Winning Team 9/2/2008

I have been working with Grace Lee for far longer than I would have liked to. However, that is not a reflection on her. She has been an incredible advocate for me and has made this process, though incredibly stressful, much less hard on me. She is sweet, funny, intelligent and do not be fooled by her appearance. While she appears young, she is highly knowledgeable and impressive to watch in court. more

Matthew Cohen is an Excellent Attorney 8/29/2008

I am a senior citizen and have never been in litigation. I came into my divorce action under considerable stress facing the unknown. Matthew Cohen not only expertly handled my legal matters but carefully guided, clearly explained, and caringly reassured me throughout this procedure. I?m extremely satisfied with his professionalism and his compassion. more

Tremendous Attorney - Great Man 4/4/2008

While divorce is never easy, the staff at SKJ&H and in particular Brian Kulhanjian, made this experience one of grace. Brian guided me through the process with a tremendous amount of compassion, humor and sound advice. People tend to get pre-conceived notions about attorneys and Brian quickly evicted all stereotypes from my brain. He treated me as if I was his only priority, and his compassionate approach made me feel I was more than just ?a client.? Brian provided me with sound advice through out the process, never pushing me to ?get more? but never being afraid to ?lay down the law? when he felt strongly about something. Within moments of meeting him I felt completely at ease, and after our first meeting I actually gave him a hug. Truly, as an attorney and as a man, Brian is exceptional. He and the staff at SKJ&H made me feel cared for and comfortable during a very uncomfortable time in my life and I am eternally grateful. Pros: People, parking, atmosphere, knowledge more

Top Notch Advocate 1/8/2008

Teresa Foster is one hell of an attorney, and she can work in both Washington and Oregon with the same level of professionalism. I had the privilege of working with and for Teresa for 13 months. She is a passionate professional who can quickly size up a problem and cut to the chase. If I ever find myself in need of an attorney in a high conflict family law matter, I would call her straight away. more

Talk about wonderful! 8/21/2007

BRIAN KULHANJIAN: maybe not the easiest name to pronounce, but well worth learning how! Brian makes you feel like you're his only client. During our first conference, he picked up on small details immediately, getting to the heart of the matter Not just thorough, incredibly bright and easy to talk to, with a warm sense of humor, but (and this one's a huge plus when concerning the infammatory nature of divorce) ... emphathetic. Near the close of our first hour, after sincerely asking us how we were doing, Brian diplomatically suggested that if either of us needed any counseling help, he had references readily available. Pros: Great parking, lovely reception area, always nice people behind the front desk. more

Handles challenging cases superbly 7/27/2007

I wholeheartedly recommend Teresa Foster. Unlike other attorneys I've worked with, she can take a very complex case and cut to the chase with some grounded, successful approaches. She listens extremely well; works very collaboratively with her clients and other professionals; maintains sound boundaries, when responding to other parties representing themselves pro-se; and sustains a consistent strategy to achieve some important goals. She has helped protect my child from some serious risks: I'd particularly recommend Teresa is your divorce case involves any situations which place your child at risk or involve unusual complications or challenges. more

Above and beyond legal representation 7/26/2007

Laurel Hook (and the Stahancyk firm) proved to be one of the silver linings of my divorce. Laurel went above and beyond to explain the legal process, was an excellent advocate on my behalf and artfully walked me through every aspect of my divorce with excellent results. She is an outstanding attorney who demonstrated a real genuine concern for me and my children. Laurel, Jody Stahancyk and Laurie Krachtovil didn't stop providing first class support with the signing of the judgement - they went on to assist me in finding a new home, car and employment! From my first telephone to the firm I felt understanding, compassion and confidence that I'd found the attorney (attorneys) and staff with the legal knowledge, experience and ability to advocate on my behalf which would result in a positive outcome. more

Excellent Attorney 7/24/2007

The lead attorney on my case was Grace Lee, however I ended up working primarily with Brian Kulhanjian. Grace was a delight to work with. Brian is who saw me through a long and nasty divorce. Brian was incredibly thorough and always responded promptly to my questions or phone calls. He made sure I was comfortable with the terms of the divorce and understood everything. My emotions were running high and he helped maintain a sense of order in a devestating time. I so appreciate Brian's professionalism and also sincere thought and care for my and my son's well-being. I highly recommend this attorney. Pros: Easy parking, the office is warm and everyone is inviting Cons: It is a little spendy, but well worth the money more

I highly recommend Grace Lee 7/23/2007

As a Father of two young girls, custody was my primary concern in the settlement of my divorce. The first attorney I hired told me that, as a man, I had little chance to get custody and that I should negotiate with that in mind. I fired him. I was then referred to Grace Lee and to make a long story short I now have 50% custody with no child support or alimony payments. Grace got the results that I wanted and she did while maintaining a high ethical standard and a professional demeanor. Pros: Professional, Ethical, Knowlegable, Tenacious and Efficient Cons: Downtown office makes Washington county court visits spendy more

In Good Hands 7/23/2007

Teresa Foster served as my attorney through a recent divorce and I couldn't be happier with her or the results of the settlement. I not only felt very comfortable working with her but was extremely confident in how she handled all of the matters involved. In addition to her professional demeanor and actions in the courtroom I truly appreciated the personal approach she exhibited in guiding me through the process. Hopefully my future will not include another divorce but if it does I would not hesitate in making Teresa the first attorney I would call. more

Great Attorney - Great Firm 7/19/2007

I have had a great experience with Teresa Foster as my attorney. She is a true professional with a good heart. She has an incredible way getting results when a situations calls for it. I admire her professional and personal opinion. She has been worth every penny. I suggest using her if you want to get things done. Stahancyk, Kent, Johnson, and Hook has done a good and complete job for me in all phases. I can't say enough about Teresa. She is someone you want on your side. more

KIND AND KNOWLEDGEBLE 7/13/2007

Philip Andrews has been upbeat, positive, and has shown a working knowledge of the law. He listens and shows by his actions--follow through. I have experienced integrity with him. This has been very important, since my experience has, in the past, with other attorneys been just the opposite. more

Don't Believe the Hype 6/21/2007

I went to Jody Stahancyk because I was told she was the best. I was told wrong. At my first meeting with her, she was rude and actually yelled at me, telling me I was an idiot. That cost me $350. Then my case was handed off to a brand new associate, who quit after two months. My case then went to yet another associate, also fresh out of law school. I never saw or talked to Jody again, although I tried to call her several times and she never returned my e-mails. She did care about my case enought to bill me over $3500 for ""reviewing"" my file. While the representation was not horrible, it is not what I expected, especially for the hefty price tag that came with it. In all, I could have gone with another attorney without Jody's reputation, done better in my divorce, and had money left to put towards my children's college rather than another Beemer for Jody. I would not recommend her to anyone unless you have money to burn and you just want to fight. Pros: Big reputation Cons: EXPENSIVE, get passed off to inexperienced attorneys more
