I believe my role as an attorney is to help my clients quickly, efficiently, and effectively resolve their disputes. As part of that, I am committed to keeping my clients informed, making sure they understand the process, the options available, and the potential risks and benefits of each option. Because most people are involved in very few lawsuits during their lifetime, I make sure each client is given the necessary guidance along the way.. I firmly believes in the value of resolving matters by agreement rather than through litigation. This allows the parties to craft more creative agreements, potentially maintain an amicable relationship even after the case is resolved, and typically costs far less than litigation. On the other hand, when necessary,I am fully prepared to advocate for my clients in court to protect their interests. I have experience handling family law cases, real estate matters, contract disputes, business and employment issues, and many others. For the past 10 years,  I have helped my clients reach successful resolution in these areas, through negotiation, litigation, and appellate work. I also act as a mediator to help parties reach an agreed resolution.

I live in Tacoma, Washington with my wife and our daughters.  I grew Yakima, Washington on an apple and pear orchard.  My practices takes me all over the State of Washington.. I work on all types of personal injury cases including motor vehicle collisions, premises liability trip and fall incidents, product liability injuries, worksite and construction site injuries, and nursing home injuries.  I have a particular interest in cases involving recreational injuries.  I frequently work on cases involving skier/snowboarder collisions, injuries at gyms and healthclubs, injuries in the outdoors, scuba, mudruns, bicycle accidents, equestrian injuries, boating accidents, and swimming pool and waterslide injuries.  As an avid motorcyclist, I help create and launch Evergreen Motorcycle Attorneys where I work with motorcyclists injuried on the road.. I try to blend my passions outside of the office with the cases I frequently work on.  This experience helps me better understand how my clients were injuried and helps me better represent them. As a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain with years of boating experience, I bring expertise and training to boating and watercraft injuries.  I am also certified scuba driver.  I bring years of experience and training to my cases involving injuries in the mountains and on the ski slopes.  I am certified by the American Avalanche Association at Level II Avalanche Processes and Leadership.  I am a former professional ski instructor where I was formerly certified at Level II by PSIA in the Rocky Mountain Division.  For my clients injured on two wheels while motorcycling, I bring years of experience as an avid motorcyclist having logged tens of thousands of miles on and off road.. I am actively involved in the bar association.  I recently served as 2020 President of the Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association.  I am currently serving as vice president of the Tacoma Pro Bono Board.  I have served on numerous committees and appointments.  I am frequent speaker at continuing legal education seminars involving personal injury topics.. When I'm not litigating injury cases for my clients, I love to spend time with my family out on the water, in the mountains skiing or riding off road motorcycles.

Robin Balsam has been in private practice since 1984 and has over 40 years of experience. She is an assertive litigator with extensive experience in highly contested probates, will contests, uncovering and pursuing perpetrators of fiduciary fraud and elder abuse, complicated guardianships, trusts, estates, and other related matters.  Ms. Balsam has an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell.  She was initially selected as a SuperLawyer in 2011, and has been selected again each year from 2015 through the present.. Her practice has emphasized guardianship, trust, probate and representing families with special needs since 1993. Ms. Balsam has chaired and spoken at legal seminars on various aspects of these practice areas as well as related ethical issues since 1998. She handles complex guardianship, trust, and probate problems; represents other fiduciaries in various roles; and engages in many aspects of personal injury settlement trust work. Her work also includes representation of families with special needs, as well as practical experience in defense against allegations or findings by Adult Protective Services and recovery of assets for victims of elder abuse or exploitation. She received an LL.M. Masters in Elder Law at Stetson University School of Law in 2013.. As Director of Commencement Bay Fiduciary Services, a certified professional guardian agency, she is the major decision-maker on investments, medical procedures, living arrangements and purchases for incapacitated people and trust beneficiaries. She also directs the day-to-day operations of the guardianship agency employing three professional guardians and support staff, along with a four-attorney law firm.. In addition to extensive litigation experience, Ms. Balsam is also collaboratively trained and has experience as a mediator. She is a current Pro Tem Court Commissioner and former Pro Tem Judge for Pierce County Superior Court.. Ms. Balsam has a number of professional affiliations, and frequently assists other attorneys who are not experienced in representing the elderly, incapacitated and disabled in legal matters such as personal injury, contract and domestic litigation. Ms. Balsam’s firm provides a uniquely collaborative and resourceful approach to the legal issues that confront elders and the disabled by providing a range of solutions from negotiated out-of-court agreements to traditional legal advocacy.. Ms. Balsam always enjoyed spending time with her grandparents, talking about their lives and experiences, and spent a lot of time with an older neighbor discussing travel and photography when she was a youngster.  These relationships inspired her to choose elder law as a practice area when she began her own law practice in 1989.
