A miracle settlement

I was injured in a slip and fall case back in 2014. When the insurance company would not quit harassing me, I decided I needed an attorney. I live in Seattle, so I started there. I called every attorney that was also licensed in Oregon (the accident happened in Oregon). I must have spoken to at l...east 15 attorneys who laughed me off because it was a slip and fall. They didn't want to hear about it, even when I knew they didn't have to prove liability, just damages. Some attorney in Oregon referred me to Jose. He listened to me, heard me tell him how liability was already clear and that damages was the only issue that needed to be resolved. Because of this, I got a settlement that was more than any slip and fall that I had ever seen. In fact, I have never seen a slip and fall win. If you have a case that you think will never be won, call Jose, and tell him that Terry sent you.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Jose for several as we worked together at Allstate prior to becoming plaintiff attorneys. Jose is an excellent litigator and negotiator. He is not afraid of the courtroom. HIs prior experience as a defense attorney gives him keen insight as to what to expect from the other side. He cares about his clients and getting them a good result and will work hard to do so. I highly recommend him."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Jose is a great lawyer. He has a pleasant, folksy demeanor that is very effective. I don't worry about lawyers with a loud bark. I worry about guys like Jose that can charm concessions out of witnesses and argue very forcibly for their client while appearing entirely reasonable."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
