I cannot recommend Joel highly enough. I came to him with an extremely complex and time sensitive employment law situation. The situation required deep knowledge of Washington state labor law, specifically around non-compete enforceability. From the moment I engaged him, Joel was sharp, strategic, and responsive. He understood the nuances of my situation immediately, identified the strongest legal arguments quickly, and executed with precision under significant time pressure. His letter on my behalf was professional, well reasoned, and cited exactly the right case law and statutes that made the other party take the situation seriously. What impressed me most was his ability to balance the legal strategy with the practical realities of my situation. He knew when to push and when to hold back, and his judgment throughout was excellent. Because of Joel's work I was able to accept a significant career opportunity that I potentially would have otherwise lost. The outcome made a significant difference for me and my family. If you are dealing with a non-compete, employment dispute, or any Washington state labor law matter, Joel Nichols at Deno Millikan is the person you want in your corner. He is the real deal.

TL/DR: I highly recommend this firm. Friendly, knowledgable, professional. It’s like working with friends that know what they’re doing. I was represented by Patrick. He and the staff here were the whole package. Professional, knowledgeable, timely, courteous, kind, and responsive are just some of the long list of things I could say about them. Patrick knew his stuff, and worked to settle things out of the courtroom, but did not hesitate to take that trip when it was necessary. He also took care of the whole person, taking time to make sure we had outlets for mental health on top of the legal business, as well as keeping the whole thing focused on the family aspect, rather than the conflict. The staff were amazing. They were always welcoming, very helpful, and easy to work with. Whenever I had questions about scheduling, billing, or otherwise, I had a satisfying answer right away. Patrick’s team of paralegals were nothing short of fantastic. They kept things running smooth during the most chaotic and trying times of my case. They kept things organized when I was almost completely lost in details, and again, the kindness, courtesy, knowledge, and professionalism were second to none. I would highly recommend this firm.

I am incredibly grateful to Joel Nichols for his outstanding legal representation. After six months of constant stress and back-and-forth in a very delicate lawsuit against my employer, I was finally able to achieve justice through a fair settlement. This outcome would not have been possible without him. Joel Nichols consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and ethics. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and strategic, while always being honest and transparent about the process. What truly set him apart was his empathy and understanding. He genuinely recognized how stressful this situation was for me and approached my case with patience, compassion, and respect. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines legal expertise with integrity and genuine care for their clients, I highly recommend Joel Nichols.

Highly Recommend Deno Millikan Law Firm, PLLC. They gave my child and me a future we can count on. I especially want to thank Patrick Songy and the entire team at Deno Millikan Law Firm, PLLC for the exceptional care, skill, and compassion they showed throughout my child-custody case. From the very first consultation, they listened without judgment, explained every step in plain language, and built a strategy that put my child’s best interest first. They were always available (texts answered on weekends, late-night calls returned promptly) and made me feel like I wasn’t facing this alone. If you’re looking for a custody lawyer who will fight hard for you and still treat you like family, look no further, Deno Millikan Law Firm, PLLC is your best choice.

Emma Hill assisted us with guardianship of our brother. The legal terms and court deadlines were a challenge for me to comprehend (why can't they use plain English?) and Emma was there to patiently, calmly and knowledgeably walk us through the process. We definitely will use Emma and the Law firm for any future legal needs we may have!

Patrick Songy and Denecia are the best! I had a complicated estate to be taken care of and they did a great job! It took 26 months to complete and they guided me every step of the way. Patrick keep me posted at all times. I would recommend them to anyone needing legal help!

This is the second time I've worked with Joel Nichols. Once when my mother passed away and this time, a workplace matter. Joel is knowledgeable and professional. He really listens when you talk. One thing that I appreciate is that you get a breakdown of exactly how your money is spent. Not every law firm does that. And referencing a previous comment, they are NOT the most expensive in the area. I spent more with another lawyer and had to switch to Deno-Milliken.

I needed legal counsel for a time-sensitive personal matter. Laura Unterseher was quick to take the lead and get the situation under control. I recommend Laura and the team at DM.

Lawyers Alexandra VanBelle and Patrick Songy of Deno Millikan took on our family law case after getting no call backs from several other firms. It was my first time having to hire a lawyer and they talked me through everything and did a fantastic job navigating the newer and less common defacto parenting law. They were always available to answer questions and guide us through the difficult process. Thank you Alex and Patrick for helping us get the legal parenting rights for our grandchildren!
