Peace of Mind

I found a treasure when I met Christine Foster and staff for the first time. I struggled for more then 10 years with L&I. Imagine my peace when Foster Law took my case and reassured me they would help. They had an attorney who represented me at the Industrial board meeting. I lost that arbitration bu...t they based their decision on a drug they said I took. My attorney contacted the doctor and testified that I did not take that drug and we settled for a life long pension. I have found this Law office to be empathetic, honest, fair, hard working, and they know what they are doing.

Wonderful Service

Foster law was great in my Workers comp fight with the notorious Sedgwick company . For over 3 years they protected my rights while Sedgwick tried every underhanded trick to take away my WC benefits. Foster laws paralegals and attorneys were there every step of the way and they got me a bigger set...tlement then I expected!! Thank You Foster Law Deborah S. Seattle WA

Honest and Helpful

My consultation with Christine and her associate was what turned my claim around. They gave me advice that got my claim allowed and the medical treatment I needed. They referred me to a doctor they knew, and told me to come back if I hit any more road blocks. Christine was great

Foster Law in Seattle Washington represented my husband after a work injury in 1991. They fought hard for his rights and were consistently supportive and available to him. In 2004 Dave passed away from complications from the accident. I contacted Foster law to inform them, to find out if I needed t...o do anything else to close the case. This was after almost a year had passed. After offering condolences they asked me if I would be filing for widows benefits. I had no idea and was so deep in my grief, raising our children and trying to survive in this new world- it hadn't even occurred to me to ask. Because they brought it to my attention before the year had passed I was able to file and receive benefits which have helped support my family. I am forever grateful for the kindness and support they offered Dave while he was alive. They never minimized his pain or injury. They offered retraining and counselling that Dave needed to adjust to living in chronic pain. They offered me countless hours on the phone, I can't think of a single time they were too busy for me- yes, there were call backs. But they always responded quickly. I did call them, a few short weeks before the time had run out to file a widows claim. But I was not a client at that time. I was immediately connected to Dave's lawyer who was very familiar with his case. He took over my case and followed through. Thank you Foster Law for fighting for Dave. Thank you for fighting for me and my children. Thank you for a little justice in a God-awful situation.

OUTSTANDING - PRICELESS

I could write a long review about my lawyer Christine Foster, she is amazing, trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way. I had a very hard case with L & I and I thought that it was going to be bad, but she made everything better. I would say if you don't hir...e her you will be making a mistake, trust me. Thank you so much. Christine. Sharon-Mills
