The firm’s founding attorney, Michael Tario, started practicing law in Bellingham over 30 years ago in 1979. The firm, now incorporated as a professional service corporation, is located conveniently downtown on the tenth floor of the historic “Bellingham Towers” at 119 North Commercial Street, which is just one block from the Whatcom County Courthouse with easy parking.

For over 20 years the firm also has maintained an office in downtown Mt. Vernon to provide legal services in neighboring Skagit County. Our Mt. Vernon office is conveniently located in downtown Mt. Vernon at 413 So. 1st Street, just a few blocks from the Skagit County Courthouse.

Tario & Associates strives to provide its’ clients with superior representation at competitive and reasonable rates. Tario & Associates strives to employ competent, caring, and concerned attorneys who are not afraid of using common sense to solve problems to keep costs down whenever possible, and who are not afraid to think “out of the box”. We look for out-of-court solutions to our client’s legal problems whenever possible, but we never agree to settle any case if we believe it is not in our client’s best interests, or without our client’s approval and agreement.
