Haaseth Law Redmond Wa review signals at a glance

_______________________________________________________________ [Updated 08/01/2025] I made the decision to use Michele's services again thinking that based on the bad initial experience followed by her coming through things would be alright. Unfortunately, Michele has yet again left me with weeks of unanswered emails, is intentionally not taking my calls or responding to my messages. She let me know earlier on in my case that she required my partner to have separate representation which we paid for out of pocket, and unfortunately seems to have been an additional waste of money because Michele is unresponsive to my partner's attorney as well. This is truly unacceptable for any service provider let alone an attorney who is supposed to be acting in your best interest. I have weeks of emails unanswered, and when she finally did pick up the phone and confirmed that she would have my document ready by the end of the day - that was also a lie. Not only is it not ready she is continuing to avoid communication at all. I've been nothing but accommodating and respectful in all of my communication and the bare minimum expectation is to get the service I pay for which is absolutely not what you will get with Michele. I highly recommend you avoid this attorney and her office because odds are it is going to cost you way more anxiety and stress than it's worth. I genuinely wish I had engaged another attorney and deeply regret working with Michele. _______________________________________________________________ [Initial review] Maybe one of the worst experiences I've had with any service I've had in WA. I contacted Michele in June, 2023, and had a phone appointment scheduled with her on 6/30/23 to talk to her about my situation. We had what I thought was a great discussion about why I was looking to engage her services as an attorney, and she assured me that I would receive an email follow-up from her that day with the documents she talked to me about in our conversation. It was 4th of July weekend following that conversation, so when I didn't receive a follow-up I gave her the leverage that it was a Friday leading up to a long weekend and everyone deserves that kind of leeway. By 7/14 I still hadn't heard from her, and sent a follow-up email, and then another, and then another with no response. I was in Europe on a business trip and called her from there and was finally able to get her over the phone near 7/20 when she apologized for not responding and claimed it was because she had recently taken on a number of additional clients but confirmed that it was not an excuse for me not being taken seriously and that I was still important to her. She confirmed on that day that I would receive an email with the documents by the end of that day. Which never happened. On 7/25 I emailed her letting her know this was totally unacceptable and I received a response letting me know we could schedule a phone call the next morning, which I didn't need to do. I let her know that I didn't need a phone call, I needed the documents she had told me on multiple occasions that I would receive multiple times before. I never received the documents. She has not responded to emails, phone calls, or text messages since. Michele is super unpredictable. She will come off as a trustworthy attorney over the phone, but will never follow up, keep dragging you along with the hope that she's going to follow up, and then never will. I'm desperate for a new attorney now with being a month late on my legal case which should and could have been handled within that first week. Avoid.

Michele Haaseth from Haaseth Law recently worked with us on our estate plan, will, and health directives. Her work was stellar, service excellent, and she is a very enjoyable person to work with. I highly recommend Haaseth Law for any of your legal needs.
