Katharine Witter Brindley

Katharine Brindley has had a growing trial practice for the past 25 years defending health care clients in medical malpractice matters and those facing disciplinary issues with state licensing authorities. For example, Ms. Brindley successfully defended a local hospital in a four-week jury trial by a claimant with bilateral leg amputations. The jury was unanimous in its verdict that there was no negligence by any health care professional.

 Ms. Brindley has also developed a statewide reputation for her defense of health care professionals facing disciplinary and licensing disputes with the state of Washington. Most notably, she successfully defended a popular physician accused of smothering an infant. After months of investigation and a four-day hearing involving complicated issues of what constitutes life and death, the physician's license was restored.

 With a background in registered nursing, Ms. Brindley is prepared to handle a wide variety of medical issues and regularly works with specialists in all areas of medicine and surgery. She also serves as a frequent guest speaker at area nursing schools and regularly works with local hospitals on issues of risk management and health care business transactions.
