- ★★★★★Empathetic Advocate!
Mick ·
These folks are just great! I urgently needed to understand my rights. Jesse Wing and his team were warm, empathetic, generous, friendly, efficient, and extremely competent. I honestly couldn't have asked for better legal advice and support! Working with them solved my issues and empowered me with st rategies to advocate for myself! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for legal representation.
- ★★★★★Best employment lawyer for the little guy in Seattle
David · employment law ·
Jesse has helped me and another family member in complex employment situations, offering empathy, kindness, and tailored, top notch legal advice that is top of class. He came highly recommended by multiple lawyers in the know, and he did not disappoint!
- ★★★★★Excellent and Professional
anonymous · business law ·
I had the pleasure of working with Jesse concerning a contractual obligation relative to a non-compete clause. Jesse took an incredible amount of time just discussing my case with me and was always patient in addressing my concerns. Jesse was very familiar with this aspect of the law and was very c omfortable and confident in his proposal for addressing the situation. His professional approach led to a very timely resolution. Jesse’s team was also very professional, respectful and pleasant.

I am very happy to share my excellent experience with Jesse Wing! From the moment I first reached out to him during a challenging time in my life, Jesse exhibited absolute professionalism and expertise. What truly made a difference was his genuine empathy for what I was going through. I particular ly appreciated his frequent interactions, where he took the time to explain every detail of the process in a clear and reassuring manner. It was evident that he practices law with the highest level of integrity. Additionally, I had the pleasure of working with his peers and staff, who provided the same high level of care and support. I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation and who values a kind and compassionate demeanor during tough times.
- ★★★★★Exceptional Federal Litigator (2022–2026) – Intelligent, Ethical, and Relentless
Scott · civil rights ·
I retained Jesse Wing in 2022 in connection with a federal civil rights and retaliation lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho (Case No. 2:22-cv-00270-AKB). The litigation spanned nearly four years. The Fifth Amended Complaint was filed in September 2024, and after extensive discovery and motion practice — including at least fifteen depositions — the case resolved in February 2026 with a $1.5 million settlement and dismissal with prejudice. Jesse is an extraordinarily capable trial lawyer. His strategic thinking, deposition skill, and command of constitutional and employment law were evident throughout the case. He prepares exhaustively and thinks several steps ahead. Equally important, he is deeply ethical. Over nearly four years of litigation, billing was transparent and fair. There was no overbilling — only high-quality, substantive work. In complex federal litigation, that level of integrity matters. His team at MacDonald Hoague & Bayless was coordinated, responsive, and principled from start to finish. Jesse Wing is one of the finest attorneys I have worked with. If you need serious representation in complex federal civil rights or employment litigation, he is exceptional. — Scott Bauer
- ★★★★★There is simply no one better than Elizabeth Hanley and her legal team at SGB.
Linda · employment law ·
I met with Elizabeth in November 2019. I had been recently let go from my dental job shortly after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I had worked in the dental field for 35 years and was 61 years old. I had received an email from my former employers letting me know that I was no longer emp loyed at their dental practice. You can only imagine the panic I felt not to mention the deep betrayal from a group of doctors that I thought were supporting me during my battle. In my consultation, I knew imediately that Elizabeth would be the attorney to represent me. Her professionalism was above and beyond what would be expected from an attorney of her caliber. However, it was her unwavering compassion and fierceness that let me know she would fight to the end to right the wrong that had been undeservedly done to me. Elizabeth put me at ease and let me know that under no circumstance was this appropriate behavior and totally unacceptable, that having a disability I had rights and they had disregarded these rights. There was absolutely no reason to warrant tossing me aside as if I didn't matter or assuming that I would not be able to continue doing my job to the fullest extent. Or the fact that I was a person who worked hard for them every day and took pride in my position. I represented their practice with integrity and made sure that my treatment of our patients and fellow team members was always with upmost respect. After all we are in healthcare and that's what we do, take care of our patients. They didn't even take into consideration that they fired me during breast cancer awareness month. Elizabeth stood by my side and empowered me to stand up and let my former employers know that I matter and no one deserves to be treated this way! So, together we walked through this battle to defend my personhood and send the message that you cant treat me this way. Due to Covid and multiple delays on their end this walk together went nearly 4 years. Elizabeth kept in contact with me at all times. She kept me updated when even the smallest of information came to her. Elizabeth checked in on me on a regular basis and wanted to know how I was doing and how my treatment was going. Making sure if I needed anything to help me during my fight. She expressed her concerns that I was taking care of myself and celebrated with me as I continued to beat this. Elizabeth always made sure that I knew she was there for me and if I needed anything she would help me in anyway she could. She encouraged me as I went through this journey and on many occasions she let me know how proud she was of me as I faced many challenges. My former employers were not willing to settle out of court because they felt they had done nothing wrong and the jury would side with them. So off to court we went. Another amazing attorney from SGB Joe Solseng joined forces along with an impressive support team. All I can say is they should have settled out of court. It was impressive beyond to have this legal team show them that you are not allowed to treat an employee this way. After a long 8 day trial, the jury deliberated for a mere 90 minutes. They awarded me handsomely, way beyond my wildest dreams. I was vindicated and the message was sent loud and clear. This was unacceptable and you simply can not treat your employees this way. If you are in need of legal representation, you will be hard pressed to find a better attorney along with an extremely impressive group of individuals, than Elizabeth Hanley and her legal team at SGB. Thank you Elizabeth, your dedication has meant the world to me. Linda
- ★★★★★Phenomenal Representation
Marisa · litigation ·
Elizabeth Hanley is driven, knowledgeable and was extremely attentive. She out performed opposing counsel at every step. I would highly recommend her.
- ★★★★★Elizabeth is an outstanding lawyer - the very best!
anonymous · employment law ·
I hired Elizabeth Hanley when an employment situation became untenable and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found her. I could not have been better served by Elizabeth and her team. After working at a company for many years I was diagnosed with a serious illness. I was discriminated and reta liated against because the medical treatment impacted the company’s insurance costs. Friends and coworkers encouraged me to speak with an attorney and I was fortunate to be able to meet with Elizabeth. Her expertise combined with deep knowledge and genuine empathy helped me navigate a very stressful, difficult time. I was supported and felt I had a true advocate in Elizabeth. We did file suit and a few months before our court date, Elizabeth negotiated a settlement that I was very happy with. Elizabeth was always impeccably prepared and knew my case details inside and out. Her support made me feel as though she was personally offended by how I’d been treated and my emotional well-being was always her priority. My only regret for settling was not being able to see Elizabeth argue the case in court! She is incredibly impressive in depositions and mediation – I can only imagine her courtroom mastery. I cannot recommend Elizabeth Hanley highly enough.
- ★★★★★Couldn't ask for better
anonymous · personal injury ·
Elizabeth represented me in a personal injury case. Though the case took a long time to eventually resolve, as these things sometimes do (the legal system being what it is and all), Elizabeth consistently kept me in loop on what was going on and fought vigorously and intelligently on my behalf from b eginning to end, eventually concluding with a very healthy settlement. I always felt well informed of the risks, rewards, options, and situation throughout the entire time -- and I've had experiences with other lawyers where this was definitely not the case, where I was kept in the dark, or wasn't ever really sure what to expect. I also felt like she genuinely cared about my case, and I think her attention to detail and level of communication throughout the entire process is a testament to that. I don't think I could have asked for a better lawyer to represent me and my interests in that case.
- ★★★★★Wholeheartedly Endorse Ms. Elizabeth Hanley!!!!!!

You have suffered a life-changing injury. Ms. Hanley will embody intellectual agility, ethical sensibilities, and a deep commitment to set you up for success while you navigate the complicated process of trying to recover physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, socially, professionally, and p ersonally. Ms. Hanley is mindful of the intangible compensation a personal injury client desperately seeks: justice and accountability. With swift critical thinking skills, Ms. Hanley is thoughtful, efficient, and logical whether it is nuanced knowledge of previous case law or understanding how to defend and prepare the complex layers of your life before, during and after the injury. Ms. Hanley has a magnetic balance of determination, wisdom, and fearlessness. Ms. Hanley was patient and responsive to medical providers, giving her a degree of thoroughness and humility about my case. Ms. Hanley is intuitive, proactive, and purposeful with her time, effort and energy. As a client who required accommodations because of a disability, I was concerned if the extra support, guidance and flexibility that I needed would become burdensome. Instead, Ms. Hanley empowered me during each step of the process, expressed appreciation for my comments and questions, and through effective communication showed me she was a sophisticated communicator on my behalf. Ms. Hanley articulates legal jargon and processes in a way that clients can synthesize and appreciate. Every client should have the honor of being represented by Ms. Hanley.

The service was great and the case worked out better than I expected. The attorney works wonders.
- ★★★★★Great Experience
Jim ·
Patrick was very helpful and had a lot of good ideas and straegies for my case. He was very flexible when it came to the strategies and when things changed, he changed to meet the needs of my case.
- ★★★★★Lawyer you can count on
Stephanie · employment law ·
I'll be the first to admit that hiring a lawyer is intimidating. Is this the right lawyer? Will he care enough about you to work on your case? Let me put your mind to ease and tell you Patrick is the right lawyer who will work hard, no matter what your case is. When my previous employer refused to pa y me for hours worked I contacted Patrick. As soon as we met he had worked out a plan and within a month got me the money I was owed. Patrick was consistently honest and extremely patient with all my questions (and trust me, there were a lot!) if you are looking for a lawyer who truly has a heart and cares about your case Patrick is the way to go. I will absolutely refer anyone I know who needs legal advise to Patrick and the PLG Law Group.

Darlene · employment law ·
Patrick handled a disability discrimination law suit for me and he did the best job ever. He was always there to answer any questions I had. He even met me and took me to court so I did not have to drive so far. If I ever needed an attorney for any reason I would choose Patrick. He and his firm d id an excellent job of representing me.
