David K. Barrett is a Partner in the South Sound Offices of GLP Attorneys.

Professional Overview

Dave comes from a family of lawyers and legal scholars, which served as an early inspiration for him to continue their tradition of excellence. After completing his undergraduate degree in Law & Society at the University of California, David taught school, for a short time, before beginning his legal studies at Valparaiso University School of Law. While in law school, David clerked for the Honorable Judge Julia Jent of the Porter County Superior Court in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Upon receiving his Juris Doctorate in 2002, Mr. Barrett relocated to the Pacific Northwest to begin his legal career in private practice with a mid-size Seattle law firm that was engaged primarily with personal injury, immigration, family law, and criminal defense matters. In 2008, David accepted a position as Deputy Prosecutor and Deputy Coroner for Kittitas County.

David Barrett joined GLP Attorneys in 2011 and has since focused his practice entirely on representing the injured. He also regularly assists health care providers in medical lien matters and is a frequent speaker at seminars for health care providers sponsored by GLP Attorneys.

When I was in an auto collision, Dave and his legal team went to battle for me. The person that hit me had no license or insurance. My left shoulder and arm were injured at the scene. I would highly recommend GLP Attorneys to anybody that needs an attorney due to an auto collision they were involved in that was not their fault. Dave and his team fought with my insurance company and got a substantial amount of money for my settlement. Thank you, Dave & team, for everything that you have done for me. I'm so glad that GLP Attorneys was there when I needed them.
- S.R.
I had to hire an attorney because of an auto collision I was in while I had an open L&I claim. The entire staff with GLP Attorneys helped with this very stressful and overwhelming issue. They were the contact people for my motor vehicle insurance, the motor vehicle insurance of the kid that hit my car, L&I, and medical insurance and made sure that each of them paid out what they were responsible for. They are very kind and informative and I would highly recommend.
- J.T.
I was referred to GLP by a family friend. So thankful to have had Dave and his team on my side. The only thing I had to worry about was scheduling my own doctor's appointments and recovering. Dave and his team took care of everything and gave me updates regularly. I will be recommending them to everyone.
- A.R.
You guys were awesome and I will for sure be coming back to you guys if I need to! Thank you for representing me and helping me out with that mess of a case. I really do appreciate all you guys have done for me and my family.
- S.B.
David Barrett is very personable—a really nice guy! He and his team were wonderful to work with. I hope I never need to hire him again, but if I do, he will certainly be the first one I call. Thanks for everything.
- T.H.
David Barrett worked so hard on my car accident case. There was no way I was at fault, and he could see that. While other attorneys just wanted an easy settlement and didn't want to possibly go to court, David is a fighter. I pray that I don't need his services again, but if I do, I know where to go. I have told everyone the same truth.
- H.R.
David Barrett and his team were wonderful to work with and were able to help me out a lot with my accident settlement.
