From day one when Jack sat me down and started to review my case he was upfront and never sugar coated what could happen in my case. After tremendous amount of anxiety I decided to file divorce. Jack and his team jumped right in and guided me to what needed to be done. Over the course of the 14 months my case took to settle Jack and his team were always their to answer questions, be there for emotional support and fight the good fight. They always kept me well informed and always involved me in every decision while always looking out for my girls and my best interest. The outcome of my case was the best with me receiving full custody of my beautiful daughters and no spousal support. Which is super rare in the state of Washington for a father. From Robyn to Lori to Josh I couldn't feel there is a better team I could of have. In fact to the point I feel like they are family! If you are looking for the best, well Jack Berner and his team is it! Thank you Jack, Josh, Robyn, and Lori! I am eternally grateful to you!

I'm not trying to get something out of you guys, we work with a few lawyers for our businesses and personal life's, and not all lawyers are same that's easy to understand what's hard to understand is that you talk about transparency when I got told by your office that my case was going to be resolved to satisfy my needs and I got a round estimate of what the future cost was going to be and I agreed to it. Because it seemed fair at the time, but after I had to do the paperwork myself and for you only to give me 3 sheets of paper and 5 min of your time in a zoom court call, I can't seem to connect the billing together with the time spent on my case again I fired you guys before my contempt case got viewed. If you would like me to post the billing statement here on Yelp please do let me know.

I recently had a difficult parenting plan and child support issue and was thrilled to have Bob as…read moremy attorney. He was able to work through my complicated case quickly and return favorable results. His assistant is incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent and helpful. Her responses to my phone calls and emails were prompt and often came after hours and her days off. Their dedication to my case was comforting in such a stressful time. My relationship with my son has benefited from their work and expertise. I moved out of state for work and was able to get ample time with my son and child support that was fair and not extravagant even though my income is high. If you are entering a difficult time, as all divorce and child custody/support issues are, Brewe Layman is a great choice. If you want an expert and professional group on your side, Bob comes highly recommended by me. A less favorable outcome would have come from my situation if I did not have them on my side. These are stressful and complicated matters and you want people like them working on your behalf. The fees were fair and certainly not excessive. Attorneys cost money and Bob was worth the cost I paid for his services. My suggestion is to be the one to file in your matter first. Better to be on the offense, rather than defense. Although, Bob is sharp and will defend you competently and powerfully. Best wishes during your difficult time. Thank you again!

If you have other options, I do not recommend choosing this law firm. The final bill I received was…read morefar higher than the initial quote I received. First one lawyer/admin/paralegal took my call and gave me an estimate. Then she scheduled a 2 hour call with another lawyer in the firm. By the end of the 2 hour call, the new lawyer then gave me another estimate to finish the project that was way higher than the initial quote but I feel obligated to continue with them because of the 2 hour ($600+) sunk cost. What was more unacceptable was that the lawyer's response was not timely. Sometimes she didn't respond for 4 or 5 days after multiple follow up emails. And she claimed that she didn't receive the final signed document from the opposing lawyer due to email server issue (which I received through regular consumer Gmail account). I am not sure if she is telling the truth. If she is, I wouldn't want to work with a firm that has unstable email servers that may miss important legal emails.

Then he met someone who wanted a child and BAM... suddenly he wanted custody? A complete narcissist and I needed help. The best she could "possibly" get me was 50/50 split??... Not to mention every time she came to court or mediation she looked like she had just rolled out of bed with smeared mascara and bed head. So embarrassing! Then when he wanted to move out of state with our daughter, Julie could not even fight for her right to stay here... where ALL her family was, to be with the person who raised her. Then when his marraige finally broke up (a year later) this law group couldn't even get me custody back with an abundance of evidence of neglect... do NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Nobody from this law group will fight for you. It is so sad.

Julie Caputo handled a family member's case for about 6 months. The case is still ongoing so I…read morecan't discuss specifics. Julie is best suited for cases that are likely to settle in mediation or arbitration. You can tell by looking at her web site which clearly states they prefer Collaboration, Mediation, and Arbitration and I quote: ..."We reserve the use of litigation - the use of the courts to make decisions for the family - as a last resort for our clients..." I suggest you heed this, it's a warning. Julie sucks in court. She was not prepared, was not organized, and during one short hearing when Julie spoke, my family member counted 33 "umms and ahhhs" as he shrunk in his chair. Bad place to realize you are not represented by an experienced litigator that lights up when it's their turn to speak, becomes a presence, a force to be reckoned with. Julie is none of that. Julie will steer you to get along, don't rattle the cage, to give in, and she does not like the courtroom. We warned Julie we had a very high conflict case that was unlikely to settle. When opposing party pulled stunts, Julie's frustration was always directed at her client, my family member. She gets mad and literally yells at and belittles clients to their face--clients that are already traumatized by the high conflict nature of the relationship they are extricating themself from. It all came crashing down during a phone call between my family member and Julie. After yelling at him and slamming down the phone, she missed the handset cradle--she continued yelling in her office (to her son Nicholas who works for her), thinking she had hung up. "I HATE THIS CASE - XX must be stupid, doesn't care about money" --on and on (can't go into case specifics)-- for 4-5 minutes as family member listened to what Julie and Nicholas *really* thought about him and the case, until she figured out the phone had not hung up. Whoops. I gave one star because Julie does have redeeming qualities. She's just not good in court, nor is she able to handle truly high conflict cases with empathy and grace. To Julie's credit, she writes good letters, but forgets to use spellcheck, or hover over underlines--lots of typos. She also introduced us to 191 restrictions in parenting plans which prior counsel did not know about or mention. She is probably very good at collaboration, mediation and arbitration but we don't know, our case was never headed that way. We have new counsel, a brilliant experienced litigator that comes to court 100% prepared, large and in charge. He is totally unfazed by the high conflict antics of opposing party, to the contrary, he exhibits empathy, and watches for his place to jump in to make it stop. On the last round of motion flurry, while we are still processing what just happened, he is half way to the next goalpost. Incredible. If you need an effective courtroom litigator, keep looking, they are out there. You can check my other reviews.

We involved Linda in a contentious divorce case after the other party failed to show up for mediation. We knew at that point there was a need for a litigator and not just a mediation attorney. She came to us highly recommended by a man that used her as his attorney in another contentious divorce. Linda was the calming force that kept things together throughout the long-drawn-out case. The other party spent years going to court over anything she could claim, true or not. Linda helped navigate these turbulent waters with us. She was always prepared and took the case to victory! How many men actually get primary custody of their children in a state like WA? I think we all know that answer, not many! Linda was able to prove our case by being professional, on point at all times and knew when to ask questions and when not to. Linda is a busy attorney that is for sure but, that is because she is great at what she does. Anyone needing a divorce attorney I would highly recommend Linda be hired, if you're interested in results. Linda gets results!!!!!!

I should have known at that time that she was just running the clock to take advantage of me. I was told to pay 7k in order for her to do mediation that I have been asking for for about 6 months. 6 months ago, the funds would have been there. She shows up to court unprepared, with incorrect paper work, she doesnt have everything she needs and is constantly pushing for extension and her calander is so busy.
