You Heal. We Handle Everything Else

Pendergast Law is AMAZING!!! A review. They have stood beside us through this entire ordeal. My husband was rear ended in a car accident and they are fighting for us to get what he deserves. They truly care about us and are fighting to get us what he deserve. I would recommend Pendergast Law to everyone!!!!!

I did not end up enlisting their legal services, but I spoke to Zach on the phone and this conversation was the most helpful I have yet experienced in dealing with my unfortunate incident. He told me that, unfortunately, there was not much that Pendergast could do in my situation, but he spent a half hour working through my options with me. I haven’t had this level of support from the police, my insurance company, or any other legal services. Though I hope I won’t, if I do experience another legal issue, I will definitely return to Pendergast.

I can’t say enough good things about Shane and his team at Pendergast Law. After being rear-ended at a red light and sustaining injuries, I was overwhelmed by the medical bills and the uncertainty of what lay ahead. I initially sought legal help hoping to at least cover my medical costs, but Shane went above and beyond—securing a settlement that not only covered my current expenses but also ensured I’d be taken care of for years to come. Throughout the entire process, Shane and his team were professional, communicative, and genuinely invested in my well-being. They handled every detail with expertise, kept me informed, and fought for the best possible outcome. I never felt like just another case; I felt like I had a team that truly had my back. If you’re looking for a personal injury attorney who will go the extra mile, I highly recommend Shane and Pendergast Law. Their dedication and results speak for themselves.

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional support I received from Pandergast Law, particularly from Pamela Whitney during one of the most challenging times in my life my car accident when I was involved in a pedestrian vs vehicle accident. Pandergast law is not just a reflection of the professional services I experienced, but also a testament to the personal strength I had faith through my God during this arduous process. From the moment I reached out to Pandergast Law after my accident, I felt a sense of relief and hope. The team was not only knowledgeable about the legal aspects of my case but also genuinely compassionate and understanding of my situation. They guided me through every step of the legal process, ensuring I understood my rights and options thoroughly. However, it was Pamela who truly stood out as a beacon of support during this tumultuous journey. Pamela's attentiveness and responsiveness made all the difference. She took the time to listen to my concerns, fears, and frustrations, acknowledging the immense emotional and physical toll the accident had taken on me. The pain and suffering I endured were compounded by the long waiting periods for medical treatments and recovery, and at times, I felt overwhelmed with despair. Yet, Pamela’s consistent encouragement and unwavering support reminded me that I was not alone. Her personalized approach assured me that my well-being was a priority, and that meant the world to me during moments when I felt vulnerable. Through all of this, my faith in God was my anchor. It grounded me and provided a sense of peace amidst chaos. I prayed for guidance and strength, and I believe that my path crossed with Pamela and Pandergast Law for a reason. Her compassion mirrored the love and support I found in my faith, and I often felt that God was using her as a vessel to guide me toward healing.

I was involved in a car accident last June. It was a difficult situation because the other driver made an illegal left turn, hitting my car and then fleeing the scene. Unfortunately, I didn't have my cell phone with me, so I couldn't call the police. The other driver claimed he had called them, but they never arrived. To make matters worse, he refused to exchange driver's and insurance information. He even pushed me to get back into his car and then drove away. I was able to get his license plate number, but that was the only solid evidence I had. I was extremely upset and unsure of what to do. When I contacted Pendergast Law Office, Delia, who initially spoke with me, was very kind and supportive. I felt comfortable asking them to represent me. Since then, I've been working with Pamela Whitney, who is managing my case. She has been not only supportive but also very thorough in her work and communicates very clearly. Despite the case becoming more complicated due to the other party's insurance company denying the claim, she has continued to work diligently with great support and patience. Furthermore, the office will only be paid upon successful resolution of the case. The Pendergast Law Office is still handling my case, and I believe they are working hard to achieve a positive outcome.

I have been very impressed on not only Pendergast law as a whole but by the individuals working on my case, I have been able to have peace of mind and know things are happening. The communication is great! Doug who has been working on my case has been forthcoming every step of the way. Thank you for your hard work, because I know things are never easy or simple.

I hired Pendergast Law in 2023 to pursue recovery from two insurance companies for a significant auto accident. From start to finish, the Pendergast team assigned to my case worked tirelessly to obtain the maximum insurance recovery available. While Shane Moriarty, Michael Kragness, Storm Shouman and Doug Kennedy were my primary contacts, I am very grateful to them and the entire Pendergast organization for their diligence and competency bringing my case to the best possible resolution. From my very first contact with them, I knew I had selected the right firm... and I never looked back.

In October 2021 I was driving on a freeway in Arizona towing a car on a trailer when a car passed me and changed lanes before getting ahead of me and hit the front my tow vehicle and caused me to lose control and crash. This totaled everything and sent me to the hospital. I spent three days there and came out wearing a body brace for seven weeks for a cracked vertebra. I was in pain for months. This was a hit and run so my insurance had to take care of this. I waited until January 2024 to try to settle for the accident. I tried to work with the insurance company for two months with no results. I contacted Pendergast Law and explained my problem and with no trouble giving the information they needed they got right on it. They kept me informed of the progress step by step and got a settlement for more than I expected six months later in September 2024. I could not be happier with the way they handled this and would highly recommend to anyone needing this kind of help. Dennis H.

Richard was truly the best Attorney I could have ever asked for. He didn't just listen to me...he HEARD me!! He helped make me feel comfortable and safe, while giving me the confidence to tell me story. Thank you Richard, having you through the toughest of times, made all the difference!!

From the start to the finish of speaking with this company I was impressed. Professional, fast, compassionate and fair. Even though they didn’t take my case they absolutely gave me solid advice and really cared. I will always use them hands down if I ever need them. Thank you for a bright part of a dark moment in our lives.

The team at Pendergast law worked tirelessly for me, from the start of the process all through my recovery and the settlement. Their expertise helped me get an amazing settlement. They are friendly, thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and they take an absolutely awful situation and do their best to make it easier for you. I was hit by a DUI driver and faced a long recovery, surgery, and more to recover from the accident, and everyone at Pendergast ensured I got the care and compensation I deserved. They will do right by *you* and make sure you are cared for. I hope to never need their services again, but am grateful to know they are there if they are needed.

Losing a family member unexpectedly is one of the most challenging situations I have faced. I want to personally recognize Storm Shouman for his professionalism, timely response and making my experience through this process a positive one. I highly recommend Pendergast Law in Renton to anyone looking for a team that shows compassion during such a difficult time. Thank you!

I’ll give them a 5 star. Even though they couldn’t take my case because my settlement wasnt the biggest they weren’t greedy but instead gave me multiple solutions on what I can do to get through my situation. Definitely a lot more helpful and useful than my previous lawyers who just withdrew from my case and didn’t give me any other solutions.

Storm Shouman was extremely knowledgeable and skilled in handling my case. They provided excellent guidance and achieved a favorable outcome."I highly recommend my lawyer for their professionalism and dedication to my case. They were always available to answer any questions and kept me informed throughout the process. I was impressed by my lawyer's attention to detail and strategic approach.

Pedergast law was superb in handling my case. I didn't even think about filing a case for a slip and fall injury until a family member recommended I reach out to Pendergast law and I'm so happy I did. They were very professional and understanding and helped me settle my case and I couldn't be happier. I had the privilege of working with Zach Kozma and he absoloutly amazing. I highly recommend this law firm.

I had the great pleasure of working with Zach . He was incredible throughout this journey of mine . I was involved in a car accident where someone hit me from behind and I called Pendergast Law . This team was so quick to give me a call and right away took care of me . I was never stress or had to worry about anything . Thank you all so much for your time and effort !

Im not sure how I’m so late to give this review, but better late than never! I will only use this law firm from now on. This was my first major car accident that I needed to get help with. Zach, was everything! From the moment I called I knew I made the right decision. Zach and the rest of the team literally took care of everything from start to finish and not only kept me up to date, but even just checking in on me to make sure I was okay. I have them saved in my phone, they’re stuck with me from here on out. Thank you all so much for exceeding every expectation and for being just so wonderful. While I hope I won’t have any car accidents or anything in the near future, if I do, it’ll be a pleasure to work with you all again.

Pendergast Law; supported me, walked with me, advocated for me when my voice was overshadowed by the mean, and rude tempered insurance people. My very own investment in insurance became a nightmare after a very bad accident. I felt like they were shoulder to shoulder every step of the way during a very difficult time. Pendergast was the authentic professionals who were always accessible, excellent communication with great quality of service. I met the team in person, and joy exploded in my heart. I was again greeted with big smiles, kindness hugs and support for my next steps.

In December of 2021, my fiancée and I were hit from behind / involved in a rear end collision. I recently started a new job and my fiancée had just recovered from a previous car accident. The timing couldn't be worse. Thankfully, Pendergast Law took on the burden of our stressful situation and made it a seamless process. If I'm ever in a situation like this again, I know I'll be in good hands with Pendergast Law.

Highly recommend! I had the greatest experience working with Zach Kozma and Pendergast Law. They helped me handle nearly everything after a bad car accident two years ago. I wasn't sure if I would be able to recover from that, physically and financially, but they made sure I received the best care and outcome. Could not be more thankful!

Pendergast Law and the whole team are very attentive, blatantly honest and supportive. I had a horrible accident followed by two surgeries, months of physical therapy and over 6 months out of work. They kept me up to date and made a point to check in on me through the whole process. I'm so appreciative of the team, especially Shane and I'm so happy with the end result. I 100% suggest using this law firm.

I was involved in an accident where the driver that struck me died at the scene, and I ended up breaking my back and sternum. The vehicle that struck me had state minimum insurance and left nothing to go after for my necessary care and surgery. Storm Shouman and his team were able to handle all the insurance claims while still finding ways to get a settlement from my insurance companies that I never would have even though about. He was amazing and very communicative along the way. Highly enjoyed working with him and he made a bad situation bearable. Thank you for everything Storm!

zach and shane went above and beyond for me with my case. i cannot express in words how grateful i am to them and the overall firm. they made sure to check in on me throughout my case making sure everything was good and always kept me up to date with what was going on. again i am so grateful!! thank you guys so much!!

It was an honor to be able to work with Pendergast Law. I was in my first automobile accident and they led me step my step through out the whole process. There were days where I know I maybe wasn’t the best client, mainly because this whole process was so overwhelming but they got me through it! I also really appreciated the follow up call that I received from Zach Kozma. I spoke with him initially and when he saw that my case was finally settled he called to check in and say how happy he was for me that this can now be put behind me. Thank you all again!!

I highly recommend Pendergast law firm and if was able to leave a 10 star review for Zach the Paraleagal that worked on my case I would. I wasn’t going to use a attorney. I thought dealing with my car insurance company would be easy and fairly cut and dry. It was not. I learned quickly it is the job of the insurance company to not fairly take care of you. I was treated rudely and unfairly by my car insurance company. Zach and Pendergast firm helped me all along the way being patient with me and helping with so many things. Zach went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care and understood the whole process. We settled for more than I was expecting. I trust Zach and Pendergast completely. I have recommended them to several people and will continue to.

I highly recommend Pendergast Law! I was in an accident and my insurance was trying to tell me I was fine when I wasn’t. I contacted Pendergast law and they helped me be able to sleep through the nigh without pain. I was able to continue medical treatment for issues caused by the accident and I was able to make leaps and bounds in recovery due to their assistance! I will forever recommend them! Zach Kozma was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Zach and his team are fantastic! I appreciate everything they’ve done for me ❤️

I was extremely pleased with the services provided by Pendergast Law. They are very qualified, and compassionate in providing legal assistance to those of us who have been injured. From the first time I called they were patient and made sure they provided me with guidance and knowledge to enable me to understand the legal process as it pertained to my case. I would highly recommend Pendergast Law to all in need of assistance post-accident injury.

Pendergast Law helped my family through one of the toughest times in our lives. They were understanding and so kind from the first moment we met with them. They went above and beyond to ensure we knew what was happening at all times and all of our options that were available. Thank you to Mark and Jackie for your hard work and for being there to support us in every step of the way.

I highly recommend Pendergast Law to anyone who finds themselves in a situation where excellent legal representation is necessary. The whole team took extra care in advising me of my rights in an honest and knowledgeable manner. I will forever be grateful for the respect I was given and their care and understanding in answering all my questions. I was impressed by the professionalism and integrity of the team. I felt confident that my case was being handled by people who had my best interest as their first priority. I recommend Pendergast Law to anyone who is looking for honest working professionals to legally represent them, and comfortable that they will not be disappointed. Thank you, Pendergast Law!

I could not have had a better experience with Hardwick and Pendergast. From start to finish they treated me with kindness and care, which we all can use after a car accident. There was simple intake to get started and clear communication, I appreciated the regular updates from the team. It was clear from the beginning I was in good hands. My case was settled in a timely manner, and I’m very happy with the settlement amount. I was stuck in an exhausting back and forth with an unprincipled insurance company, they put a lot of effort into a clear attempt to exhaust me into an unfair settlement. Someone recommend Hardwick and Pendergast to me and it was the BEST decision I made. I highly recommend to anyone reading this, don’t hesitate to let them take over and handle the hard stuff for you after an accident. I know exactly where to go if myself, or a family member is in this situation again. A big thank you to everyone at the office! Special thanks to Storm; your efforts and kindness was exemplary.

Had a great experience with Hardwick & Pendergast Law. They are professional & responsive through the whole process of my claim. Jackie is amazing and very knowledgeable. She explained the process and kept us updated if there were any changes. She truly cared about my wellbeing and if I was getting the proper care. Truly grateful to have someone who cared and supported me through this difficult stressful time. Hardwick & Pendergast Law were able to settle my case and I received more than expected. I'm very happy with the outcome and I highly recommend this firm.

I highly recommend Hardwick and Pendergast, after I was hit by a car while crossing the street I googled "Renton personal injury lawyer" they were the first to come up. They were so easy to work with and answered any questions I had throughout the whole process. Zach and Javier were amazing! They helped me get what was fair and I really appreciate all the time they put into my case. I would definitely use them again in the future if needed. Javier went above and beyond what I had anticipated. Thank you again guys!

After seeing some commercials on TV for Pendergast Law, I gave them a call in regards to an automobile accident. I spoke to "Zach" - In their intake department... to go over the basics of my case. Zach was friendly, courteous and professional in our discussion. I spoke to 6-8 firms prior to Pendergast Law, and they were all very short conversations and not very helpful. Zach took the extra time to discuss some of the nuances of my case. And for that reason I highly recommend Pendergast Law.

Everyone at Hardwick and Pendergast hard working individuals. I got into a auto accident pre covid and they help me get the care and attention I needed. Jackie helped me from day one get everything in order. They kept me updated with all the changes happening in my case. They did great and produce a great outcome for me and my family! 100% recommend them!

If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident, I highly recommend Hardwick & Pendergast. My wife and I got into a bad accident a couple of years ago so I immediately started looking for an attorney because I knew the other party's insurance would try to make low offers to settle. I chose Hardwick & Pendergast after researching other firms and I'm so glad I did. Everyone at Hardwick & Pendergast were very professional and helped us through every step of our claim. With this being our first major car accident, they made sure to communicate with us consistently and answered all of our questions and concerns that we had. Special thank you to Ann and Shane, who did an amazing job with our personal injury case, from start to finish. They both made us feel at ease with a stressful situation and made sure we were compensated from our injuries.

I was injured at a restaurant with a concussion, and needed help with a course of action in how to proceed with medical bills as well as being informed of what my options were about dealing with a personal injury. After many interviews with Seattle law firms, Hardwick and Pendergast was a choice of representation that I will always be great full for. Not only did they provide me with valuable information and options, they treated me with respect, were empathetic, and always had time to answer my questions. Even though my settlement was more than I thought I was going to get, the staff at Hardwick and Pendergast made me feel like I was NOT just a client, but I was a member of the family. For a first rate experience with dealing with personal injuries, and attorney's that ware make their clients a priority, Hardwick and Pendergast is there to help you!

My truck was hit with hail damage on March 28,2021. My insurance company USAA made a million excuses to not pay the claim. After 4 months of angst with USAA they denied the claim. I reached out to Hardwick and Pendergast. They listened reviewed all my data, They contacted USAA. USAA paid the claim in full minus the deductable. I am a 25 year member of USAA it was quite a shock to be treated like this. Something I learned in this process, Regardless of the proof of the legitimacy of the claim, if the Insurance company does not want to pay your legitimate claim.. as consumers they have us painted in a corner. Your left with no option but to enlist an Attorney. H&P were very through, responsive, professional. If I need an attorney for anything I will call them first. Thanks

Shane and JP were amazing at handling my case, they took what could’ve been a very stressful situation and made it so stress free . Being my first situation like this , they provided great guidance and information throughout the process that made me at ease . I will definitely be recommending them to any friends and family that may need their services in the future .

I was very anxious about the process of making sure that my settlement was going to cover all the medical bills that my insurance PIP wouldn't cover. Zach stuck with me every step of the way, answered every question I had, and assured me that wouldn't happen. After closing I had more than enough payout to cover those bills amd was even able to get a new matress to help me sleep sounder. He didn't let my insurance company get away with cheating me out of the help I deserved! Thank you Hardwick and Pendergast for all your hard work and diligence on my case!

My experience with Hardwick and Pendergast was professional, efficient, and caring. They made me feel like all I needed to do was worry about my recovery while they took care of the rest. So with ending results leaving me speechless and very happy, I can say I can recommend this groups of professionals with the up most confidence anyone will be satisfied with their representation. 😁

I needed help when I was in a car accident. I got t-boned by a red light runner going 45 mph. I know that I needed a good attorney for this incident because of the total lost of the car and my serious body injuries. I chose Hardwick & Pendergast and I'm super happy that I did! They were perfect in communication, were always there to help me out with questions, along with being friendly and supportive. Two people that helped me were Ann and Zach. They were fantastic. I'm really glad that I reached out to this firm!

Automobile accident 2020. Absolutely a fantastic organization to work with !! Special thanks to Ann Brazel !! They took the stress off my shoulders, and carried it for me. Through research conducted by my son, a client of mine who is a retired attorney, and myself I chose Hardwick & Pendergast. I was never sorry I did. Many attorneys advertise on all kinds of media, but Hardwick & Pendergast are quieter. This proved to be great for me. Walk softly, but firm in action they were. They turned a negative into a plus monetarily for me. There is not enough space hear to express my gratitude.

They did great work for me. I tried navigating the insurance world by myself after getting t-boned and it was really overwhelming and stressful. I contacted their office and they took care of everything- no more pressuring phone calls from the other driver’s insurance company! They were upfront about the process, thoughtful about checking in with me, and responsive when I had questions. I’m really glad I made the decision to call them.

I would recommend Hardwick and pendergast and associates for any legal situations I recently hired them to represent me in a lawsuit where I was hit by a vehicle and then ran over in a grocery store parking lot and from the minute that I called them they were very friendly and understanding and wanted to help me the best way possible. When I was finally able to quit going to the doctor the pandemic hit . However even during the state shutdown stay at home order in Washington they were still able to get all the documents they needed for the best possible outcome. with their knowledge they knew exactly what to do to provide me the best possible outcome. I hope to never need their service again but if I do I know right who to call.

Thank you Hardwick and Pendergast team for helping me with two separate car accident cases. I was happy with how Ann Brazel helped me with my first car accident case in 2013, that I went back for more help for my 2018 case. This is a hardworking team who fought for me against the tricky car insurances. I feel Ann Brazel, and Jackie who handled the medical records were so great at communicating with me, and keeping me informed with the status of things. I highly recommend them!

Going to Hardwick & Pendergast after my car accident was the best decision I could've made. The process of getting all my medical costs covered was absolutely painless and their staff was so friendly, sympathetic, and professional. At every step of the process, I'd get a call from Zach, who would explain what was going on, answer any questions, outline my options, and let me know what was going to happen next and how long it might take. Definitely 5-star treatment and well worth the money for this level of effectiveness and peace of mind.

I was in a car accident in May 2019, and after trying to deal with the insurance by myself, I decided to hire Hardwick & Pendergast. Right away, Mia gathered the info needed and took over. I had many questions along the way, and she was always right there with knowledgable answers and making me feel at ease. A few months later, she was able to settle with the insurance company and get me four times what I originally wanted from them! The firm handled everything professionally from the beginning and I felt reassured through the entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Wow. These guys were super nice!!! I called to ask a few questions about a possible case. The time and care he took to listen, let me know what I could do but also confirmed I was on the right path with the case claim we had going was good. See where we go from there and at that point, evaluate whether his or any attorney services are needed. Definitely think he's earned my trust!

I highly recommend this firm to anyone. My old man was in an accident while out of state and needed to be airlifted to the nearest medical facility due to his injuries and location of the accident, while I got word of this and after the dust settled and his health gradually improved thank God, I knew it wouldn't be cheap for the poor old man therefore, I almost immediately contacted Hardwick & Pendergast to see what the options were. From the moment we placed foot in the office we were treated like family, everyone was extremely helpful during the whole process and to our greater surprise, his case was settled within a matter of a few months and even more shocking was the amount he was able to collect. I cannot thank them enough for all the hard work and effort that was put into his case to the point where I have even referred my brother in-law who also needed legal assistance. Thank you so much Mr. Pendergrast for a job well done.

This firm helped me SO much through my car accident. I was rear ended while pregnant & Hardwick & Pendergast made the process so simple & really had my back! Special shoutout to Ann who is SO sweet and genuinely cares about her clients! It’s hard these days to find the genuine, caring, professional high-level service she provides! Thank you ALL!

Hardwick & Pendergast was recommended to me by a friend after a bad car accident. The staff was incredibly caring and wonderful to work with. All calls to the office were returned rather quickly, emails were answered within 24 hours or faster, and I was treated with respect during the entire process. Knowing they were taking care of everything took that stress off my shoulders so I could relax and heal. My settlement was far more than I expected. I was very pleased at how Hardwick & Pendergast stood by me, making my needs more important than getting to the end of the settlement. Being patient and putting my trust in them paid off.

Love them, I got rear ended back in 2011 and being only 20 I had no idea what to do or how things work when you got in an accident. Luckily I knew to at least get the other persons info but my chiropractor referred me to this law firm and I loved them. I worked with Ann and she was so helpful and did everything for me, she even said she has never had such a hard time with the other insurance. We worked together and I got the money to get my rear bumper fixed and I always recommend them to come workers and family. I can't thank them enough for their help and hopefully I won't have to use them in the future, but if I do I will definitely go back to them.

This is a very professional, efficient and honest law firm! I was the victim of a hit and run at Pike Street Market on August 13, 2015. The next day after my release from the hospital, I signed a contract with Hardwick & Pendergast, P.S. to represent me. I live in downtown Seattle and don’t drive or own a car, but was able to do nearly everything on the Internet, snail mail and phone conversations with H&Ps knowledgeable, polite and friendly legal staff located in Renton. I know from past experience that things legal can drag on for many months, or even years; however, in about 90 days, I had my settlement check for more than what I thought possible! THANKS H&P FOR MY FREE HAWAIIAN VACATION WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES! Today, I feel twice blessed – to have made a long recovery in a short time for what should have been a fatal accident or serious injury – and to have received generous compensation for the potentially deadly rendezvous in a crosswalk with a speeding automobile going in excess of 40 MPH.

My mom was rear-ended on the freeway, causing injury to her. She was injured and in need of help. The insurance companies were making her life difficult. I had heard about Hardwick & Pendergast and sent my mom there. I could not be more pleased with the way they treated her and helped her through this stressful and traumatic time. The staff was wonderful and Mr. Pendergast went above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend him and his law firm.
