Washington Personal Injury Attorney With 40 Years Of Trial Experience
Serving Olympia, Okanogan, King, Yakima, Chilean, and Clark Counties, & clients across Washington State.
If you’ve been seriously injured, you need an attorney who knows how to win, not just settle.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you’re likely dealing with more than just physical pain. Medical bills, missed work, and uncertainty about what comes next can quickly become overwhelming.
Insurance companies understand this, and they use it to their advantage.
John McMahon has been practicing law since 1989, with experience handling serious cases, negotiating with insurance companies, and taking cases to trial when necessary.
He does not run a high-volume firm. He handles cases personally, communicates directly with clients, and prepares every case as if it may go to trial.
