I have worked most closely with Quentin Wildsmith at the Lasher firm. He is one of the finest, most skilled, and most effective lawyers in Seattle. I've referred clients and friends to him for years and have co-counseled with him on several matters. He's unfailingly ethical and and his written and oral advocacy are exceptional. He is also a master strategist who knows how to litigate aggressively and effectively, but is also sensitive to when a different approach would best serve his clients.

Quentin Wildsmith is great.

Quentin is a practical resolution based attorney who is very direct in spelling out the most promising options. We were quite pleased with how he handled our case both in and out of the court room. His professional demeanor and tact were well accepted by us as well as the Judge; we were pleased with the outcome. We strongly recommend Quentin for litigation matters.

I had the opportunity to work with Quentin when needing an attorney for some personal work disputes. From my initial call to him through all of our meetings through mediation, I found him to be professional, accessible and supportive. Quentin served as an advisor and was willing to listen to me before sharing his opinion(s) and always treated me respectfully. He never discounted my questions or my concerns. Despite his obvious legal expertise, I felt that we collaborated during all of our conversations I trusted him and would highly recommend him.

My family and I loved the legal representation we received from the Seattle-based firm Lasher Holzapfel Sperry & Ebberson. Our family's specific praise is directed toward attorneys Quentin Wildsmith, Julie Pendleton, and Emily Husa for their work on a complex Trust and Estate Dispute Resolution Act (TEDRA) case. Details from this testimonial: • Case outcome: After 15 months of work, the legal team secured a favorable settlement in mediation for the King-Mitchell family, despite the case statistically [sic] having low odds of success. • Legal team: o Quentin Wildsmith was initially consulted and helped assess the strength of the case. o Julie Pendleton was designated as the lead attorney and was central to building the case. o Emily Husa worked closely with Pendleton on compiling and analyzing extensive documentation. • Praise for the team: Myself and my family express the deepest gratitude for the team's integrity, dedication, expertise, and determination. My wife, brother and I are forever grateful for their outstanding work.
