Pat Trudell has no downside
Pat won my case with an award that was double what I would have settled for out of court. He is amazing in the courtroom. The jury listens to Pat, he doesn't waste their time. Pat is professional, smart and personable. You will enjoy watching Pat win your case.
"Pat is a very successful attorney with decades of experience. He has obtained amazing resolutions and verdicts for his clients.

"Pat is an excellent legal mind, and does a fantastic job advocating for his clients. I would refer with confidence."
"I endorse Pat Trudell's work. Pat is a professional who not only possesses expertise in personal injury but he also posseses a trait found in so few. He is a compassionate attorney who truly cares about his clients and the rights of injured persons. He approaches each case with passion, skill, and dedication. His success is due, in my opinion, to the fact that he treats every client as an individual and not merely as a case or file number. Most importantly, he will provide an honest assessment of a case and works hard to ensure that his clients get the very best representation. I have had the opportunity to be opposing counsel against him and to work together with him on cases. I have the highest amount of respect for him as an attorney and as a person."

Pat is simply the best."
""Pat Trudell is a hard working advocate for his clients. His efforts are unmatched, and he is extremely creative in obtaining superior results for his clients. Pat is well respected by his peers and the courts; he has achieved great success in courts all across the State of Washington. He is a superb attorney.""
