Gregory McBroom
Boeing structural engineer for thirteen years before law school. His register entry selects forty-three practice areas — among them Antitrust, Maritime, Securities, Lobbying and Oil, Gas & Energy, for a two-to-five-lawyer injury practice. It is the clearest illustration on this site of why WSBA warns that block may be inaccurate. His fax number on the register reads (000) 000-0000.
The bar record
We read Gregory McBroom 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the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date.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
We counted the practice areas on his WSBA record: forty-three. They include Antitrust, Maritime, Securities, Lobbying, International, Sports and Oil, Gas & Energy, alongside Personal Injury. The same record describes the firm as having two to five WSBA members.Verified
This is not an accusation of anything. It is the field working exactly as WSBA says it might: the block is self-reported, and the register warns in as many words that it might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date. Richard Adler selected none. McBroom selected forty-three. Neither number was checked by anybody.Verified
His register entry also carries a fax number of (000) 000-0000 — a placeholder, printed as data.Verified
His firm page names two cases by name: Rekhter v. Department of Social & Health Services (2015) and JH v. Sumner-Bonney Lake School District (2023). Both carry verdict figures on his page. We print no figures; the case names are public record.Verified
What the firm says
He says he worked for The Boeing Company from 1989 to 2002 as a professional engineer in management on Sea Launch and advanced composites, then graduated magna cum laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2002 in the top 8% of his class.Reported
He says he clerked for Justice Mary Fairhurst at the Washington State Supreme Court in 2003, and is admitted in all Washington and Oregon courts, the US Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit, the Western District of Washington and the US Patent & Trademark Office. WSBA has no field for admissions elsewhere.Reported
He says the firm was founded in 2018 with his partner Matt Smith.Reported
