Ms. Charlotte is a very knowledgeable attorney and earned my strong recommendation. My case was transferred into her office. Despite short notice and little background, she was able to quickly understand my case and give valuable suggestions in us reaching a meaningful settlement with insurance companies. She is a strong advocate and presents all options to you and recommends the best course of favorable action. She and her staff are professional, easy to work with and super prompt with attention to detail.

When I got in a auto accident I had no idea what to do. My neighbor directed me to Charlotte. Best decision I have ever made. She was able to direct me to medical professionals the were of the highest standards and forgoe payment until my settlement. I would not be able to pay if this did not happen. I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte to friends and family ( maybe even people I don't like) thank you Charlotte

Answers for Victims of Serious Injuries

  • How do I pay for a lawyer if I have huge medical bills?

    We work on a contingency fee basis-you don't pay anything upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case.

  • What if I was partly at fault for my injury?

    Washington state follows comparative fault rules. You can still recover damages, but your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

  • Will my catastrophic injury case go to trial?

    Many cases settle, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court. If insurance companies don't offer fair compensation, we're ready to fight for you in front of a judge or jury.
