Greg Colburn
He came to injury law as an injured plaintiff. He says he fell more than twenty feet at a Sammamish fire station in October 2002, shattered both feet, spent two years in a wheelchair, was turned down by around eighty attorneys and eventually won his own case. His site gives his experience two different ways — 16 years in one place and 20 years in another. The register makes it seventeen.
The bar record
We read Greg Colburn 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the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date.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
His site states his experience twice and differently: the biography says he has handled cases over the past 16 years, while a panel on the same page reads Years of Experience: 20 years. WSBA records his admission on 13 May 2009, which makes seventeen as we write. Neither number on the site matches it.Verified
His address of record is in Issaquah, about seventeen miles east. The rideshare page gives a Seattle location at the IBM Building on 5th Avenue, with map coordinates. Same pattern as Justin Elsner: a suburban address of record and a downtown address on the site.Verified
His WSBA record reads Solo practice, while the firm’s pages are written in the first person plural throughout. That field is self-reported.Verified
His rideshare content is split: the Lyft page is the practice page, and a separate Seattle Uber page is linked from it.Verified
What the firm says
He says a roofing subcontractor had negligently installed the material he was working on, that he fell more than twenty feet at Fire Station 81 in Sammamish on 10 October 2002, that both weight-bearing joints in his feet were shattered, and that he spent two years in a wheelchair before winning a settlement. We print no settlement figures, including his own.Reported
He says his employer accused him of faking the injuries and sent photographs of him playing golf on days he was in hospital after surgery, and that nearly eighty attorneys turned down his case before one took it.Reported
He says he graduated magna cum laude from Seattle University School of Law, was drafted by the Colorado Rockies out of high school and played at the University of Washington, and that his story was featured in Lawyer Magazine in spring 2025.Reported
