My first bill was almost $50,000! and I had absolutely no idea that the bill was anywhere near that, even though I asked so many times to be informed of costs as we went along. They didn't provide me with any financial information until I got this first bill after 2 months. In the end, I got nothing for my money and had to go for a settlement that was detrimental for me, just to bring an end to the financial cost. I would never have agreed to the strategy or expense had I known that I would get nothing in return but a $70,000 bill. Although the attorneys are friendly and hard working, they didn't advocate a successful strategy, and succeeded only in enriching their own firm at great expense to me.

There are days in life that feel impossibly far away -- and then suddenly, they arrive…read more For us, that day was my husband's immigrant visa approval. After navigating a long and emotional process so he could finally come live with me and our children in the United States, we can say with complete confidence: we could not have done this without Paul. If I could give him more than five stars, I would. From the very beginning, Paul stood out. His response time is unmatched -- no attorney has ever responded to us as quickly or as thoroughly as he did. Every email, every concern, every question was addressed promptly and clearly. What makes Paul exceptional is his direct, no-nonsense approach. He does not overpromise. He does not dramatize. He gives you precise, step-by-step instructions that are so organized and easy to follow that even the most overwhelming immigration process becomes manageable. If you trust him and follow his guidance exactly, you will move through your case with confidence. It's also important to understand that no attorney has control over USCIS or NVC processing times or decisions. Every case depends on individual circumstances. What an attorney does control is preparation, accuracy, and strategy -- and Paul's system is above and beyond anything we experienced elsewhere. He earned our complete trust. Paul is not just an immigration attorney. He is someone who chose a career dedicated to helping families build their lives together in the United States. That is not something we take lightly. When the time comes for my husband's citizenship application, we will not hesitate for a second -- Paul will be our attorney again. If you are looking for clarity, structure, honesty, and exceptional responsiveness, you have found the right person.

We had a great experience working with Paul. He guided us through the entire process and was always…read moreavailable for questions. He's straightforward and reassuring. He explained what to expect, helped us prepare and made sure we had everything in order. Paul definitely made the whole process less stressful and we're grateful for his help. Highly recommended!

I found Bryn Peterson on Yelp about 2.5 years ago when my partner and I were dealing with some…read morestressful business legal issues, and I still remember our very first consultation call clearly. We were overwhelmed, anxious, dealing with a complete liar and juggling a lot at the time. Bryn took the time to truly listen, asked thoughtful questions, and immediately made us feel supported and understood. When we met in person, he was nothing but professional, kind, and--somehow--even managed to make us laugh during a very difficult situation. Throughout our time working with him, Bryn's emails were always detailed, clear, and extremely effective. He consistently shut down nonsense and misinformation from the other side with precision and confidence. Comparing the professionalism and substance of Bryn's work to what the opposing counsel produced made it crystal clear that we made the right decision trusting him with our legal needs! Bryn isn't just an excellent attorney--he's a genuinely good person. He's a family man, a great dad, and it shows in how deeply he cares about his clients. He treats you like a human being, not just a case. When our situation unfortunately escalated into a lawsuit, Bryn recommended an outstanding litigation firm, which ultimately helped us win. That recommendation alone speaks volumes about his integrity and experience. I cannot recommend Bryn highly enough for business legal matters. He is smart, ethical, responsive, and absolutely worth the time and money. His paralegal, Kelly, is also wonderful to work with--professional, helpful, and kind. Bryn truly has a great thing going, and I will always be incredibly grateful we found him.

Working with The Robert Half Creative Group gave me the opportunity to land my DREAM JOB at…read moreStarbucks Coffee Company. As I read through some of the other reviews, most were positive but some expressed sour grapes. I think there are some misaligned expectations as to what a staffing agency is. A staffing agency makes their money by supplying companies with workers either on a temporary are permanent basis. Unless you are paying a staffing agency a fee to find you employment, then the staffing agency's fiduciary responsibility is to the company that is paying them. You need to understand and accept this if you are going to work with a staffing agency. Here's how you benefit from the relationship... Staffing agencies can give you the opportunity/connection to network, learn, and build your resume with world-class business organizations that are extremely challenging to get your foot in the door. Once in though, it's up to YOU to prove yourself and work toward finding your dream job. You can't walk in and expect your dream job to be handed to you. Competition for good jobs in good markets is tough. You have to come at it by assessing the situation for fit, figuring out where YOU can add value in ways that align with your career objectives, get along with ALL the players (putting your ego in check), make a plan, STAY POSITIVE, and execute on it. Oh and by the way, all that work might NOT lead to a permanent job. Don't expect that, if you do you will fail at staying positive. However, know that all the work you are doing is being added to your resume. The way you are handling the situation is being noted by all those you are working with. They will remember you, refer you, and be a reference for you. If played right, over time you will land your dream job. TCG's role was they gave me the connection to make it happen, and supported me with training and advice on handling situations as they arose. That's it, that's all any staffing agency can realistically do for you. Here at the end of my experience with TCG, I can say they've actually EXCEEDED my expectations for a staffing agency. TCG offered me much more career building benefits than other staffing agencies. Benefits such as continued industry training, portfolio showings, attendance to top business industry conferences, team building and network events. This is the stuff that helps you develop your career path. Lastly, they've made my transition to full employment with Starbucks very, very easy. If you are looking to get networking opportunities or work experience added to your resume from renowned organizations and companies, TCG has the connections to make it happen.

A…read morerepresentative there explained they have only about 4 people working there and are responsible for 100 or more calls. Way too many. They are very fair and can represent you. Like soooo many reviews for the Washington Employment Security Department, a ton of people are being declared overpayments, even though they do not have money and follow the right process. So many are also frustrated that the Washington Unemployment Department is more concerned about getting money than paying people what they actually are due. There are even people being delayed their 1st paycheck for weeks, like me, as well. Sooo many dockets and allegations are obviously occurring for honest sub-wage work or none at all for their so-called work wage employment benefit rules! Would have never filed in WA State Employment if I knew it was going to end up like this, although I depend on income and even college financial aid just to pay rent. Employment ended up looking for other work because I could not make enough in the industry I worked in, and now I'm going back to college to get a decent job in another state. WA Employment Security Department should be renamed the WA Employment Unsecure Department. Washington state is just a bad place for Unemployment claims, and I will never move back there since it represents work there to me as being bad and dishonest!
