Professional Overview

Scott is a Washington native, and earned his undergraduate degree in business from the University of Washington in 1983, and his law degree from Seattle University Law School in 1986. Immediately thereafter, Scott and his classmate Brian J. Peschel, founded Lundberg & Peschel, a personal injury law firm based in the Pioneer Square neighborhood in Seattle. They grew their practice and built a reputation for hard work, commitment, compassion, creativity and collaboration.

The original firm that Scott and Brian started 35 years ago has grown to become GLP Attorneys, Washington’s largest personal injury law firm, with 30 attorneys in offices in Seattle, Tacoma, Burlington, Spokane, Port Orchard, Vancouver, Wenatchee, Bellingham and the Tri-Cities. The firm’s 35 years of experience is solely devoted to handling plaintiff’s personal injury matters, including automobile collisions, product liability claims, premise liability actions, construction accidents, wrongful death, nursing home abuse/neglect cases, maritime injury and aviation accidents.

Since 1994, Scott has been periodically appointed as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Washington, representing Labor & Industries and workers who have been injured by the fault of entities other than their employer. He has also served as a primary tutor in the State of Washington’s Admission to Practice Rule Law Clerk Program successfully tutoring, mentoring, teaching and coaching law clerk Heather Webb (now a shareholder at GLP Attorneys) on all relevant subjects of law required for admission into Washington’s bar.

Honors include a confidential AV-Preeminent rating (1999 to present), by members of the Bar and Judiciary through the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory Association, for his legal ability and adherence to professional standards of ethics. Scott is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization that recognizes attorneys who have successfully resolved claims of their clients for one million dollars or more. Scott has been honored as a Washington “Super Lawyer” for 2007, and 2015 – 2024. In 2010 he was also named by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine as a Top Plaintiff’s Personal Injury Lawyer.
