Jordan, Rosé and the entire team were AMAZING from day one! I can not say Thank You enough. From the moment Rose answered my call in May 2018 to when we settled in the Fall of 2022 they treated us like family and made my daughter and I feel as though we could always trust them. We had gotten in a head on car accident in Vancouver, WA that I was not at fault. I was driving and my 13 yo daughter was in the passenger seat. The other vehicle that was driving the wrong way in our lane towards us hit us head on at 35-40 mph. Once we decided to hire Jordan and his team they always followed through with everything they said and kept all promises made. THANK YOU JORDAN!!!!

It was great working with Ms. Amy Jones.
I explained about my accident and injury at first in my primitive English, she was very sympathetic and really feeling for me. I just left all to her, didn’t have to do anything. She explained very well at each step of how my case was taken care of and proceeded.I can see she is very trustful and detail oriented.
This is the second time I hired a lawyer for a car accident. She worked very hard for my settlement and the result was outstanding and I could not believe what I heard. I am very lucky that I was introduced to her by my chiropractitioner. I felt finally released from anxiety for future and resentment that I got from the accident.
Thank you so much, Amy and Herman Law Group! I definitely recommend them as the prestigious law firm in WA since 1950

Attorney Terry Church was excellent in his managing of our auto accident claim. When one is injured in an accident it can be overwhelming to deal with all the treatment that is needed to recover and also deal with the insurance companies. Terry's expertise made the process so much more manageable, and it was a relief to know that we had the best attorney helping us. Terry and his staff make sure his clients are well taken care of in all regards, and you truly feel supported. He has years of experience, and it showed when dealing with the insurance company and settlement. I have only the highest praise for this law firm.

Title: Exceptional Legal Support
I'm incredibly grateful for the amazing help I received from my attorney, Bryan Johnson, after my accidents. He and the office of Church, Rietzke, Johnson PLLC, were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring every step of the way.
Bryan Johnson and the legal team handled my case with precision and dedication, making sure every detail was taken care of. He took the time to listen to my concerns, provided clear and concise explanations of the legal process, and consistently kept me informed and reassured throughout the entire journey.
His negotiation skills with the insurance companies were impressive, and secured an outcome that exceeded my expectations. The kindness and support I received during this difficult time was invaluable to me.
One of the most commendable aspects of working with Bryan was his unwavering commitment to my well-being. He not only served as a trusted legal advisor but also as a source of support and encouragement.
I highly recommend Bryan Johnson and his exceptional legal expertise and compassion. Thank you for everything!
Sincerely,
Brenda Chrisman

I highly recommend this firm for anyone that is looking for a personal experience and not feeling like you're just a client and money to them. Before we found this firm my wife was about to give up on herself, but Wells Trumbull was able to get us to the best doctors around and truly get down to the root causes of my wife's injuries. Now because of them she is on the road to recovery, the amazing settlement that they got us is on top of that but most of all they put her health and getting her to recovery before any of that. This firm is a group of people who are true fighters and they don't want to settle like the big firms and the people that you see on TV. We got quadruple the amount of money compared to the other firms quick settlements that they promised. They are extremely knowledgeable and it really shows, they guide you through the whole process and explain everything in detail. I highly recommend them to anyone.

John Christensen represented me, in a case I almost didn't file because I doubted an outcome in my favor. Unlike other attorneys I've worked with, John was genuinely empathetic & compassionate, extremely communicative & accessible throughout, and professional without being stuffy. I was pleasantly surprised that he got my case resolved so quickly, with an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Office staff are very pleasant & happy to assist at all times. I highly recommend John & his practice, to my family & friends!

I sought representation in large part because I had been wronged by a group of men in positions of authority who abused that authority. It was a difficult time and definitely colored my opinion of men at the time. Fortunately, James Kytle was part of my legal team. It goes without saying that he is an exemplary attorney with tremendous talent in his field, but more than that, he is one the kindest, most decent men I have ever met. He is one of the good guys determined to use his legal experience to attain justice for his clients. He definitely wanted the best for me. He ensured that I understood my options and allowed me time to weigh those options. His concern for me and my case was genuine and very much appreciated. My respect for him is immeasurable. Thanks to James and his amazing team, we prevailed. I highly recommend him.

I was going through a tough time in my life when everything looked like a lost cause. Then, my family found Defense Attorney: Chris Black. At our first meeting, Mr. Black gave me hope. With him on our side, we felt assured that our case would be handled swiftly and smoothly.
He kept us updated and was always available to answer our calls and emails promptly. Mr. Black went above and beyond—efficient, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend Chris Black’s legal services to anyone in need.
As a unique case, I have truly never met a lawyer like Mr. Black. He keeps it real and is a genuine advocate for his clients.
Thank you, Chris, for your solid support and for being such a positive force during that difficult time.

These folks are just great! I urgently needed to understand my rights. A lawyer friend recommended Macdonald Hoague & Bayless, and I will always call them first. Jesse Wing, Adarsh N. Parthasarathy, and their team were warm, empathetic, generous, friendly, efficient, and extremely competent. I honestly couldn't have asked for better legal advice and support! Working with them solved my issues and empowered me with strategies to advocate for myself! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for legal representation.

I wrote to Lorna at the end of my 2.5-year custody battle - "Words are inadequate to express my gratefulness", and it's true. Lorna has been on my side for that long, not only as my counsel, but to me, also a friend, and a mentor.
I remember talking to a dozen attorneys who all turned down my case because of its complexity - a divorce that invovled domestic violence, dependency, immigration, and relocation - yet Lorna was the only attorney that took genuine interest in my case, and she did not even charge me for our first 2-hour consultation. She actually read through over 3000 pages of my dependency case. She always responds promptly, sometimes even after office hours, she is thorough and detailed, insightful and empathic. She remained a delightful spirit despite my ex's constant threats, harassment, and accusation directed at her.
Even though I could not continue to afford her representation toward the end of my case, and chose to represent myself in a 3-day trial, she guided me through every step to make sure I was prepared and capable. And I won, even with some extra icing on the cake I did not expect. The judge said he has not seen anyone go pro-se without an attorney and could carry out the whole trial like I did in his 14 years of experience, but I credited Lorna for her guidance. I couldn't have done it without her. She encouraged me and believed in me even when I doubted myself - unlike those lawyers on Avvo who always tell you that you are screwed if you're going to trial alone. Talking to her always made me feel better. She went above and beyond for me from beginning to end like no others, and for that I'm forever grateful for everything she has done for me.
Thank you Lorna <3.

I was in a really tough spot when Steve arrived in my life, not only was I in legal trouble but I was also having problems at home with the family. Obviously with so much hanging over my head, work was no breeze either. Steve was able to satisfy all of my legal needs in a very thorough and expediant manner all the while keeping me informed. In return I was able to concentrate on home life and work, and within a very short time my life was back to normal. Thanks Steve and to everyone that is considering using his services, be confident you will get the best help out there!!!!!

“Jeff is truly one of the best attorneys out there! I was dealing with a stressful situation where a travel agent failed to issue my tickets after I had already paid. Time was running out, and I thought the whole trip would fall apart. Jeff stepped in with incredible professionalism and skill. He quickly assessed the situation, communicated effectively with the travel agent, and took all the necessary steps to ensure I got my tickets on time. His attention to detail, persistence, and calm demeanor throughout the process were outstanding. Thanks to Jeff, the issue was fully resolved, and my trip went ahead as planned. I couldn’t be more grateful for his help. If you need someone who truly fights for you, Jeff is the attorney to call!”

Jeff’s expertise and thoughtful approach reassured us throughout the process, and his leadership truly stood out. A special shoutout to Jananson, whose meticulous hard work and perfectly crafted demand letter played a crucial role in overturning our insurance denial.
Their dedication and attention to detail made all the difference, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their efforts. If you’re looking for a team that delivers results with compassion and excellence, look no further than Jeff’s team. Highly recommended!

Autumn worked incredibly hard on my behalf in a complicated child support case five years after my divorce, following a move to Washington from another state. At every point, Autumn provided compassionate but direct counsel, and tried to save me time and money by offering fair solutions to opposing counsel. When these were rejected, she was in absolute lockstep with me preparing for court. I was a very involved client but know nothing about the law, and Autumn both trusted me to work on certain aspects of the case but provided the direction and honest advice that was needed at every point. In court, Autumn was calm, confident, prepared, and steady. The respect that judges have for this kind of ethical and grounded approach is reassuring as a client. Not every lawyer shares these qualities. I had this kind of relationship with my previous lawyer in another state, but when I first moved to Washington I had a horrible experience with a different lawyer for whom I had to file a complaint with the Washington State Bar. With that lawyer I never knew what was going on, and he proceeded with the case in ways that I had explicitly said I was not comfortable with. I honestly don't know what would have happened if I hadn't found Autumn. She was different in every way. She was extremely responsive, paid attention to every detail, did not make outlandish promises, but instead gave practical counsel and followed through 100%. She did not stir up any drama (although there was plenty of opportunity in our case) but as opposing counsel escalated and played hardball, Autumn responded firmly. I felt we were being fair, but not being pushed around. The outcome in court, which is never guaranteed, was almost exactly what we had repeatedly offered opposing counsel- plus lawyer's fees from the other side. If you are looking for lawyer who is capable, works well with other lawyers, is experienced going to court but wise enough to try to keep you out of it if possible, and who will provide you honest and money-saving advice, I cannot recommend Autumn highly enough. I felt increasingly desperate and confused before switching to Autumn, and now everything is resolved and I have my life back again- it is a unique gift that a good lawyer can provide, and I am grateful.

In the summer of 2019, I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle. Fortunately, I do not remember the accident. The EMT’s put me into an induced coma at the scene of the accident and after a few days in the hospital I was brought out of the coma.
After waking up, all I wanted to do was to get out of the hospital and back to work in a business I had just started. I felt that the aches and pains were just a distraction from the dedication I needed to make the business successful. My punctured lung, broken ribs, broken other bones, smashed in face, missing teeth, my body numb from the hips down, and a severe head injury with a hematoma could just be ignored. Maybe I was not thinking straight!
My wife suggested that we should sit down with an attorney regarding the accident, and I reluctantly took a meeting with Paula McCandliss from Brett Law. I wasn’t keen on lawyers, and I did not put much effort into the meeting. My thoughts were that I’d quickly get over my bumps and bruises and Paula would be wasting her time with my case. Well, I was not thinking straight, and thank goodness for Paula putting up with my callousness.
The physicians and hospital staff did a respectable job putting me back together, but it’s hard for them to determine the extent of the injuries, and of course the medical profession cannot get you back to 100%. After my discharge It took time for me and my primary physician et. al. to determine my ongoing care and what medical problems would be permanent.
Let me say this- I was fortunate to have met Paula and her team at Brett Law. They were always personal, professional, and caring, and not to mention they worked tirelessly on my case. It was ‘my bad’ to assume that they were just a firm chasing an ambulance. To my ignorance, I didn’t perceive the onslaught of hospital and specialty physician invoices, the art of dealing with medical and auto insurance companies along with collection agencies on invoices that were never presented to me. Paula helped us get through all these unforeseen hurdles with kindness, legal insight, and experience. She is a great coach to lead you through the myriad of difficulties you may face after a painful accident, and I highly recommend her. You will appreciate both her legal skill and warm personality.

Thinking I had nothing to claim a friend referred me to Adler Giersch, specifically to Melissa Carter. After her intake coordinator spoke with me, she told me Melissa would be calling me to discuss further. Melissa talked to me at length about my case and made recommendations - telling me she would assist me step by step in dealing with the party at fault's insurance company. It was a process but the result was amazing! I could not believe it! I highly recommend Alder Giersch and Melissa Carter. They were professional and caring and I appreciated them greatly...any accident is profound in dealing with all the mess associated with it' and their process was invaluable! Thank you! GR/Bellevue

Adam Engst exceeded every expectation related to my injury claim. When negotiations stagnated, Adam set up a Zoom meeting with the adjuster. After the virtual meeting at the BMBC law office, the insurance company DOUBLED their offer! I am happy to recommend Adam without qualification. He is conscientious, communicates reliably, and will fight to get you the best settlement possible. Five out of five stars!

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
