Welcome to the law offices of
Rob Williamson & Kim Williams
We established the Williamson & Williams law firm in 1998, and currently maintain two offices: one on Capitol Hill in Seattle, and one on Bainbridge Island. We represent clients in class actions against businesses sending out “junk” faxes as well as businesses that make “robo-calls” to residences, cellular phones and businesses for commercial solicitation or collection purposes. We also represent workers in class actions against their employers for claims involving wage and hour disputes, including overtime pay, and handle class actions against banks that charge illegal fees when loans are paid off, claiming the charges are not allowed by the deeds of trust and violate the Consumer Protection Act. We have represented injured persons with claims arising from automobile accidents, medical negligence, injuries sustained while working on tankers, freighters, tugs and fishing vessels, construction site injury incidents and other on the job injuries. We also represent railroad workers who are injured on the job. We have pursued products liability claims for persons who used Vioxx®, as well as clients affected by latex allergies resulting from wearing latex gloves.
We represent clients in the following kinds of cases:
