As a wrongful death attorney serving Mercer Island residents, my professional legal team and I understand the heartbreaking circumstances you may be enduring in the loss of your loved one.
We also understand that while a lawsuit may not have entered your mind, it is an important consideration if the loss of your loved one occurred as a result of the negligence, wrongdoing, or default on the part of another person or entity.

- Criminal behavior such as an assault
- A product defect
