Washington Lawyers - Seattle

Firm: Plaintiff Litigation Group, PLLC

95 S Jackson Street, Suite 100 , Seattle , Washington 98104

Practice Areas: Employee Benefits

I am an attorney representing insurance policyholders and employees. After practicing insurance and employment law in Pittsburgh, PA for many years, I relocated to Seattle in 2017 with my wife, a native of the Pacific Northwest. Since then, I have continued representing insurance policyholders and employees throughout Washington and am enjoying exploring the beautiful Washington wilderness.. People I represent include: Holders of insurance policies (such as life, auto, disability, long term care, or homeowner's insurance) whose insurance companies fail to honor their obligations under their policies, for example, by unreasonably refusing to pay benefits that are due under the policy or otherwise acting unfairly.Employees whose employers discriminate against them in violation of Federal and Washington civil rights laws, for instance, through underpayment, harassment, or retaliation for complaining about discrimination. Note: I'm proud to have been well-reviewed by former clients and endorsed by other attorneys, but please keep in mind that those reviews or endorsements don't constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of your legal matter.

Practice Areas: Car Accidents

As an American whose father was born in a Colorado internment camp during World War II, I have always been aware of the human consequences that result from legal decisions. My firm is committed to seeking justice for every client through caring counsel and responsive service.. I am dedicated to providing the best possible representation for my clients.  I am an aggressive, diligent trial lawyer who is not afraid of the courtroom.  I never back down from a challenge.  My practice focuses primarily on car accident cases where I find great satisfaction advocating for persons who have been injured through no fault of their own by the negligence of another.  I give victims and their families full support as my firm presses to maximize compensation at trial or through a favorable settlement.. I bring to the table a wealth of experience. I spent the first eight years of my career as a public defender fighting for and protecting the constitutional rights of those charged with adult and juvenile misdemeanor and felony offenses.  I have also garnered great trial experience in both civil defense and civil plaintiff's work.  I have worked as in-house counsel for a large insurance company defending company insureds from tort claims.  My firm is committed to making sure that justice is served as promptly and completely as is possible under Washington law.. A few years ago, my father died due to someone else's negligence.  This was an extremely traumatic event for my family.  I personally know what it's like to have a loved one killed in a car accident due to someone else's negligence. Having gone through this experience, I understand the human component to this.  I know how important it is to have someone on your side fighting to make sure justice is obtained.

I graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1993, after working as a ranch hand, baker and mental health counselor.. I was fortunate to spend twenty-two years with the Seattle law firm MacDonald Hoague & Bayless - a wonderful place that truly worked to advance justice and goodness.  In 2015, I formed a firm to specialize in my favorite practice area -- helping people who have been denied short-term disability and long-term disability benefits. Most of these cases fall under the federal law known as "ERISA."  My practice is now 100% devoted to this area of the law.  I like it.. I litigate against the major disability insurance companies, including Prudential, Hartford, New York Life, CIGNA, Unum, Aetna and others.  I represent people with a broad range of disabling conditions.  For more information about my ERISA disability benefits practice, please visit my website, easily found with any search engine.

As a law student, I served as an Editor on the Touro Law Review, spent a great deal of my time serving as a Research and Teaching Assistant to my Criminal Procedure Professor, and received the CALI award for academic excellence in Advanced Legal Research and Writing.. I went on to practice in New York and Connecticut, representing clients in civil litigation, criminal defense, and personal injury cases. I formerly acted as Lead Attorney in the Title Claims & Tax Department of an East Coast mortgage banking firm representing lenders, trustees, and investors, and handled a high-volume civil caseload. I left civil practice and joined a small firm in Connecticut where I handled a vast range of cases including, but not limited to, sexual assault, assault, harassment and stalking, larceny, burglary and robbery, driving under the influence, drug possession and sale, domestic violence and criminal mischief. I also successfully represented plaintiffs and claimants in motor vehicle accident and personal injury matters and effectively assisted clients with the pardons application process presenting to the Connecticut Board of Pardons resulting in expungement of criminal records.. While licensed in Washington, New York and Connecticut, I currently reside and practice only in Washington, representing clients in Westwood Pacific's main practice areas: litigation, bankruptcy and restructuring, business, real estate, probate, estate planning, and family law.. I spend most of my free time chasing around three children and any and all things health and fitness.
