Following the untimely death of her husband, Leonard W. Moen, in 1986 Ruth Moen completed law school and took over the firm.. Ruth Moen is the heart and soul of Leonard W. Moen & Associates. The firm emphasizes Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation (L&I Claims), and Social Security Disability matters. Through her understanding of personal crisis, Ruth is able to empathize with her clients who are facing their own suffering, due to no fault of their own. She is able to find common ground with clients from all backgrounds because of her own life experiences.. Ruth has an abundance of energy and her laugh is contagious. While she has been able to negotiate thousands of cases and provide her clients with the best possible outcomes for their claims, she prides herself on not wearing a suit to work every day. Ruth likes to connect with her clients without the stigma that surrounds the typical lawyer. She likes to connect with her clients on a level that makes her clients feel comfortable and welcomed.

I have represented severely injured persons as an attorney since 2004 in claims against insurers, major corporations, and government agencies.  In and out of Court, through jury trial, and before the Supreme Court of this state, I have prevailed and counseled clients and small businesses in financial crisis, fought for the rights of the accused and victims of discrimination, and helped ordinary people who needed justice.. I have lived in the Puget Sound area my entire life.  After graduating valedictorian from Oak Harbor High School, I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree with Honors in Physics from the University of Puget Sound.  Then I went to law school at night so I could work full-time to support my family, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Seattle University in 2003.  I am currently a member of the Washington Bar, the Washington Association for Justice, the American Association for Justice, and admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.. I and my wife of 16 years have four children aged 10-18, and live in Seattle.  I have an intense passion for golf and chess, though I'm no expert at either.  I also enjoy spending time with my family, especially on Orcas Island or at Gasworks Park.
