What people praise
- Holds a perfect 5.0 Google rating, the joint-highest on this page
- Says it has recovered over a billion dollars and brings more than thirty years of experience
- Handles catastrophic injury and abuse cases, not only routine malpractice claims
- Free case review with clients served in Spanish
- Seattle office plus a Tacoma base, covering all of Washington State including Bellevue, Bremerton, Kent and Spokane
Our take: This is the smallest review base on the page by a wide margin, 23 against firms carrying several hundred to nearly two thousand, so the perfect 5.0 rests on far fewer opinions than the scores below it and should be read that way. The substance sits elsewhere. The practice runs under Pfau Cochran Vertetis Amala, a Tacoma firm covering the whole state, and its case mix leans towards the heavy end: catastrophic injury, wrongful death and abuse claims rather than everyday clinic complaints. The billion-dollar recovery figure and the thirty-year experience claim are the firm's own, so treat them as marketing rather than audited numbers. The useful question on the free call is whether they have run your specific kind of malpractice claim before, because a firm this broad will have depth in some categories and less in others.
