Hi, I’m attorney Stefanie Dorn.. I help people across Washington in places including Seattle, King County, Bellevue, Redmond, Kent, Snohomish County, Island County, Yakima, Benton County, Clark County, Chelan County, Whatcom County, Bellingham, Everett, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Arlington, Monroe and the rest of Washington State vacate their criminal convictions so that they can live free from their past.. Defining a person by a single incident is wrong.. I am dedicated to getting to know my clients for who they really are, not what a piece of paper says.. You need a lawyer you can trust and don’t need to keep chasing for updates.. I have significant experience in litigation. I have been involved in more than 1,000 hearings during my career and have experience on both sides of the table.. How do I work with a Criminal Records and Vacate Convictions Attorney?. By now you’ve probably had enough of dealing with the court system and various lawyers.. When you work with me, you won’t be flooded with contracts and complicated court forms.. You can instruct me over the phone or via email – no need to wait weeks for an appointment or to travel to my office in person.. Invoices and court motions are dealt with electronically – all that is required is your electronic signature.. After instructing me, I take care of absolutely everything. I can obtain your records for you so you won’t need to provide me with any detailed explanations about your convictions that you’re not comfortable with. You will not need to appear in court.

Hi, I'm Mike Gillett.. My Seattle-based law practice is devoted to fighting for your property rights and your economic rights. Under the law, you are entitled to the reasonable use of your property, and to responsibly conduct your business. I'm here when you need an advocate for your rights in a court of law or before a government agency - both state and federal.. After graduating from Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, I was admitted to the Washington Bar in 1980. I went to work as an associate at the Law Offices of Roger M. Leed, a small environmental and land use litigation firm in Seattle. In 1985, I began a four-year stint as an aide to U.S. Representative Al Swift in Washington, D.C., assisting him on environmental and energy legislation. I returned to Seattle in 1989, opening The Gillett Law Offices. For the next 11 years, most of my work was lobbying on environmental legislation and regulations. I represented both large and small businesses.. In  2000, I returned to a litigation-oriented practice, working for the McElroy Law Firm in Seattle - again, a small environmental and land use litigation firm. In 2005, I opened The Gillett Law Firm. My practice is primarily litigation in such areas as boundary disputes, tree law, environmental contamination, administrative law, and general property law. I also handle some employer issues, including litigation concerning workplace safety and industrial insurance taxes.. I was born in California in 1955, and spent most of my first 25 years there. My father was a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy, and my mother worked in procurement for the Defense Department. My wife, Teresa, and I were married in 1988, and have two adult daughters..

Here’s the Story…. You’ve been hurt.  Or someone in your family’s been hurt.  You’re looking for someone to help.  It’s important to hire someone who shares your values and is going to maximize the value of your case.. The Myers & Company page of our website tells you about how we run our business and handle our cases.  This tells you a little bit more about me.. It All Started With Soccer. I’m very competitive.  And I like hard work.  When I was growing up I devoted a tremendous amount of effort and energy into soccer.  I loved the “beautiful game.”  When I was 12 years old I juggled the soccer ball over 1,000 times without letting it touch the ground.. My competitive streak was fueled by my soccer coach, Bruce.  Bruce was Scottish.  He was probably the most competitive person I ever met.  Bruce was almost, but not quite, good enough to play professional soccer.  He was probably 30 when we met.  It was not unusual for him to slide tackle 11 or 12 year olds on the concrete playfield where we practiced when it was too muddy to train on the regular pitch.. The hard work and great coaching paid off.  I was recruited and ended up playing soccer at Stanford.  Even though I’ve continued playing at a high level (including a 2007 Over-40 National Championship with Seattle’s TA-2), success at this point is measured by friendships that started on the soccer field.. I’m looking forward to making the transition into coaching and taking my girls to the Sounders.  (We’re huge fans and couldn’t be more excited to have top level professional soccer back in Seattle).. Love and Marriage. I waited a long time to get married and have a family.  It has given me a new perspective on how an injury can affect the whole family.. At first it was just me, my wife Shera and our cats.  But then Juniper and Olivia joined us.. It’s cliché, but having kids changes everything.  Or, at the very least, puts a new spin on life.  They’re the focal point of just about every decision we make and just about everything we do.  They’re a source of constant delight.  And they’ve made me incredibly efficient—not a second’s wasted during the day.. Selectivity: A Key to Success. Over the first 20 years of my career I achieved a lot of professional success.  It’s a source of pride.  But more importantly, it’s given me the opportunity to be selective about the cases I take.. Selectivity ties directly into the “life ethic.”  I like working hard on good cases and for good clients.  It just so happens that those are the cases that are usually the most profitable.  (It’s important to hire an attorney that runs a profitable firm.  Attorneys who make money are in a position to make the best decisions about whether cases should settle or go to trial.  No reason to be shy…before hiring an attorney, ask him or her how much money they made last year).. It’s important to me to have enough time to spend with my family and do the things that – outside of the law – are really important to me.. One of those things is to ride my bike to work.  I’m fortunate that my route takes me through the Arboretum and along Interlaken Park.  On the way to work I have time to start thinking about my day and how I’m going to make money for our clients.  On the way home I can decompress and start thinking about what I’m going to do with the twins.. Skiing consumes the winter and spring.  During the past couple of years I’ve been doing a lot more slackcountry skiing.  Even though it’s more work, the sense of accomplishment (and untracked snow) are ample rewards.. Conflict and Resolution. There are few things I like more than conflict and resolution.  That’s probably why I decided to become a lawyer.. Hard work, creativity and aggression get cases resolved.  And resolving cases is really what we’re here to do for clients.  It’s how we add value.. Most of the time we resolve cases by settling them.  But, sometimes, there are disagreements that can’t be resolved without going to trial.. Trial is scary and exhilarating.  Conflicts get resolved at trial.  And there’s no bigger stage to display all the hard work that’s gone into preparing the case and, most importantly, for you to tell the jury about what happened and how it has affected you.. For me, the first day of trial is like standing at the top of a steep, rocky, exposed slope.  Basically a no-fall zone.  The stakes are high…but so is the potential reward.. On skis you push off, make a decisive pole plant and initiate your first turn.  Once you’re in the moment there’s nothing better.  The same thing’s true with trial.  I’m taut with nerves waiting to address the potential jurors on the first day of trial.  But once I stand up and introduce myself there’s nothing better.. When you hire a trial lawyer you need to pick someone who really likes going to trial and isn’t going to flinch when the chips are down.. Learning Something New. Maybe it’s part of the conflict and resolution mindset, but I’m not satisfied with the status quo.  This means that our house is almost always under a state of remodel and I’m constantly trying to improve the way we handle cases.. It also means that I’m always interested in trying new things.  Fortunately my wife is a tremendous sport (and usually endorses these exploits).. Wrap Up. That’s a lot about me.  I hope it helps.  If we end up working together I’m going to make you tell me everything about you.  That way, we’ll be even.  More importantly, it will help me tell your story and maximize the value of your case.

Hello! Before we go any further, let me first say that I'm sorry you are in the situation where you are looking for legal help. I hope wherever your search takes you, that you find the help you are looking for.. In today's legal profession, most attorneys have a specialty or a small group of specialties -- the days of the "general practitioner" have largely disappeared, not unlike what we all experience when we go to the doctor. My practice is limited to representing workers who have been hurt or become sick due to their work. Representing workers has been my only job since the fall of 2002. Prior to that, I was an Assistant Attorney General representing the Department of Labor & Industries, and for a couple of years, I was in private practice representing hospitals and health care workers..

Even if I am not able to represent you, I am happy to try to provide you with resources and referrals that will hopefully be useful to you and/or your loved ones.. If you are curious about my personal background, I was born and raised north of Seattle, and stayed in Washington State until my husband and I moved to Chicago in the mid-1990s so I could go to law school. We came back home after I graduated, and we've been so blessed to live in Seattle since our return in 1999. My husband, an Ellensburg native, and I have two kids who both headed south to the Bay Area for college after being stuck  too long in their bedrooms during COVID.  One is in San Francisco, the other in Santa Clara/San Jose.  Like most families, our kids' passions continue dictate much of how we spend our time. Our daughter is an equestrian in the hunter/jumper disciplines. A couple of years ago, she and I also adopted a rescue mare who we adore and continue to work with to bring her comfort, new skills & jobs, and security.  My daughter also loves to help produce live preformances just returned from a semester abroad in Copenhagen.  I love to quilt and do other handwork and treasure a nap or two on weekends.  My son is a freshman in college, the along with his dad/my husband the travel around the US and Canada racing RC Cars ridiculously fast.  He's also taken a shine to baseball in recent years and loves to hear our stories about the 1995 Mariner's playoff run.  My husband works in telecommunications and we live with our 2 poodle-mixes in Seattle in a home we purchased from my husband's great-great-aunt who bought the house with her husband new in the 1950s.. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you think I might be able to help.. Take care,KLM
