Preet Kode
Born in Punjab, raised in Tacoma; founded the firm in May 2018. Her rideshare content is a results page rather than a practice page — two Lyft and Uber matters with figures attached, and no explanation of how the claims work. She is one of four here whose register records languages other than English.
The bar record
We read Preet Kode 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the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date.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 URL her firm publishes is a case results page. It lists two Uber and Lyft matters with settlement figures and a call to action, and nothing else — no coverage phases, no statute, no explanation. We print no settlement figures, so what is left of that page here is the fact that it exists.Verified
Her WSBA record lists Hindi, Punjabi and Spanish. Only three of the fourteen fill that field in; hers is the fullest.Verified
The register describes her practice as Solo practice. Her biography describes a firm with staff and systems built around speed and communication. The field is self-reported.Verified
Her biography states that 40% of the practice is devoted to litigation — a specific self-reported proportion that the register has no field for.Verified
