Testimonials
Media and Media Organizations
"Allied Law Firm helped us greatly when we were in desperate need of legal advice. Michele and her partners and associates were responsive to our questions and vigorously worked to protect the freedom of speech given to our newspaper by state and federal law. I would highly recommend them to any publisher seeking legal advice."
Chuck Allen, Publisher | Quincy Valley Post-Register
"Greg and Michele are on the top of a short list of the finest open-government attorneys in Washington State. Their intelligence, experience, and doggedness aren't the only reasons. What sets them apart is their commitment to the bedrock concept of open-government: we the taxpayers are the boss of public agencies; they are not the boss of us. Government conducts the public's business on the public's dime, and they are accountable to us. Michele and Greg don't simply advocate that position in court, they live and breath it."
Bill Will, General Manager | Washington Newspapers Publishers Association
"Allied Law Group has given us good advice and, when needed, represented us well on access to government information and other issues."
Stedem Wood, Publisher | Skagit Valley Herald
Trade associations and public interest groups
"To hold government accountable you need to carry a big stick while at the same time be able to persuade public officials to do the right thing. Allied Law Group is using its policy and legal expertise to do both effectively. Under the watchful eye of Allied Law, government will no longer be able to rest easy assuming violations of the law will go uncontested."
Jason Mercier | Washington Policy Center
"Allied Law Group helped enforce our rights to open government quickly and effectively. They knew the law, promptly investigated the facts and leveraged our position to help us achieve great results. Most importantly, I always felt that I was a part of the team."
Breean Beggs | Center For Justice
"When it comes to public records, nobody is as knowledgeable as Greg and Michele. They are the best resource out there for getting the documents to which you are legally entitled."
William Maurer | Institute For Justice
"As a government watchdog, the Evergreen Freedom Foundation relies on the ability to review government actions and records. Michele and Greg have provided us with valuable representation and counsel in navigating the Public Records Act. Their combined experience gives them a unique perspective on obtaining public documents. The PRA states: 'The people insist on remaining informed so that they may maintain control over the instruments that they have created,' and the Allied Law Group is especially effective because of Michele and Greg's devotion to this ideal."
Lynn Harsh, CEO | Evergreen Freedom Foundation
Attorneys
"As a civil litigator, I am routinely looking for documentation to support my client's position whether the dispute is over a job, a contract,
entitlements, or personal injuries. Allied Law Group knows how to locate and obtain supporting documentation for litigation that government has
generated long before the case ever goes to trial. Allied Law Group provides the advantage of document production outside the formal discovery
process. Allied can find information that you and the adverse party may not know about. Any time I need a smoking gun, I turn to Allied."
Joan Mell | III Branches Law Office
"Allied Law Group attorneys have some of the most creative legal minds I've seen. There is nothing cookie-cutter about how they approach a legal problem. They roll up their sleeves, fight like mad (but fairly), and enjoy themselves. I like working with lawyers who love what they do."
Timothy Harris, General Counsel | Building Industry Association of Washington
Businesses
"Two things I look for in a law firm are knowledge and execution. The attorneys in this firm have an encyclopedic knowledge of the laws they work with. Their experience means I don't have to pay to reinvent the wheel. Allied does my work promptly and thoroughly. They are very responsive."
Ed Clark, CPA | Clark Raymond Co.

"I contacted Allied when I was out of options to get our local school district to show us records relating to its unilateral decision to remove our special needs son from his neighborhood school. The school district originally told us it would take between six and nine months to locate and assemble the records we'd requested and tried to charge a $1,275 ‘inspection fee’ just to look at them. After Allied filed a suit for me, the school district reversed course almost immediately. Not a coincidence, in my mind. If you are a David who ends up having to take on a Goliath, you want Allied Law Group on your side."
Jessica Olson
"The attorneys at Allied Law Group are very professional and knowledgeable about the law. When I first approached them for assistance, they made a very objective proposal based on the Washington State statutes. They dug into my case and gave me timely and expert advice. They also provided a very detailed billing. All costs were well within their estimates. I highly recommend these professionals to anyone who has problems with a request of public records from government agencies."
