What we handle
Practice areas
We handle injury cases only: crashes on the road, on foot or on a bike, and injuries at work. Choose one to see how we help and what to gather.
Rear-end collisions, intersections, and crashes on I-5 and SR 16. We work with your PIP coverage and the other driver's insurer.
Semis, delivery vans and work vehicles. These claims often involve the company and its insurer as well as the driver.
Hit while walking or riding: in a crosswalk, a bike lane, a parking lot or on a trail crossing.
In Washington, an injury at work goes through L&I. When someone other than your employer caused it, there may also be a third-party claim.
Fees
How our fees work
Most injury cases are on a contingency fee. You don't get an hourly bill.
The fee is an agreed share of any money recovered for you, by settlement or at trial. The percentage is set in a written agreement, and we go through it with you before any work starts.
Case costs are separate from the fee: medical records, filing fees, expert reports. We usually pay them as the case goes, and they're repaid from any recovery. The agreement spells out how costs are handled, including what happens to them if nothing is recovered.

Questions about fees and costs
What percentage do you charge?
It depends on the case, and we tell you the exact figure before you sign. It's written into the fee agreement, along with how costs are handled.
What counts as a case cost?
Money spent to move the case along: copies of medical records, filing and service fees, deposition transcripts, expert reports. Costs are listed on their own, apart from the fee.
Do I pay anything up front?
Usually not. We generally advance case costs and they're repaid from any recovery. Your agreement says exactly how this works for your case.
How do my medical bills get paid?
Often through your PIP coverage or health insurance first. When a case resolves, providers and insurers who paid may need to be repaid. We sort that out and show you the numbers in writing.
Not sure which of these fits?
