Aaron Goforth
My practice includes all phases of commercial litigation in the state and federal courts of Washington and Idaho. My primary areas of emphasis are the following: breach of contract; trade secrets; receiverships; business law; torts; employment disputes; non-solicitation and non-competition agreements; physician discipline; residential construction disputes; bankruptcy litigation; Consumer Protection Act; intellectual property; arbitrations; mediations; appeals in state, federal, and bankruptcy court; and general litigation. I have earned an AV ("preeminent") rating from my peers through Martindale-Hubbell. I have also been selected as a ‘Washington Rising Star’ by Washington Law & Politics, and as a "Top Lawyer" by Spokane Living Magazine for 2011-2014.
