About Imants F. Holmquist

In every transaction, there’s risk. The goal is to move forward with your eyes open and as protected as possible. Imanta "Imants" Holmquist helps clients sort through what truly matters, like which risks deserve real safeguards and negotiation, and which are simply part of doing business and shouldn’t derail an otherwise solid deal. Striking that balance takes both experience and judgment, and it’s an approach Imants brings to every matter he handles. Imants cares deeply about the results he achieves for clients, because he knows that strong outcomes build long-term relationships and trust. For Imants, that starts with being accessible and responsive. Whenever possible, he aims to return calls and messages within 24 hours so clients aren’t left waiting while decisions are being made. Outside of work, Imants is a Seattle-area native with a background shaped by languages and travel. He grew up speaking Latvian and became proficient in Swedish while studying in Sweden. These days, most of his free time is spent with his wife and their three children. When he can carve out a little time, you’ll find Imants on the golf course, on the ski slopes, or cheering at Husky football games.

I had a really great experience working with Imants Holmquist at HG Law. He knows real estate inside and out and was super helpful in guiding me through everything. He’s responsive, easy to work with, and does a great job explaining things in a clear, straightforward way. I always felt like I was in good hands and a step ahead of any issues. Would definitely recommend him if you need a strong real estate attorney.

Our firm has worked with Imants Holmquist for over ten years, and the relationship speaks for itself. In the construction industry, you need an attorney who understands not just the law but the business — and Imants delivers on both counts, every time.

He consistently identifies issues before they become problems and structures agreements that protect our interests without overcomplicating things.

More than that, he is someone we trust completely. After a decade together, his integrity and commitment to our interests have never wavered. If you need a construction at

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
