I was born in Renton, Washington in 1964. Most of my life I lived in Auburn, Washington and graduated from Auburn Senior High School in 1982. In 1989 I started working in the legal industry as a paralegal/office manager in a small office in south King County. I loved working in the area of law, but after several years I realized that I wanted to become more involved in the cases than just being a paralegal. I continued working and started going to night school to obtain my Bachelor’s degree. In 2004 I graduated from the University of Washington with a major in Sociology and a minor in Communications. After that it was on to law school at Seattle University where I graduated in 2008.My work experience has given me a vast area of knowledge. During my 20 years in the legal industry, I have worked in family law, personal injury, property damage, medical malpractice, employment law, product liability, bankruptcy, criminal law, real estate, collections, fee disputes, estate planning, and probate. I even did some process serving when I was younger. Thus, my working experience has allowed me to see every aspect of a case from the bottom up.My family and I currently live in Bellevue, Washington. We love the Pacific Northwest and enjoy a lot of different outdoor activities. We also thoroughly love food and entertainment and take advantage of everything the Seattle/Bellevue area has to offer.

I own and operate my own law firm and real estate brokerage firm right here in Emerald City, WA. I am licensed to practice in all state courts in KS, MO & WA, and federal courts in The United States District Courts- Western District and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.. I am a plaintiff's attorney at heart and represent victims of awful collisions and victims who do not have a voice in this Society. This love stemmed from my years of experience as a former Police Officer in Missouri.. My business experience includes litigating complex business transactions, landlord/tenant, commercial disputes, business torts, fraud, unfair competition, construction defect, and most of the exciting world of real estate law. I have been the real estate agent in well over 100 real estate transactions. I absolutely love what I do.. As a daughter of immigrant parents from Vietnam, I am passionate to help others. I am a Past-President of the Vietnamese American Bar Association (VABAW), which is a phenomenal minority bar association, and am active in a series of organizations. I frequently speak at local and national conventions including to state bar associations.. I believe I was born with an internal fire to help, protect, teach and serve my clients - all day every day.

I have more than 20 years of experience with Washington State Workers' Compensation claims. I have represented injured workers for the past 10 years.  What sets me apart is that I spent 10 years before that representing self-insured employers, so I know what they can, and cannot do, and I know how to work with them when that is more helpful than litigation. I have taken cases through L&I, BIIA, superior court and the Court of Appeals.. For the past 9 years or so, I have also represented those who have become disabled and need Social Security Disability.  I work with those clients from application through the Appeals Council process.. I was licensed to practice law in Michigan from 1983 to 1991.  I then moved to Washington and spent a couple of years in non-profit administration before returning to the practice of law in 1995.  I have always been fascinated by the medical aspects of personal injury and disablity cases.  I continue to learning how the body and mind work together, particularly in response to trauma by talking to clients and doctors, and by doing medical research.

I have litigated personal injury and insurance cases since 1987.  I believe in justice and require my adversaries treat my clients fairly.  I will go to trial when necessary, and have succesfully handled significant injury and wrongful death cases for clients throughout the nation and in Canada, Mexico, Vietnam and China.

I have been the principal of the Law Offices of Beth A. McDaniel, PLLC since 2002. Our firm focuses on areas associated with estate planning including wills and trusts, disability planning, guardianship, elder law, probate, and mediation. We have offices in Renton, Washington and Bellevue, Washington.  I am one of the eight certified elder law attorneys in Washington state, as accredited by the National Elder Law Foundation.  Note: this designation is recognized by the American Bar Association, but not by the Washington State Bar Association.  I was named Attorney/Law Firm of the Year in the Renton Reprorter Newspaper's Best of Renton 2019 Readers' Poll.  I live with my husband and two children in Newcastle, Washington.

I have been practicing law over the last 18 years.  During the time I practice law, I was raising a family and managed two other independent businesses at the same time, a business brokerage business and an escrow business.   With each venture, I provide the same intense level of dedication that I commit to every project and every case I work on.  Yet, with all of my clients, I never stray from the values that characterized me as a person:  compassion, integrity, and above all else - loyalty.  That is why I continue to operate law solely by word of mount.. My primary legal practice now focuses on business formation, advising business on choice of entity and regulatory compliance, real estate transactions, business closings, and escrow. My clients range from single individuals, small business, and companies of all size. While I have an active transactional practice, my practice also heavily emphasizes the importance of human connection.  I first make sure to understand what my client's needs are before I undertake any legal work and I always strive to ensure that not only their legal objectives are met, but also their personal objecgtives are met as well.  I have a rule to always promptly return my client's calls, if not immediately, then by the next business day at the most.. While I am often called to reivew and prepare documents, negotiation contractual terms and conditions, and the transference of titles, I am also often called upon by clients who are unsure of how real estate laws and regulations could affect their business when buying or selling real estate. I help them with title issues, environmental, and insurance issues. I also review and prepare appraisals, inspections, leases, and purchase agreements. I draft documents such as financial and rental agreements, leases, and deeds for conveyance transactions. A significant part of my practice also revolves around due diligence compliance, review of sales price history, and lease terms.

I graduated from the University of Washington in 1983 with dual degrees in Political Science and Speech Communications.  I obtained my law degree in 1986 from the University of Puget Sound and joined the Bar in 1987.. I started my legal career as an intern in the City of Seattle Prosecutors office.  There I learned the fundamentals of misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor prosecution.  After graduation, I joined the King County Prosecutor's Office and spent two years prosecuting cases in every district court in King County.. In 1988 I left government work and joined what was then known as Holm, Mogren & Glessner, where I learned the finer points of criminal defense, family law and estate planning.  I stayed there for two years before I left to take over as director of a non-profit organization - Young Life -- on the Olympic Peninsula.  After six years, I returned to the practice of law.  I owned my own firm in Clallam County where I received the Distinguished Service Award in 2000 and was elected President of the Clallam County Bar Association in 2007.  My practice on the peninsula continued until 2012 when my husband retired fromt he Washington State Patrol and we returned to King County.. I have rejoined my old firm as a shareholder with the new name of Mogren, Glessner, Roti & Ahrens, P.S.  I continue my practice in family law, criminal defense, estate planning and personal injury work.

I am a partner in the Swanson Gardner Meyers Cohon, PLLC law firm in Renton, Washington. We exclusively represent individuals who have been injured by the negligence or intentional conduct of others. We handle all types of personal injury, automobile accident, wrongful death, medical negligence, products liability, and assault cases.. I grew up in western Washington and graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science in 1989. I earned my J.D. from Willamette University College of Law in 1993.. After law school I clerked for a trial judge in Pierce County and then served as a Deputy Prosecutor in the Criminal Division of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s office from 1993 – 2000, where I tried numerous cases before King County juries, argued multiple cases before the the Washington State Court of Appeals, and arguedseveral times before the Washington State Supreme Court.. I entered private practice in 2000, worked for several years as an insurance defense lawyer with a large Seattle firm, and then opened my own practice in 2005 representing clients with personal injury claims.. I joined my friend and colleague Todd Gardner and the Swanson Gardner firm in 2008 ( initially while also running my own practice) and have worked full time with Todd since 2010. I became a named partner in the firm (Swanson Gardner Meyers)in 2015. We added partner Dylan Cohon in 2021 (Swanson Gardner Meyers Cohon).. Our firm, Swanson Gardner Meyers Cohon, PLLC, (“SGMC”) is one of the most respected and successful plaintiff personal injury, wrongful death and medical negligence law firms in the State of Washington. We are a firm of trial lawyers, focusing entirely on obtaining fair compensation for clients who have been injured or who have lost loved ones due to the negligence of others. Our philosophy is simple: preparation and hard work win cases. The attorneys and staff at Swanson SGMC do their best to secure results for their clients because they tap their experience and professionalism to out-prepare and outwork the opposing insurance companies and the defense.. While the firm and its lawyers have earned many awards over the years, results matter. In 2021, we represented the family of Sarah Wong, a 19-year-old college student killed in the 2019 tower crane collapse at the Google Building in downtown Seattle. Our office was a leader in that litigation, which resulted in at total recovery in settlements and verdicts of over $110 million for our clients. In 2019, we obtained a $65 million settlement for a woman injured in a two-vehicle collision in Seattle. 2013, we achieved a $50 million verdict on behalf of our clients in a complex and lengthy medical negligence case involving negligence in genetic testing, which remains one of the largest personal injury verdicts in Washington history and one of the largest in U.S. history for a case of its type. In recent years, the firm has obtained jury verdicts in other cases of over $1,000,000 fourteen times and obtained multiple verdicts in excess of $10 million.. We prepare every case for trial, believing strongly that this always results in greater compensation for our clients, but the decision to try a case to verdict or settle before trial is always the client’s decision. Direct client communication and immediate response to client needs are core values at our firm. We are a small, efficient firm with a strong team of experienced trial lawyers, paralegals and staff who have worked together for many years. Client questions and concerns are answered quickly and directly, and clients are always kept well informed.. We believe the attorney-client relationship is important and that both the attorney and the client should enter into this relationship carefully. We are not a “high pressure” sales firm. We do not advertise and, instead, most of our clients come to us through referral from former clients, colleagues, and others in the community who know our reputation. We take all of our cases on a contingency fee basis, requiring no fee until our work is complete and the client has recovered compensation. We will, in most cases, advance costs to prevent clients from having to pay out-of-pocket expenses while we prepare the case. In every case we will communicate directly with the client’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance carrier and health insurance carrier to secure all available insurance coverage while the case proceeds.. We are experienced in many types of personal injury and wrongful death claims, including claims involving medical negligence, traumatic brain injury, automobile collisions, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, defective highway design, defective products, hazardous substances, dog bites and sexual assault. On behalf of injured clients, we also pursue insurance companies directly in Underinsured Motorist (UIM) claims and in claims for bad faith, breach of contract, for violations of the Washington Insurance Fair Conduct Act (IFCA) and the Washington Consumer Protection Act (CPA).
