Exceptional, Trustworthy, and Professional

One of our family member was badly hurt after being struck by a Peterbilt truck. He suffered a closed head injury and a spinal injury. He spent years in rehab and used up all of his life savings for medical treatment. After the trucking company blamed him for the crash, I told him that he needed a...n attorney. I helped him find Edward and his team of attorneys. They met us promptly after we called in and provided us with a detailed assessment and a game plan of what to do. They told us that instead of fighting, we should just concentrate on rehab. They helped us get health insurance through the Exchange, then helped us set up payment plans with the collection company. Then, they sue the trucking company and hired many experts to prove that it was their fault. They met with our doctors and came up with a projected medical care plan in the future to assess what our financial needs were and they fought hard in the lawsuit to make sure that the trucking company to supply the funds to cover it. They later helped create a trust to make sure that future medical needs were taken. Throughout the process, Edward and his team were wonderful to work it. They returned all of our calls. They met us at our homes. They took time to get to know us. I am so grateful they were on our side.

Look No Further - The Personal Injury Lawyer You Need to Hire!

Edward K. Le and his firm consistently treated me with respect and dignity instead of just another case. At this firm, they definitely put quality of representation over quantity of representation. In fact, they don’t advertise much like the other law firms. Thus, the clients they do have are given ...the resources necessary for the best legal representation possible. In my case, I was hurt years ago in an industrial injury, falling off a scaffold that was improperly erected. The construction company’s insurance company laughed when I made a claim to get my medical bills and lost wage paid. Edward and his team of lawyers fought hard for years. I was also impressed how they treated me as a person. Whenever Edward or his staff call me with a question, they always asked how I was feeling before they would get to their questions. They even had flowers delivered to my house the day after my surgery for my injury. I don't know how many lawyers actually care about their clients enough to actually do things like that. They were on top of any medical bills that came my way which spared me the hassle of dealing with the health insurance company. Finally, they gave me great advice when it came time to settle my case. I strongly recommend Edward Le to anyone looking for a personal injury lawyer.

Saved me during the worse time in my life

I am very grateful for the attorneys and staff at this firm. I was involved in a car accident as a passenger and was pretty badly injured. I've never thought or imagine in my life being involved in something like this. I was lucky enough to find them. They were not only friendly and caring but were ...very attentive and supportive during this tough time. My injuries prevented me from being able to do the everyday things that I used to do. Edward’s firm helped me reach my recovery and handled the stress of dealing with the insurance company and all the medical bills for me. I met all of the attorneys and the staff that worked on my case, which was a huge relief that I was able to put a face to the voices over the phone. Their location in Renton was easy to find and not far from where I live. I appreciate Edward’s firm and all his staff for helping me get through such a stressful and traumatic experience.

Great Person, Great Attorney Through and Through

Edward Le is a top-notch attorney who puts back compassion in representation. I wholeheartedly recommend him. This was my first experience having to use the services of an attorney. However, after my car accident which left me in severe pain I was hounded by the other insurance company to settle my c...ase within two days of the accident and before I had a chance to see a specialist. The stress of the pain and the constant harassment by them was overwhelming. I reached out to Edward through a friend of the family who is a family law attorney. Edward told me to concentrate on getting better and that he would deal with all legal matters. It couldn't have been truer. A huge stress was lifted off my chest and Edward was amazing from immediately halting the harassing calls from the other company to guiding me through the whole process of getting better. He was on top of my case every step of the way and periodically he would check on my health progress and he would buffer me from all legal matters. I've never been injured before and his expertise in the medical field is phenomenally helpful. He was able to help guide me in identifying the proper medical types of specialist who were finally able to help me. I could not have asked for a better representative to take my case. Although my goal was to get better, the outcome of the case was better than I had expected.

Relentless Advocate

I was involved in a minor accident years ago. A couple of other attorneys turned me down. I called his partner who brought Edward into to handle my case. Although the case was small, Edward really cared about what I was going through and sincerely wanted the best for me. He went up against a toug...h insurance company that didn't want to offer me much. Edward and his team never stopped pursing them and getting them to cooperate expeditiously. It was great that he was so accessible. I never had to leave endless messages for him to call me back and he never passed me off to an associate. He always took my calls and dealt with me personally. My case wasn’t a rain maker but he handled it as if it were. When he told me what the claim was settled for, I couldn’t believe it. I never thought it was going to be so much. It was very refreshing dealing with a man as caring and professional as he was.

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."
