Car Accident 65%

While studying to become a lawyer under the Washington State Bar Association Rule 6 Program, I worked full-time as a paralegal and have worked on many auto collisions, motorcycle collisions, and pedestrian/sidewalk cases.

65%
Employment and Labor 10%

Now that I am a member of the Bar, David Burkett, a partner at my firm, has asked me to assist him in this area of law, which he has been practicing for quite sometime. We just recently settled one case, which I was able to be of assistance.

Medical Malpractice 10%

Again, while studying to become a lawyer under the Washington State Bar Association Rule 6 Program, I have worked on many medical malpractice cases, two of which went to trial and I attended and assisted throughout the entire process. I have also assisted Lee Burdette, a partner at my firm, with vaccine cases under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. These cases involve learning and understanding medicine as well.

Awesome.

Kelly recently helped me file a case with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program. She was very thorough and easy to talk to. She made the process easy by explaining each step and answered all my questions quickly and accurately. I would highly recommend Kelly and her firm for excellent ser...vice in regard to a vaccine injury claim.

All around great lawyer.

I have worked with Kelly for just shy of a year, she has been very professional the entire time we worked together. She is very assertive and keeps you informed every step of the way. If there was a question she did not have the answer to she was very good at giving me the accurate information she di...d have and then kindly let me know she would get back to me on whatever she may have been unclear of. This was important to me because she was not giving me incorrect information. It was very admirable that she was able to be completely honest. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Kelly before my case was settled however she ability to conduct business over the phone and when was convenient to me which made my life easier. She was always available after regular business hours to get information to me after my work day if it was necessary. Somehow I still was able to get to know her without ever meeting her first. I feel she represented me to her fullest and did a great job doing so. I enjoyed her fiery spirit throughout the process and you can tell she is very passionate about her job and her clients wants/needs. I would hire her again and refer her to anyone who may be in need of her specialties.

Best attorney I've ever dealt that brings outstanding results!

I was involved in a car accident where the at fault driver attempted to blame the accident on me after they ran a red light. Long story short: Police report regarding the accident was not in my favor, my car was totaled and I was getting nowhere with my insurance. I ended up contacting a few lawyers... for some advice hoping to resolve this case with minimal expectations I had in mind ( Car repair / medical expenses to be paid for / getting the accident facts straightened out with my insurance company ). From the moment I spoke with Kelly and her partners at her law firm, I knew I could trust them to handle this case with ease. Within our first discussion regarding the details of the accident, they were able to understand my side of the story as well as well as pull up all the discrepancies from the police report. They were able to use the above information to pick apart the opposing drivers statement and to show that they were clearly at fault in this accident. The result: Not only were all my medical bills paid for and my car taken care of, Kelly was able to settle this case for full policy limits against the opposing drivers insurer. She did an outstanding job from start, all the way to the end. She was well prepared, worked hard all the way to the end was prepared to take this to trial if needed. She was able to settle without having to go to trial with the results that were above and beyond my expectations. Throughout the process she kept me informed with important information about the case and positive news. Outstanding results from an outstanding lawyer!

Auto Personal Injury Review

Kelly was the lead plaintiff's attorney on my case. It involved a rear-end collision with my vehicle. I incurred a spinal injury to a preexisting condition that morphed into severe pain and difficulty walking. I eventually had to take an indefinite disability leave from my part-time professional ...pilot employment, early retirement from my professionally-accredited full-time management position and extensive spinal surgery. Kelly was successful in securing the best available outcome with policy limits settlements from the defendant's auto policy and my UIM policy. This was directly attributable to her strategic plan of attack, knowledge of the law and previous professional interactions with key insurance attorneys.

Really great representation

Kelly was on top of our case and got us a fair deal. We were so pleased that she represented us and was through and knowledgable.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. She was very professional and did not play games. She was clearly passionate over insuring her clients needs were being met without being over zealous and thus hindering the possibility of negotiating a settlement that was fair to both sides. I would recommend her as an advocate and I would work with her as counsel."
