case types
REAL ESTATE
Real estate is a person’s most-valuable investment, and it deserves protecting. Our firm has assembled aggressive, but efficient, real estate lawyers who are skilled at defending our client’s property rights. Though we can fight, we know that real estate law matters don’t always require litigation. Thus, our firm also provides transaction services for both buyers and sellers of real estate. Whether it’s commercial or residential property we’ve represented thousands of individuals throughout the Seattle and Tacoma area.
PROBATE
When a loved one passes away, we are left with more than our memories of them—we are left with their property. Probate law governs the process of how a deceased individual’s property is distributed to his or her heirs. At Dickson Frohlich, we’re experts in the probate law process and have represented countless executors and executrixes (personal representatives) in successfully administering the estates of their deceased love ones.
BUSINESS LAW
The world of business can be complex—and in a world of increasing complexity, you need a law firm who’s seen it all. For over four decades, businesses have relied on Dickson Frohlich’s business law experience and expertise to solve their most-difficult challenges. The attorneys of Dickson Frohlich are seasoned business law professionals who know that the key to effective legal representation is more than simply winning in court but doing so efficiently.
FAMILY LAW
Family law matters are often comprised of the most complicated and difficult issues that clients will ever face. An attorney should not only understand family law, he or she must also be willing to learn their client’s family dynamics in order to provide them with truly comprehensive service. We represent clients in many family law-related cases, including divorce, spousal maintenance, child custody, child visitation, child support, division of assets from the marriage, and real estate disputes related to divorce.
DIVORCE LAW
A divorce can be the most stressful and challenging experience in a person's life. Because the decisions made during the divorce process may have long-term consequences, it is vital that someone going through it receives effective legal representation from the beginning. If children are involved, the process becomes even more complicated. A divorce attorney understands the complexities of Washington’s divorce law, and they help clients throughout each stage of the legal process, from planning to dissolution.
CONSTRUCTION LAW
Construction law refers to legal issues involving the building trades. The most common matters for individuals and companies are those dealing with building code enforcement, contract breaches, contract drafting, liens, and zoning disputes. Dickson Frohlich represents builders, general contractors, sub-contractors, homeowners, commercial property owners, material suppliers, engineers, and other construction professionals to make sure their interests are being protected.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
While people and machines run businesses, they are fundamentally born from a good idea. The law of intellectual property exists to protect the intangible property of good ideas—in all of their creative forms. Whether it be a process, program, device, or brand, the original thought that created them may be a company’s most valuable asset. Competing businesses frequently violate intellectual property laws to gain an economic advantage, whether through appropriating a company’s name, using its branding or graphics, or stealing a patented invention. Our job is to prevent that from happening, but if it does, we stand ready to move quickly to protect your ideas.
Dickson Frohlich is a law firm specifically designed to be nimble, able to adapt to our clients’ unique needs. This is because every client is unique. When you need an attorney, you’re almost certainly facing a problem you need to have fixed. That’s what we do at Dickson Frohlich. We don’t see our clients as a number, but as individuals.
Our results speak for themselves, but we want to hear from you. We offer free 15-minute consultations to help you better understand the best path forward for your legal situation. Contact us today to learn more.
LEGAL EXPERTISE
The Seattle real estate market and the laws that govern it are not fixed. The best attorneys know that to best serve clients they need to constantly be learning about the legal landscape and adapting to changes.
Unlike other law firms, we can point to specific examples of our attorneys’ expertise and authority. For example, Tom Dickson has authored several works about real estate law in Seattle, and Rob Dickson teaches real estate litigation at the Seattle University School of Law. Rhiannon Funke has successfully litigated over 500 bench trials and over 1,000 motions in her time representing large corporate clients.
