Andre Egle has practiced law as a litigation attorney since 2004.  Andre is a long-term resident of the Seattle area and a member of the Washington State Bar.  He is a zealous and compassionate advocate for his clients.  Andre has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad variety of disputes that fall within an area of litigation practice commonly referred to as commercial litigation.  Specifically, Andre has prosecuted and defended federal and state court cases involving claims for: (1) breach of commercial contracts; (2) violation of federal antitrust statutes; misappropriation of trade secrets; (3) insurance coverage and bad faith; (4) legal and medical malpractice; (5) employment discrimination; (6) products liability; (7) defective construction; (8) municipal liability; (9) personal injury; (10) breach of real estate purchase and sale agreements; and (11) various business torts.  Most of the cases that Andre has worked on involved millions of dollars in claimed damages.  At the same time, Andre has helped small businesses and individuals to resolve many smaller scale disputes. 

As a litigator, Andre has an in-depth knowledge of and experience in all aspects of a pretrial practice, including drafting pleadings; conducting written discovery and taking and defending depositions; preparing and responding to discovery and dispositive motions; and drafting pretrial orders and motions in limine.  Because of the complexity of many of his cases, Andre has closely worked with various expert witnesses, has evaluated various scientific reports, and has drafted Daubert motions in limine in the cases pending in the federal courts. 

Andre graduated with High Honors from the University of Washington School of Law, where he served as an Articles Editor on Washington Law Review, and participated in regional mock trial competitions as a member of the Moot Court Honor Board.  Upon his graduation from law school, Andre was awarded a membership in the Order of the Coif and the Order of Barristers.  Prior to engaging in a private practice of law, Andre spent a year serving as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable John C.
