About Phillip

Representing real people harmed by insurance companies and others.

I represent people and small businesses harmed by insurance companies and other wrongdoers. That’s it. There is, of course, more to my story.

Once I moved to Seattle, my work concentrated on insurance bad faith litigation, especially under commercial property, homeowners, and CGL policies. I also continued handling various civil litigation matters, ranging from construction defect litigation to toxic tort cases (pollution, asbestos).

After too long on the wrong side, trying different firms, and practicing in two states, I changed sides and started liking being a lawyer. Now, I apply my years of insurance coverage and litigation experience in service of real people harmed by insurance companies and others. I focus on a small number of compelling cases, including insurance bad faith, medical negligence, employment discrimination, personal injury, and consumer protection matters, in order to give my clients the best service.

Review Phillip Skuda

Excellent & Thoughtful

Posted by

Jason thought of everything that I would need after being struck by a vehicle. He had a really great plan on how to cover all aspects of my recovery and future needs. I found a real friend with Jason and will recommend him anytime.

I highly recommend Jason

Posted by

Jason represented me in a difficult dispute with my employer, which is a very large company. The dispute could have resulted in lengthy litigation. Jason helped me resolve the matter quickly, while keeping my job. My job has been important to me for many years, and I was terrified about losing it. I appreciated Jason’s guidance, honestly, and client-centered advice. I would recommend him to anyone!

Great Employment Law Representation

Posted by

Prior employer withheld pay and 401k monies. They claimed a bunch owed to them and I ended up with a bunch to me. He will fight for you and win.

I met Jason through the Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. I spent many hours in advocacy classes with Jason and had an opportunity to observe him on his feet. It was apparent to me that he is a highly skilled advocate for his clients. I endorse Jason!

I highly recommend Jason Skuda because he has such a huge heart coupled with an excellent knowledge base when it comes to personal injury cases. I attended Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College with Jason Skuda and was so impressed by his skills and ability to reach people. If I or a family member or friend were involved in a personal injury case, I would want to hire Jason Skuda.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

I recently worked with Mr. Skuda on an employment law / contract dispute. I found him to be smart, thorough, and tenacious. He prepared far beyond opposing counsel and gave the client the best possible representation. I highly endorse this lawyer.

Barbara Rhoads-Weaver, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 29, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Jason is knowledgeable, passionate, and thorough. Perhaps more important, he is trustworthy and hard working. I have no reservations in endorsing Jason.
