Our Approach
You and your legal issues are unique, and our attorneys don’t take the same tired approach to resolving them. We have some of the best, brightest and most hardworking lawyers in Seattle. We are dedicated to efficiently providing our clients with superior legal services while still maintaining a great place to work for our lawyers and staff.
Next to achieving successful outcomes for our clients, one of the things we are most proud of is being consistently voted one of the best companies to work for in Washington State. This year we reached number four on the list – but we were the highest-ranking law firm in all categories! We were also pleased to be ranked as one of the region’s best law firms by U.S. News & World Report in 2018, 2020, and 2022, and recognized by Best Lawyers from 2019 to 2024.

Then + Now
Our innovative and forward-thinking philosophy has allowed us to establish long-lasting relationships with our clients. SF&F attorneys have decades of experience handling trials, arbitrations, and mediations, in state and federal courts, as well as providing expertise on complex litigation issues, broad-based business advice, and preventive counseling to keep our clients out of disputes. We are lean enough to ensure our clients’ access to senior partners, with a talented staff that equips us to provide a broad array of legal services in a practical and efficient manner. The origin of Schlemlein Fick & Franklin dates back over three decades and is built upon the rock solid foundation established by our predecessors, including Dave Schiffrin and Bob Olson.
People + Culture
