I do not litigate and have sent multiple clients to Justin as litigation needs have arisen. Justin has been a lifesaver for me and my clients because of his thoroughness, careful and personal attention to clients' needs, and motivation to achieve a fast settlement.

William Kimberly, Personal injury Attorney on May 17, 2013

Ryan Carson, Elder law Attorney on Aug 1, 2011
Relationship: Co-worker
Justin and I were colleagues in law school, and again at Stritmatter Kessler Whelan Coluccio, where we worked as law clerks. I have personally observed his dogged pursuit of the facts in a matter, and I was and continue to be impressed by his diligence and commitment to ferreting out the truth and obtaining the best result for his clients.
I have known Justin for several years. What inspires me most about Justin is his compassion for his clients and tireless devotion to obtaining justice on their behalf. He is also extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I have enjoyed working with him in the past and look forward to working with him more in the future.

A great lawyer!
James Kytle, Car accident Attorney on Jul 26, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer's work. Justin has exhibited unique talents in analyzing legal issues. This ability relates in part to his prior work as a law clerk at the Washington Supreme Court. Given his strong work ethic and his clever legal mind, he is a real asset on any case.
Karl Malling, Personal injury Attorney on Jul 2, 2010
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
I endorse this lawyer's work. I knew Justin for well over a year before I asked him to join my firm as an associate. He had all the necessary tools plus many other assets. Two of the most important assets were: 1) His heart is in the right place. He is passionate about doing the right thing for the right reason - being there for the voiceless, the injured, the wronged -- the victims of big insurance and government abuse; and 2) He has the heart of a trial lawyer. You can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice. When you combine intellect, courage, righteous indignation, passion, compassion, dedication and instinct with great communication skills - you get a superb trial lawyer. Justin has all the ingredients and will soon be trying cases from start to finish on his own, as an associate. His trial performance so far has been excellent, driven by the will to win for his clients.
Walter Williams, Personal injury Attorney on Jun 3, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Justin’s commitment to justice is unmatched. He is dedicated and hardworking. I have known Justin for about five years and he has always exhibited an outstanding work ethic and intelligence. Justin has a passion for the law that a lot of lawyers lack. I know I can refer clients to Justin without any hesitation.
Andrew Ackley, Personal injury Attorney on Jan 25, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have worked with Justin on many cases. He is incredibly sharp and is passionate about his work and his service to his clients.
David Norman, Personal injury Attorney on Oct 16, 2009
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Justin Walsh is a tremendously hard working and diligent lawyer who has made a name for himself in his field in a very short period of time. Few lawyers I know will work as hard for their clients, and as passionately, as Justin does for his. He takes his work seriously, and works harder at improving his craft than anyone I know. I can honestly say it is only a matter of time before he is at or near the top of the list for lawyers in his field. I endorse Justin Walsh.
