About Le & Kittleson

At Le & Kittleson, we fight for people whose lives have been changed in an instant by someone else’s negligence. Based in Renton, we represent injured people and their families throughout King County and across Washington State in cases involving motor vehicle and trucking collisions, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, unsafe property conditions, and wrongful death.

Our clients come to us when they are hurting, overwhelmed, and up against insurance companies with far more resources. We level that playing field. We take on the work of building each case so our clients can focus on recovery, and we pursue the full and fair compensation they deserve with relentless preparation, honest communication, and genuine compassion.

We are a small, close-knit team, and that is our strength. Every person here, from the first voice a client hears on the phone to the attorneys at the negotiating table, plays a direct role in helping our clients rebuild their lives.

Our Workplace

We are committed to building a welcoming, respectful workplace where every team member feels valued and supported. We believe a team with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives serves our clients better, and we want everyone who works here to feel they belong. We support professional growth, and we invest in training team members who want to build their skills in the legal field.
