My injured clients and their families pay a steep personal price when other people or institutions choose, for whatever reason, to do things that put other people in harms way.  I believe holding wrongdoers accountable for their choices and their actions is the best way to bringing justice to the injured, killed or abused.  Justice for my clients, and people like them, means closure; it means making sure they are fully and fairly compensation for what was taken and doing something to prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.  It is our right to expect our fellow drivers to follow the rules of the road.  We can rightfully expect corporations to keep their vehicles, their equipment, and their properties in safe condition.  Doctors and hospitals must follow the safety policies and procedures developed over the years to keep us all safe.  Nursing homes must hire, train, and supervise enough qualified staff people to care for our most vulnerable citizens.  When these expectations are not met and someone gets hurt or killed as a result, justice and fairness require recognition of what happened, restitution for the injured, and those in responsible must make the changes necessary to keep the same thing from happen again.

I started working on personal injury cases just before my last year of law school. I was fortunate to work as an intern for a solo-practitioner, and learned all that I could in my time there, assisting with personal injury cases from intake to completion. This crash course in personal injury was unlike any class in law school. I learned how to work with and advocate for my clients. I’m thankful for the guidance and collegiality I received early on in my career and will pay it forward.. After graduating from Gonzaga School of Law in 1997, I continued handling personal injury matters, almost exclusively, working for two busy law firms over the next 20 years, gaining valuable litigation experience.. I opened my own firm, Radtke Law Firm, in October 2017. My focus and passion remain on plaintiff personal injury law, which allows me to continue to help those that have been wrongly injured by the negligence of others.. If you are hurt because of another's failure to follow a duty, an established rule, or exercise reasonable care you can pursue a personal injury claim to hold them accountable. Holding those negligent accountable leads to greater safety for us all. If you’ve been hurt, contact me for a free consultation.. ----.

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Greg Marshall grew up outside Portland, Oregon, and graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, in 1985.  He attended Seattle University School of Law (formerly University of Puget Sound School of Law), where he served as a Research & Technical Editor for the Law Review and published an article, In re Schuoler:  The Right to Refuse Schock Treatment, before graduating in the top quarter of his class in 1988.. After clerking for the late Honorable Edward P. Reed at Division II of the Washington State Court of Appeals, Greg entered private practice as an associate attorney with an insurance defense firm in Seattle.  Within a year, he left the firm and opened his own solo practice. With the exception of a two-year partnership, he has continued with his solo practice up to today.. Greg has handled a variety of cases covering a number of different areas of the law, but his current practice focuses almost exclusively on personal injury and medical malpractice cases.  He works hard to maximize his clients' recovery--both physically and financially.  He utilizes the support of an experienced paralegal but has always been committed to making himself personally available to his clients.. Concerned for the success and welfare of his community at large, Greg has contributed by representing indigent clients pro bono, volunteering at legal clinics, and helping at food banks.. He enjoys boating, skiing, fishing, hiking, traveling, SCUBA diving, and traveling with his wife and their family.
