Budigan Law Firm Profile & Reviews

William Budigan sounded professional and knowledgeable on the phone, but as we got to working on my family law case, he proved to not really care, and got me nowhere. I had to let him go, a lot of time (and some money) spent with no result.

One of the best internship opportunity I’ve ever had. I met Bill at a career fair at the University of Washington during my senior year and wanted to familiarize myself with the legal field by working for him. As an international student, it was such a great opportunity to intern for Bill during my CPT before I graduated in 2019. Then interned for him again under OPT. So for international students or those who are looking to get a first hand experience at law, this is the place to go to. The day to day task that you will be given by Bill will very dynamic, meaning that you will always be assigned various task but not limited to; talking to current clients/potential clients, doing research for specific cases in order to help Bill prepare for his court cases, and digitizing notes that will either become billable times for his various clients or notes in helping Bill with his cases. You won’t be out of things to do at the firm because there is always something to do. I was even able to go in for a deposition at a Colombia Tower for one of the client (pre-COVID) and also for another client’s deposition via tele-conference. So this was a really cool experience for me to have sit through two depositions while I was at the law firm. I got to work with really good co-workers too who are also UW students as well. We all helped each other in completing research task that Bill assigned to us. Bill is such a great guy in helping me get both CPT and OPT by letting him intern at his firm. Even during the Covid Pandemic, I was able to work for him from home. He is a very busy guy due to having many clients who came for his help and you yourself will get to work with these client while at the firm. I went into this internship with no legal background and in the end I would say I’ve gained so much knowledge in the legal field all thanks to working for Bill. I will never forget this internship experience as it was a stepping stone in my career for the legal field.

I worked as a paralegal intern at Budigan Law Firm for one quarter, so I saw day-to-day life at the office. It’s clear Bill cares a lot about his clients and gave them the best experience possible in what was likely a very difficult time of their lives.
