Great experience, great attorney!

Roger was the attorney that reached out to me after I contacted his office regarding my disability insurance policy. After meeting with Roger and his paralegal I immediately felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Roger was very knowledgeable and able to explain the different aspects of my pol...icy and how we could proceed to move forward from there. I appreciated the game plan that was put in place and how effectively it was executed. There was always direct intention to keep the ball moving and have appropriate information gathered to make our case stronger. Over the course of two years I never felt that an aspect of my case had been forgotten or that I myself was an afterthought to a bigger case they may have had. The entire two years I had the privilege of working with Roger communication has always been prompt and easy. He did a great job of keeping me informed and I always felt that I was a part of the discussion and that my opinion mattered. He was very compassionate and understanding about how our case was effecting us personally and I was very grateful for this. Roger worked with several other people in his office to assist us and the team experience that this provided was very unique and appreciated! It was very different from other law offices that we have worked with on other matters. His paralegal, Alexandria, was fast, efficient, knowledgeable and very thoughtful of ways that she could help both with the case and in making things more convenient or easy when I had to come in with my kids. Roger had a second attorney working with him on my case and while the two of them on their own are both excellent attorney's together they created an amazing team. Thank you Roger, for all your help!

Wrongful Death

My 19 year old son was killed on his second day at work at Pacific Top Soil. Because the L&I laws were written long ago, it was very difficult to find a wrongful death attorney to take on our case. Finally after a year of looking for representation, I was referred to Rodger Davidheiser from Friedman ...& Rubin in Seattle. Before meeting Rodger Davidheiser, he reviewed our case carefully. After several months of reviewing endless documents, my husband and I met with Rodger Davidheiser. My husband and I signed a fee agreement with him and his company and felt confident in Rodger Davidheiser’s professional knowledge of how to approach this case and come to a resolution. Over the course of a year, I remained in close contact with Rodger Davidheiser. He was always available by phone or email if I had questions and he always kept me updated when progress was being made. He always informed me if he would be unavailable due to other client cases or out of Town/State travel. Rodger Davidheiser was able to bring all parties involved in my son’s death to mediation. We settled after a full day of negotiations and avoided a lawsuit and trial. Even after the settlement, Rodger Davidheiser has continued to assist my husband and me in on ongoing criminal investigation on the company. Rodger Davidheiser made himself available for meetings, phone calls and following up with the King County Prosecutor’s office. Rodger Davidheiser has been very professional during this long process, he went above and beyond for my family to see that justice was being done and he was dedicated to making sure this company as well other companies are held responsible for not following protocol. I highly recommend Rodger Davidheiser for representation.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've seen Roger in trial. It would be hard to find anyone better. After years of putting his talent to use prosecuting the worst of the worst, Roger is now focused on seeking civil justice for his clients who have been injured or killed. He has already been remarkably successful in his first civil trials. His clients are fortunate to have them in his corner."
