Hones Law - Seattle, WA

Standing Up for Washington Workers

Exclusive Focus on Employment Rights

Hones Law PLLC is a dedicated employment law firm in Seattle with a singular mission: to protect the rights of workers. Founded by managing attorney Ed Hones, the firm focuses exclusively on representing employees, never employers. This clear dedication ensures that there is never a conflict of interest; their loyalty lies 100% with the individual fighting for fair treatment. Ed Hones brings a unique perspective to his practice, having previously worked for judges in King and Snohomish counties. This behind-the-scenes experience gave him deep insight into how judges think and what makes a case successful in Washington courts. He now uses that insider knowledge to craft winning strategies for his clients.

The firm understands that losing a job or facing harassment is a deeply personal and financially terrifying experience. They strive to make high-quality legal representation accessible to everyone, often working on a contingency fee basis. This means that for many cases, clients do not pay any attorney fees unless Hones Law wins money for them. This model levels the playing field, allowing an administrative assistant or a warehouse worker to take on a massive corporation with confidence. If you are looking to order a lawyer who is a fearless trial advocate and a compassionate counselor, Hones Law is the champion you need in Pioneer Square.
