Seattle attorney Damisi Velasquez is a trial lawyer who has exclusively practiced plaintiff side personal injury since 2008. In that time, he has recovered over $1,000.000.00 for his clients via settlements, arbitration awards and jury verdicts. Although a settlement is often the most efficient way to resolve a case, Damisi’s experience has been that to get the best offer from the defendant’s insurance, he and the client must work together closely to demonstrate that they are prepared to present a strong case. To that end, Damisi prepares for every case as if it is going to trial, no matter the size. Damisi is a Seattle native who attended elementary school, high school, college and law school in Seattle. Prior to practicing law, Damisi worked for a couple of reputable start up companies before he changed gears and moved to the San Francisco Bay area, where he began working in the non-profit arena. It was here that he developed his passion for helping others. After re-evaluating his personal and professional goals, Damisi decided to return to the Puget Sound area and attended law school at Seattle University School of Law. Before he moved to plaintiff side personal injury, Damisi worked at a well-known insurance defense firm in Seattle. There he learned the common strategies and tactics used by defense attorneys to weaken plaintiffs’ cases.
