Budd Bay Law P.S.

It has been one year since my divorce. I am not sure how I would have survived the past four years without Bill Pope of Budd Bay Law. He sets the bar for legal knowledge, skills and experience. He was invested in me and my girls. He has so much knowledge and experience. My divorce was very complex with a family business involved. He went above and beyond to do the research that was needed for a successful settlement. I felt so supported. He guided me and was invested in my future. He was an amazing balance of empathy and fight when needed. I without hesitation recommend Bill Pope of Bud Bay Law if you have’ a complex case and need an intelligent, articulate and empathic person on your team. He is the best.

I can’t say enough good things about Brandon and his team. Going through a divorce is never easy, but they made the entire process feel manageable and less overwhelming. Brandon was kind, patient, and incredibly communicative every step of the way. I always felt heard and supported, and he took the time to explain everything clearly so I never felt in the dark. His team was just as wonderful—professional, responsive, and genuinely caring. They treated me like a person, not just a case, and that made all the difference during such an emotional time. If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly has your back, I wholeheartedly recommend Brandon and his team. They made a difficult chapter so much easier to navigate, and I’m deeply grateful for their help.

Both Mr Koenig and his assistant, Enola provided me with great response time as well as compassion and knowledge that made me feel very supported in what my needs were. Mr Koenig answered every question I had and was very personable, which made me comfortable with the choice I made to hire him. 10/10 recommend, based on my experience.

I highly recommend reaching out to Budd Bay Law P.S. regarding any legal service they provide. Eric Pilon and Lily Young did a remarkable job representing me in my PO case. They were communicative, answered all my questions and navigated me through the legal process. They put everything together, submitted all needed documents to the court and showed up at every hearing which helped put me at ease during a very difficult time. Special shout out to Brandon and Enola for all of their help and expertise. Everyone I interacted with at Budd Bay Law was helpful, respectful and understanding. Thank you for everything!

Finding the right attorney during a crisis is not easy, but meeting Attorney Justin Huxford changed the course of one of the most difficult seasons of my life. When I first sat across from him in July 2025, I was overwhelmed and facing a civil protection order that turned my world upside down. Justin brought calm, clarity, and steady confidence from the very beginning. He listened to my story without judgment, understood the truth, and treated me with respect at every step. Justin is a rare combination of professionalism and genuine compassion. He communicates clearly, never rushes his clients, and makes sure they feel informed and protected. Throughout the months that followed, he stood by me with patience, integrity, and unwavering dedication. I always felt that he saw me as a person, not just a case number. His guidance helped me stay grounded, and his skill made me feel safe in a very frightening moment. Because of Justin’s expertise and commitment, the civil protection order was dismissed. This outcome lifted a heavy weight off my life and restored peace to my home. I know this victory was possible because he fought for me with both strategy and heart. I am grateful for the way he carried himself in and out of the courtroom. He was steady when I was anxious, clear when things felt confusing, and respectful of my daughter and my faith. Working with him gave me the strength to move forward with hope. Justin Huxford is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and deeply committed to protecting his clients. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs strong, honest, and compassionate legal representation. He made a lasting difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for the way he stood beside me. Thank you, Justin. You deserve every recognition for the work you do and the lives you help rebuild.

Great firm that really does their homework. Skip has been a great asset to represent my business.

I was recommended to Brian Barnes at Budd Bay Law by a friend, and it was one of the best decisions I made during the divorce process. Brian and his team were excellent to work with. Brian communicated clearly, made me aware of what was going on. Brian was also very good at giving advice to help me make sure I got the best outcome for my case and not letting my emotions get ahead of me. He was also very aware of billing and costs, and worked very efficiently. Brian created a fair and amicable conversation around the process with the opposing party and while I can't say divorce is fun, I can say that Brian and his team were the best to work with and I am very grateful for their help.

I reached out to Bud Bay Law looking for appropriate counsel, I was paired with attorney Justin Huxford & legal assistant Olivia Drivas, They were both SO SO wonderful to work with. Their process was seamless, they gave me realistic options of what to expect, were very prompt, communicative, and caring, with their help I won my case! 5 stars is not enough! Thank you so much Justin & Olivia, I owe you and BudBay everything!

Scott Kee is the fourth attorney I hired to help my family through a very messy property dispute. I cannot express how much I wish we had found him first. It literally would have saved years and tens of thousands of dollars wasted at other firms. He very quickly grasped the complexity of the dispute - better than any of the other 3 attorneys that were involved for months prior. He has always been straight with us. Helped us analyze our options from multiple perspectives and explained the legal side of a very emotionally charged dispute. I have zero qualms about trusting him and his advice and will continue to do so for any legal issue I may have in the future. He is honest, responsive and does what he says he will do. He never once overcharged us or sent an outrageous or surprise bill. He never missed a deadline or filing. Always kept us informed. Always took our calls or scheduled time for us. If you’re wanting good, honest and reliable representation, Scott Kee is the gold standard. UPDATE 2025: It has been a few years since the conclusion of the original case I mentioned above. I had the privilege of working on another, very different type of case with Scott Kee. Having an attorney that you trust is truly priceless. Scott has always given me sound advice on what my options anre and the likely outcomes through a variety of scenarios. The thing I appreciate about him the most is that no matter how emotional the situation can be, he sees it clearly through a logical, legal lens and is skilled at asking the right questions to help navigate to a successful conclusion. I always felt respected and heard. I was and am confident that he represented us as his clients well in negotiations. I am truly grateful to him for helping me yet again and for resolving the matter to the benefit of his clients.

Most people do not feel "good" about needing a lawyer, in our family's case (three) however Budd Bay not only made this not so fun process a bit easier but they are Really good people. They care about you, your family and the case. The work as a team to try to get the best results possible and the communication is above and beyond. I would recommend anyone to Budd Bay if the services lined up. We worked with Brandon, Brian and Eric. Also the backbones Dakota, Olivia and Maria... Thank you all so much.

I normally don't post reviews but am overly compelled to do this time. I hired Scott Kee to try to recoup some money that was stolen from me by a contractor that never performed any work he was contracted to do. Scott basically took my money and told me he was processing a lawsuit through Thurston County courts to sue this person for my money. Well, many months went by and I never heard a word from Scott or their office except to receive constant invoices asking for more money. When I repeatedly asked what was happening, and why I was being charged more money, but having heard nothing from them, I got attitude in return. In fact, I'm going to copy and paste the attorney's actual quote in the message he sent me. I was begging for their help to recover over $50k that was stolen from me. Essentially, it seems as though they stole money from me too. Our last interaction I asked him what to do, and his response was this, "We need to get the company personally served with the lawsuit to seek a judgment. We tried, unsuccessfully, with the process server. My next step would be to get a private investigator to track him down. Open to suggestions though." Open to suggestions? I hired an attorney to help me through the legal process, obviously I'm not a legal expert. So when I ask for help and an update to where my money is going, your response is "Open to suggestions." Seriously!?!?! Seriously!?!?! The final straw is that when I rose concerns that my attorney was asking me for suggestions, they dropped me as a client. Ha! What a total joke! Terrible at your jobs, and when you get called out you drop the client. Now that professionalism at it's best.

Honest law firm. Very reasonable. Very ethical. Widely respected.
