Some of my most rewarding memories come from working to help my children and others like them in our community have the chance for a good education. So, I tried to contribute where I felt I could do the most good.  For 11 years I was a member of the Snoqualmie Valley School Board and served two terms as president. The Board decides matters of policy for the School District. In those years we had an annual budget of between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 with over 400 employees and serving 4,500 students. Our Board was recognized as the best in the State of Washington for its size of district (2001) by the Washington State School Directors Association. The Board was recognized nationally as one of 25 of the best Boards by the official publication of the National School Boards Association (2002), for work in technology. (See photo for 2002 award).  We were also honored by proclamations of the state legislature and King County Council.. I have also enjoyed a number of fun years as a soccer coach, basball coach, chess tournament host, and cub scout leader.. These days I enjoy sailing, fly fishing and bicycle riding.

I have been in practice since 1991.  The overwhelming majority of new clients are referred to me by my former clients.  I have worked in the areas of Conflict Resolution, Personal Injury, Family Law, Criminal Defense, Mediations, Collaborative Law, and other trial or civil litigation work.. I am a well-trained and experience Mediator and Collaborative Lawyer working to help individuals resolve their dispute without going to court.  For more information about mediation or collaborative law go to .. I encourage straight talk and honest assessments.  I do not work with people who will not put their children first. I believe every person is entitled to understand the law and their options, and I believe that with honest hard work all things all possible.. I am a member of the Washington State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association, Pierce County Collaborative Practice, Washington Collaborative Practice, the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and the Washington State Society for Justice.  I am active in the community in which my family resides.  I am blessed to have a wonderful blended family and five children with whom I try to stay very active in their lives in addition to working in a very high paced and positive law practice.. All emails are returned as soon as possible.  I encourage you to send me a message.. -Kevin Richardson

I fight for people and businesses who have had their insurance claim denied, delayed, or underpaid by their insurance company.  You paid for insurance to protect your property or your life and it is not right when your claim is unreasonably denied or underpaid.  The insurance company has a team of lawyers and adjusters on their side and you should have someone fighting for you and your rights.. I am experienced at litigating insurance bad faith cases in both Washington State and Federal Courts.  My bad faith insurance practice is focused on property insurance and I handle claims involving the Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA).  I have significant experience working for insurance companies in property and liability insurance but I no longer represent them.  I use my experience to represent the victims of their bad faith practices.. I was born in Auburn and grew up in Covington.  I graduated from West Point with a bachelor's degree and then served as an officer in the US Army, including an assignment at Ft. Lewis (now JBLM). After leaving the Army as a Captain, I attended and graduated from law school at Arizona State University before moving back to Washington and starting to practice law in 1991.

I approach each case as if I were representing a friend or a family member.  To my clients that means they get a sympatheitc ear, and a zealous advocate.
