About Alexandra

Prior to opening The Filutowski Law Firm, PLLC, I worked for prominent Seattle litigation firms, representing seriously injured individuals against insurance companies.  I have brought justice to my clients through hundreds of negotiations, arbitrations, mediations and trial.

 

A Seattle area native, I lecture on law at her alma mater, the University of Washington, and am an active member of the Puget Sound community.   I volunteer with the King County Bar Association Bilingual Spanish Legal Clinic, helping Spanish speakers access legal aid.  I am an active board member of the Washington State Association for Justice, King County Washington Women Lawyers Board and American Bar Association Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.

 

Following the 2002 Enron scandal, I helped pioneer the nation’s leading academic center on business ethics and corporate governance as a Founding Fellow of The Center on Corporations, Law & Society at Seattle University School of Law.  I have worked on some of the more prominent cases in the field including the Corrie v. Caterpillar case that alleged the aiding and abetting of human rights violations under the Alien Tort Claims Act.

 

In 2005, I studied alternative dispute resolution among Harvard Business School faculty and European lawyers at the University of Rome in Rome, Italy, and assisted in the negotiation of international sales contracts at General Electric Oil & Gas in Florence, Italy.

 

 

I graduated with honors (Dean’s List, Phi Beta Kappa) from University of Washington, Seattle – Business School  (B.A., Business Administration), and I hold a J.D. from Seattle University School of Law (where I excelled in Moot Court and was inducted into the National Order of the Barristers). I am admitted to practice in Washington State.

Review Alexandra Filutowski

Excellent, Efficient, Effective

Posted by

Alexandra completely understood my sensitive matter at hand. With kindness and understanding and professionalism, she drafted the document I needed efficiently, and covered all angles needed, even ones I was not aware of. In communication, acknowledging every concern.
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
Hired attorney

Highly recommended

Posted by

Alexandra was wonderful to work with. I was in a motorcycle accident last year and was getting pushed around by the at fault insurance co. Alexandra explained everything to me helping me understand all of the logistics along the way. All in all, I ended up getting my motorcycle fixed, all medical bills paid and even a little money left over to cover any needed future physical therapy etc. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a great attorney.

Great experience working with Alexandra Filutowski

Posted by

A friend recommended Alexandra Filutowski after I was involved in a car accident. I quickly found out that dealing with my insurance company on my own was going to be very difficult and Alexandra Filutowski not only helped me with my own insurance company, but she expressed true compasion throughout my ordeal. I’m certain that my experience would have been much more difficult on my own.

Concise, Professional and Responsive...

Posted by

Ms. Filutowski helped our small company out with a difficult commission based sales agent agreement with which we had zero experience. She put a face on our company that represented us well in the negotiations and kept our interests front and center. She also wrote our company's operating articles. Her style is concise and straight forward. Just what we needed and we will use her again.

Good Endings

Posted by

All I wanted was to settle my case, get what I am due, and get on with my life without going to trial. Alexandra Filutowski did exactly that and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome. Not only did she hold the line with the insurance company attorney, she made sure that I felt confident and relaxed throughout a legal process that is not kind to the victim. I highly recommend Ms. Filutowski to represent and protect your rights, you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended due to competence, reliability and compassion

Posted by

Alexandra Filutowski is one of the most refined, organized, driven and diligent attorneys in the Seattle area. She was able to take over my personal injury case, that was over 3.5 years old, and obtained a settlement for 50% MORE than what my previous two attorney thought I should receive. Within weeks she was able to develop my case, obtain missing information and undo the web of disorganization and confusion that was created by my past attorneys. During this course she kept me updated via email and phone on a regular basis. After first meeting with her over the phone, I knew I was in good hands. I appreciate all that she has done and continues to do. I wish I was referred to her after my injury as it would have made the whole process easier and I would not have felt like I was in the dark as I was when I had another Seattle law firm represent me.

Unrivaled Dedication and Commitment to my Case

Posted by

The service offered by the Filutowski Law Firm is far superior to that which I've find at any of the "big box" litigation firms. Ms. Filutowski provided me with unrivaled dedication and commitment to pursuing all angles of my case, and ensuring that I was satisfied with the settlement I received. Because of Ms. Filutowski's passion and skill, she was able to obtain my settlement more expediently and with fewer costs than any other firm.

Attorney dedicates time and skills to acheive settlements

Posted by

I selected Ms. Filutowski to represent me because of her passion, skill, and commitment to her clients. Ms. Filutowski fully listened to me, explored every angle of my case, and kept me regularly informed of developments. When I became discouraged about my injury and prognosis, Ms. Filutowski gave me hope and confidence. Ms. Filutowski's dedication to my case resulted in a settlement with which I am satisfied. I know that it was because of her persistence that we achieved the settlement. I would hire Ms. Filutowski again without hesitation because of her commitment to her clients and her ability to realize justice.

An Attorney Who Cares and Who Dedicates Herself to the Case

Posted by

I selected Ms. Filutowski to represent me when she worked for her former firm. When she left the firm, the members of the firm disregarded me and mismanaged my case. Finally, I reconnected with Ms. Filutowski and my case started to develop in positive ways. Recently, we met with mediation with the defendent and achieved a satisfactory settlement concerning the suit, much more than I would have received if I had remained with her former firm. Ms. Filutowski dedicated herself to getting as much information as possible before the mediation, which truly helped the case's strengths. I would hire Ms. Filutowski again without hesitation because of her commitment to her clients and to realize justice.

Very responsive

Posted by

Alexandra would reply to my email in a matter of hours with helpful information and advice. She helped me with an NDA contract and it was all completed incredibly quickly. I appreciate her professionalism and immense help!
