I have been litigating cases for approximately 16 years. My practice emphasizes litigation including personal injury, wrongful death, as well as insurance litigation and appellate work. I have extensive experience in all aspects of litigation including discovery, motions, mediations, arbitrations, and trials, and I have handled hundreds of litigation matters. On numerous occasions, I have secured results in excess of one million dollars for my clients. I have also briefed and argued a number of cases before the Washington State appellate courts and have appeared as a guest speaker on trial and insurance topics.

Kari Lester is a great attorney! I felt that I was part of her team verses on the sideline watching. She kept me informed through the whole process. When you meet her she is petite and unassuming but when she is in court she becomes this feisty attorney that takes no crap (excuse my french). She ...
"I have known Kari for many years, starting first through seeing her in various Courts around the metropolitan area while becoming friends. We would discuss various Courts and it became very clear that Kari was always prepared, organized and empathetic in each situation. The best endorsement that I can give Kari is that when I needed help for my family in her area of expertise I chose Kari, not just once, but multiple times. My family has been ecstatic with her representation. Thank you Kari."
"Kari and I previously worked together in the same firm, and worked on cases together. I was able to learn a lot from Kari. She is very organized, and knowledgeable. She communicates well with her clients, and she works extremely hard to get the best result she can."
"Kari is a tremendous attorney. Her attention to detail, work ethic and professionalism are unmatched. She is methodical in her practice and is a skilled trial lawyer. She has experienced continual success in the trial courts, appellate courts, and Supreme Court of Washington."
"Kari is a hard-working, creative, and knowledgeable lawyer in her field. She is well-respected by her peers, and her clients really like her. I wouldn't hesitate to send referrals her way."
"Kari has made significant contributions to the legal community considering the landmark cases she has worked on. She knows how to try a case to a jury and she is also not afraid to go to trial for her clients. I highly endorse her."
"Kari showed remarkably strong research and writing in a practice area outside her normal line. She quickly developed command of the law and effectively presented the case to the court."
