Umar grew up in a small town in Western Washington and was drawn to the law from an early age. He began a banking career fresh out of high school, and completed college while working full time and earning a bachelor’s degree in Law & Justice from Central Washington University. After graduating from Central, Umar continued to feel the pull of law and decided to go to law school.. Umar continued working full time and started a new mortgage business while attending law school at Seattle University School of Law, completing and earning his Juris Doctor. His mortgage business quickly found success (placing Umar in the top 20 loan officers nationally), before he eventually decided to sell the business - thereby allowing him to practice law full time.. Umar says, “Few things are more noble than the practice of law. Nothing I’ve done professionally gives me more personal satisfaction and fulfillment than being able to represent those in need - particularly those who have been harmed or treated unfairly by another. It’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of bringing a client closure and a measure of justice.”

My practice consists of me and my support staff.  We assist clients with their tax, estate planning, probate and bankruptcy needs.  I  have been practicing law in the Puget Sound area since 1993.  The goal of my firm is to have satisfied clients.  To do this we assess our potential client’s needs and expectations, if we don't believe we can meet their needs or expectations we will pass on representing them.  When a client hires us, our goal is to exceed their expectations.

My personal interests include healthy food, bicycling, family, and community activities.. I get the greatest satisfaction out of changing people's lives for the better.

My injured clients and their families pay a steep personal price when other people or institutions choose, for whatever reason, to do things that put other people in harms way.  I believe holding wrongdoers accountable for their choices and their actions is the best way to bringing justice to the injured, killed or abused.  Justice for my clients, and people like them, means closure; it means making sure they are fully and fairly compensation for what was taken and doing something to prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.  It is our right to expect our fellow drivers to follow the rules of the road.  We can rightfully expect corporations to keep their vehicles, their equipment, and their properties in safe condition.  Doctors and hospitals must follow the safety policies and procedures developed over the years to keep us all safe.  Nursing homes must hire, train, and supervise enough qualified staff people to care for our most vulnerable citizens.  When these expectations are not met and someone gets hurt or killed as a result, justice and fairness require recognition of what happened, restitution for the injured, and those in responsible must make the changes necessary to keep the same thing from happen again.

My clients entrust me with their lives at a vulnerable time. It is my obligation to help them navigate legal issues while maintaining their humanity. My paralegal, Tanya, and I work closely to maximize your outcome and minimize your emotional toll. Our goal is to create a durable solution for your family law issue.. founded O’Loane Law Group with my mother, Rodi Hartney O’Loane, after fifteen years of family law experience on my own.

My primary goal is to help you create a durable solution for your family law issue.. I grew up in Oso and after graduating from Arlington High School in 1985, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Western Washington University, and attended Seattle University Law School and earned my law degree.. I have extensive litigation experience and substantial Alternative Dispute Resolution training and experience. My litigation experience taught me my clients have a unique insight regarding their family’s issues and are capable partners in their own litigation representation. Both approaches have made me a better “outside the box” family law attorney. I am honored to help people navigate a difficult time in their lives, whether it is through litigation or mediation.

After graduating from Gonzaga School of Law in 1997, I continued handling personal injury matters, almost exclusively, working for two busy law firms over the next 20 years, gaining valuable litigation experience..

My focus and passion remain on plaintiff personal injury law, which allows me to continue to help those that have been wrongly injured by the negligence of others.. If you are hurt because of another's failure to follow a duty, an established rule, or exercise reasonable care you can pursue a personal injury claim to hold them accountable. Holding those negligent accountable leads to greater safety for us all. If you’ve been hurt, contact me for a free consultation.. ----.
