James Howard at Davis Wright Tremaine provided excellent counsel during a difficult breach of contract case for my small business. His deep knowledge of commercial litigation, honed over his years of practice, was immediately apparent. He clearly explained our legal position and the nuances of Washington state law, making a complex situation manageable. The recognition he's received from Best Lawyers is well-deserved. While his billing rates reflect the firm's premium standing, and there were occasional delays in email responses during particularly busy periods, his strategic approach and preparation were invaluable. We achieved a favorable settlement, and I would confidently recommend him.
