Skidmore & Fomina, PLLC

Just when I was losing faith in my fight, attorney Jared Troy called me in the nick of time, providing the utmost support and know-how that I can only describe as "legal moxie." Mr. Troy was also kind enough to explain his perspective as an advocate and fighter, and that instilled a ton of confidence. Jared proved that there are incredible attorneys out there who know the law, fight hard for people, and care deeply. it's that kind of passion that we as legal consumers need when we are in crisis.

Damien Villarreal helped me to send the initial emails that got the ball rolling on my wrongful termination case. He was prompt, straightforward, and reassuring with his instructions and follow up. Additionally he's extremely ethical no bullshit nickel and diming. Highly recommend Damien.

I had such a great experience working with Jared at Skidmore & Fomina. I was transitioning between jobs and needed some quick, proactive advice. He gave me really insightful and actionable guidance. He also saw me through the process from start to finish, and was super responsive during some time-sensitive decisions. I’m delighted to feel I now have a lawyer I trust in my corner.

Thoroughly answered/clarified all my questions. Appreciate your support and professionalism!

Damien was great. Answered my questions promptly

I would highly recommend Damien. He’s very knowledgeable and focused on providing exceptional service. There are many law firms that you can choose from but it’s important to work with lawyers that go over and beyond.

I am immensely grateful for Vera Fomina and her exceptional team. I hired Vera for a complex employment and labor law matter, and I could not be more satisfied with her incredible professionalism, the brilliant outcome, and the overall experience. From the start, Vera's expertise was evident. What truly set her apart was her dedication to clear and thorough communication. Every document, every step, and every motion was explained to me in great detail. She consistently offered several well-considered options for how to proceed, patiently walking me through the potential scenarios for each choice. I always felt fully informed and empowered to make decisions about my case, which was invaluable. Vera and her team were always professional, punctual, and a genuine pleasure to work with. Their sincere and supportive approach made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. If you're in Seattle and need an employment and labor attorney who is highly skilled, results-driven, and truly client-focused, I wholeheartedly recommend Vera Fomina. She and her team are simply the best, and I'm incredibly happy with the results they achieved for me!

I wholeheartedly recommend Damien Villarreal if you have need of a lawyer. He is articulate, enthusiastic and knows his law. He will work with extraordinary commitment to resolve your issues favorably.

Katie went above and beyond the call of duty. Invaluable counsel and delightful spirit.

Damien reached out to me yesterday for a free consult. He was so kind, respectful and understanding. He pointed me in the right direction for next steps. Sounds like a great firm that acts with integrity. Hope I never have to use them for anything serious, but if I do, they would be the team I would reach out to due to this experience. Thank you!

I’ve worked with several attorneys throughout my professional career, so I have a good idea of what sets a great lawyer apart from the rest. I felt that Greg and his team were the best choice for me and was absolutely proven right. Greg empowers his clients and their positions, which is especially important since he works with people who have been wronged and are seeking justice. He was open to feedback and had a willingness to adjust his approach in response to unique or complex circumstances. And where he disagreed, he always took the time to explain his positions and reasoning to ensure I felt informed and confident in the process. Working with him exceeded my expectations. Compared to other potential law firms and attorneys I felt like I received white-glove service.

Jared was generous with his time, offering me advice and options that were on-point and empowering. I was in a difficult employment situation, and needed fast answers. Jared spoke to me right away and I immediately felt like I wasn't in it alone anymore. I opted not to follow through with his advice because of the additional hardship it would have caused me (simply because of the situation, not the advice itself), but I am eternally grateful that he gave me options where previously I'd had no idea what to do. I am so thankful to Jared and the good turn he did me, and I enthusiastically recommend this firm to anyone in need of an employment attorney.

I recently consulted with Damien regarding a severance agreement I had already signed after being laid off by my employer. A section in the non-compete clause had been keeping me up at night—it made no sense, even after running it through numerous analyses. Damien returned my call quickly, and I was immediately impressed by his responsiveness and dedication. You can tell he works long, hard hours and is genuinely passionate about employee rights. He was generous with his time, actively listened to my concerns, and provided clear guidance to help me better understand the clause in question. Damien even pointed me toward additional resources to further unpack my concerns. What stood out the most was his thoughtful and reassuring approach—there was absolutely no "hard sell." I left our conversation feeling like he truly cares about his clients and the people seeking his advice. I highly recommend Damien for anyone needing clarity and support during such a stressful time.

I had a fantastic experience with Skidmore and Fomina Employment Law Firm in Seattle. Damien and Vera were truly exceptional in handling my case. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Their guidance and expertise made the entire process much less stressful. I felt supported every step of the way, and their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome was evident. I highly recommend Skidmore and Fomina for anyone seeking top-notch employment law services in Seattle. It would be an understatement to say I will never forget what these people did for me. From the bottom of my heart; thank you, Damien and Vera, for your outstanding work!
