Darrell Cochran and Michael McNeil represented me in a case. You couldn't ask for better lawyers. They really are miracle workers. I highly recommend PCVA. They have an amazing team that works like a well oiled machine to help get justice for their clients. PCVA gave me hope again for the first time in my life. If you have an issue give them a call. They are the best in the business.

PCVA was so very helpful to me in my personal injury case, which was complicated for various reasons. The team on my case informed me and advised me in such meaningful ways. I was able to soundly make choices that were for the best outcome given difficult circumstances. My case was a most difficult life experience for me to go through and PCVA's advice, counsel and advocating on my behalf was invaluable.

If there is a positive outcome from this 60 year-old situation, it is the professionalism and courtesy I received from both Pfau Cochran Vertetis Amala PLLC and Panish|Shea|Pavipudi LLP. Making the initial call to Benjamin Watson at PCVA in Seattle, through the interview with Dr. Nolan and concluding with the advanced settlement payment negotiated by Spencer Lucas, Ericka Vasquez, Mariah Ogden and Matthew Freeman. Thank you, Sharon Hubbard

Paul is a very decent down to earth lawyer.
Who has to deal with some of the lowest forms of life. But can manage to turn it off when it needs to be. And still stay focused on the task at hand.
A True Gentleman!!!!
