Pamela A. Okano's Lawyer Endorsements
"Pam Okano is a very experienced appellate lawyer. As a trial lawyer, I know she will capably handle appeals in both state and federal courts. For example, she successfully briefed and argued a complex case involving allegations of negligence by several doctors and a hospital when a baby was born with severe brain damage. She convinced the court to uphold a defense verdict. She is one of the top appellate attorneys in Washington. She is also an excellent resource on making a case appeal proof. "
