About SKWC

Stritmatter Kessler Whelan Coluccio (SKWC) is a nationally recognized firm, known for our work as trial lawyers for victims of wrongful death or serious personal injuries. For decades, SKWC has built its reputation for aggressive, highly principled advocacy. We love to take on big business and big government; and it shows from our long track record of wins.  There is a reason why we are the personal injury law firm in Washington State with the highest number of "Super Lawyers".

We at SKWC will also take the "smaller" cases. After all, real justice isn't limited to the multimillion dollar verdicts or settlements. We are committed to bringing real justice to those who were doing the right thing, but were somehow seriously injured or killed.

Our team includes 11 practicing personal injury attorneys and a large professional support staff in our offices in Seattle and Hoquiam, Washington. The SKWC tradition includes a high standard of integrity, thorough preparation, and compassion for our clients.
