Bottimore & Associates PLLC

To this day I still have no words to describe how unbelievable my experience with Leslie was. Documents that were submitted to the court were copied and pasted from my emails without editing. Court hearings, Leslie either did not know the answers or she answered incorrectly that I had to interject and correct my so called attorney. In my final parenting plan hearing I ended up representing myself as Leslie sat quietly during the hearing after the judge caught on that Leslie was clearly not up to date or invested in my case. This was all after voicing my concerns multiple times and Leslie assuring me that she was invested and working in my best interest. I am still being billed even after having to represent myself just because Leslie was registered as my acting attorney. A child’s future was at stake here, but that didn’t matter. Leslie was rude and disrespectful on many occasions and caused a huge emotional toll on top of something already hard to process. I could go on and on about all the issues including not receiving documents or information about hearings including court dates! Don’t waste your money or your trust that she has your best interest.

The best customer experience you can find in Seattle area when going through the hardest time of your life like a divorce and need not only someone to help you but also someone to hear you. They offered me a contract right away when my summons had only a 20 days response deadline and many other lawyers were busy to take the case leaving me waiting worried. Lisa listened to my problem complimentary and that eased my soul, she was there every time i needed to call, their services were top notch. Other lawyers gave me verry little of their time upfront. They gave me the help i neeed to succeed and felt someone understands me and is there for me, not just for a fee but as a human being through all this. Thank you !

Leslie and her team are dedicated and act at all times with the your best interest in mind. Being a judge pro temp she knows WA courts and has a wealth of experience dealing with family needs in these situations. As a client I not only like dealing with her but I trust her judgement and advice.

I had such a strange experience just trying to connect with this firm. First I reached out through a reputable source AVOO. I didn't Google. They returned my callednanfew days later. Took some info. Promised a "complimentary case evaluation" with their attorneys. Instead I got a call back from the same robotic person who kept calling me Mr Rachel, it was weird. It was triggering too as she demanded to know exactly how and why my DV case would be worthy. I had explained it, their was info explained in the original intake call. It was jarring. Then she said she'd pass it on and call back if they wanted to call back and take the case. So who was I actually speaking with? Never a legal team. Who has my info? Who is the person calling me Mr on the other side of the line making promises. I advised on the second call I wouldn't hire them given their lack of transparency and smokescreen. She still called today to tell me they couldn't handle my case. It's laughable. It's also unethical and speaks to the validation of other poor reviews here on Google, the BBB and business practices. The smokescreen did me a favor and I dodged this Trainwreck! Run quickly. Katia will falsely promise on behalf and robotically not deliver, it's unclear where she is, but it is clear she's working with home given the screaming child in the background. No shame in that, but not what one expects in calling a high price "bull dog" attorney. Laughable. $13,500 retainer for what?

Bottimore&Associates has been representing me for going on 3 weeks now and I'm very pleased with the work they do. They work hard for there clients!
