Firm: Lehmbecker Law

11711 SE 8th St., Ste. 120 , Bellevue , Washington 98005

Practice Areas: Workers Compensation

I am a Pacific Northwest native. I graduated from the University of Washington in 1983 and the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco in 1986. Upon graduation, I decided I wanted to serve the people with whom I grew up, so I moved back to the Seattle area and began a general law practice which provided a variety of legal services such as family law, estate planning, small business consulting, and workers’ compensation. However, I soon realized that the work I found most compelling was representing the injured, who were often in desperate need of assistance to rebuild their lives after suffering a career or life-altering injury.. In 1990, I changed my practice to solely represent the injured. The firm I founded has now grown to include three attorneys and 15 paralegals and office staff. Eight members of my team are also bilingual in Spanish. Our firm provides legal services to clients who have suffered injuries, either in an auto accident or other personal injury, or while on the job. We also now offer services to help people with social security disability benefits.. My background has left me with progressive values and a desire to ensure my firm does its part to promote diversity and social equity. Lehmbecker Law is a leader in Washington State, equally serving all members of our diverse community and we would love to help you, too.
