Dan Johnson, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 4, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse Arthur. As opposing counsel, the best endorsement I could give is "if I needed an attorney, I would hire him." He is a tenacious advocate for his clients while maintaining a great working relationship with opposing counsel.
Simon Forgette, Personal injury Attorney on May 1, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Arthur on numerous cases and find him to be an excellent lawyer who is highly motivated and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Arthur.
James Mcgowan, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 7, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Arthur and I just concluded a rather complex injury case and his handling was characterized by candor and integrity. He has worked both sides so he understands the vagaries of insurance defense without sacrificing any zeal in the representationof hte injured.
Hilary Mohr, Car accident Attorney on May 9, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
As opposing counsel in a case, I observed Arthur working tirelessly for his client while maintaining professional courtesy. He is clearly a dedicated and experienced advocate.
Vivienne Alpaugh, Litigation Attorney on May 8, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I was opposing counsel on a automobile accident personal injury action with Arthur. He displayed a great deal of professionalism and treated my client with respect.
William Weber, Personal injury Attorney on May 4, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I've worked with Arthur in the past and more recently been opposing counsel on a number of cases. He throughly works up a case before filing so that I get a comprehensive package that allows me to easily evaluate his clients' claims and makes for an easier discovery and settlement process. He serves his clients well.
Kerry Gress, Litigation Attorney on Jun 20, 2011
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Arthur and I sat opposite each other on a large multi-party suit. I would not hesitate to recommend Arthur, whom I believe is a skilled advocate and litigator. It was a pleasure to work with Arthur. His demeanor and integrity were refreshing.
Raymond Bishop, Personal injury Attorney on May 23, 2011
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Mr. Leritz was defense counsel on a case where his high profile Fortune 500 corporate client was sued by an injured individuaI represented by Bishop Law Offices. The case was tried to verdict in King County Superior Court. Mr. Leritz litigated the case by himself. Bishop Law Offices, on the other hand, assigned two attorneys (a principal and an associate) to try the case against Mr. Leritz and his client. The jury was interviewed following the verdict, and their endorsement of Mr. Leritz was to the point when they announced that he was "extremely professional." After a long case, and a contentious trial, I could not agree more. I endorse Arthur Leritz. - Raymond Bishop
Jack Hanemann, Personal injury Attorney on May 10, 2011

I was an opposing counsel on a significant case with Art Leritz. Art is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and caring lawyer. He conducted himself with professional courtesy. He seeks the best result possible with earnest diligence and is well-respected by judges and his peers. When you need a lawyer who will really fight for you, you cannot go wrong with Art.

I have worked with Arthur on several very complex cases and he has displayed a superior knowledge of the law and sciences in several complex fields.
Viivi Vanderslice, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 6, 2011

Arthur is a true professional and his clients are lucky to have him. I've had the opportunity to work with Arthur both on the defense and plaintiff side and he has always served his clients well.
Michael Maxwell, Brain injury Attorney on Apr 6, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Arthur is an outstanding client advocate. He pays close attention to detail, listens closely, and can make his client's case very well.
Karen Koehler, Car accident Attorney on Apr 5, 2011
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Former defense lawyers can make pretty darn good plaintiff lawyers. Having gone that route myself, I know first hand. We can anticipate what the defense is going to do. So we build good strong plaintiff cases. Arthur's standout characteristics are his good humor, kindness and integrity even when fighting a lawsuit. I'm very happy that he changed sides and is now a plaintiff trial lawyer.
Steven Shaw, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 5, 2011
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I first met Arthur when I was a newly minted lawyer almost ten years ago. I was the junior associate on a personal injury case where my firm represented an injured driver. Arthur represented the at-fault driver and we worked together on a number of issues. What stood out about Arthur, and what continues to stand out about him, is his devotion to his clients and their causes. No matter what side of the cause he is on, if he agrees to represent someone, he applies all of his talents and efforts at getting that client the best outcome.
David Mordekhov, Personal injury Attorney on Mar 15, 2011
Relationship: Co-worker
Arthur is a very capable lawyer with disarming disposition and great measure of competence. He has been my mentor and friend for over 8 years. You know you are a good trial lawyer when after trial the client of your opposing counsel asks you for your business card. That is a true story about Arthur.
Paul Veillon, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 5, 2010
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the pleasure of working opposite Mr. Leritz on a serious construction site injury case in 2003. I found him to be a courteous and professional counsel who treated my client with respect and dignity. During discovery, he was open and cooperative; he properly resisted discovery to protect his client without being unreasonably obstructive. He asked excellent questions during my clients' and his providers' depositions. In motion practice he presented well-researched and well-reasoned arguments. At trial he was amiable, presented well to the jury, and was prepared on the legal and factual issues of the case. I would recommend Mr. Leritz highly, and I am thankful that he has decided to begin representing injured persons seeking justice.
John Drotz, Personal injury Attorney on Sep 22, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer's work.
