Awesome Attorney

I was biten by a dog on my face in December, 2012. I needed help with the dog owner's insurance company. My local attorney told me about Lee. I was very impressed with his level of knowledge and expertise. Mr. Tucker handled the bulk of the insurance claim and I received a very fair settlement ...because of Lee. He was very informative. He was very kind as it was a difficult situation as the dog owner was a friend of mine. There was no pressure to continue on if I was comfortable wih the insurance company offer. Lee knows about personal injury cases and dog bite cases. I needed an attorney as the insurance company wanted to give me a small amount, not enough to even reimburse me for my medical expenses, much less my time loss from work and my mental issues with the dog bite. It changed my life forever. I am so grateful to Lee and my other attoney Noah Harrison of Port Townsend for helping me when I needed it the most. Mr. Tucker has done many insurance personal injury cases. You cannot go wrong with Mr. Tucker. I highly recommend Lee to everyone.

Accessible, responsive, effective

Lee and his paralegal were accessible and responsive. When I called or emailed, I received a response within hours. I appreciated Lee keeping me up to date with texts. And I appreciated that they got results and I was helped.

No Better Choice for Personal Injury Representation

I have been with Lee since 2007, He has represented me in numerous cases. He has walked with me thru every step of every case, and has been very honest in what to expect during the entire process. Lee is very personable and open minded, I can come to him with any question or concern regardless of th...e nature. Lee is tough and will fight on your behalf. He does not back down to insurance companies or other attorneys. Lee is very ethical, and will tell you what is right and wrong in any approach taken. Lee is very quick to respond to any text or email I send, he also answers, or returns, every call I make to him. Lee is extremely loyal to his clients and will stand behind you every step of the way. Lee is very well connected, and has experts to assist with any aspect of a case. Lee is very lucky to have the most amazing paralegal on the planet!! Janelle is incredibly efficient and thorough. Janelle is very compassionate and always communicates in a timely manner. Lee is the RIGHT choice Lee is the ONLY choice Lee is the BEST choice Lee is the SMART choice There's simply no other Personal Injury Attorney that compares.

Highly recommend!

Lee went above and beyond my expectations. I was involved in a automobile accident as a passenger. After finding out the driver of the car I was in didn't have insurance and my medical bills were not going to be covered by my own uninsured motorist policy. I decided to get a lawyer. I met with sev...eral other lawyers before finding Lee. This was my first time ever being involved in a lawsuit and within minutes of our initial meeting Lee had explained the process and made me feel confident having him represent me. From that point on Lee took care of everything and put my mind at ease, even when the insurance company tried to bully me. He was always quick to answer question (he even texts!) and professional in all our interactions. I received a larger settlement than expected and in a timely manner. You can tell that Lee truly cares about his clients well being and is very knowledgable. I have referred my friends and will continue to do so.

Great attorney to work with !

Lee was a referral to me from a co-worker. From my first phone call with him I felt like I could trust him to be honest with me and handle my case in a professional manner. Over this last year, this has proven to be true. Both he and his paralegal have kept me well informed, answered my numerous q...uestions and always made me feel like I was never a bother to then. All emails that I sent were answered within a day. Should I ever have the need, I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.
