About Michael

I was born and raised in Seattle, and am pleased to practice in our great Pacific Northwest. This is my home. I graduated from law school in 1984 and went to work for the Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. This provided an opportunity to develop trial skills and the ability to present cases to judges and juries.

From 1986-1990, I was the managing attorney for the main Seattle Office for Hyatt Legal Services. This position provided an opportunity to analyze and solve various issues that confront a general practice such as: Domestic Relations, Criminal Defense, Bankruptcy, Real Estate, Wills, and miscellaneous consumer matters. It also provided many opportunities to practice in State and Federal court.

From 1990-97, I was an insurance defense attorney for the Seattle law firm of Alexander & Bierman. For several years, I defended hundreds of cases on the insurance company's behalf. I know how insurance companies value claims and the techniques they employ in an effort to detract from the value of a claim.

In 1997, I opened my own law practice. I specialize in representing people injured by the negligence of others against the insurance company.  

My mission is to utilize over 30 years of experience to obtain the best outcome in settlement or trial for my clients. I give thoughtful attention to all facts and legal issues, give you information about your rights, evaluate your claim with an experienced eye, and significantly increase the amount of compensation you receive. I impart realistic objectives and provide the services needed to realize those objectives.  Let me use my experience from years of defending the insurance company to your advantage.

Review Michael Mazon

Best Choice

Posted by

I’m not a person prone to writing reviews. My positive experience dealing with Seattle Law Offices and, specifically, Mike Mazon compelled me to do so. I was involved in a car accident in which I sustained injury’s to my neck and back. I needed help. I knew I would need someone who would fight for me. From the minute I walked into Mazon’s office, I felt comfortable with Mike and his staff. They made me feel important. They were professional without being stuffy. They didn’t talk above me and made sure I understood what was happening throughout the entire process. That was vital to me. Most importantly, Mike worked with me. Not just for me. I knew I had come to the right place. I retained Mike and his staff, then and there. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I was involved in a rear-end accident on Interstate 5 in Seattle. I called Mr. Mazon on the day after my accident because I was experiencing headaches, neck and back pain. Mr. Mazon and his staff eased my concerns and helped me negotiate a fair settlement for my injuries. He answered all of my questions and took away all the stress of working with the insurance company, all I had to do was work on getting better. I recommend Seattle Law Offices of Michael Mazon wholeheartedly. You won’t be disappointed.

Recommendation / Michael E. Mazon

Posted by

I hired Mr. Mazon to represent us in two cases with successful outcomes that exceeded my expectations. We found him to be compassionate and he and his staff were courteous and communicative through the process. I don't recommend people lightly, but I have recommended Mr. Mazon to three different friends who have sought out his expertise and each had similarly successful results. Competency and experience count; and Mr. Mazon has a wealth of both.

Best Attorney In Seattle!

I retained Michael Mazon in the past on two occasions. Both of these occasions involved motor vehicle accidents where I sustained injury. I tried to represent myself and speak to insurance company representatives. All I received in return was "the runaround" which only served to increase my frustration. I retained Michael Mazon and he took over where I left off. The difference was he was able to obtain excellent results. He relieved me of all of my worries so I could concentrate on my treatment and the resolution of my injuries. If you are injured in an accident, you must contact Michael Mazon. He will fight for you!

I hired Michael Mazon to represent me when I was rear ended on I-5. He resolved it quickly. He and his staff are knowledgeable and concerned. They knew what had to be done and they did it without me having to spend my valuable time calling them. When I had to call them they responded immediately. It is nice to work with a professional.

Michael Mazon did an outstanding job on my case. My car was rear-ended and I received chiropractic and massage for my neck and back injuries. After a short period of time, my PIP insisted I had an exam with an IME. Shortly after that, my PIP cut me off from any further treatment. However, my chiropractor continued to treat me as he knew I needed it. Michael started working on my case about one year later and he got my PIP re-opened, sent me to another chiropractor for an evaluation and was able to settle my case with the at-fault insurance company for higher than I believe any lawyer could. I highly recommend Michael Mazon. Throughout the process, he has remained persevering, professional and dedicated. He and his legal assistant, Olga, were truly a pleasure to work with!

Michael Mazon Is A Great Attorney!

I hired Mr. Mazon after interviewing 3 other attorneys and am pleased that I did so. I found Michael Mazon to be attentive to my case, prompt in his communications, empathetic to my injuries, and felt that he did a terrific job of representing me. I also felt that I was never treated like a "number" as I was afraid would be the case with the other attorney's I interviewed (one kept referring to me by the wrong name.) I also very much appreciated the fact that I didn't have to drive in downtown Seattle traffic and walk through parking garages to visit his office. I was in a lot of pain when I met with all the attorneys and dealing with street parking and walking through garages was very painful. At Mr. Mazon's office I conveniently pulled right up to his entrance and encountered no parking fees either. I would definitely recommend this attorney and have referred several other people to him as well.

Mike is a former judge and exceptional lawyer. He has experience you can count on. I have known Mike on a personal level. He is well known within the legal community. I would give my whole hearted recommendation for any personal injury case.

David Bierman, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 7, 2020
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Mike since meeting him 38 years ago while attending the same law school. After that, for a number of years, we worked together at the same law firm. This has given me the unique perspective of watching Mike's growth not only as a person but also as a lawyer. Mike possesses all of the attributes one needs when deciding to hire a lawyer. He is personable and treats others with respect. He makes it a point to get along with opposing counsel because he knows this inures to his client's benefit. One of Mike's biggest attributes is how much he cares for his clients and their cases. They are not just numbers. Each client is treated as if there's is the only case that matters. Mike's ability to navigate the insurance maze and his attention to detail and persuasive advocacy make he and his office a great choice for anyone seeing advice or representation in this area.

Paul Ayan, Slip and fall accident Attorney on Feb 4, 2020

I highly endorse Mr. Mazon. He is very knowledgeable in this area of the law and is dedicated to providing his clients with the very best legal representation. I have referred several people with potential claims to Mr. Mazon and he has done an amazing job for them, his work is top notch.

Adam Trotsky, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 5, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Mr. Mazon is one of the primary reasons I am an attorney today. During my college years, while working at his firm, I watched Mike work diligently with his clients while helping them solve their problems. Mike's tenatious attitude and dedication, along with his love for helping people, makes him one of the finest personal injury advocates I have ever met. I feel very confident referring dear friends to Mr. Mazon based on his desire to reach the best resolution for his clients.

Jeffrey Foster, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 11, 2007
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Mazon on several personal injury matters. As co-counsel, I found Mike to be an aggressive and compassionate advocate for his client while maintaining the highest level of professionalism and ethical standards. As such, I unequivocally endorse Mike Mazon as an attorney and advocate for the injured.
