Gary Nicolas Gosanko's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Gosanko is an outstanding attorney, with a proven track record of achieving great results for his clients."
"I endorse Gary. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I highly endorse Mr. Gosanko. He is experienced in this area of the law and committed to providing his clients with the very best legal representation."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Gary Gosanko is one of the best litigators in the business. His experience with and knowledge of lawyers, judges, cases, and trial techniques never ceases to be of assistance to me as a fellow litigator and mentee. He is a fountainhead of original ideas for solving complex legal problems, and he spends the time necessary to explore every new angle in order to earn the best result for his clients. I'm not aware of any other Washington attorney capable of earning a million dollar jury verdict for a soft issue injury case. Perhaps most importantly, Gary Gosanko is a good and steadfastly honest man. He is respected by his employees, clients, judges, and opposing counsel alike."
"I've watched Gary in trial, consulted with him on numerous difficult cases, and worked in his office for four years. He's the first guy to the office, the busiest guy in the office, and many nights he is the last guy to leave. He LOVES his job. He wins big results. When it comes to knowing the right questions to ask in a personal injury case, he's the quickest, sharpest mind in the room. He has the traits of a great trial lawyer, and results that prove it. When you talk to Gary obout a case that is gearing up for trial, you see total focus and preparation. You can tell he makes each client's fight the most important fight at the critical times."
