Excellent Attorney - Patty Kuderer

I had hired Patty Kuderer for an unlawful termination case. She was so compassionate and fought for me with a successful outcome, beyond what I even hoped for. She was amazing and I would highly recommend her!!!!

Attorney Patricia Kuderer Is More Than A Five Star Attorney

There is not enough words to say what a Blessing it was to find Attorney Patricia Kuderer to represent me in an employment case against City Hall. She was there for me 100 percent to pursue justice for me. She a kind and caring person and always made me feel comfortable through this emotional peri...od in my life. She is a fighter and persevered in a justified settlement for me. Very Grateful!

YOU CAN FIGHT CITY HALL WITH PATRICIA ON YOUR SIDE

Patricia was a God-send. When I thought there was no hope, a friend referred me to Patricia. She is honest and straight forward and keeps you informed about your case. She told me from the beginning my employment case would be a partnership and she would be in it for the duration, and she was. Pa...tricia is knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, detail oriented, and she will aggressively fight for you. She was easily accessible and made me feel like I was her only client. She knew my case inside and out and when my case began to require more hours than manageable, Patricia found another highly qualified attorney to join. After nearly two years, my case settled for almost 1 million dollars (which is unheard of in Eastern Washington). If you have been wronged by an employer, I highly recommend Patricia.

I am the other lawyer, Stephen Teller. Ms. Kuderer did a great job on this case and this great result is due in large part to her hard work and detail-oriented pursuit of justice for this client. Congratulations Kathy I was proud to be your lawyer.

A godsend.

Patricia Kuderer gets good results. She has experience and talent. If you have been in a bad accident and need an attorney, Patricia Kuderer is a wise choice. I am a working mother with no experience in the insurance world that’s filled with its own language and rules. After being in a hit, rolle...d, totaled and then run accident by a drugged out addict with a suspended license my family had threats of collection agencies and outlandish bills. Even with her on our side the insurance company fought tooth and nail to not reimburse us with the coverage we had paid for. But with her meticulous records, professional skill and steel perseverance she won for my family a decent settlement that helped us put our lives back together. Bravo, and thanks again!

Employment contract review

I've worked with a number of different attorneys over the years for a variety needs and Ms. Kuderer rates up there with the best of them. I was being laid off from my job and my employer wanted me to sign a separation agreement in exchange for a severance package. She reviewed the contract and found ...some subtle issues that would have worked out well for my former employer and not so well for me. She came up with some suggested changes and recommended the best strategy for how to present them to my former employer so that they would be accepted without pushback. I'll add that at times the situation was very time sensitive and when necessary she was able to work with me to turn things around unbelievably quickly in those instances. I would be more than confident in retaining her in her other areas of practice as well if the need ever arises.
