Scott Blankenship, The Blankenship law firm Worst Attorney & Legal Service in Seattle Washington Seattle Washington
I hired the Blankenship law firm at a time there were few reviews posted in the hope that I had chose the right law firm. That was far from the truth! I made the biggest mistake in going with this law firm and trusting that they had my best interest at hand. Scott Blankenship strung my case along for years, moving files from one place to the next just to keep adding expenses. Little did I know less qualified attorneys were put on my case and the attorneys billed me for training in ethics. I consulted with several attorneys and was told that the Blankenship firm did everything to their advantage and I as a client should have never signed up with them. Not only did I go through the loss of my job and expected this law firm to be taking care of me as their client but in the end they took my settlement and sent me threats of suing if I posted reviews about it. Scott Blankenship never once said I want to make you as my client happy so let's come to an agreement, instead he says 'I got the best outcome' yes, you're right Scott you took the settlement for YOURSELF and did not care about your client. I hope all of Seattle can see just how well you treat your clients.

We regret that this former client feels this way. While we respect and appreciate candid feedback and always seek to learn from it, this client actually brought these accusations to court—the first-ever fee dispute our firm has had (and has since posted numerous false reviews under multiple aliases). A federal judge ruled that I, Scott Blankenship, “achieved an excellent result for [this client] despite the difficulties that this case presented.” In fact, she received the upper end of what she authorized. Regarding her accusations that my firm unfairly collected our contingency fee, the U.S. District Court ruled, “nothing of the sort occurred here.” Regarding her claim that I did not diligently prosecute her case, the federal judge recognized, there “is no evidence in support of this accusation.” The judge reviewed all of the evidence and concluded that each of her accusations was unfounded. He ruled her accusations were “uniformly extreme and patently unfounded, which reflects poorly on the accusers—attorneys who, quite frankly should know better.” We continue to have empathy for this former client and her many struggles and wish her nothing but the best.
