Please Note:
You do not need to come up with money to start your case, because in Washington, your employer pays your legal fees. If you don’t win, you don’t pay. If you do win, we are paid a fraction of whatever we recover for you. This arrangement is called a contingent fee agreement.
You do not need to come to our office for us to handle your case. We are able to work with anyone in the State without them coming to our firm because we can do everything using the phone, email, and Zoom or other video conferencing if needed.
So what are you waiting for?
