I sought Derek Allchurch's counsel following a significant rear-end collision in Seattle that left me with ongoing back issues. While his primary practice is in Calgary, his expertise, particularly the recognition in Personal Injury Litigation noted by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident in our consultations. Derek demonstrated a sharp, analytical approach to my case, breaking down the complexities of Washington state liability laws and insurance negotiations with remarkable clarity for an attorney with his level of experience. He was genuinely empathetic, which mattered greatly during a stressful time. His strategic advice on documenting my injuries and treatment was invaluable, leading to a settlement that adequately covered my medical costs and lost wages. My only slight critique would be that communication response times could occasionally be a day or two during very busy periods, though his updates were always thorough when they arrived. Overall, I felt confidently represented by Derek and the team at Pipella Law. I would certainly recommend him to anyone in need of a diligent personal injury attorney.
