Hi, I'm Mike Gillett.. My Seattle-based law practice is devoted to fighting for your property rights and your economic rights. Under the law, you are entitled to the reasonable use of your property, and to responsibly conduct your business. I'm here when you need an advocate for your rights in a court of law or before a government agency - both state and federal.. After graduating from Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, I was admitted to the Washington Bar in 1980. I went to work as an associate at the Law Offices of Roger M. Leed, a small environmental and land use litigation firm in Seattle. In 1985, I began a four-year stint as an aide to U.S. Representative Al Swift in Washington, D.C., assisting him on environmental and energy legislation. I returned to Seattle in 1989, opening The Gillett Law Offices. For the next 11 years, most of my work was lobbying on environmental legislation and regulations. I represented both large and small businesses.. In  2000, I returned to a litigation-oriented practice, working for the McElroy Law Firm in Seattle - again, a small environmental and land use litigation firm. In 2005, I opened The Gillett Law Firm. My practice is primarily litigation in such areas as boundary disputes, tree law, environmental contamination, administrative law, and general property law. I also handle some employer issues, including litigation concerning workplace safety and industrial insurance taxes.. I was born in California in 1955, and spent most of my first 25 years there. My father was a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy, and my mother worked in procurement for the Defense Department. My wife, Teresa, and I were married in 1988, and have two adult daughters.. I enjoy barbequing for big backyard parties. I have interests in U.S. history, Catholic liturgy, Dostoevsky, and social justice. And, increasingly, I like to travel to warm places in the winter.

When a loved one dies or is catastrophically injured , due to the fault of another person or company, monetary damages cannot bring them back or restore their health, but it can provide medical or other necessities and comforts of life to help face an uncertain future. While no lawyer can guarantee a result, I know what kind of dedication, hard work and resources it takes to successfully settle or try these types of cases.. Mike is a tenacious trial lawyer who puts every ounce of effort and enthusiasm possible into his work.  His approach to each project is thorough, exhausting all possible angles to a problem.  His legal research on a number of cases - from procedural issues to medical malpractice - is a trusted tool in the office. Mike has a unique understanding of the dynamics and strategies involved in preparing personal injury and wrongful death cases for trial in such a way that defendants often settle. "I can't let these people down," Mike says.  "These people are hard-working, sincere in their efforts and have had the worst of all things happen to them because of physical injuries or death.  Even in the era of 'tort reform,' I refuse to apologize for representing these people.  It's a privilege.  All I try to do is bring them back to as nearly as whole as possible within the bounds of the law, so they can rebuild their shattered lives.  Perfect justice would require the undoing of the tragedy that has visited my clients.  We all know, however, that that cannot be done, which is why the law requires that full compensation be paid,"  Mike said.  "I think I'm lucky to be doing positive things for so many people."
