Kenneth B Gorton

I was a career firefighter. I lived and breathed my profession, it was all I knew. Due to the negligence of a business owner, I suffered career ending injuries. Ken was able to help me through this difficult and personally devastating situation. Ken's knowledge in premises liability combined with... his negotiation skills with Labor & Industries was in a word, outstanding. This was a difficult time for me but Ken's professionalism, litigation, and negotiations skills helped me through this confusing time. My life will never be the same again; however, when Ken settled my claim, I was able to see a light at the end of the tunnel and made it easier for me to move on and move forward with my life.

I spent three years working with Mr. Gorton on my case involving an MVA while I was working on-duty. There were several entities (L&I; Agency; 3 insurance companies; multiple lawyers, etc) involved, and only one group (my lawyers) who were actively looking after my best interest. I found Mr. Gorto...n to be very respectful to all parties during the litigation and most importantly, was confident that his advice to me was always principled with options along with recommendations regarding a reasonable resolution that would bring the settlement that met my best interest. Excellent work and thank you.

Ken handled a very complicated case for me involving two auto accidents and three insurance companies. I expected it to take a very long time to settle but Ken had a strategic plan and worked hard to bring my case to a close. I got frequent updates on the status of my case. I feel Ken went above an...d beyond his responsibility to assure a fair settlement. I would also say that Ken is very easy to talk to and was very prompt in responding to any questions I had.

Ken Gorton represented me in a very complicated product liability case involving a government agency, a large corporation, L&I, State and Federal Court. The opposing attorneys in the case worked for large, well funded law firms and were representing a multi-billion dollar company. I am a firefig...hter who was injured on the job while fighting a fire, my injuries threaten to end my career. During the years leading up to trial Ken successfully guided us through several pitfalls where one wrong decision would have been disastrous. I would best describe the case as a high stakes chess match with my job, future medical care and financial well-being on the line. Ken was "Brilliant " through-out the trial, he is truly a "Master of his Craft". Having Ken represent me in this case was one of the best decisions ever, and not just for the fact that we won. During the hours and hours that Ken and I spent together, it became very evident that he truly cares for his clients. He balanced the monetary aspects of the case while ensuring I would continue receiving medical care and that my job was protected. I had never met Ken prior to this case, I now consider him a friend. I highly recommend Ken Gorton. Thanks again for everything Ken Kevin
