Great personal injury lawyer

After I was in a very bad car accident in a rural Washington community, my wife and I found Paul and he helped us thru the difficult process with steadfast devotion to my recovery from my injuries. He is very though in his understanding of the insurance industry and acting as a willing advocate for h...is client. I am very happy with his service.

Geico can be a bully

Paul and his team are an excellent, thorough and hard working group. Don't let big insurance companies play the bully in your personal injury case, your health is far too important! Paul was there for me from the beginning and persevered with me over a long 1.5+yr recovery process. He was though...tful and professional, and insisted on a diligent care regiment towards recovery, even when I was feeling "better". In the end my case was settled at a more than satisfactory outcome, both physically and financially. Whatever your legal needs may be, I genuinely hope that you consider hiring Paul and his staff to defend your case. They are a quality team and their expertise in the area really matters! Ryan

Legal Malpractice Risk

Paul Veillon was working for the Wattel & York Firm when he was my attorney in 2013. I followed Paul's advice and took my car to the automotive repair shop that was not in my area because he repeatedly told me to get the best service and support I needed to go to that specific shop. Also following ...his advice I did visit his choice of chiropractors for my pain issues. The chiropractor was great, however the issue with my car was mis-handled. Paul called me to tell me that the insurance company totaled the car and the amount they would pay covers the remaining balance on the loan of my car. He told me the car shop wanted to purchase it for x amount and was that ok with me. I told him as long as the car loan would be paid off it's no difference to me where the car ends up, especially since I have no idea what happens to totaled cars. Unfortunately his letting the shop pay for the car nullified my gap insurance requiring I pay a very substantial balance. Paul left the firm around that time but the firm said they would pay the difference on my loan but only if I signed a document promising I would not sue them for mal-practice. In light of how Paul mis-handled my car, placing me in a very difficult position, I can not offer a positive review, and I would encourage people to find a more competent attorney. If a MVA attorney isn't aware of how to handle a totaled car without risking their clients gap insurance they are not very qualified in their field.

This circumstance did arise at unfortunate timing. As Brenda mentioned, I left Wattel & York just as her total loss claim was resolving. I left Wattel & York for a reason. As a leading property damage and diminished value attorney had I been able to handle that portion of the claim to its conclusion, two things would have been different. First, as soon as we discovered the issue with the GAP coverage I would have insisted that the insurance company pay to total the vehicle rather than permitting the body shop to purchase it, or else required the shop to pay the loan balance for the privilege of purchasing the vehicle. I'm not sure why Wattel & York didn't do that after I left the firm. Second, I would have never, ever conditioned taking responsibility for a problem on a client's promising not to bring a malpractice claim. At Galileo Law, if we're responsible for a mistake, we step up, no questions asked. It's part of our ethical obligations as well as our firm's White Glove Service Guarantee. But having encountered this problem many times, the outcome is fair and favorable when I can handle the issue to its conclusion. I'm very sorry for Brenda's experience.

Great help & support!

We have been working with Paul (& Anna) over the past four years on two different accidents (both rear-ends). Paul is well-versed in personal injury & has a great understanding of the process and procedures necessary to file and complete a claim. Every step of the procedure he kept us up to date and ...even sent e-documents of anything he filed in court. We were able to settle both cases before trial which we very much appreciated. Paul was up-front and fair with his fee, even getting us a bit more than we had originally understood. While personal injury cases tend to drag on (for much longer than you would expect) Paul & Anna were both pleasant to work with, and we knew that we were well-represented in our cases.

Thanks Paul! - Best attorney in the PNW

If you are ever involved in a car accident Paul is the one to call. I was hit twice on the road and he was able to help me through the whole process. He worked with the insurance companies and my chiropractor to make sure I was taken care of. He is very dedicated and made me feel like I was the only ...case he was working on. I felt cared for. Do not hesitate to call Paul for help, he settled my cases in a very timely manner! Highly recommended.
