Posted by anonymous | January 29, 2009 | Medical Malpractice

Excellent Medical Professional Defense Counsel

In the almost 15 years that I have known her, Kathy has demonstrated time & time again, absolute dedication, professionalism and skill in defense of hospitals and physicians. Her tireless efforts have resulted in building strong defenses and notable results at trial. She is perceptive & insightful ...as well as creative & compassionate. She is also diplomatic yet persuasive. Finally, she is likely the most respected medical professional liability defense attorney in the Pacific Northwest.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
