Q. I live in a small town. Can an attorney from the same firm representing opposing party represent me?

June 13, 2023

A: I'd look at Washington RPC 1.7 closely, but the answer is "it depends". If it's the same matter, it's prohibited. If not, it's possible if you give "informed consent".

Q. A city works employee accidentally spilled chemical on my kids. They have chemical burns on their arms and face. Help

A: I'm sorry this happened to your children. I know it was not intentional, but that is no comfort in cases like these.

In a case involving burns to your kids' bodies, you should definitely consult with a lawyer. If a government agency is willingly negotiating with you, it's a sign they think you've underestimated the claim.

Either way, you do not yet know the extent of the harm thrust upon your children. Scars can be immensely damaging to kids' mental health. Some scars can be minimized by plastic surgeons. Some scars can cause actual loss of function.

Q. I’m almost 62 and am interested in suing my childhood sexual abuser. Is it possible?

May 17, 2023

A: It is possible, but there might be some practical limitations in play here. It completely depends on the circumstances and the extent of the abuse. An abuse case doesn't have these limits if there was some sort of agency (school, church, DSHS) that knew or should have known about ongoing abuse and did nothing to stop it. The limits of a case with a one-time assault could very well depend on the financial status of the abuser, and their willingness to do the right thing.
