Bellingham Personal Injury Lawyer
Overview
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 gratitude of his clients as exemplified by his many awards, high ratings, and customer reviews.
Throughout his career, Mr. Tario has practiced plaintiff personal injury law, representing injured people in Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and Snohomish counties 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 6,000 clients and recovered more than $600 million in damages on their behalf. He has negotiated thousands of favorable out-of-court settlements, but here settlement has not been possible, he has taken hundreds of cases to trial, fighting hard to protect the rights and interests of his clients.
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 “top notch” representation. While no attorney can win every case they handle, Mr. Tario’s win/loss record speaks for itself. His advertised claim of “proven record of success” is based upon the results obtained in and out of court in over 40 years in practice.
