Workers Compensation 65%

I have extensive knowledge of the Washington workers compensation system. I have represented injured workers during the claim stage, working with L&I or self-insured employers to ensure benefits are paid when due. I have also successfully represented clients in workers comp appeals before the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals (BIIA) and Superior Court and the Washington Court of Appeals. We represent clients with industrial injuries and occupational diseases; physical, mental, emotional.

Social Security & Disability 35%

From filing your benefit application through the appeals, we work with you and your doctors to ensure that the Social Security Administration has the documents they need to make the best decision. We work on SSDI (recent work history) and SSI (needs based) benefits. I have successfully represented clients with disabilities caused by bad backs, systemic disease, mental illness, learning disabilities and by a combination of conditions including vision and hearing loss.

Gladiator of Gladiators

I was having some serious issues with both my employer and L&I, lack of communication with L&I, my benefits randomly getting cut off, total lack of professionalism IMO. I was referred to Sue Holm by a good friend of mine, I contacted her, told her my story, we discussed terms and I signed her on. IM...MEDIATELY things got Infinitely better for us, payments came on time, if there was ever an issue I'd send off an email to Sue and it was handled promptly. I tried multiple times to gift her money, gift cards etc, because I felt that she was very under paid for the work she was doing, but she denied them every single time. Sue is very passionate and knowledgeable with her work, she doesn't take any gruff off anyone, myself included. If she felt I was doing something out of pocket, or had any issue with me at all, it was very direct and to the point. Which I absolutely love in a person, no beating around the bush, no guess work. I simply can not put into words the gratitude myself and my family have for what she has done for us in our battle against L&I and my employer, we thought we were going to be homeless, lose my job, even have to pay back almost $50,000. But we had a true warrior on our side, and it was worth every single penny. Even though she didn't get enough pennies. I do not recommend anyone else but Sue Holm when I hear someone is having an issue with work related injuries. And if, good forbid, I ever get injured at work again, even if it's a simple paper cut, I'm not doing any thing first before contacting her. She'll hear from me before a doctor sees me. L&I is not there for the workers, they're there for the corporations, you need someone that's there for you, and there simply is no one better than Sue. If she says "do this", GO DO IT! Communicate with her, and listen to her advice. When you need a dog in the fight for you, Sue is the Cane Corso you need.

Disability Social Security application

Sue was an enormous help and she took the time to help me with the application for Social Security as I was not able to go through the application process due to my disability. She was very patient with me, she was Caring and very very thorough with the process and follow up. I feel very lucky to... have found her, as I were looking to other attorneys. Sue was wonderful thank you so much!

Excellent Social Security Disability Attorney

Susan Holm has shown me that there are attorneys out there who do care and want to make sure that they have your best interests at heart. She is extremely knowledgeable and will fight for you until the end. I can't thank her enough for her hard work, determination to get me what I needed, her compa...ssion and effective work ethics. She is amazing.

Amy suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident and lost the ability to focus her eyes. With the help of her doctors, we were able to convince Social Security that she was blind.
