Rory and Jacob spent their careers in legal aid. They created this law firm because they saw an unmet need. Many people have struggled with unemployment insurance benefits, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. WEBA is the only private practice law firm in Washington State that focuses exclusively on unemployment insurance benefits.
Before creating this firm, Rory served as an Administrative Law Judge hearing unemployment insurance claims. He presided over more than 800 cases and he saw how many people struggled to understand how and when they were eligible for benefits or what arguments they could make to strengthen their case.
WEBA's goal is to help demystify unemployment insurance benefits process and to take on the Employment Security Department when claimants are wrongly denied benefits or required to pay back benefits they rightfully received.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
