Robert Kornfeld
Forty-six years at the Washington bar — the longest record on these pages, ahead of Richard Adler at forty-five. His register carries no website at all. And the firm's rideshare page names his partner throughout, not him.
The bar record
We read Robert Kornfeld 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. One listing in this city does display an entry — which is how we know the dash means what we say it means.
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the information is provided voluntarily by the licensed legal professional and might be incomplete, inaccurate, and/or out of date.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
Admitted 12 May 1980. That is forty-six years — the longest career on our Washington pages, ahead of Richard Adler at forty-five.Verified
The firm’s rideshare page says Attorney Neil Lindquist understands Washington auto accident law and names him as the lawyer handling these claims. Kornfeld is not mentioned on it. The page is his firm’s; the practice described is his partner’s.Verified
His WSBA record carries no website. His practice area field reads Personal Injury and nothing else.Verified
What the firm says
He says he is licensed in Washington, New York and Arizona and admitted before the United States Supreme Court. WSBA has no field for admissions elsewhere, so none of that is bar-checked here.Reported
He says he graduated from the University of Vermont in 1976 and Gonzaga University School of Law in 1979, and has served on the board of the Bellevue Police Foundation.Reported
He says he brought Salas v. Hi-Tec Erectors, in which he says the Washington Supreme Court held that evidence of immigration status is inadmissible in a personal injury trial. That is a published decision; we have not read it.Reported
