I had an excellent experience working with Van Siclen Stocks Firkins on my personal injury case. My attorney, Dexter, was outstanding from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, direct, and always made sure I understood what was happening and why. I never felt rushed or left in the dark, which matters a lot in a stressful situation like this.
The paralegal, Skye, was also fantastic. He was responsive, organized, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, and any questions I had were handled quickly and professionally.
Overall, the team was thorough, attentive, and genuinely invested in getting a strong result for me. I’m very grateful for their work and would confidently recommend Van Siclen Stocks Firkins, Dexter, and Skye to anyone needing reliable and effective personal injury representation.
Wonderful experience I want to thank Jeff and Sky for getting my settlement done before the holidays and always answering any question I had very quickly. Will be referring all my friends to you guys.
John Stocks is direct and honest — he tells you what you need to hear and has your best interests at heart. He’s very knowledgeable in family law and takes the time to explain things clearly and realistically.
He’s also easy to reach, responsive, and very thorough. He held the opposing counsel accountable when incorrect legal information was being presented — a testament to his command of family law and commitment to his clients.
Behind his straightforward approach, he’s genuinely kind and helpful. If you want someone who knows family law inside and out and will advocate for you until the end, I highly recommend John Stocks and his firm, Van Siclen Stocks & Firkins.
I would like to share my experience in securing legal representation for my personal employment case, an endeavor that proved quite challenging, especially in identifying an attorney who instilled a sense of trust and understanding. As a woman of color, I initially questioned whether it was essential to have representation that mirrored my identity to truly comprehend and empathize with the profound trauma I experienced throughout the two and a half years it took to settle the case. This aspect was a significant factor in my search for the right legal partner. I hope this insight into the complexities and emotional labor involved in this search may be helpful for others facing similar situations.
I ultimately chose to work with Jeffrey Musto and his paralegal, Sky Park. I am pleased to convey that my initial concerns about not having a person of color represent me quickly dissipated. They both invested considerable time in understanding my individual circumstances, demonstrating a profound grasp of my case and the desired outcome. While I acknowledge that I can be a very demanding client, their performance was exceptional.
Should you be seeking a legal team, I highly recommend considering their firm and advise against allowing preconceived notions or stereotypes to influence your decision, particularly if you are a person of color.
Pennie assisted me by suggesting I contact vital records in Olympia Washington in regards to my birth certificate. I believe she's saved me a lot of $$. Thank you Pennie
I had a perfect experience with VSSF. Mr. John Stocks and his team—Emma and Dexter—did an excellent job on my case. Mr. Stocks was professional, responsible, and truly took care of my situation, pulling me out of a difficult time. It might have been a routine matter for them, but it meant a great deal to me.
Emma was always prompt and patient in her responses, which I deeply appreciated. Thank you all for your hard work! I’m so happy and grateful. I wish VSSF continued success and hope they can help many more people in the future.
I am very disappointed with this firm. It took several emails, texts and phone calls to even have someone contact me back. I finally was able to set up a consultation, and when Mr. Firkins called, the paralegal had given me the incorrect time so I was left feeling scattered and unprepared. I was told by the paralegal that Mr. Firkins would only call if he felt there was a case, but when I spoke with him, I felt like I was being talked down to and wasting his time. Not impressed.
Unfortunately, my experience with John Stocks was disappointing. I didn't feel properly supported or heard, and communication was often unclear. His impatience in listening, combined with an aggressive and dismissive attitude toward my requests, made an already unprofessional process even more stressful. I do not recommend him.
Owner response
We understand you were dissatisfied with your free consultation. No attorney-client relationship was established, yet we provided our time in good faith to explain options and discuss next steps. Our firm is committed to professionalism, clear communication, and respectful service, and we wish you the best.
Van Siclen Stocks & Firkins great team of attorneys!
Worked with John Stocks and he is highly professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. He’s well-regarded for his integrity and commitment to his clients. I confidently recommend him to anyone in need of legal support.
P.s. They have best the paralegal team and front desk.
This attorney actually disclosed information to another attorney to harm me, and this firm withheld my judgement from me for more than a year and left me to handle getting it back from VSF who kept my settlement money!!!!! CAUTION WITH THIS FIRM
Did a consultation with Jeffrey Musto, he asked me to gather documents and I spent time doing that. I sent it to him and he never got back to me. I followed up several times and never heard back! Very unprofessional! I don't recommend him or this firm.
