Brett McCandlis Brown and Conner PLLC

Brett McCandlis Brown and Conner PLLC describes itself as a Washington personal injury law firm and uses the tagline "Record Results. Compassionate Counsel." The Our Lawyers page says the firm was built on the foundation established by Dean Brett (retired), and that the foundation is carried forward by Paula McCandlis, David Brown, Matt Conner and the rest of the team. The site names six attorneys: David Brown, Paula McCandlis, Matt Conner, Scott Kirk, Tiffany Bailey and Adam Engst.

On credentials, the page states the attorneys have "40+ years of combined experience," and that several attorneys have received distinctions through programs such as Super Lawyers and Rising Stars, which it describes as based on peer evaluations and independent research, and have earned high ratings through platforms like Avvo. The site's disclaimer states the firm is licensed to practice law in Washington. No individual bar numbers or admission dates are published.

The cost of hiring Brett McCandlis Brown and Conner PLLC is described on the firm's Our Lawyers page in these published words: "We also work on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs or hourly fees. We are paid only if we recover compensation for you." The site does not publish a fee percentage, an hourly rate, a price list or any other rates or figures for its legal services, so no number should be quoted for what representation costs.

The firm advertises a free consultation throughout the site. The contact page describes it as a "Free Consultation With an Attorney" and as meeting "with an experienced personal injury lawyer at no cost," adding "No pressure. No obligation. Just clear, honest answers." The Seattle page repeats the same offer as a free case review, saying the firm can review the facts, medical records, insurance issues, damages and next steps.

The contact page of Brett McCandlis Brown and Conner PLLC sets out a four-step path for getting started, described there as "A Simple, Proven Path Forward." Step one is to reach out immediately by calling the office or filling out the online form. Step two is that an Intake Specialist personally reaches out to listen and learn the story. Step three is a free consultation with an attorney at no cost. Step four, stated as "If We Can Help, We Get to Work Fast," is that the legal team begins building the case.

The Seattle page separately describes how a personal injury claim typically moves, in seven phases. Phase I is investigation and evidence gathering, including medical records and police reports, witness interviews, legal research and expert medical opinions. Phase II is issuing a settlement demand to the other side. Phase III is filing a lawsuit. Phase IV is discovery, which can include depositions, written questions and demands for documents. Phase V is further negotiation once discovery is complete. Phase VI is trial, which may be a bench trial or, at the defendant's demand, a jury trial. Phase VII is an appeal, described as rare.
