Arin is what you look for in a lawyer. Someone who understands the legal risks but also knows how to propose a path forward for both parties. Arin helped me with a complex multinational employment agreement in the tech field. He was responsive, thorough, and took the time to explain the the legal reality.

I was driving for LYFT and after a minor fender bender (6 months past), I was surprised to get a court summons to pay the other guys insurance company the repair bill (about $5000). I thought LYFT had taken care of it but for whatever reason, they let it slip by without settling the problem. I started calling lawyers but w/o a personal injury component most would not even discuss it. Several referred me to Chris Rounds but I was a bit worried about how much it would cost! After a free consultation, I felt much better about the initial $1500 retainer. Chris quickly made some phone calls and wrote a letter and presto, Lyft settled the issue and I got a refund of almost $1000. I would highly recommend Chris as an ethical lawyer that explains your options very well.

When it comes to brain injury law, it's hard to imagine a more capable and calming attorney than Scott Blair. His clients know this and, more importantly, so do the insurance companies that he takes to court - as it's one thing for personal injury lawyers to say they can handle a brain injury case and quite another to show they've actually defended hundreds of them with successful verdicts and settlements. My family and I felt increasingly fortunate to have Scott and his team leading my recent case to a successful outcome and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Brain Injury Law of Seattle to anyone in need of specialized counsel.

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

I would highly recommend John D. Webber and his exceptional legal representation from Graham Lundberg Peschel. It was very reassuring to have Mr. Webber, a partner at Graham Lundberg Peschel, attend my mediation hearing involving a slip and fall case against a major grocery store chain. I had both neck and back injuries resulting from the fall, along with having suffered a hernia that needed to be surgically repaired. I was fortunate that Mr. John Webber was willing to partner and oversee the case. He, along with his associate, were able to successfully settle my case thru mediation, exceeding my expectations.

When realizing that benefits you earned are not automatically given to you because of the complications within government systems, it was natural to seek a law firm with solid, PROVEN expertise in Social Security cases. I consulted with 3 firms prior to choosing who would represent me. The Gustad LawGroup is EXACTLY who they say they are. I interviewed one of their staff members in making the final decision for my case. Angela is the employee every law firm practicing social security issues should have on staff. She is experienced from the inside, compassionate, and a great communicator. She let me know what was expected from me as a client and that made my role easy. When it came time to actually be represented at a hearing, JP Gustad personally took on my case. Even though my case was not large, he treated me with the utmost care as he walked me through the process of the hearing and how to approach it. He was knowledgeable of my case, reassuring, and confident. Those are best client practices, to me. Thank you for EVERYTHING you did for me these last few years to see me through successful resolution of an unfortunate situation. Don't hesitate, contact the Gustad Law Group!

We highly recommend John Paul Gustad. He is very knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. His staff are both courteous and helpful. After two failed attempts on our own to handle the administrative law judge hearing for our daughter’s SSDI case, we were about to give up. We then found another attorney who highly recommended John Paul Gustad. John Paul was able to see from the facts of our case that our daughter deserved to be awarded the benefits. Once he took the case on, he was able to organize the facts of the case and present them successfully. The result was a favorable decision and our daughter was awarded her benefits. We are so grateful for John Paul Gustad’s efforts and expertise in handling the case. Thank you John Paul Gustad!

No narcissist, abuser, bully, intimidator, gas lighter, manipulator, or exploiter are too big for Kirk Davis! My case was complicated and multi-faceted. I had difficulty finding an attorney to take my case. I am eternally grateful Kirk Davis accepted the challenge. I assumed I would lose most of my award to all the medical fees I incurred. Kirk even negotiated those that I was not expecting! I highly recommend Kirk Davis as an attorney and a human. Thank you, Kirk. The legal world is a much better place with you in it.

I was injured when I was rear ended by another car. I sustained a concussion and neck trauma. Because of the concussion, I was not mentally functioning very well. GLP Attorney's was recommended by both my doctor and massage therapist. They could see that I was not functioning well. The other person's insurance company was pressuring me to fill out forms and sign them. I couldn't even think clearly to make simple decisions. So, I and my husband met with Cydney to discuss what was happening. Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine what I would have done without her help and support. I ended up getting treatment and help all the way through this ordeal. Because of Cydney's help and support, I did not have to deal with the other insurance company. She handled everything so that I could just concentrate on getting well. In the end my doctor bills and therapy bills were paid in full and I received a small settlement for all of the difficulties I went through to get well. I can't tell you how much it means to have had the support from this wonderful lady (Cydney Campbell Webster) and the (GLP Attorney's) team she works with.

She's extremely thorough in her work and knowledgeable in her field - I loved that I could trust her to 'fight' on my behalf and felt confident that my cases were in good hands with her. I would highly recommend Cydney to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. Did I say she was amazing? :) Thanks Cydney!

Paul was the only lawyer who was willing to take my case for something I could actually afford, and put in more work than I could possibly have asked of any lawyer at any price. He is honest, humble, funny, as well as well-versed and tireless in his pursuit of justice. No one wants to need these services, but if you find yourself in need of these services you want a human who knows the law from both a prosecution and defense perspective, is well versed in the law and systemic issue, and genuinely cares about his clients. That’s Paul.

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.

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.

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!

I was in a really bad hit and run car accident June 6, 2023. I took my time to review plenty of attorneys before I found Boohoff Law. The reviews I read about them were unbelievailable. So I decided to call them. The very next day Michelle Pieller reached out to me and started working for me right away. Within days they found all my medical services & facilities I needed right away. Not only they found them right away but everyone of them were within 5 miles or less away from where I lived. As a matter of fact my very 1st service was within walking distance but of course I drove because of the car accident I was just involved in. Then they even went a step further and made sure not only were they close but all the facilities provided top notch service. They continued to stay in touch with me throughout this whole terrible process to make sure I was alright. Anytime I called or needed them their response was always right away and made sure all my needs and concerns were not only answered but met as well. Their service was so "GREAT" it felt like they were family. If you want and need the best of the best attorney I would highly recommend "BOOHOFF LAW". If I could give them a 100 star review I would but Qthe rating chart only goes to a 5 star. You can not and will not go wrong with choosing Boohoff Law. I guarantee it. Boohoo Law is the best of the best when it come car injury attorneys. Thanks for everything Boohoff Law. "YOU'RE THE BEST" 😃😃😃

Jocelyn and Linsey were the key players in helping complete my case when I was rear-ended. I was recommended them through word of mouth and I would definitely recommend them to others as well - the process was kept clear and they communicated the process very well with me. Knowing nothing about law or the lawsuit process, I’m glad I reached out to them as they were able to work with me to get me the help I needed (Physical therapy, MRI scans, etc.) to get me back healthy like before the accident occurred and maximized the return we were able to get out of the case. Super grateful!

I was represented by John Forsythe from Campbell/Barnett Law Offices in Puyallup, Washington. I had been involved in a car accident in which I suffered some injuries from a non-insured motorist. I was recommended to John Forsythe as an Injury Related Attorney to representing me in a loss suit because of the injuries I sustained from my accident. Mr. Forsythe did an exceptional job in representing my case to the fullest extent. He not only took care of all correspondence between the different medical coverages but also brought such ease to my own life in reassuring me of the outcome of my case. He was very forthright in all he did for representing me. All aspects of my case were covered from the injuries to car repairs, and everything else that involved my confidence in him as my representative from this law office. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs assistance in following up after being involved in an accident and receiving bodily injuries. He has many gifts and talents but especially the gift of caring for his client. I felt very taken care of by him with his expertise. Thank you, Mr. Forsythe, for your thoroughness in every aspect of my case and your expertise in this area of law. You did an exceptional job of representing me and I so appreciate your kindness throughout my total case. Sincerely, Rita

Walking into Rodi’s office for the first time, I was nervous. I was staring down what was certain to be a long, nasty, complex divorce and I needed to make sure I had the best representation possible. But, I also had to know I could trust and relate to whoever might provide that. Rodi commanded the room with her presence, nevertheless, she immediately put me at ease. Within no time at all I could tell she understood where I was coming from, what my children and I were going through, and how my ex figured into these things. She got up to speed on my particularly complicated/unique situation extremely quickly, and I knew at once I had an ally. And a determined, smart, experienced, relentless, caring one at that. I knew she had my back from day one. And she never once faltered. Through the countless, pointless and malicious deviations, distractions, and motions my ex threw up to complicate things; the endless diatribe of slander and lies, the messy and ugly, Rodi was my rock. She – and her equally amazing and dedicated paralegal – gave me confidence, kept me informed, and put everything into perspective. She has a vast history with and inside knowledge of the courts and judges and she possesses a fierce, but steady, demeanor. She doesn’t let emotion get in the way as she works tirelessly to create a fair, appropriate, and welcome outcome. When my ex failed to even try to make mediation a success, we faced at court time—something both she and I had hoped to avoid. Mediation is always Rodi’s preferred outcome; that said, the court is truly where she shines. My own court experience turned into a three-day circus of sorts, thanks to my ex’s antics, vitriol, and curious representation. Rodi was at the top of her game fielding all the balls he kept trying to throw at us; she had hold of every thread and met each of his efforts with her legal expertise to ensure they fell short. Above all else, though, Rodi held my children at the heart of the everything and truly served as their advocate. There is no doubt that my kids were her highest, sacred priority. In the end, the outcome was best it could possibly be, given my situation. There is also no doubt that if it weren’t for Rodi O’Loane I don’t think I would have made it through all of this. She made me stronger and kept my family safe and protected. I would recommend her to anybody.

Let me start off by saying, the ONLY reason I got an attorney, was because my chiropractor’s office required an attorney for motor vehicle accident claims. At my first consult with Peter, I seemed very confident it was going to be helpful to have him and his team on my side. Boy was I wrong.. I literally did everything the entire process. I was told having a lawyer would make things easier and I wouldn’t have to do much work- WRONG. I had to hassle USAA MYSELF to get them to redo my car valuation THREE TIMES because they kept messing it up. Peter assured me he would be able to help get my car back quickly, but my car sat at a shop and then got towed to a junk yard without my knowledge or consent, so Peter’s team thought it was a total loss and told me to tell them everything I had in my car so we could get reimbursed for it all. I literally just wanted my car to be fixed and be back to me. Peter said this would be the easier part, wouldn’t take long at all to handle, and the medical stuff would take the longest- which it did. But getting my car back took about 5 months. I was without a vehicle for 5 months. I was in contact with one paralegal on Peter’s team who didn’t seem interested in helping me, and then he dropped off the face of the earth and I was working with another one, but then I believe even a third paralegal ended up taking over without anyone telling me anyone was switching. I’ve been confused and frustrated basically this entire process. I kept getting told I’d hear back from his group, and then I wouldn’t hear from them for weeks, even months, I’d have to email multiple times to get an actual response from anyone to answer any of my questions. It’s been a battle. I feel like I’ve battled the insurance company as well as his attorneys office- I’ve put in so much time and effort, all that was promised I wouldn’t have to put in, but I did. If you don’t hear anything from the insurance company, communicate that to your clients!!! Don’t just leave them on read and ghost them!! Unacceptable! And if you switch paralegals on someone, let them know! I was so confused getting emails from names I didn’t recognize and having them act like we’ve spoken before, but never once got introduced to any new person on my case. This whole process has been a shitshow in my opinion and next time I get in a wreck, I’m not getting an attorney- clearly I can do everything they do, but get it done in a more timely manner, I proved that this entire process. And when I brought this up to Peter towards the end of working with them, he told me “sorry for your inconvenience” but not once did he say they’d do anything to make it better or an easier process. Once I got my check sent for someone else outside his team, I’ve never heard from him again, not even to say thank you for being a client and getting him and his business money from my insurance claim.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.

If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:

  • Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
  • Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
  • Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
  • Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
  • Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
  • Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.

Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
  • Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
  • Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
  • Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.

Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer

Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What types of damages can I recover?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
  • Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
  • Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
  • Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
  • Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
  • Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
