Richard H. Adler

When asked, “What kind of work do you do?” I respond, “I give voice to people who’ve been wronged or harmed by someone, especially when that someone or their insurance company doesn’t make it right.” Sure, it’s a longer answer than just saying, “I’m an attorney,” but it gets to the heart of why I’m passionate about this work, which is much more meaningful. It’s often said that if you do what you love, success will follow. As the founding principal and partner at Adler Giersch, I’ve been doing what I love for more than 40 years of practice, since graduating from Georgetown Law. Injury law is second nature to me. Part of my personal mission has been to bring a better standard of legal care to the Pacific Northwest; bridging deep legal and medical knowledge, rooted in great service and outstanding results. I’ve brought together a talented team of attorneys, paralegals, and staff who are all fiercely committed to the same values and specialize in traumatic injuries like brain, spinal cord and more. Together, with our clients, we’ve become like a big, extended family, changing lives and even changing laws.
