A Northwest Law Firm
Our Core Values:
“Our clients are the most important people in our law firm; they are not dependent on us. We are dependent on them. They are not an interruption in our work. They are the purpose of it. They are not outsiders in our business. They are part of it. We are not doing them a favor by serving them. They are doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.” -James Banks
What differentiates us from other firms is our our EXCLUSIVE focus on auto accident injury cases. This empowers us to provide a clear understanding around what to expect, we listen to understand so we can overcommunicate with our clients, and deliver settlements within 90 days of their last medical treatment. We do this all without making them leave their home to meet with us, anywhere in Washington state, with a kind and compassionate attitude.
Washington Auto Law is a law firm that understands each client has different priorities and we focus our representation on providing services uniquely tailored to each of our clients. Above all, people need a lawyer that listens, that cares, and that works hard. That is our promise to every client.
We will take the time to travel and meet you in a location that is convenient and comfortable for you. When we meet, we promise to treat you with respect and listen to your story. We are not stuffy lawyers that sit behind a desk and interview clients. Our approach is different. We need to understand you as a person so that we can tell your story in a compelling way. Our relationship is based on mutual respect, and you can contact us anytime or any day to discuss your case.
