Egan Patrick Kilbane
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
We read Egan Patrick Kilbane in the Washington State Bar Association’s legal directory. Rows shaded below the line are the ones WSBA labels as coming from the lawyer, not from the Bar.
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the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date.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
