Reed Longyear Malnati Corwin Burnett

What Reed Longyear Malnati Corwin Burnett does

Reed Longyear Malnati Corwin Burnett — formally Reed Longyear Corwin Burnett & Calogero, PLLC — is a Seattle-based general-practice law firm founded in 1955 (operating for 70+ years), structured as a Washington State Professional Limited Liability Company owned by its equity partners. The firm fields 19 listed attorneys plus support staff and interns across 17 practice areas, with concentrations in estate planning and trust administration, probate, family law (including mediation), civil and probate litigation, real estate transactions, elder law, guardianship, employment law, business law, and personal injury/wrongful death. Service delivery is direct attorney-client engagement via in-person and Zoom consultations, supported by content marketing (blog, webinars) and bar-association involvement.

The firm's revenue model is traditional professional services: hourly billing at undisclosed but "reasonable" rates, with likely contingency arrangements in litigation and fixed fees on routine matters, billed monthly. There is no proprietary technology platform, no published API, no app, and no documented integrations — the operating model is conventional for a mid-market Pacific Northwest law firm, leveraging the trade-name reputation of the long-tenured firm and individual attorney credentials (Super Lawyers, AV Preeminent) to attract clients.

Customer segments are dual: individual/family clients needing estate planning, family law, probate, elder law, or personal injury representation, and SMB/business clients needing business formation, real estate, employment, commercial transactions, or litigation services. Named reference clients span property management, construction, real estate, food and beverage, and general business (e.g., Targa Property Management, Riehl Construction, Cederstrand Properties, Fonte Coffee, JD Ott Co.), implying a long-tail, diversified book rather than enterprise concentration. The firm operates from a single Seattle office (801 Second Avenue, Suite 1415) and serves clients across King County and Washington State.
