Posted by anonymous | May 15, 2015 | Motorcycle Accident

Highly recommended

Kenneth Selander represented me in a motorcycle vs car accident, in which I incurred severe injuries. I found him to be sincere, trustworthy, kind. caring and considerate at all times. Any time I called or left a message he or his office staff returned my call promptly. Overall, If I had to do it ...all over again--Ken Selander would the first and only representative I would contact.

"I've been a practicing attorney in Seattle for almost 30 years, and I've known Ken Selander since my earliest years in the profession. I've co-counseled several cases with Ken, and know him to be diligent, honest, competent, and an effective communicator. Ken relates very well with people from all walks of life, and obtains great results for his clients. I highly recommend personal injury attorney Ken Selander."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ken Selander is an exception attorney. I have worked with Ken on several matters over the years and find him to be superb in a number of ways. First, Ken is extraordinarily ethical - a client could not be in better, fairer hands than when he or she is represented by Ken. Second, Ken possesses a wealth of legal knowledge. I have often simply called Ken to get an answer about a complex legal question and without looking anything up he is able to recite the relevant law or rule. His mental recall is exceptional. Third and finally, Ken possesses keen judgment - a client will know that when he gets advice from Ken he or she is hearing sound, unbiased judgment. I could not endorse Ken more highly - he is one of the top attorneys I have ever encountered and I will be referring him cases without hesitation for as long as we both practice law."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
