My practice is limited to complex high stakes catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.  I achieved a  $123M verdict against Ride the Ducks in 2019 and a $43M verdict in a motorcycle v. vehicle case in 2022. In 2024, the City of Seattle paid $10M to settle the Black Lives Matter peaceful protester case that I led.   I have obtained numerous 7 and 8 figure results for clients with traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, polytrauma, and for survivors of those who have been killed.  The types of cases range from product liability and medical negligence to highway design, motor vehicle crashes, civil rights and in 2022 I achieved a $3.5M verdict in a civil murder case.  I have  a strong reputation in the legal community and speak around the country for trial lawyer organizations.  I have lived in Seattle since the age of 4, and have 3 children and grandchildren.  The Velvet Hammer Podcast has been in production since 2020 and is now a video podcast.

I am a trial lawyer representing victims of misconduct.  I am also a dad, husband, Scuba diver, guitar player, and occasional weekend warrier handyman.

I am a tireless advocate of my clients first and foremost, but outside of my job I do enjoy other things legal and non-legal alike. I volunteer with the First Responders Will Clinic writing wills for  Washington's first responders, and I spend time reading legal guides and articles to help sharpen my in office skills. When I am not focused on the law I like to garden, hike, swim, and go to as many games at Safeco as I can. I followed in my grandfather's and father's footsteps when it comes to amassing grand amounts of baseball knowledge. Watching and playing baseball is essential to my well being.
