Allen Fischer PLLC

Do not retain this law firm. The future of your relationship with your kids is in their hands. With that, this is the first review ever for me. After following advice of one of their attorneys I ended up with a misdemeanor charge. The attorney referred to me by the wrong name the entire hearing as well, after showing up 10 minutes late. Do not retain this law firm. Communication is horrible. There is concern over services rendered vs what was billed. I was billed for services that may or may not have occurred. When it deals with your future with your kids, it is 100% unacceptable when your attorney takes 2 months to respond and that it takes another month+ to get information from the partners on whether services were actually provided or not. Took my attorney 2 months to do a simple email. When I reached out to the two partners about these issues, Matt Fischer and Dena Allen, I waited a month to hear anything and only after being the squeaky wheel.

Mr. Fischer is always timely, helpful, professional, and affordable. Have been working with him on and off for over 12 years. We appreciate him!

Matt and Shayla have been amazing in helping me in modifying a parenting plan. Specially when it is a stressful situation.

As a family lawyer myself, I can't master everything about every state, and Burke Law is one of my go to resources for Washington law. Very knowledgeable!

We hired Joe Linehan months ago and he helped with what we needed then. We couldn't afford him anymore, or any attorney for that matter so we finished out the case ourselves. We ended up with a parenting plan however the other party refused to comply. We attempted to contact him for further counsel as he already knew the details to our lengthy case. We did not know how to proceed. We left several messages and I emailed him and he refused to respond. He left us high and dry with no explanation as to why or a recommendation for another attorney. I would never use him or this firm again.

Very professional and trustworthy.

Zero stars would be the rating if possible!!!...DO NOT HIRE THE BURKE LAW GROUP!This law firm, specifically Kenneth Zigler (no longer employed by Burke Law Group to my knowledge) and Rhylee Jordan Smith, are horrible!In the particular case I am aware of the law firm allowed their client, Lance Michael Watkins, to file a petition to modify a parenting plan that never should have been before the court. The law firm also allowed their client, Lance Watkins, to submit false statements and documents in order to pursue his case. Through a subpoena for documents issued by the court (the documents required in the subpoena were falsified before acquiring them legitimately) the respondent was able to show Lance Watkins (through his legal representation of the Burke Law Group) 'misrepresented his findings in the form of false statements and documents he submitted to court'. As a result of the false statements and documents and bringing a mother to court in 'BAD FAITH' Lance Watkins had to pay costs for lost wages for bringing the mother to court in 'BAD FAITH'...Lance Watkins was sanctioned under CR 11.Simply put, the Burke Law Group took a client (Lance Watkins) and allowed him to bring claims that were not true (proven in court) before the court. This law firm (specifically Rhylee J. Smith) withdrew from the case as a result of the false information they allowed to be filed. The Burke Law Group should have done due diligence beforehand. The Burke Law Group chose not to! Instead they just 'ran with it'. DO NOT HIRE THIS LAW FIRM OR ANY ATTORNEY WHO WORKS FOR THEM! You could be on either side of a case. This law firm does not do the work necessary for your case. The Burke Law Group and their attorneys charge a lot of money and you should spend it elsewhere in my opinion.

I worked with Joseph and April for my Social Security and they are just wonderful. Responsive and timely. I am a bit deaf and I know that can make someone impatient but they were just wonderful.

Matt and Anne have been outstanding and understanding professionals. Its tough during a tough personal event in your life who will give you that lifeline. Hope you never need it, but if you do Matt/Anne are on your teamMike Bullington

I had a very negative experience with Burke Law Office - Joseph Linehan in particular and his always changed assistants and rude secretaries. No business ethics, no empathy and no legal help.

This place is not for fathers rights for a extra price they will take as much time away from a dad as they can. I was just a dad that couldn't afford a laywer and they took full advatage of that now i get 4 days amonth with the kids but if they can sleep at night living with that more power so if your a mom want to take kids from there dad this place will help u out

Reasonable retainer and real honest legal advice

The best ever

Mr. Joseph Linehan you rock!!!!

Called never returned call

I was appointed Robin Schmal from this firm and I have to say Robin is the absolute Greatest lawyer!!! My son was basically kidnapped from me by his sister and she gave him to strangers, I had only been in this state a few weeks, we fled from VA to Spokane to be WITH MY DAUGHTER, and to give my son a better life. I was a mess , I had no idea about WA lawRobin took her time and explained in person and they 100s of emails the process and she fought like nobody’s Buisness and she got my son returned to me! I had a fugitive warrant against me , I am a recovering addict and have been for years and even with this against me she proved thru councilors , reports etc that I was a great mother , This lady truly truly fought for not only me but for my son and for justice!! This is the firm to hire !!!
