How we match your Burien defective product case
When you submit a Burien defective product matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.
Case type
A defective product matter needs someone who handles defective product work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.
Size and complexity
Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.
Jurisdiction and licensing
Your matter is decided under Washington law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Washington who regularly appears where your case would be heard.
Capacity and fit
Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.
Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.
DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Most Washington defective product attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.
Washington product liability attorneys work on contingency — usually 33% to 40% of the recovery, with case costs advanced by the firm. Because this state offers no punitive damages, the lawyer's real product is meticulous compensatory proof: economists, life-care planners, and engineers who turn an injury into a fully documented number. That is worth paying a percentage for, and it costs you nothing if the case is lost.
A good attorney walks through every number at your free consultation — before you sign anything.
