I am a partner with Bluhm Morgan PLLC. My law firm primarily represents Plaintiffs in serious accidents, from motor vehicle collisions to premises liability claims and construction site accidents. Additionally, I continue to serve as defense counsel for a number of clients. before moving to Olympia in 2011, I served as senior legal counsel at Travelers Insurance as one of its “major case” attorneys, defending Travelers insureds in a variety of catastrophic claims from construction site accidents to wrongful death claims.

I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my daughter play volleyball. I also enjoy hiking, fishing, and rooting for the Mariners and Seahawks.

Mike did not build any false expectations. He always kept me informed of any developments. Mike knew when it was time to negotiate and when it was time to hold firm. He also had the good sense to hire a very competent and friendly paralegal, Tristan.

Wholehearted recommendation

Morgan James were my lawyers in a car accident case where I was rear-ended. I had a passenger and we both went to a meeting with them where they explained what they could do and how much it would cost. After careful consideration I decided to let them act for me. I am so happy that I did that because they got me a settlement way better than I could ever have achieved. My passenger decided she could do as well by letting her husband take care of it. She did not do as well as I did.

Medical coverage dispute.

Recently I had a dispute with my medical insurance company. They denied coverage for expensive clinical tests that had already been performed leaving me responsible for the entire bill that I could not afford. Despite the facts that I presented to them to support my case they twice denied my formal appeals. In less than one week after Miichael Morgan's involvement the situation was resolved. To say I am pleased with his service is an understatement. Michael Morgan's quick effective action saved me from a frustrating stuation and allowed me to have the required surgery. He also advised me exactly how to deal with medical billing to keep the unpaid debt from going to collections. His expertise, confidence and communication were exceptional. I will recommend him to my friends.
