Gourley Law Group

It was my first 1031 exchange transaction. From the first phone call to the last email, I was given great explanations and guidance. Shari Wulf was especially patient and helpful. Highly recommend.

Carrie is so helpful, she kindly provided guidance to my real estate title related questions, I really appreciate her help!

Kevin is very professional, prompt and provides great communication! I highly recommend working with him.

I initially retained Gourley Law Group in August 2025 for assistance with my mother’s estate and TEDRA-related issues. At first, I had concerns about delays and communication, especially regarding the lack of a TEDRA petition or enforcement action when the estate was experiencing time-sensitive problems, including foreclosure risk. However, after raising these issues in my feedback, the firm responded quickly and proactively. They took my concerns seriously, clarified the status of the case, and began taking concrete steps to correct the situation. Communication improved, questions were answered more promptly, and they worked to get the necessary actions moving in the right direction. Their staff showed professionalism in addressing misunderstandings and making sure I felt heard after bringing up my concerns. While the start of the representation was difficult, I appreciate that they ultimately made an effort to resolve communication issues and work toward protecting my mother’s interests. Their responsiveness after my initial review reflects positively on their commitment to addressing client concerns and improving the overall experience.

I hired Gourley Law Group in June 2025 as a first time homebuyer who had purchased a home where known pest infestations were not disclosed by the sellers via standard disclosure forms. This was the only firm in the greater Seattle area that specialized in this component of real estate law, and who were willing to take my case. I had the pleasure of working with Kevin, Spencer and Kristen over the course of 4-5 months where they were able to assist me in recovering payment for the damages incurred by the raccoons living in my crawl space and attic. Everyone communicated quickly and efficiently to avoid additional expenses to myself, I felt that I was treated respectfully and in a professional manner, and Spencer was very knowledgeable and skilled in negotiating an acceptable settlement. Overall, I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking Real Estate legal services in the greater Seattle area.

Thanks to Gourley Law Group and the entire team. We contacted Craig Gourley for assistance with a contractor dispute through the online website and Craig responded quickly and, on a weekend no less. We discussed a strategy, cost involved and documentation I would need to send over to support our complaint. We filed through the court to secure our complaint and started by making a claim against the contractor's bond. Several others also filed against the bond which at the time, had limited bond insurance as required by the state at the time. It was a long process establishing who gets the bond money and/or how it would be split between the parties. The Gourley Law Group team was exceptional in negotiating our position and securing us the full amount of the bond. Although not enough to cover our full loss, the cost to proceed further would not be in our best interest since the contractor filed bankruptcy and the cost to pursue this further would require additional cost, we were not willing to spend. Craig offered to reduce our cost of his time so that our expense to recover the bond amount was limited. We found this to be highly acceptable and appreciated. Thank you for your integrity, communication and efforts throughout our case.

Note of caution: I spoke with Mr. Gourley by phone and was assigned to Kevin Burkowsky, made my payment of $500 and did not receive any usable council. I had to point out passages of the legal documents to him which made me question whether he, Kevin, even read those docs. When I asked him for solutions, Kevin told me that someone needs to “do the numbers” but that wouldn’t be him. So what did I pay for? For Kevin to tell me he couldn’t support me. Find a lawyer that will tell you if they can help BEFORE you give them your money. I feel scammed.

We had the pleasure of working with Gourley Law Group for nearly two years on a case, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the beginning, Gwendolyn, Tom, Daina, Craig, and the rest of the staff that was involved, were professional and truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome for us. We primarily worked with Tom but since our case had some real estate/construction details, he occasionally got Craig's input on things since that is Craig's forte, and we really appreciated that Tom did that! Tom's knowledge, experience, and guidance were invaluable (especially since the case as a whole was uncharted waters for us and therefore stressed us out) and he was very efficient in everything that he did. Throughout it all, Daina supported us with the paperwork and the never-ending list of details that magically get done without anyone ever needing to ask when and how it was done. So much work was put in to all the documents that were prepared! I know most people would agree that lawyers are expensive but GLG's billing was straightforward and honest. I never felt cheated or like I wasn't sure what I was paying for. We had the opportunity to have a couple colloquial conversations with both Tom and Craig and it was fun to get to know them both a bit better on a personal level. The firm even sent us a sweet baby gift (delivered by a very kind personal delivery service) when we welcomed our littlest one during this process. Like I said - very kind, very personal, very understanding! Just based on my interviews prior to hiring GLG, I think it is difficult to find a law firm that genuinely cares for their clients and truly focuses on the client's best interest, but I think GLG does just that. Highly recommend and we will use them in the future for real estate projects! Thank you, Gourley!!
