These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“Highly skilled and experienced Plaintiff's Personal Injury lawyer. He and his partners are undoubtedly the top Plaintiff's firm in the State.”
“Peter is one tough lawyer. He was a prosecutor for many years and was responsible for sending many well deserving criminals to lengthy prison sentences. He is quick in front of a jury and very persuasive. He uses those same skills now on behalf of injured clients who are facing a skeptical jury or judge. He is extremely skillful and relentless in pursuit of his cases.”
“Peter has impeccable judgment at not only evaluating cases, but also in dealing with people--two attributes that take a plaintiff's personal injury lawyer to a skill level or two above most others.”
“Peter Meyers is one of the most outstanding personal injury attorneys in Washington. He is my go-to referral for plaintiff personal injury matters, and all of my referrals have loved him. With his clients, he is compassionate, straightforward, and practical. In court, he is an outstanding and persuasive advocate. A Super Lawyer list without Peter Meyers on it is not a credible list.”
