Intial Discussion regarding injury claim

Ms. Herrmann is exactly what others clients have said about her. She covers all of the possible problems that might come up in the settlement process, and explains the thinking of insurance companies. I have a good idea now, of what to expect, and what kind of expectations to have. It takes a uniq...ue mind to be able to have such a comprehensive understanding of her profession, and she has it. I am confident that I will be well represented.

Kathryn's integrity outshines all previous attorneys

I was concerned about other injured parties in a multi-vehicle accident in which I too was injured. Kathryn handled everything with the greatest of integrity. My basis for comparison is that I have worked for several attorneys over the years including a prosecutor in a major US city. Kathryn reall...y gets the power of integrity.

The best attorney in the northwest!!

Ms. Herrmann went above the call of duty to make sure she listen to my exact concerns, spoke to me at layman's level versus a lawyers and gave me many options along with the option she would have chose which turned out to be the best option for me. Ms. Herrmann made herself available to me 24/7 a...nd I highly recommend her. Thank you for all your great advice Ms. Herrmann!!

An Honest Attorney that truly works hard for her clients and gets the job done

I first came to the Herrmann law firm in Tacoma, Wa in 2004, I was nervous about seeking the advice of an attorney because I was involved in an auto accident with a friend. Kathryn kindly heard me out and immediately began working on my case, any questions I had were answered immediately and honestl...y. The tenacity and care that I recieved as well as the pleasure of my attorney working for me, keeping me abreast with evry aspect of my case and settling my case, was second to none. since then every person I know in need of legal counsel is confidently reffered to Kathryn J. Herrmann and she will contue to be the only attorney that I trust my family and friends with.

Love the service!

I was referred to Mrs. Herrmann by a friend who had used her services in the past. She made sure to explain my options and choices every step of the way and I feel like she is the reason I was not taken advantage of by the system. She was not only a great attorney but was also there for me at any tim...e no matter what I needed. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who needs help. I never once felt like a "number" or just another customer to her or any of her staff. I am very grateful that I found her office in such a time of need.

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.
