Thank you for your potential interest in engaging my firm's services to assist you. Over the past 30 years I have acquired expertise in a number of legal areas including residential and commercial real estate, corporate law, entity formation, estate and probate, dog law, and litigation.  I have a ***** (Five Star) Yelp rating which is indicative of the high level of service I provide. If you are interested in additional experience and qualifications, please read on.. IN-DEPTH REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE:. Over the years, I have served the needs of hundreds of clients, some of whom are well known in our community.  This includes the founder of Horizon Airlines in dealing with difficult/complicated real estate deals.  It is by no coincidence that clients enjoy working with me and likely become clients for life. In addition to possessing a great depth of knowledge and relevant experience, I am a consummate professional and work diligently to complete my tasks -- whether big or small, extremely complex or simple.. CORPORATIONS/ENTITY FORMATION:. I have represented individuals and corporations from mom and pop to Royal Greenland U.S., Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Greenland A/S, a huge conglomerate and "Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court".  I have also represented real estate company investors, restaurants, wireless companies, a Washington Lottery winner, a marble and tile company, nightclubs, bars, among so many other companies.  I have also evaluated over 100 companies from the standpoint of a venture capitalist from 1999 through 2009.  I have formed numerous companies and formed one of the very first limited liability companies in Washington in 1994.. MEDIA EXPOSURE/EXPERIENCE:. I have also had my share of media attention in relation to my law practice, having been interviewed on National Public Radio, by the major Seattle television stations, including in-studio, and having been quoted in local papers including the Seattle Times, Seattle Post Intelligencer and the Stranger. I also appeared in a television documentary regarding a legal issue in which I was involved. Finally, for the novelty of it, I appeared on The Judge Judy show in an episode which aired on March 29, 2018. Of course I won and Judge Judy threw the book at my opponent. It was quite an experience so feel free to ask me about it.. REALTOR/C.P.A.:. I also bring to the table my prior experience selling real estate and being involved in several personal real estate transactions. Lastly, I attained the C.P.A. designation many years ago, which occasionally is useful in the real estate transactional work I am involved in.. ZEALOUS ADVOCACY:. When doing real estate litigation, clients ask me if I am a "pit bull". My answer is that in circumstances in which it furthers my clients' interests, I am the most tenacious and zealous advocate they could have possibly hired to protect their interests. However, in many situations, finesse is the best tactic to use in order to get the job done. I have sent many pit-bull lawyers home with their tails between their legs after out-finessing them while ignoring their juvenile and unprofessional antics.. I was very active growing up and played soccer, basketball and tennis.  I also water and snow skied.  These activities continued as an adult to some extent until I had to have 3 surgeries on my knees and finally a replacement (5/12/21).  I will also have the other one replaced this year and should be able to pick up where I left off several years ago.  My passion is soccer and I led my men's soccer team into the premier league to play against ex-pros.  While that leval of play was short-lived, I was able to "sweep" (last guy back except the keeper) for the former Turkish National and World Cup keeper.  I have also attended the World Cups in Germany (2006) and Brazil (2014) and was hosted by the Sounder's owner in Germany.  Another leisure activity I partake in is playing music.  I play the alto saxophone and  currently play in the West Seattle Big Band (24 years) and a saxophone quartet.  While I am an average player, I was able to take lessons from local legend, Johny Jesson, whose instructed Kenny G. (solo artist) and Don Lanphere (Woody Herman's Second Herd).. Regardless of whether you need legal help in resolving a complex case, or if you simply need some sage advice, it would be my pleasure to assist you.. Very Best Regards,. Robert

I have been practicing Criminal Defense in the Puget Sound area for nine years, and if you have been arrested for and/or charged with a crime you need to immediately do two things: (1) remain silent and (2) get an attorney.. You need to remain silent because anything you say can be used against you, and it will. The police officers, in this situation, are not your friends no matter how nice/professional they are. Innocent or guilty, trying to talk your way out of it will only backfire.. You need an attorney because there are practical consequences to criminal charges and convictions such as the loss of your freedom (jail time), loss of your driver's license, deportation, etc. An attorney can explain all of the consequences of the charge(s), and even if you end up entering a plea, more likely than not, can negotiate a far better agreement than you could on your own.. That’s because an attorney knows what the Court’s policies are regarding the crime you are charged with (a typical sentence given the crime) and what factors. can be used to negotiate the best agreement (criminal history or lack thereof, specifics of your case, credibility of the alleged victim(s), etc.).. If you qualify for a public defender, great!  Take advantage of their services!  If you do not qualify for a public defender, call me!  Aside from the reasons above, you will find I am knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive (I return calls and answer questions ASAP), and  my rates are RIDICULOUSLY LOW.  Why do I offer such low rates? The reason is simple: everyone deserves a fair shot.. Staci R. Gossett, Attorney at Law
