Work Injury

Hello to all review readers! I had a work related injury so I seached the good ol Google for work related injury attornies in Seattle and there are a few different law offices that come up on the 1st page. Kraft Palmer Davies is one of them and that certainly is not by mistake. Everybody hears night ...mare stories when it comes to dealing with attornies, or finding the right attorney etc. but my experience with Kraft Palmer Davies working directly with Rick Davies was flawless. I tend to be a very meticulous person and do not have very much patience with others so that being said I might have had more questions and concerns than the average person. Every time I called the office I was always able to get a hold of Rick Davies and if I couldn't right away either his office or him was very prompt to get back with me. I felt like I was a part of the process of building my case from start to finish and I felt insured everyday that I couldn't have picked a better firm to represent me. In all and ending I don't normally write reviews because typically I am to busy of a person to make time but in this case I felt like I needed to spread the word that if you are in need of a good law office I highly recommend Kraft Palmer Davies. I recieved a very fair compensation to help me move on and better myself in a different career, put my self through college, and have now started my own company in Portland. I owe a lot of my success to Kraft Palmer Davies, and I am thankfully for the opportunity they helped provide me to find a fresh start. Hats off and cheers! Thanks Rick!! P.S. Thanks for the Christmas cards and birthday cards every year as well, classic example of going that extra mile!
