Trial Attorney

We are a mission-driven plaintiff’s firm dedicated to representing catastrophically injured individuals and grieving families. Our work centers on holding powerful corporations, contractors, and governmental entities accountable when they fail to prioritize safety. Our firm has been at the forefront of advancing worker safety law in Washington—litigating cases that have strengthened protections for workers, exposed unsafe practices, and driven meaningful systemic change. We take pride in not only achieving substantial results for our clients, but also helping make worksites safer for everyone. Our firm’s work in landmark workplace-safety cases — including Afoa v. Port of Seattle (Afoa I and Afoa II) and Vargas v. Inland Washington, LLC—reflects our commitment to pushing the law forward for injured workers and their families. Those cases helped clarify and strengthen the responsibilities of worksite owners, general contractors, and entities with control over multi-employer worksites to protect all workers— not just their own employees—from preventable harm. That impact is central to who we are: a trial firm that pursues justice for individual clients while helping make workplaces safer for everyone. Equally important: we’ve built a supportive, collaborative culture. We believe great trial lawyers are made in environments where mentorship, teamwork, and humanity matter as much as outcomes.
