Michael J. Tario, Personal Injury Attorney<\/p><\/div>\n

The Michael Tario Attorney Difference: You are Family!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Michael John Tario is one of the most highly respected and experienced practicing personal injury attorneys in Washington State. He opened his practice more than four decades ago and has earned the respect of his peers and the industry as exemplified by his many awards and high ratings*.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career, Mr. Tario has practiced plaintiff personal injury law, representing injured people in a wide range of personal injury claims against the interests of insurance companies who are only interested in protecting their bottom line. He has successfully represented over 5,000 clients and negotiated thousands of favorable out-of-court settlements. Where settlement has not been possible, he has taken hundreds of cases to trial, fighting hard to protect the rights and interests of his clients.<\/p>\n

Michael is known for his hard fighting tenacity, his determination, and his commitment to try to do everything possible (within the bounds of the law) to give his clients \u201ctop notch\u201d representation. While no attorney can win every case they handle, Mr. Tario\u2019s win\/loss record speaks for itself. His advertised claim of \u201cproven record of success\u201d is based upon the results obtained in and out of court in over 40 years in practice.<\/p>\n

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Michael Tario attorney and Tario Law founder since 2016. In that time, he has provided me exceptional service in many areas of law. He also has an exceptional work ethic and he is very responsive and articulate with his communication. I appreciate his ability to explain otherwise complicated matters in a very common sense and down-to-earth manner. He is a great listener and he stays focused on the most efficient way to the desired outcome. Having worked with other Lawyers over the years, I can say he will always be my go-to attorney when needed…and if the matter is outside the scope of his expertise, he is a good resource for other lawyers who can help. In an era where the bar for customer service is set very low, Michael Tario sets and maintains high standards for his law practice. Thank you for all your hard work and I will always use and recommend you in the future. -Dale Serbousek<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
