Hired Attorney Kathleen Ebert Pierce

Ms Pierce is a highly skilled lawyer in her area of expertise, but add in her ease of communication and this is what made her the perfect fit for my needs. She was easy to speak to, knows the law, and took care to inform me how I could keep my costs down while still accomplishing the job well done. She has a calm, graceful yet professional way of speaking and had no trouble de-escalating a situation in the quickest possible (and complete) way. I feel no need was left unaddressed, and I couldn't be happier with her representation. If you are seeking a business attorney-- anything to do with employment law or any other area she covers, this is the attorney to see first!

I highly reccomend Kathleen, she is honest and straight forward in her approach and cares about her clients. She is not afraid to tell you when your wrong and takes a multifaceted approach to deal with all situations. I have used other attorneys for my buisiness and by far Kathleen is the best attorney I have ever had.

Kathleen is a straight shooter who advises her clients as to the reality of their situation. With that said, she will exhaust every possible avenue to ensure that her clients receive as much as they possibly deserve. She is responsive, honest and sympathetic. I would strongly encourage others to utilize her services.

Hired Attorney Kathleen Ebert Pierce

Kathleen Pierce really went to bat for me and my children. She truly went above and beyond to stand up for what was right. She is a family oriented, grounded, personable individual with empathy and compassion, yet a tenacious, “never give up” fighter as an attorney. You know where you stand with Kathleen, there is nothing phony about her. She never gave up with my extremely difficult case where many attorneys would have. Instead she researched further and found more evidence and legal cases that fully protected us and we won. In fact they came back at me again almost a year later and Kathleen had my back completely. They lost on all motions and had to even pay all of my attorney fees. It was some high flying expensive Seattle attorney and law firm and Kathleen blew them away. I am very glad I hired her and would do it again.

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.
