I am an attorney at Linville Lawfirm, PLCC.  I specialize in construction law.  I work with my brother, father and other attorneys here.  We provide top notch legal representation to persons and companies involved in construction disputes, whether it be contractors, material suppliers, property owners, architects or engineers.  About half of my practice involves dispute resolution.  The other half involves dispute prevention.  This entails drafting and reviewing contracts, subcontracts, proposals, estimates, credit applications, lien waivers and other documents in the normal course of a construction project.  I’m a firm believer in the old maxim that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to lawsuits.  Litigation is very expensive.  While you can’t eliminate the risk of litigation, you can minimize the risk by using the right contract documents for the right job, carefully choosing who you work with, and properly sending out your pre-lien notices.  I enjoy the practice of law. Not only does it pay the bills, but I get a lot of satisfaction in helping clients avoid and resolve disputes.. As far as my personal life goes, I was born and raised in Seattle.  I attended the University of Washington for my undergraduate work and my law degree. My wife Liz and I have an 18-month-old named Adam. If Adam becomes a lawyer some day, he’ll be the third generation lawyer in the family. My hobbies are playing soccer, piano, golf, learning languages and windsurfing.

I am a native of Tucson, Arizona who graduated from the James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona in 1991 and began a DUI and criminal law practice the following year. I won my very first jury trial where I represented a client with several DUI priors who was facing considerable prison time if he was once again convicted for the offense. While any attorney with no prior trial experience would have reason to be nervous on his or her first trial, representing someone with multiple DUI convictions was a daunting,but exciting challenge. Winning the trial gave me the confidence that I could successfully represent anyone charged with DUI. I subsequently won my second DUI trial as well. Having represented clients in criminal cases in municipal, state, federal and tribal courts, I am accustomed to practicing in a wide variety of settings.. The DUI Law Firm was subsequently founded with the goal of providing competent, affordable and dedicated DUI defense representation for clients in the greater Seattle region.. I am also a well cited legal author who has published articles on criminal law and other legal topics. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, following college sports and most importantly spending time with my family.

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..

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.. There are many terms people use to describe the types of cases I help people with: "workers' comp" or "workers' compensation;" "L and I;" "Labor & Industry" are a few examples. If you think you have been injured at work, or become sick due to conditions at work, feel free to reach out to me and we'll see if I can answer any of your questions, point you in the right direction, and/or explore whether it is time for you to consider hiring legal representation. 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
