John is a straight to the point no sugar coating kind of lawyer. He stepped in and helped in my situation more than he needed to, and directed me without making me feel like he pitted me or my situation. I would hire him in a heartbeat to help me if I ever need a lawyer again. Great advice and helped me clear up my case so it was easier to move forward. He was a mountain against the opposing party that was not shaken. John and GS Jones Law, thank you for all you have done for my family. We are forever grateful. — Client 12/23/2024 |

I was in a car accident where I was the passenger. John Groseclose was able to get my medical bill payed for pluse a bit more. He is a great lawer. He is knowledgeable and gets what he can for you. He fights on your behalf for whay you deserve. My best advice to those needing a lawer: do what your lawer tells u to do. It helps the case. — Client 12/07/2024 |

I filed a petitition for a protection order and included supporting evidence - I felt like I did a pretty good job on my own at this point. After the commissioner granted a temporary order but excluded my daughter, I didn't really know how to handle the hearing - what could I say to get my daughter included and to ensure I would be granted the protection. Mr. Groseclose provided excellent advice and took the time to review my bullet-point statement that I prepared for the judge. I had ample evidence to prove my case, but his help gave me the strength and confidence to address the court without babbling; just keeping to the points. In the end, the judge granted my protection order and included my daughter. We can now live in peace for at least a year. Thank you, John! Thank you so much! — Client 11/21/2024 |

I came to Amanda's law firm with an extremely difficult case - I was really being treated unfairly by the court and the GAL. I wish I could say she was able to turn my case around, and win back my ability to see my kids in reasonable fashion. She did not. However, I don't know that it was possible. Kitsap County is not, in my experience, a place of fairness and justice. What she and her firm DID do was help defend me and prevent my case getting any worse. She did this while effectively controlling her costs, and I ended up getting most of my retainer back. I've hired 6 attorneys so far, and she's the only one who didn't burn through every cent they could.... This is a unique quality that demonstrates her focus on actually doing right by her clients. Now that I have moved my case to a jurisdiction where I might actually have a shot of being listened to, my main regret is I can't still be represented by her. It is impossible to find this kind of representation, someone who sees you as a person to be helped and not as prey to be fed upon. — Client 05/23/2022 |

I worked with John Groseclose for my family law case, trying to relocate to Colorado. I had been in the process of trying to move for 2 1/2 years before hiring him, as my third attorney. He explained to me all the steps that needed to be taken that hadn’t been done by any previous attorneys I had. He is very knowledgeable and straight forward. I won my case and am more than pleased. I wish I would have hired him from the very start!!! — Client 02/21/2021 |

G.S. Jones was referred to me by a friend and they were nothing short of tremendous. The staff and paralegals are excellent. I recommend the services of Larry Lofgren. He is knowledgeable, has experience, and is good-natured. His expertise and counsel helped make my case less daunting. Larry personally went out of his way on multiple occasions to help me. I have no regrets with choosing G.S. Jones and highly endorse Larry Lofgren. — Client 11/03/2020 |

I used several attorneys in the office for divorce, real estate law, personal injury and when my husband died. John Groseclose helped me most recently with my late husband's pension and property. John guided me through difficult times and incredible paperwork. What I like about John is that he let's you know that you are in steady hands. When I was so upset, he was calm and levelheaded. I felt listened to. I really liked the fact that I could rely on other lawyers in the office for anything and everything that came up. — Client 11/16/2016 |

My sister and I were forced to hire an attorney when our beloved grandparents passed away due to another family member whom decided to make false accusations and allowed greed to blind her hoping to eliminate us from our grandparents will, thus making my sister and I protect our integrity and interests. We found Williamson Law group via Google search and we are both grateful and extremely happy that we did. Amanda Williamson and her team went above and beyond the call of duty while at the same time keeping our costs lower than we imagined!! I highly recommend Amanda Williamson Law Group to anyone and everyone!! And p.s. she not only fought hard for us, but she won for us also! — Client 09/10/2016 |

John was recommended to me by a family friend when my divorce became increasingly ugly. My now ex wife disappeared with our 2 children and spread numerous lies about me to anyone who would listen. John and his associate Sara Humphries were extremely helpful and worked with me every step of the way. when things seemed to turn for the worst for me they offered me not only great legal representation but words of encouragement that really helped me thru it. In the end during my divorce trial I don't think one thing went against me. After a long hard fight and with the extreme patience and help of Mr Groseclose I was awarded full custody of my 2 children who very happily reside with me now. Words could never explain my gratitude, John continues to be my attorney as my ex wife continues to cause many problems but he still shows the same diligence and professionalism that he did when this matter was first brought to him. I consider him not only a friend at this point but a part of my family. He can be a bit eccentric at times but truthfully that's because he is so brilliant. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is going thru what I did. John will fight hard for you and you will be pleased with the outcome. — Client 10/04/2014 |

I am an eighty-six year old woman, with very little knowledge of the law. After the death of my husband, I turned to a close friend, the son of my husband's good friend. I allowed him to take control of my finances, so he could buy property and build me a home. I thought it was my home, and I had agreed that upon my death I would will the land and property to him. This was going to be my payment to him for taking care of me a couple times a week, for the rest of my life. I do not drive so I was dependent upon him to take me grocery shopping or to the doctor. I did change my mind, as I became frightened that they were changing their attitude towards me, and perhaps they were not going to look after me as I continued to age. I told them I wanted to move to Florida to be with my daughter, that I would like to sell the home and I would pay them a generous amount for their time and labor. They immediately withdrew all funds (thousands of dollars) minus one hundred from my bank account. They refused to give me my money, and I was shocked to learn that I only owned one third of my own property that I had paid one hundred percent for. I had signed papers that made us joint tenants with right of survivorship. I can never thank John Groseclose an attorney with GS Jones Law Group, in Port Orchard, WA., enough. He was able to get a sizable amount of my cash returned, and he made them see that it was in the best interest to sell or buy out my portion of the property. Without John's help, these people would have just waited for my death and then they would have taken everything. I would have had only my social security to live on. I now have an opportunity to get my own home near my daughter. This may not be a proper kind of letter, but I am just an old lady with common language, but then John represents common people, God Bless you John. Miss Pearl — Client 02/19/2014 |

I have known Dave since he began practicing in Kitsap County. His primary area of practice is domestic relations law and I believe his reputation in this area is good. Dave's firm handles guardianship cases which is one of my areas of practice. I believe Dave is knowledgable and competent in this area, and has a good reputation for truthfulness and fair dealing. — Peer 11/03/2014 |
