Washington State Bar Association Review

The professional and regulatory bodies related to the practice of law need to be separate.

What an embarrassment to our state. I filed a complaint with this association as they are to represent the citizens of Washington in the upmost professional, compassionate, impartial and socially responsible manner. I requested an investigation on Karl Flaccus and his competency to represent any client. After getting the traditional form letter back, which shouted that they had not even read the complaint, I insisted they open an investigation on Mr. Flaccus's competency. A hearing was held with 3 other lawyers to determine his competence. Of course, it was ruled in his favor. The kicker the 3 lawyer committee, only one has any ESTATE law experience and it wasn't her main focus. The other 2, one municipal law, code enforcement and land use, the other, faculty of University of Washington, environmental law. WOW! The people deserve better. WSBA do better!

Couldn't get a live person on the phone when calling, but got a call back 6 hours later.

WSBA is a mandatory Bar Association for lawyere in Washington.

Washington State bar association cannot help they represent I believe their job is just to win 4 the state for wsba to be able to say they represent anyone else than the state is false factors . in Washington you don't get treated as a constituent . Wsba had not unlawful behavior lawyers reflect on mothers and families when they don't pay attention and fight for whats right they have to many case loads .

Great way to find the right lawyer near you excetra

The Washington State Bar Association is a toothless, weak organization that only tends to the needs of it's members. Asking them to police their membership is tantamount to asking the fox to guard the hen house.

Doing a very difficult job with professionalism. The website is very useful.

Gives attorneys a license to steal. They condone it

I tried CFPB..the Att. Gen. Office...CLEAR NWJUSTICE PROJECT. Thurston county volunteer lawyers....Washington Bar Association....and this web site was recommended by them with detailed information about how to us it and all the infromation i needed to get legal help .NOW IT DOESN'T WORK......I HAVE NEVER SEEN PEOPLE WHO WORK SOOOO HARD NOT TO WORK. 3 months after calling started with CLEAR to get a referral i get denied...when i qualified the first call accepted.....

Nice facilities. Can't get up the elevator before 8 am.

WA BAR ASSOC. Only take sides with the attorney and not the citizen just like the Office of the Insurance Commissioner. WA Government is outrageously and obviously corrupt !

Very helpful regarding filing a complaint against an attorney

Super Corrupt. The RPC Codes are there. Try reading them. This is why white Collar Crime Flourishes in this state. Fraudsters.

What a corrupt organization. Lawyers can tamper with evidence and lie to the judge and the BAR will look the other way. Gotta take care of their own, laws and integrity don't matter.

I see the corruption within the government as a whole however, there's still a lot of good people trying to make it right. Like Melissa J. Briggs, she helped me 3 years ago through the NW Justice Project and honestly she helped me more in one week than the attorney I spend 10000 dollars on in 9 months. Thank you so much and even to this day I think about how much you helped me want to thank you from the depths of my heart! You are the shining star in the sky out of all the millions of dull dim balls of gas lol ! Thank you 1000000000x I can not thank you enough. GOD BLESS!!!

Very helpful and promptly returned my call in a timely manner
Thank you Washington state bar association I never liked lawyer's until I called your office

211 gives you their number for low-cost or pro bono attorneys and these people actually get angry at you for calling. And it's not just once it's over and over and it's different numbers. But the same people answering. Unless you're rich you're not entitled to be represented if you're innocent. As if things aren't bad enough you have to feel this. By the way there's a fee to get names of attorneys as if you don't know how to look that up on Google coffee. They're extremely angry and crabby people answering the phone

A COMPLETE JOKE. Corrupt Attorneys supervising more corrupt attorneys. This agency should be turned over to the state. It is the only agency in the state that governs over professional licenses without state regulation. Rude, Lazy and incompetent would be a mild statement for this agency. The STATE needs to step in and regulate this Agency. If you have issues with them ..report them to the DOJ (Department of Justice). It's time we get rid of corruption in our state.

A joke. WSBA is pathetic at best. Corrupted attorneys helping other corrupted attorneys one day at a time.

oh my, sent letter promptly, but not what i asked for, seems they're in cahoots with police politicians ; at leastlewis co.wa.

Washington State Bar is a worthless organization. I reported an attorney which knowingly violated US Federal law and he was not sanctioned. Therefore they are an accessory to illeagel activities. Attorneys in this state have a free ride with these people. They only help themselves and are not interested in public complaints.

Disappointing. My children and I fell victim to attorney malpractice, unethical conduct taking advantage of us financially. I have all the evidence in the world in writing stating specific rules of professional conduct that were violated and showing dishonesty of attorney in response and practices. The BAR refused to investigate further and did not respond to the complaints and RPC's that were violated. There is no recourse in Washington State to protect clients from attorney misconduct no matter how much evidence and facts are available. My kids and I now suffer the consequences because they refuse to investigate. And attorney's more enabled to maintain unethical practices. I wrote my representatives about this, and hope for reform one day to protect our communities from unethical attorney practices.
