My practice of law deals primarily with helping seriously injured people recover for their injuries and deal with their insurance claims. I grew up in Spokane and knew I wanted to be a lawyer when I was in fourth grade and have pursued that goal ever since. I graduated from West Valley High School where I was on the debate team that went to Nationals and went on to Washington State University earning a degree in Political Science. My law degree is from Gonzaga University School of Law where I was an associate editor of the Law Review and graduated with honors. I opened my firm in the fall of 1991 and since that time have handled numerous cases, some with very large damages and complex issues. I am an Eagle Member of the Washington Association of Justice which is an association of lawyers dedicated to fighting for justice for people who have been injured. I truly enjoy the practice of law and the ability to improve the lives of those who have been seriously injured. I would like to talk to you to see if I can help you. My years of experience have enabled me to find a way to resolve your case as quickly as possible with the least difficulty and to achieve proven results.

The modern trend of the legal profession is to avoid using language that few every-day individuals understand. For example, a legal practice area could be defined as “Torts.” However, few people including myself before graduating from law school are familiar with the scope and definition of “Torts.” The approach Kobes Legal PLLC takes is to educate clients as well as protect their interests throughout the legal process and speak in a language most people understand. It is our job to make sure you understand what is happening every step of the way.. Customer service is often lost in the legal profession too. For example, remembering a client’s name, remembering facts they shared with you having nothing to do with the legal case, asking them about their day, or remembering their birthday are often overlooked. None of these examples generate income for the firm, but a client will remember the excellent customer service. This firm invests extra time and effort to make each client feel appreciated to include prompt return calls or responses, attention to detail, and a team-focus as litigation progresses. Litigation is complex involving many curve balls. Our firm manages expectations, maintains tactical patience, and communicates with our team-members including the client.. We create a customer experience that bolsters client confidence. Kobes Legal PLLC is a client-centered culture striving to make a positive impact.

Firm: Brad Pistotnik Law Pa

I have been practicing law since 2003 and have tried more than 40 jury trials and numerous non-jury trials throughout my career.  Currently, 100% of my practice is dedicated to seeking justice for those injured by the negligence of others.. Background:  After graduating from Heidelberg University where I was a four-year member of the wrestling team, I attended the University of Miami School of Law.  After graduating from law school, I began my legal career as a prosecutor in Florida, where I tried case after case before Florida juries.  This prosecutorial experience honed my skills as a litigator and kindled within me a true passion for the courtroom.. Driven by service, I joined the Unites States Army Reserve in 2004 as a member of the Army JAG Corps and I continue to serve as an Army reservist today.  My military service has included nearly eight years of active duty military law practice, including a deployment to Iraq in 2010, where my primary missions were to partner with Iraq Army lawyers as part of the U.S. effort to help develop and grow the Iraq judicial system, as well as to investigate and pay claims made by Iraq nationals for alleged damages caused by coalition troops. From helping to deliver computers, printers, and copiers to a civilian courthouse in downtown Baghdad, to traveling to numerous Iraqi Army bases for meetings, to making cash payments to locals whose claims for damages had been verified, my overseas experiences helped to solidify an appreciation for our U.S. system of justice.  I currently hold the military rank of Major and I'm a graduate of the U.S. Army’s Airborne and Air Assault schools, among others.. From 2007 – 2012, and in between military mobilizations, I practiced law at John Madden, P.A. in Stuart, FL, where I was able to earn a number of excellent results for our civil litigation, criminal defense, and family law clients.  My Army service eventually led to a consecutive six-year active duty period of service from 2012 – 2018, during which I served at Fort Knox, KY; Charlottesville, VA, where I earned a Master of Law degree in military law; and, finally, at the 451st Expeditionary Sustainment Command here in Wichita, KS, where my family and I chose to remain after leaving active duty.. I am licensed to practice law in Kansas state and federal courts, as well as in Florida and Texas, and I am a member of the Wichita Bar Association and the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.. It is my commitment to work tirelessly on behalf of my clients.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, staying in shape, and training in martial arts.
