I was thrown off guard by my first phone conversation with Mr. Lee. His tone was extremely aggressive and his very first question was wanting to know my nationality. I felt I was being lectured rather than being helped. Communication did get better over time but that first impression was discouraging. I also had a phone conversation with Katherine Chrostowska. She downplayed my job/work duties and was belittling. Approximately 2 years ago, I was struggling with severe anxiety, PTS and depression. This interaction I had back then was unprofessional and insensitive. My hope is that no one else is treated this way.
They aren't as prompt and diligent as one would hope seeing as though these guys are supposed to help you maintain your freedom. They hold your future in their hands, so you should be able to count on them to do their very best, but I feel like they put forth minimal effort at best.
This law firm failed to defend me from a Scam run on me in 2022. I ended up homeless after 22 court appearances, and 17 days in Jail. The Lynnwood office was the primary defense, but Marysville office assisted. Also the Marysville office failed to defend my Son about a decade ago in a DV where he was the victim. He's had problems ever since. DO NOT TRUST THESES PEOPLE TO DEFEND YOU!!!
My attorney didn’t make appt to talk to me until less than 24 hrs before court where she asked for a continuance. Then ignored my calls for weeks. I emailed. I went into office where my attorney said she was too busy to set appt and said case will be dismissed. The week before court she said she wasn’t my attorney that my case was transferred to someone else. With less than a week left I have had no one to collect evidence which there is 7 1:2 weeks of as I , a disabled senior was being terrorized and injured by my landlord until he had me trapped and had to fight to get to safety. The cops refused to help instead said prove it. A had temporary restraining order but was dismissed for lack of evidence. Only to be seriously injured when it ended. This attorney refused to help me after my landlord broke into my place and took all my belongings. She apparently was working with my assailants attorney or doesn’t understand eviction law as she verbally sided with them in violating the law: my rights
Public defenders for cases out of Marysville. They pass you around amongst the other lawyers in the firm so you always seem to have someone new. Called every morning for over a week trying to talk to someone about my case, no answer leave message, and they never call back. Rarely even answer the phone and if they do its just a secretary or paralegal. Leave a message and you still never hear back. My lawyer actually snapped at the prosecutor when they asked if we had set a meeting saying that it was between us and not their business. Obviously more worried about their ego then their clients wellbeing. I get it they have huge case loads and it's not big money but do your job the best you can and that's doing the best for your client.
