Kristen went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful to have had her represent me in my case. She was very patient and sympathetic with me throughout the entire process. I really felt a sense sincerity and compassion whenever we spoke and this made me feel much more comfortable moving f orward with the case. I am extremely impressed by Kristen’s work - she made time to go through and understand all aspects of the case with me. She then put together a packet detailing multiple evidentiary issues, which ultimately resulted in my case being completely dismissed. I would also like to thank Michael Rothwell, who worked with Kristen on my case as well. Michael was very kind, easy to talk to, and gave me a lot of guidance throughout this process. He was always quick to give me a call or text whenever he had new updates for me. I would definitely recommend Kristen’s law firm to anyone considering working with her. Their level of compassion and care meant so much to me during this difficult time and I am so grateful of their work on my case.

I can’t recommend Kristen enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to explain every step of the legal process in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I always knew what to expect. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made a stressful situation much more manageable. Not only did she make me feel comfortable and confident in my case, but her expertise also led to a positive outcome. If you need a criminal law attorney who truly cares and will fight for you, Kristen is the one to call!

Kristen was super helpful in walking me through the legal process and preparing me for the various hearings. She was always available for a chat and responded promptly to all communication. My case had the best possible resolution and most of that is due to the work and care Kristen had for me as a c lient. Highly recommend her!

My experience with Kristen from Obsidian Law was outstanding. Kristen provided excellent service and professionalism. The charges against me were explained clearly and what options were available. Kristen is a skilled negotiator who obtained favorable results. She really cares about her clients, from our first meeting I knew I had selected the right lawyer to handle my case. I would highly recommend Obsidian Law to handle your legal matters.

After consulting with half a dozen attorneys who were only interested in increasing their billable hours I canceled my initial consultation with Mark Blair thinking he was just more of the same. After getting a referral from another attorney who couldn't take my case(s) I rescheduled my appointment a nd it was the best decision I've made to date. Mark Blair is direct, honest and doesn't sugar coat the potential outcome of a case or the costs associated with representing you. I came to him with an impossible situation, two protection order cases, both neighbors; one a renewal and the other newly filed, with hearings within a week of each other. He had very little time and a very limited budget and so far he has delivered. Mr. Blair is professional, meticulous, and tenacious in the courtroom. He is a fierce advocate for his clients regardless of their circumstances and is well versed in the law. I wish that I had known about Mark and his law firm two years ago when all this started; if I had, I believe I wouldn't be in the situation I am in today. As impressive as Mr. Blair is, his staff of paralegals and interns are equally amazing. I have been extremely fortunate to have three young women working on my case(s) who are compassionate, intelligent, responsive, through and exceptional at their job(s). If you hire Mark, you get his excellent support staff as well, and a law firm that is a "complete package" as far as services are concerned. No matter what happens in the second case, Mr. Blair is the only attorney I will turn to again for legal counsel if I'm ever in need of representation in the future.

I was served a completely frivolous protection by my attorney neighbor. It was not only frivolous, but ridiculous. If you believed what he said, I am just a total psychopath. Well, I am not. I was also given another ridiculous mutual protection order, which I rejected. Mark Blair made mincemeat o f the attorney who attacked me! It only took a very few days of work and time in court for one day. I am not used to things going so quickly in court in my experience. He showed how the protection order did not meet the required standards. He dismissed illegally obtained information as irrelevant (so did the judge) and took him to the mat. My favorite words? Judge: We are ruling in favor of [Mr. C]. Yay! Now I am going for reimbursement. I hope it goes well, too. Here is why Mark is so good: Mark was prepared. He KNEW THE LAW. He was calm. (calmer than me). He was eloquent as required. He made it look so easy! Thank you so much, Mark, for helping me!

We hired Mark for my son’s misdemeanor criminal case after firing a different attorney who didn’t even attempt to do anything, assuming, like everyone else, that we’d take a plea deal. The Redmond court system felt more like a fast-food drive-thru than a place where justice is served. Disorganized, r ushed, and with little regard for actually reviewing the facts. Mark was the only one who seemed genuinely professional among all the lawyers and judges we dealt with. He carefully analyzed the evidence, confidently navigated the case, and ultimately got the charges against my son dismissed. Mark is the one you want on your side if you’re stuck in a system that feels broken. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Mark Blair listened to my story during one of the most turbulent times in my life. He guided me through a very difficult and complicated situation with empathy, clarity, and remarkable skill. Mark has an incredible ability to navigate the courts with confidence and precision, all while maintaining gr ace and poise. He took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I understood what was happening and felt supported throughout. Cynthia also stepped in and worked with me with the utmost professionalism and dedication. I was thoroughly impressed by the clear communication, responsiveness, and the exceptional results that came from their collaboration and teamwork. I would recommend Mark Blair and his team without hesitation. They bring a rare combination of expertise, compassion, and integrity to their work—and you can trust that you’ll receive the best legal representation possible.

Mark has assisted with me with two cases. From the beginning of each there were problems he was able to quickly assist resolving. (bailing out of jail and removing an arrest warrent). For each case he was able to layout out my options and he was able obtain the best possible outcome. The first was a plea to fines, probation and no jail time (was facing 10+ years). The second was dismissed. Marks knowledge of the law and court system was key in getting the results I needed. Mark and his staff kept me updated and had great communication during both cases.
