Standing for Veterans & Victims of Personal Injury THOMAS J. FARRELL’S father was an attorney and as a child,
he was interested, and proud of his dad’s work. “I have always been fascinated by history and how the law influences every part of our lives, no matter who you are, or what you do for a living,” he says. “The law puts us all on a level playing field.” As a sole practitioner, Farrell’s clients are his number one priority. “We are a team, and our mutual success is dependent upon that teamwork,” he says. Farrell Law Office, PS represents people who are fighting large corporations whether it be someone injured in a car accident versus a billion dollar insurance company, veterans fighting for benefits against the government, or someone against a company that has wrongfully fired them or withheld wages. He was named Veterans Benefits Attorney of the Year in 2016, a Top 40 under 40, and a Top Attorney this year. His proudest moments involve working with veterans. “Some of these brave men and women have been waiting for decades to receive their benefits,” says Farrell. “We recently secured full benefits for a veteran who had been fighting for them since the Korean War. My office was able to track down evidence and hire expert witnesses for use in front of the Board of Veterans Appeals. It’s a heartbreaking situation and I am honored to stand for the men and women who stand for us and our freedom.” Farrell Law Office, PS Veterans Disability Benefits and Personal Injury 921 W.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
in the community and helping people were two reasons Holland McBurns became an attorney. Evergreen Elder Law focuses on estate planning, probate and assisting clients and their families with accessing long-term care benefits without going broke. Holland takes a teamcentered and holistic approach to helping families resolve these issues. Because elder law requires great attention to detail and follow through, Holland receives the most satisfaction from her work when she has successfully helped a family achieve a happy resolution to their legal issue. Recently, Holland has authored a book on elder law and estate planning in Washington State using her vast knowledge and experience in this area of the law. As a way to give back to the elderly community she intends to disseminate this for free in the hopes that is will help people better understand their options as they think about their long-term care and estate planning goals. To help more people, Holland has grown her team of staff to seven, including another attorney, legal assistants, paralegals, a firm administrator, and a client engagement specialist. “I am proud of the team we have been able to recruit,” says Holland. “With such an exceptional team, we are able to provide our clients with equally exceptional services and results. It is beyond satisfying to be able to work alongside them and to offer our clients unparalleled service.” Evergreen Elder Law Elder Law and Estate Planning 621 W.
