Please note: Imanta Holmquist” is this attorney’s legal name, he goes by “Imants Holmquist.” This is because Avvo requires the use of the name listed with the bar association for all attorneys, and the Washington State Bar Association has Imants listed by his legal name “Imanta Holmquist”. “Imanta” is a Latvian name that is no longer in use as a male name due to grammar changes in the 1880’s, but is still carried on by families as a tradition where the name has been passed down generationally prior to that change, as is the case with Imanta Holmquist.”. Power in legal disputes and negotiations means having strong knowledge of the law and understanding of the issues to take effective action at every opportunity. A key reason clients hire me is that I keep my eye on their business goals. In other words, I get deals done. I’m enthusiastic about cooperating with my clients to build and develop their projects and aspirations.. All transactions have risk. What’s important is moving forward in as protected a manner as possible — understanding which of those risks are worth losing sleep over and require protective measures, and which should be understood, but ultimately not kill a deal. Balancing this dichotomy is an art as much as a skill.. I strongly care about the outcomes I obtain for our clients. I understand that when a client has a favorable outcome, he or she will be a client for life. To develop this relationship, I start from the position that responsiveness is essential: where possible I try to respond to all communications within 24 hours.. I was born and raised in the Seattle area. I grew up speaking Latvian and gained proficiency in Swedish while studying in Sweden. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and three children, playing golf, skiing, and attending Husky football games.
