About Brett & Coats

About Major Personal Injury, Auto Accident and Wrongful Death Claims

Attorney Referrals

Brett and Coats represents many clients in association with attorneys throughout the state. We value the relationships we have developed over the years with referring attorneys. We feel honored that other attorneys chose to associate with us on serious personal injury and wrongful death claims. We are willing to review and evaluate potential claims without cost or obligation to the referring attorney, including hiring expert witnesses when necessary to assist in evaluating the claim

There must be a well defined division of responsibilities when two firms associate on a case and it is not practicable to manage a case out of two offices. Therefore, when we associate on a case, we serve as lead counsel and take responsibility for all pleadings, discovery and settlement negotiations. We can also advance litigation costs. We have a line of credit with our bank exclusively for client costs and can advance up to $250,000 for litigation expenses. We welcome the participation of the referring attorney in all aspects of the case.

All agreements relating to a division of fees are governed by the Washington State Code of Professional Responsibility. In proposing a fee arrangement, we consider such factors as the nature of the case, the complexity, the potential damages, the work already done by the associating attorney, and the likely costs to be advanced. We welcome open discussions about fee division and strive to be fair to all.
