About

I've been a construction lawyer in Seattle since 2004. This area of practice is all about figuring out the best way to work through disputes.  It boils down to using leverage -- in the right way, and at the right time.  And this part comes from knowing all the options. But my goal is to always provide the most practical range of options about what make sense going forward. And of course, what does not make sense.  The key is weeding through the "static," which is true in construction law and in life.  Contracts, liens and bonds (public and private) are at the heart of my practice.   My main goal is to be practical.  Running my own firm lets me be  flexible, and work towards the best solution possible.  It might sound trite but it is true: I think of each client as if he or she were a friend, sitting next to me at a lunch table or at a bar.

Not only is Seth one of the sharpest attorneys I've met, but he also has a sense of humor which you cannot find in most attorneys. He has helped me settle a case with a very favorable outcome, and I would definitely hire Seth again.

Without Seth Millstein, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Seth took on a complicated case and encountered issues that no one expected, and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly agents three law firms and multiple insurance companies to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I am proud to be a Seth Millstein client and will continue to retain him for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

I had leaks and water damage from improperly installed replacement windows. The company who did the bad work gave my wife and I 'the run-around' for years. I was getting nowhere trying to negotiate with them myself. I'm so glad I found and hired Seth. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the applicable laws. Seth rapidly put a stop to the BS the contractor had been telling me. He was able to negotiate a fair settlement. The whole process was relatively painless (for me), and went pretty much like he said it would at our initial consultation. Seth responded to my calls/emails quickly and kept me in the loop with the negotiations. He always took the time to educate me so I could make informed decisions. Beyond being a great lawyer, I give Seth high marks for how he handles the human/emotional side of things. I can't say enough good things about him and how he handled my case.
