Erin Bates, Karl Malling's Paralegal
Erin is outstanding in the area of "customer service". That is so important. I guess I take for granted she would be all of the above! But, to really count on someone is to know they regard each and every client as important. It is not easy to go through a legal battle. When you know you are goi...

Karl Erik Malling's Lawyer Endorsements
"Karl is one of the rare attorneys out there willing and able to take very difficult cases to trial. He has a proven track record of incredible verdicts, but above all, is motived to do justice and serve the needs of his client. I whole-heartedly recommend him as an experienced trial attorney and frequently rely upon his candid and sage advice in my own matters. Clients would be fortunate to have him in their corner."
"I endorse this attorney."
"Karl is an excellent lawyer. He is compassionate with clients, even when communicating real truths they need to understand when going to trial. Karl knows how to prepare both the client and co-counsel by helping both clarify the story of the case. I have had a lot of fun and success working with Karl on cases."
"Karl Malling is one of the preeminent trial attorneys in Washington. He takes the time to understand his injured client's unique experience and authentically present their claims to juries. He will not back down from an insurer and will take a case to trial - and does so frequently - to ensure his clients receive true justice for the impact of their injuries on their quality of life.

"I endorse this lawyer. Karl Malling is an extraordinary trial attorney who takes good care of his clients."
"I highly endorse Karl. Karl is dedicated to providing his clients with the very best legal representation. He spares no effort in pursuing his clients cause of action."
"I endorse this lawyer. There are not many lawyers in Seattle that I would count as Karl's peers in terms of trial skills, his willingness to try cases, his ability to communicate well with jurors and regular folks. I have tried cases with Karl and if I were injured, would not hesitate to hire him to help me. He is an excellent human being and lawyer that juries quickly pick up on, and his verdicts reflect that. When you retain an attorney in todays environment, you have to assume the case will go to trial. This is why it is so important to have an attorney with significant trial skills like Karl. You would not go through surgery with someone who has never done surgery-why go to trial with someone who has not tried as many cases as Karl has?"
"Karl is a consummate trial lawyer, committed to achieving justice for his client. Karl's clients know that they have a champion on their side, and a friend who cares about them."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I had the distinct pleasure of first meeting Karl when I was a student in a trial skill’s class that he co-taught. I later had the honor of co-counseling a jury trial case to verdict with Karl. Karl is passionate and has an unyielding commitment to justice. His presence in the court room and enviable connection with the jury make Karl a great advocate for his clients. Karl is genuine and that rings true in all of his work. I am glad that I had an opportunity to learn from him and work with him on a case that cried out for justice and a meaningful remedy."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Karl has outstanding passion for his clients. His care and thoughtfulness are very apparent when he is speaking to a jury. Karl is the attorney I would call if I am in a motor vehicle collision."
"I have known Karl Malling for several years. Karl is an excellent trial lawyer and a great human being that cares about the plight of those who are less fortunate. My association with Karl has benefitted my professional practice and my personal life."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Karl is one of the premier trial lawyers in all the land. His verdicts are consistently the highest, by which all others are measured. That he gets results is no coincidence. The time he spends preparing, learning and practicing his trade is inspirational."
