Elizabeth is the best of the best. I have had the misfortune of being rear ended 4 times, so I know this area too well. My last claim was made so painful and traumatic for me, by the attorney, so I really needed a kind effective and professional woman attorney. Elizabeth was everything I needed and...

Ms. Welch did an excellent job representing me in an automobile accident claim. Once I engaged her, she handled everything and I was awarded a fair settlement. It was a relief not to have to deal with insurance company.

Elizabeth is excellent. She got the outcome we all needed and wanted. She was always punctual, she explained everything and made us feel like friends. Can't say enough good things.
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I contacted Elizabeth about an Oregon personal injury matter based on a recommendation from a trusted Washington attorney. She was incredibly responsive and able to quickly take action."
"Elizabeth is a great lawyer and an extremely caring person. As a lawyer myself, I believe strongly that knowing the law, being able to fight when necessary, and being an excellent speaker and writer are necessary skills, but are only the beginning. Elizabeth has all those skills. But she also has heart, and that is really the key. In order to get the best result possible for your clients, you have to believe in them and their cases. Elizabeth does. I recommend her strongly."
