Evelyn is a personal injury Staff Attorney in GLP Attorneys’ Seattle office.
Professional Overview
Evelyn’s journey to becoming a personal injury attorney is deeply personal. Although she hadn’t originally considered this field of law, her perspective changed dramatically after her mother was struck by a semi-truck in 2019. The accident had a lasting impact on their lives. Evelyn watched her mother struggle with concussion symptoms, delayed surgeries due to COVID-19, and the emotional toll of recovery. It became clear to her how important it is for victims to have an attorney who truly understands their pain.
Although her mother received a settlement, Evelyn felt the attorney handling the case didn’t fully capture the extent of her mother’s suffering. This experience inspired her to pursue personal injury law with a strong focus on empathy and compassion. She is determined to ensure that clients feel heard, seen, and well-represented throughout their cases.
Evelyn aims to be the kind of personal injury attorney who not only understands the law but also the profound personal impact of injury and recovery. She strives to provide compassionate, knowledgeable support to clients during their most challenging times.
