WSBA record, 19 March 2026

Seattle-registered and Seattle-based, with a genuinely Seattle practice. But the only rideshare content behind this listing describes a different state's law. The firm's article is headed Uber and Lyft Accidents in Ohio, cites Ohio's two-year limitation period, and signs off with an Ohio toll-free number. Washington's limitation period is three years.

The bar record

Washington never says “none”, so neither do we. The Disciplinary History section carries no entries and no statement — only a warning that in some cases discipline search results will not reveal all disciplinary action relating to a Washington licensed legal professional, and may not display links to the official decision documents. So what we can report is narrow: no disciplinary entries are displayed, and WSBA warns its search may not display everything. That is not the sentence “this lawyer has no discipline”, and we will not write the second when the register only supports the first. Every other state we use answers out loud; this one does not.

And the shaded rows might be wrong. Above that block WSBA states that the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date. Texas calls its equivalent “self-reported”. Washington says it might be wrong. Note also the Judicial Service line: asked whether this lawyer has ever served as a judge, the register answers Unknown. A register that will print its own ignorance is rarer than it should be.

What the record shows

The rideshare article supplied is headed Uber and Lyft Accidents in Ohio: Who Pays and What to Do After a Crash. It refers to catching a ride to a Guardians game in Cleveland and to the Short North in Columbus, states that in Ohio you are legally required to report an injury accident, gives Ohio’s insurance tiers, states an Ohio statute of limitations of two years, and closes with an Ohio toll-free number.Verified

Washington’s limitation period for personal injury is three years, not two — RCW 4.16.080, cited on two other firms’ pages in this batch. A reader who took the timing advice on that page at face value for a Washington claim would be working from the wrong deadline.Verified

That is a comment on the page, not on the lawyer. He is registered in Seattle at a Seattle street address, his register practice areas are litigation, malpractice, personal injury and torts, and his biography describes representing clients throughout Washington. His firm simply has not written the Washington version of that page.Verified

His register telephone is a toll-free (844) number and his fax is an Ohio (440) number, which is consistent with a Seattle office of a firm headquartered elsewhere.Verified

What the firm says

He says he is licensed in both Washington and Ohio. WSBA has no field for admissions elsewhere, so the Ohio licence is not bar-checked here.Reported

He says he began at a medical malpractice and insurance defence firm and later served as a Judicial Staff Attorney working alongside trial judges and a former Ohio Supreme Court justice.Reported

He says he was a Washington Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2016 to 2019 and a Washington Super Lawyer in 2020 and from 2022 to 2026, and an Ohio Rising Star from 2010 to 2015.Reported

He says he volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and supports Teen Feed through the Washington Association for Justice’s Lawyers Care programme.Reported

Rideshare

Rideshare content — checked 11 Aug 2026
Ohio-law page
elkandelk.com — a rideshare accidents article that returns 200 from our network. It is about Ohio, not Washington
This is the firm’s own marketing. It shows they hold themselves out as taking rideshare cases — it is not evidence that they have run one, and we have not verified any rideshare case they have handled.

What we haven’t checked

Not established. The WSBA Discipline Notice Directory, a separate search we have not run. His Ohio admission — WSBA has no field for it and we have not checked Ohio. Any Washington-specific rideshare page from this firm; the one we were given states another state’s law. We have not reviewed court records for case outcomes, we print no settlement or verdict figures, and we have no basis for judging quality of representation. A bar check is a floor, not a ranking.
