Alexander Mackie

In both permitting and litigation, Sandy Macky has given us outstanding representation and counsel. We would recommend him without hesitation.

Kyle Heaton
Port of Centralia

Alexander ("Sandy") has been an invaluable member and asset to the Association of Washington Business. Our organization lobbies the Washington state Legislature and state agencies on behalf of over 6500 members on a variety of issues, including environmental issues. Sandy's legal knowledge and practical experience with land use and environmental law have been instrumental in assisting us with reviewing and commenting on a variety of legislative bills. Sandy always approaches controversial issues with a positive, constructive, and proactive attitude.

Christian McCabe
Association of Washington Business

Realvest Corporation has been benefiting from Sandy Mackie's land use counsel for over 15 years. We are a development company with larger than average projects and we consider Sandy to be the most knowledgeable land use attorney in the state of Washington. He simply knows whereof he speaks; he doesn't have to look laws up - he knows them. Thus, if we need quick information, we get it. If we need detailed briefs or argumentation with Cities and Counties, he is the man to persuasively deal with the issue. He has saved our skins many times.

Alexandra R. Cole

I have worked with Alex on both domestic and international professional service contracts for close to 15 years. Her reputation as an effective real estate attorney is terrific and her ability to assist our firm in a timely and professional manner is consistently automatic. Alex is an unwavering advocate on behalf of her clients and has the set of skills to effectively negotiate tricky issues in a non-adversarial manner, which leads to agreement without alienating potential clients. She understands what is important to us as a service provider and also understands the needs and requirements of our clients; she can facilitate a mutual understanding and ultimate agreement in a cost effective and efficient manner.

Bruce A. Bonjour

Bruce Bonjour and his colleagues at Perkins Coie have been excellent in their service to Community Reinvestment Fund, USA. Bruce is the rare lawyer who combines excellence as a lawyer and understanding as a human being. He pioneered the development of CRF's secondary market for community development loans, and helped to transform how Wall Street looks at this market. He has advised CRF on more than $1 billion in transactions that have brought capital to businesses located in some of the country's most distressed communities. He is terrific!

Frank Altman
Community Reinvestment Fund, Inc

Bruce is the best attorney I have worked with in my career. I work in a somewhat obscure corner of securitization and structured finance -- using these techniques in the field of community development and affordable housing. I worked with Bruce to bring to market the first ever rated security backed by community development small business loans -- a feat that would not have been possible without the combination of Bruce's deep expertise in securitization and structured finance, and his passion for bringing capital to meet the needs of low-income people and communities. Bruce also worked with me to learn the business of structuring transactions utilizing the New Markets Tax Credit during the first year that it was available, when regulations were still in flux and investors were unfamiliar with the vehicle. Bruce is extremely creative in solving problems of structuring transactions, negotiates very effectively on behalf of his client, has an impressive breadth of knowledge, and is always a pleasure to work with.

My experience in Labor Relations spans more than 30 years. I've been fortunate in that time to work with a number of talented labor lawyers. Of the group, Bruce Cross is the best I've known. What makes him the best is his skill in listening to the client and using the client as a collaborator in preparing for litigation. He has a humble approach, which results in an amazing win record. He is truly a gentleman and a scholar who knows how to win.

Mark Bowman
Puget Sound Energy

When we have a complex labor issue, Bruce is the person we turn to. Bruce provides practical and useful advice that can immediately be put to use. Bruce has a way of taking a complex legal issue and boiling it down to the important points to consider and addressing each of those points to provide a well thought-out strategy that meets the business objectives. Bruce is extremely assessable - surprisingly so, considering how busy he is. In addition to labor strategy and questions, Bruce is very knowledgeable on general employment matters and Washington unique issues, such as wage and hour, discrimination, and leave laws. Bruce is very personable and easy to work with. He knows what inside lawyers and clients need. We recommend him to others without any hesitation.

Daniel C. Barr

I used the services of Perkins Coie's attorneys from numerous offices over a period of years and grew to trust and like them, both as lawyers and as people. But of all those extraordinarily talented folks, Dan Barr stood out as a star. He is confident, reserved, knowledgeable, and always prepared. He brought the rare combination of legal expertise and great common sense to each of the cases entrusted to him.

David Miller
Elliott Associates

A serious journalist can have no better friend than Dan Barr. During the past 15 years that I’ve worked as a reporter and editor in Arizona, I’ve called him hundreds of times, including, on occasion, when sheriff’s deputies were screaming in my other ear threatening arrest. Dan memorably litigated a case in which Scottsdale City officials thought they would withhold employment records of a police officer who was involved in a drunken hit-and-run accident that crippled a county sheriff’s deputy. Dan won so convincingly, the judge ruled from the bench and Arizona courts have cited that decision in public records cases ever since. On a personal note, Dan kept me out of the joint when a public defender in a murder case argued that I should be held in contempt of court for refusing to roll on a source. Another time, Dan calmly explained to a city attorney and an assistant police chief’s personal attorney the night before publication why we were refusing their directives to spike a story I had written that detailed the assistant police chief’s illegal drug use. I’ve celebrated many victories with Dan -- and I’ve never had the opportunity to ponder a loss.

David A. Bledsoe

David Bledsoe has been our environmental attorney for over 10 years. During this time, he has earned our complete trust and respect for the way he watches over and protects our Company's best interests. Mr. Bledsoe is not an attorney who tells his clients what they want to hear. He does an exceptional job of presenting all aspects of a problem or issue and then, if requested, will offer what he feels is the best approach. I have learned to truly value his opinions as they are measured and always tied to what is best from a business perspective. David is loath to unnecessarily 'spend' the clients money unless absolutely necessary and cost effective. Bottom line: I couldn't be more comfortable with having David Bledsoe represent us. If there is a way to obtain favorable results, Mr. Bledsoe will "take the ball into the end zone". If not, Mr. Bledsoe will mitigate the negative impact as much as possible.

Bryce DuPere
Carlton Company

David Bledsoe has been a great asset for our environmental program in the Northwest, keeping our company out of a potentially damaging CERCLA matters. He brings a broad knowledge of the law, environmental science, and the local agencies.

Brian Jacobson
Qwest Communications International Inc.

David is an exceptional trial attorney when it comes to dealing with environmental and construction contract issues. He is excellent at discovery planning, preparation, and execution. He is very strong in trial planning, and he exercises careful and efficient management of his own staff and resources to achieve the desired outcome at the best practicable cost to the client.

Michael Nearing
MasTec, Inc.

David Bledsoe has a first-class legal mind, is a terrific communicator with the business client, and has the trust and respect of the judiciary. I don't know what more you could ask for in an environmental/natural resources attorney or in a litigator. I have seen David in action in the courtroom and have read his briefs: crisp, clear, analytical writing and forceful, but careful, delivery in front of a judge (and, as I have said, the ones I have seen him before like him.) When thrown into a brand new area - one that carries a lot of transactional weight, too, and is, perhaps, outside of his traditional expertise - he excels and dives in, analyzes, and asks all the questions that need to be asked. Expect to be arguing all the issues ahead of time when David is on point. In addition, and of equal importance, you can expect to get a meaningful answer/pathway at the end of the process. Mr. Bledsoe has been chosen for the most important work of the corporation I represent, and, in my judgment, my corporation has been well served.

Richard A. Schneider
Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging, Inc.

From 1994 through 2000, I was the responsible in-house attorney when Mr. Bledsoe represented The Boeing Company in environmental litigation and other environmental matters. The litigation involved a three-week trial in Federal District Court in Portland, Oregon, and Mr. Bledsoe was well organized and efficient; he worked well with me and with Boeing witnesses and others involved in the trial preparation. He was able to communicate clearly his objectives with the case. He was effective in both direct and cross-examination, and his objections were well taken. During the same time period, Mr. Bledsoe successfully obtained dismissal of a case against Boeing on substantive and innovative legal grounds that saved significant legal expense and potentially sums in settlement. More recently, I have talked with my colleagues who work with Mr. Bledsoe from time to time, and he continues to have a reputation for being a thorough, efficient, and effective attorney.

Thomas Waite
The Boeing Company

Mr. Bledsoe has consistently provided valuable counsel to Dana Corporation for the past five years. David has demonstrated the ability to clearly and concisely outline the issues and options available to us and has been able to move the settlement process along through negotiations and creative thinking. Dana will continue to use Mr. Bledsoe's services as our needs dictate.

Mr. Bledsoe is an excellent attorney with outstanding analytical and writing skills. He can take highly complex issues and describe them for non-experts in a clear, understandable manner. He is especially good at providing practical advice and alternatives.

David J. Burman

I have worked with Dave Burman for more than 20 years on legal matters relating to libel, access to public records, reporter subpoenas, and similar matters that come up in newsrooms. Dave has always been responsive and helpful, even when issues crop up late on Friday afternoons, which they always seem to do. His counsel has ranged from informal advice over the telephone to representing a reporter in a long legal dispute involving a former sheriff. The advice has always been on target. I don't believe we've ever failed to prevail in actions relating to freedom of information or protection of reporters' rights. Dave also has been cognizant of the cost of counsel and has assigned legal interns or lawyers with less experience to help offset costs. However, he has always maintained a high level of involvement in the work being done, and I have never felt we ever got less than Dave's best. He has also come to the newspaper on several occasions and held workshops with reporters and editors at no cost. To say that I would recommend him highly would be an understatement.

Guy R. Martin

I have always been taught if you wish to hire an attorney or law firm to do your bidding, ask the opposing counsel who they would not like to see on the other side of the room; they chose Perkins Coie and Guy Martin. Guy and his team have brought a level of experience, both from their office and their outside contacts, that is helping our community as a whole and our company, specifically, in dealing with an opposing party that is extremely well funded and politically connected. We have been able to not only keep our opponents at bay, but Guy is putting us in a position to win where no else thought we could. Ease in communication, blending with our team, insightfulness with our issue, camaraderie - these all describe Guy's characteristics. In the four years we have worked on our issue, ego, arrogance, and a closed mind have never been things I could attribute to Guy. The only thing that can be said of Guy that has the slightest hint of negativity is that when he is buying drinks he orders scotch from the bar gun and when I'm buying drinks he orders 25-year-old McCallans. The highest compliment I can give to Mr. Martin is that I would recommend him and his firm to any one dealing with a like issue and I guarantee you I don't do that lightly.

Richard O. Prentke

I can easily say, without hesitation or exaggeration, that there is no better lawyer than Dick Prentke in terms of representing owners in construction matters. This is true for any location, not just Seattle. Dick has mastered all of the skills necessary to merit this praise: a deep and unfailing knowledge and understanding of the underlying law; the ability to communicate knowledge to clients, opposing counsel, judges and juries; the respect of colleagues, fellow practitioners and the Bench; and an extraordinary range of experience in all manners of construction related issues and disputes. Plus, he's just a really great guy.

James Niemer
Sound Transit

I have worked with Richard Prentke on numerous design and construction agreements, as well as a few major disputes over the last 15 years, and have found his services invaluable. His ethical standards are a match for his professional excellence. The public agency I work for has received high value from his work. I recommend him without hesitation.

Scott Eads

Scott is a perfect example of the "best of breed" that you can find at a big firm like Perkins. He has a couple decades of experience, specifically litigating intellectual property cases. He clearly knows which facts are going to be relevant and how to structure his work and his thinking to best highlight those facts. He can distill everything that a client knows and feels into a worthwhile litigation strategy. More important, he is also a great coach for clients who want to understand more about the internal workings of IP law.

I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to my colleagues and those at other companies.

Thomas E. Platt

Mr. Platt was an invaluable resource to our organization as we conducted negotiations with a union seeking to represent one of our operational units. He provided excellent legal advice and assisted us in conducting the process with utmost professionalism. With his help, we ultimately achieved the results we were looking for.

Tom E. Lindley

Tom is a highly skilled, highly detailed, very experienced lawyer who has the rare ability to also see the forest along with the trees. While he charges the not cheap going rate (you get what you pay for), his vast knowledge and insight allow him to quickly grasp complicated matters and efficiently provide the required legal advice necessary to navigate the complex world of Environmental Law. You can pay less, but it will likely take longer to resolve matters, and if the advice is not right, it can cost you big time in the future. My only reluctance in giving this good review is the fear that Tom will become too busy to handle our future needs. You cannot go wrong with Tom Lindley on your team.

Elaina Jackson
Pacific Wood Preserving Co.

Tom is one of the best environmental attorneys that I have worked with. He is extremely experienced, easy to work with, timely in responding, effective with others, clear in his communications, etc. He is very respected amongst his peers for his integrity, work ethic, and skill at developing strategies. He has the ability to quickly grasp the significant legal issues and facts in any given case and then develop the most effective strategy to protect and promote his clients' interest.

Charles Logue
Clean Water Services

Mr. Lindley has been an extremely effective advocate for the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility. He has both the personal knowledge and the resources to provide top quality support to the project. He is always responsive to our needs, no matter when an issue arises. He also has the capability to see the bigger picture in issues and provide recommendations that have a balance between being tactical and strategic.

Kathryn Silva

Tom has always been very professional, timely, informative, and helpful. His knowledge of environmental issues is outstanding, and when he doesn't know the answer he is quick to point me in the right direction to ensure my needs are met. I appreciate his candor and thorough coverage of topics.

Kimberly Howard
Owens Corning

Tom has been more than our attorney -- he has been a valuable advisor to us as we navigated some difficult waters. His degree of preparation and his ability to anticipate, together, have served us tremendously well. I don't know if we would have achieved what we have without him.

William Cahill

I highly recommend William Cahill of Perkins Coie LLP. When I want a fast, accurate opinion on a complex matter, or an honest assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of my case, I seek out the services Bill. His advice has never been wrong, and he always does what is right for me as a client, not what will provide the most billable hours.
