Beth and Quinn have been absolute delights to work with. We are now approaching 11 years with Ohana, and as we enter what feels like "the beginning of the end" for my sweet brother, I am deeply grateful for their continued care and support. The entire Ohana team has been wonderful in helping us navigate my brother's estate and care. If you are fortunate enough to have someone like Beth or Quinn assigned to you, you've truly won the lottery. They are compassionate, dedicated professionals who always put the well-being of your loved one first. This has been a long, emotional journey -- but having Quinn's support through it all has been a blessing. She has worked tirelessly for my brother and has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you, Quinn, for your kindness, dedication, and care.

I knew there were other more experienced elder care lawyers in Seattle; but I chose her for location only. My grief was too huge to comprehend what she told me in the 31/2 hrs. we met. She asked for a number of other things like $6000 up front and the name and number of a lawyer I had worked with in another state. My emotions got in the way of making a better choice, including one who did not ask for a retainer at all. I was unable to read any of the scribbles she put on paper; nor was my financial advisor. I realized when I spoke with the Denver lawyer on the phone and when I looked at some notes from a well spouse support group, that I could do much better. So I made some phone calls and fired Julianne. She refunded all but $1500. Perhaps because she knew that our former attorney was the former president of the Washington Elder Care Attorneys, the refund was quick and complete. The lesson I took away from this horrible experience was: Never pick a lawyer by location! In fact, the lawyer I finally chose a month later told me that he would never have recommended what she was recommending to me. By the way he charged a flat fee for his services and told me that I could call him, and email him about this for as long as I needed to with no money involved.

His…read moreend game was not to work things out but instead to drag them out, create issues where there was none and to assist in the fabrication of acrimonious scenarios that were simply not true. IMO his style of representation does not lean towards peaceful resolution. Everything we received from him was laced with threats of further litigation and "his fees" - not resolving issues and not moving forward in a positive manner. We finally found a competent, respected lawyer to assist us in navigating Mr Brunstrom's unethical attack. Our lawyer who was very well respected as an Elder Law Specialist was dumbfounded by the nature of Brunstrom's correspondence and demands. The only truly sad part of this is that by the time we got to see the family, too much time had elasped and our relative was to the point where the relative was having issues wit dementia, thus, mk

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!
