Reviews

This is a five star review and public endorsement of how my personal accident case was transformed from total despair and frustration to a fully satisfactory settlement won by Personal Injury Attorney Bryan D. Johnson, a partner in the Church, Rietzke, Johnson law firm of Olympia, WA. On December 8, 2017, another driver totaled my 2013 CTS Cadillac and severely injured my lower lumbar spine. The other driver’s auto insurance company had to be practically arm wrestled to pay me near the actual replacement value of my luxury car as well as arbitrarily cut me off prematurely from paying for my reasonable and prescribed medical treatments. Their unacceptable behavior forced me to search for the most highly qualified personal injury lawyer available, and fortunately I engaged Bryan Johnson to represent me and settle my case in my favor. The initial settlement offers from the insurance lawyers were less than my past accumulated medical expenses, so we ended up suing the other driver for all of the uncompensated medical-related expenses as well as my pain and suffering resulting from the accident. It took over a year to settle my case, but Bryan hung in there with me and we finally settled for an amount that we both considered a solid victory for both of us without the necessity of going through either arbitration or a civil trial. Bryan did an outstanding job for me and he can also pull together one for you if you need a truly professional personal injury lawyer to secure the results you deserve.

Terry and team are the best. There’s no one more experienced working with insurance companies. He knows it all and will do the best possible work under the law. He and team are also friendly and will go the extra mile.

Professional, responsive, attentive, personable. My experience was very satisfying.

I highly recommend Terry Church and his team at Church Rietzke Johnson. They helped me with my recent auto accident personal injury case. Terry & Joey made the process smooth and easy to understand, even during Covid. Hiring them put my mind at ease that my doctor bills would be covered without me fighting tooth and nail. I am also confident that I would never have been able to receive the settlement total that I was awarded if I had tried on my own. The whole group was kind, professional, and personable. Don’t hesitate to call Church Rietzke Johnson 🙂

Terry Church Review I was at a complete stop in my car, rear-ended and injured. My insurance company stopped paying my medical bills shortly after treatment started. I was far from healed at that point and knew I had to continue my medical care. I needed a good lawyer to represent me. I knew of Terry Church's ethics and integrity in fighting for his clients. Terry fought my own insurance company through an arbitration process and got all of my medical bills paid. But he didn't stop there. He then fought for recovery and won against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering so my medical treatments could continue as needed until my injuries stabilized. Because of his principles Terry goes the extra mile and does everything possible to resolve the claim in the best interest of his clients. It was a privilege to work with him and his paralegal Joey. This is a 5-star review for Terry's professionalism, experience and commitment, his unwavering skill communicating with the insurance companies, and negotiating a settlement and last but not least - his incredible staff. I highly recommend Terry and the Church Rietzke Johnson law firm.

I was in an accident and was attempting to resolve the matter myself, however quickly realized I would be better off enlisting the help of a professional. Because of my job, I tend to work with many personal injury firms and have seen how awful some can be to work with - so I knew from the start that I did not want to use 90% of the larger firms that you see advertised. After doing some research on different smaller offices (that could offer a personal touch and not make you feel like a cog in an assembly line), I decided to reach out to Church, Rietzke, and Johnson. From the time of my first meeting with Mr. Church, and until the final disposition of my case, all of the staff there have been pleasant, informative, professional, and most importantly responsive. I frequently worked with Joey and he was incredibly patient and helpful. They were able to settle my case for much more than I ever anticipated and I know I would not have had the same results if I had anyone else handle my case. I hope I never need the same services in the future, but if I do, this is where I will go.

Terry Church is extremely competent, experienced, knowledgeable, a great listener, has much wisdom, and advocates for his clients and their best interests. I highly recommend him as a personal injury attorney. He also has a superb team.

Church Rietzke Johnson helped me through my three year car accident battle. There were different things that happen especially through the epidemic, however the Church Rietzke Johnson group was available and worked through it all. There were a few times my case manager changed but Mr. Johnson always was available no matter what. He returned my call very timely and was always willing and able to take the time to answer my many questions and in the end we got a lot more in the settlement than I personally was expecting. They were all very friendly and understanding. Mr. Johnson explained everything so that someone who doesn't fully understand legal terms understood what was going on and gave suggestion and never was pushy. The Church Rietzke Johnson group is someone Id suggest to though going through any legal struggles. Reasoning for 4 starts is because I feel there is always room to grow and learn. I had a difficult time with my case manager changing but with everything going on it was understandable. I's give 4 and a half if I knew how to make the half star on this rating.

I was very pleased with Terry Church and his team! This is an amazing office, that care about their clients. I was rear ended and both of our vehicle's were totalled. Terry and his team were very patient with me and did not want to close the case unless I was at 100%. I would recommend my friends and family with Church Rietzke. Thank you again!

Being pregnant was supposed to be one of the best times of my life and It was, until the morning I was T-boned in an intersection on my way to work. 7.5 months pregnant and I was in a very bad car accident. I almost lost my daughter from the impact and as a result of the accident I was put on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I work in the medicine field and there was no possible way for me to safely return to work after my injuries. Being the breadwinner in my family, not working and being worried about my pregnancy put an enormous stress on me. I felt scared, helpless and I knew I needed help dealing with the aftermath of this accident. When I started looking for lawyers to help me with my case, I was surprised to find almost zero information about pregnant women who had been in an accident. So I decided to go with a local lawyer that was close to where I lived. Hiring Bryan was the best decision that I could have made. Bryan not only took on my case, but he gave a voice to it. There were a lot of variables with my case because of being pregnant that were not cut and dry. From day one of meeting Bryan I could tell that he cared about helping me. He believed in me and he believed in my case. The process was long and it was hard but Bryan was with me every step of the way. The at fault party’s insurance company did not want to settle and they played hardball up until the end. Bryan came up with very creative ways to build my case. He hired a certified midwife to interview me and give statements on my behalf, he worked outside of the box the entire time. He built a strong case for me and we took it all the way through the deposition process. He prepared me for my deposition and really worked with me to be comfortable speaking with the opposing attorney. After this step, we were able to negotiate a settlement. The entire process of this journey was a lot, but working with Bryan made it bearable. He was reliable and he always responded to any questions I had in a very timely manner. He reached out during the lulls in the case to touch base and assure me that things were still moving in the right direction. Bryan is a one of a kind lawyer, what he did for me, for my daughter and for the importance of pregnant women involved in automobile accidents will never be able to be repaid. I recommend Bryan to anyone who has been involved in an accident. He is truly an amazing lawyer and you will be thankful to have him on your side.

I was involved in a car accident that was not my fault as I was hit from behind. There was not a lot of damage to my car but my body took the impact. I had to have physical therapy for a long time, but it was worth it as I eventually was able to regain most of the mobility that I had lost. My attorney at Church Rietzke Johnson was extremely helpful. He listened to my complaints about what had happened to me and was able to arrange a very good settlement for my case. My lawyer was available, worked hard for me and I was very happy with the results.
