Hones Law is the best team to call if you're having trouble at work. Dealing with a bad employer is tough, but they give you total peace of mind. What means the most to me is knowing these attorneys have lived through the same kind of stuff I'm going through. Anyone can try to handle a case, but you can’t truly represent someone unless you’ve been there yourself. Communication is top-notch, too. They send short email updates on their own initiative so you're never left wondering. I've only needed to ask one question this whole time, and they gave me a plain-English answer without "dumbing it down" or making me feel stupid for asking—which is something I've felt dealing with other professionals before. They treat you with respect, do what they promise, and know how to handle business. Sharlon Carmody

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience consulting with attorney Ed Hones. He is professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to understand his clients’ needs and concerns. He explained everything clearly and provided thoughtful, practical guidance. I highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney.
I’ve filled out the intake form 8 times and have not heard anything back. It would be awesome if you could respond to potential clients who have a strong case! Thank you!
This form fought long and hard for us. They stood their ground and never wavered. I would 100% use and refer this firm to anyone that may need a caring and determined lawyer to fight for them.
Very Professional and helpful! I would recommend to anyone! They took my case when others did not, taking on a world wide company and made them look like they were right out of school. The Law/Court battle was new to me (Very time consuming), Hones attorneys (Ari and Ed) broke everything down and kept me informed…
I reached out to several attorneys and Ed Hones was the only one who actually got back to me and he did it fast. That alone said everything. From the moment we connected, Ed extended every courtesy. His communication is unmatched. He’s responsive, thorough, and treats you like your situation genuinely matters to…

The entire team at Hones Law is absolutely phenomenal. I reached out to Hones Law initially to get guidance regarding a personal concern and the conversation Ari and I had led to additional areas for investigation impacting many current and past employees. Given my feelings in the moment, I figured it couldn't hurt to pursue them. The team had already made me feel very comfortable and if there was a legitimate opportunity to get back at the company I felt wronged by, I wanted to see it through. The team quickly got to work reviewing the documentation I provided and within a week, I was informed that there was likely a case. I decided to move forward and couldn't be happier that I did. From our very first meeting, the Hones team was thorough and caring, kept me in the loop every step of the way, were lovely to work with, and ultimately earned a fantastic settlement for a substantial number of exploited contract employees. All employees deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and that was the theme of the case from the start - thank you to the entire Hones team for your hard work and empathy. I cannot recommend Hones Law highly enough!

Thank you, Kip! It was a pleasure working with you. I am so happy we were able to finally resolve your case after years of litigation.
Very Professional and helpful! I would recommend to anyone! They took my case when others did not, taking on a world wide company and made them look like they were right out of school. The Law/Court battle was new to me (Very time consuming), Hones attorneys (Ari and Ed) broke everything down and kept me informed all along the way. Thanks for all Hones!
Thanks so much for the review, Jeff. Taking on a massive corporation is never easy, especially when the legal process is completely new to you. Ari and Ed were glad they could step up, break things down, and help you navigate the battle. We really appreciate you trusting our team here in Seattle with your employment case. All the best!
I reached out to several attorneys and Ed Hones was the only one who actually got back to me and he did it fast. That alone said everything. From the moment we connected, Ed extended every courtesy. His communication is unmatched. He’s responsive, thorough, and treats you like your situation genuinely matters to him, because it does to him. You can feel that immediately. His experience speaks for itself, but what really sets Ed apart is that he cares. That combination of deep expertise and real human warmth is hard to find in any profession, let alone law. If you need an employment attorney, stop looking. Ed Hones is the one. An exceptional lawyer and an even better person. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Ed
AI receptionist... fail
The BEST Employment Lawyer in Seattle Ed Hones is fantastic. I called Ed when a situation arose with my employer that didn’t seem right, but I wasn’t sure what, if anything, I could do. He was responsive, answered my questions, and explained everything clearly. Ed is honest, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. His advice has been invaluable. I appreciate his straightforward approach, even if it is not what I want to hear. If you are looking for an employment lawyer in Seattle, I highly recommend Ed Hones. His legal advice and assistance are the reason I had a good outcome and made a bad situation bearable.
Hones Law represented me in a case recently. I was blown away by the professionalism and attention to detail that they put forth on my case. They exceeded my expectations and ALWAYS had my best interest in mind. I would highly recommend them to anyone that feels like they were wronged. I would give them ten stars if it were an option. Thanks again, Ed and team for the exceptional work you provide to our community!
