Supreme Car Accident and Brain Injury Lawyer

Edward Le and his team fought for my case diligently which led to outstanding results. I suffered life altering injuries as a result of multiple auto accidents, one of which involved being rear-ended by a box truck. Scheduling and attending a consultation with Edward and his team was the best first s...tep I took and it left me with confidence that I have an attorney by my side who is willing to help me recover the most for my injuries. He worked super hard to reach an excellent result for me, and did a superb job answering any questions I had. Edward has a strong reputation in the legal industry which is well earned through his care for his clients and track record of successfully winning many cases and settlements. I would highly recommend Edward as he's very respectful to his clients, dedicated to fighting for the best results, and always on top of things. Edward and his firm is unmatched as there are no other alternatives in the area that offer the superior level of experience and expertise, especially in fighting the insurance companies. I am a very satisfied client of Edward and know you will become another satisfied client of his. Please take my word and choose him to represent you in fighting for fair compensation for your injuries.

A very good lawyer

I was treated very well by the attorneys and the office staff. The staff was very polite and responsive to my requests for help and I was able to meet the attorney on a weeknight and he took a lot of time talking to me about legal options on my case. I received a lot of good and practical advice th...at took away my anxiety dealing with the insurance company on my accident case. I retain them and they kept in constant contact with me. They represented me effectively and help me resolve my case in a way that made me happy.

Trustworthy, Honest, and Highly Capable

My wife & I were involved in a car wreck in Bremerton years ago. We both suffered lower back injuries, mine worse than hers. My wife couldn’t work for weeks while I was a little luckier. The other guy was at fault but his insurance company tried to "cheap skate" on our claim, using the typical deny... & delay tactic. After being left with no other option, we engage the services of a personal injury attorney and came upon Mr. Le. Just before the Statute of Limitations ran out, Mr Le was able to secure a settlement with the insurance company for both of us. Throughout the process, we found Mr. Le to be knowledgeable, attentive to our needs, and gave us trustworthy advice. As people who were never in a crash before, Mr. Le made us feel comfortable in understanding the legal concepts, doctrines, and other subtleties of the law. We would have no problem recommending Mr. Le to anyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

Posted by anonymous | February 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Trucking Accident

Simply the best lawyer you can find!

I could tell Edward was a great lawyer from our first meeting. I was struck by a truck that cut into my lane and totaled my car. Worse, he blamed us for causing the wreck. We were choosing between several attorneys and I purposely brought my wife with me to the meetings to get her opinion. Out of ...a few lawyers, Edward was the one both of us liked the most. He was flexible with time, met us when I called last minute, and was straight up and honest. After taking over, he successfully secured settlements for me from two different insurance companies involved – the truck drivers and mine. Edward and his team were with me every step of the way. He kept me informed and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable in the law regarding all aspects of my case, which made me feel confident and secure. I would highly recommend him and his organization to anyone needing a great attorney.

Great Lawyer!

We hired Ed in October of 2015 to handle my wife’s TBI case after the first attorney basically did nothing for 3 months. Ed met with us on a Sunday and gave us loads of information we had been missing out on about the trauma my wife had endured and had a list of specialists who could get her back on ...track. He filed suit immediately and was able to negotiate a settlement after depositions and before a trial. We were able to get the whole thing settled June of this year and he is continuing to help with negotiating the ERISA lien. Thanks to Ed’s tireless efforts and helpful knowledge not only were we able to get my wife on the road to recovery, but also piece of mind with the case settled in a timely fashion. I only wish we had hired Ed sooner before we messed around with a less experienced attorney. Five stars!

Edward K. Le's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Edward
Steven Gary Toole headshot
Steven Toole

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Ed for over ten years and have served as the mediator in several of his cases over the last few years. In my experience, Ed aggressively prepares all his cases as though they are going to trial and, as a result, is in a powerful negotiating position at mediation. In those cases that have not settled, he has gone to trial and frequently obtained jury verdicts substantially higher than the settlement value and often, well in excess of the defendant's insurance policy limits. He is an excellent advocate for his clients."

"As they often say in our profession, success is never based on luck but on the level of work and preparation an attorney puts in a case.

I know this because I have personally referred cases to Edward and co-counsel with Edward on several difficult cases and we have achieved remarkable results. together."
