Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured due to negligence in car accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. Our attorneys negotiate with insurers to cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With a contingency fee model, clients pay nothing unless we secure compensation.
Social Security Disability
Our team assists with SSDI and SSI applications, appeals, and hearings. We guide clients through medical documentation requirements and expedite claims for conditions like chronic illness or catastrophic injuries. No upfront fees ensure accessible legal support during financial hardship.
Criminal Defense
We defend clients facing DUI, drug possession, and felony charges. Our strategies include evidence challenges, plea negotiations, and trial representation. With a focus on minimizing penalties, we protect clients' rights and future opportunities.
Trucking Accidents
We handle collisions involving commercial trucks, addressing liability for driver fatigue, equipment failure, and regulatory violations. Our investigations secure compensation for severe injuries, property damage, and lost income while holding carriers accountable for safety breaches.
Car Accidents
Our firm manages car accident cases from minor collisions to catastrophic crashes. We pursue claims for medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and emotional distress, countering insurance tactics to undervalue settlements. Contingency fees ensure no financial risk for clients.

Questions
What should I do immediately after an injury?
Seek medical attention, document the scene, gather witness contact information, and contact a personal injury lawyer immediately to protect your rights.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Washington?
Washington's statute of limitations is three years from the injury date, but acting promptly preserves evidence and strengthens your case.
What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may recover medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and punitive damages in cases of extreme negligence.
How much does it cost to hire an injury lawyer?
Russell & Hill works on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case for trial to maximize compensation if negotiations fail.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Washington's comparative negligence rule allows recovery even if you're partially at fault, though compensation reduces proportionally.
