Great Lawyer!

After I was injured at work, I started receiving calls from unknown numbers. I got stressed and confused due to the physical pain after the injury, surgery and emotional pain. I didn’t have any idea what do. A great Washington state lawyer recommended Attorney Spencer Kelly. I called his office and s...cheduled an appointment. Attorney Kelly met me in friendly manner, listened to everything what I said, was both compassionate and confident. After he accepted my case, I felt total relief. He was excellent in corresponding with me and kept me informed throughout the process of my case. At the end we were able to reach the best result possible. I was happy to receive my compensation letter in my mail. Stay safe and healthy, but if you get injured at work don’t hesitate to call Spencer Kelly.

Excellent attorney!!!

Spencer Kelly has been my attorney on three worker compensation claims. All of them were winning cases and each time I got my worker compensation in a timely manner. As with all cases there were a lot of challenges on the way dealing with the insurance companies; however, with Mr. Kelly's caring and ...determined nature we were able to overcome all possible obstacles to make it an ultimate success! My last worker compensation claim was most challenging in a way I was treated by the insurance company, but Spencer's superb approach and intelligence helped us overcome that as well, so we got paid! I feel very grateful that I have had Spencer by my side and strongly recommend him as an attorney to anyone who is in search for an excellent attorney. Thank you very much!!!

Spencer want to give up on clients

I’ve been fighting this Workmen’s Compensation situation for the last four months. I had to have two eye surgeries to have my retina stabilized and reattached due to a fault from a coworkers negligence of sliding a battery across the floor at work. The company and district managers decided they were ...going to erase the video footage and all of a sudden, Mr. Kelly decides he wants to settle And it seems to me he wants to back out of the Case because of my pre-existing vision issues I do not recommend anyone to be represented by Mr. Welch, Mr. Brun, Mr. Green or Mr. Kelly. It seems also to me under the assumption that they want to as attorneys get themselves paid get medical bills paid and not get the client any money Regarding the case for pain and suffering or time loss or anything of that nature I’m in the process of possibly hiring another lawyer My family and I are very disappointed in the lack of work. This lawyer has done not every day. Does someone go to work and decide that they’re going to get injured from another employee sliding a vehicle battery in their direction the workers compensation clearly states.
