I went into law to help those who needed to understand their rights, whether it was under an insurance contract or as a result of the negligence of others.
I continually try to improve myself and my office procedures so that I can make the best service available. I now have 31 years of experience and always apply the most efficient and creative approach I can to the complex issues and circumstances that people bring to me.
I have handled very complicated litigation such as electrocutions, poisonings, and product failures, along with on the job injuries, and product defects or failure to maintain equipment.
I depend on my able staff and our advanced technological systems to help us organize and structure our work. I have many colleagues I consult with on a regular basis and that helps me feel very connected to my legal brethren.
I served in Viet Nam and over the years devised a way to help veterans and their families through an organization that I started called The Veterans Advocates Guild. I am working to put together a network of attorneys to help me offer free or low cost legal assistance to this group.
In my off hours, I enjoy walking in the woods, fishing a bit, and borrowing a Harley once in awhile. I love a good book and love spending time with my large family.

Jerry is one of a kind. I've worked with him and Michele over the years on various matters and it's a relationship that I value a lot. Jerry is tough (He's a Marine), experienced/knowledgeable, and he can communicate in layman's terms extremely well - which probably comes easy for him because he re...

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in the 90s after a truck cut me off in traffic. I contacted The Pearson Law Firm and Jerry and his staff were immediately helpful.

After my daughter and I got into a very ugly car accident Jerry helped us get it settled against the company that had hit us. He was always available when I had questions and never hesitated to help in anyway he could.
"Jerry Pearson has been practicing law in the Puget Sound for decades. He has helped countless people with injury claims and tried numerous cases to verdict. His experience and ability to spot good claims has made him one of the best attorneys in the area. I endorse Jerry Pearson."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jerry is a wonderful trial attorney and I consider him a friend first, a mentor second, and my co-counsel third. He has tremendous skills in ferreting out the legal issues in a case and we recently were quite successful in litigating a serious motor vehicle crash. Finally, he is willing to go the extra mile for his clients, and is not a stuffed shirt attorney by any means. He truly cares and his results are exemplary."
