Excellent!

Mr. Meyer is an outstanding Lawyer. He is prompt in responding to questions or concerns that come up, and is always available when needed. His experience in the L&I industry is above and beyond what I expected. Mr. Meyer has been the best Lawyer, I couldn't ask for better. He has a wonderful assistan...t at his office as well, if he is not available that day, Mrs. Raynor will address any questions or issues that you may have. I'm very impressed by this Law firm and would highly recommend them to anyone! AH

Excellent Attorney!!

Mr. Meyer represented myself and my complicated workers compensation claim for five years. Through that duration my claim was closed, appealed, and re-opened. Mr. Meyer fought every battle that was presented with dignity, integrity and an undeniable respect towards my needs as his client. I was award...ed the opportunity to advance with re-training, which would have been obsolete if not for Mr. Meyer. His knowledge and personable demeanor make him a pleasure to work with and his diligence and drive is superb! I give full recommendations and huge thanks to Stephen Meyer for going above and beyond each step of the way.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I first met Stephen Meyer when he was opposing counsel and I was an assistant attorney general. Even when we opposed each other I was always impressed that Stephen was so intelligent, professional and well-prepared. He is an amazing attorney. I really wanted to work with Stephen and learn from him since he is so knowledgeable. I consistently ask Stephen for his advice and we work through case strategy together often. Besides his skills as an attorney, he is personable, warm and his clients love him. He genuinely cares about injured people and will go the extra mile to make sure they are well represented. He fights hard for his clients in court and he is an amazing writer. I often ask to read (or borrow) his briefs as his knowledge of workers' compensation law is extensive. He is one of the best workers' compensation attorneys in the state."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Prior to representing injured workers, Mr. Meyer was an Assistant Attorney General with the State of Washington representing the Department of Labor & Industries. I was opposing counsel representing injured workers in several cases in which Mr. Meyer represented the Department of Labor & Industries. Mr. Meyer was always well prepared, diligent, reasonable, and courteous. Mr. Meyer is honest and trustworthy, and well equipped to handle worker’s compensation claims on behalf of injured workers. Mr. Meyer is an experienced and outstanding addition to the plaintiff’s workers compensation community."

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.
