The only thing that really matters is who you love. After thirty years as an estate planning and probate attorney, that’s one thing that I know for sure! Yes, we’ll ask you about the money, the tax planning, the way your retirement and life insurance are designated, who gets your jewelry and shop equipment. But we always circle back to the issue of why those things are important. Who do you love, and how should they be cared for if when you are gone? What is the best tax advantaged way to care for those people?. Everybody has a Will. The state legislature wrote one for you. It’s called the Intestacy Statute. The state’s Will everywhere in the US gives money to youngsters when they turn 18. The State’s Will won’t give money to charities. It might provide for your parents, but maybe not. The State has to presume that you didn’t trust anyone to handle your affairs without being supervised, because if you had trusted someone, you would have told us. The result is that if you don’t have a Will, the Courts will supervise every move that your Executor makes. The Executor can’t sell the house without the Court reviewing all the offers. She can’t clean out your home or have a garage sale without an order from the Court.. Our goal is to help you identify your wishes, and then draft documents that capture your heart, planning in a way that gives you the best estate tax planning, maximizing your gifts.. We are located in the heart of Bellevue, WA and our office is easily accessible to King County areas of Seattle, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Renton, Issaquah, Bothell, Mill Creek and Redmond..

Thanks for visiting my office profile.. I represent injured people.  That's all I do, and all I've done since 1983.  In that time, I've had the honor to speak for well over 1,000 victims of others' negligence, mainly from King, Pierce and Snohomish counties, but from all over Western Washington, and from Eastern Washington as well.  I've also appeared in the courts of Oregon, Idaho and California.. While most injury cases settle out of court,  I've tried over one hundred cases to conclusion, mainly in Seattle, Tacoma and Everett, but also in Spokane, Yakima, Tri-Cities, and San Diego.. Nobody wants a "good" injury claim;  that means you've suffered a bad injury.   On the other hand, if you are seriously hurt, you need experienced, competent representation.. I'm honored to have earned an "AV"--"preeminent"--rating from Martindale-Hubbel each year since 1999.  Martindale is an anonymous, random peer review/rating organization, and the "AV" rating means that a the lawyers that I work with and against think highly of my work.. I'm proud to say that I am willing to handle medical negligence cases, on behalf of people whose health care providers failed them.  These are very difficult, time consuming and risky cases, and many plaintiffs' attorneys won't touch them.    We are willing to investigate such cases, and if there's solid proof of negligence, we'll take them on.. Like most plaintiff's laywers, we also handle all other injury claims, incuding automobile accidents, "slip and fall" accidents, construction site injuries, etc.   Our clients consistently compliment my excellent staff for the genuine care and attention they give to the cases we handle.. We'll be glad to talk to you about your case.. Best wishes and good luck.. Dave
