About Patrick J. Kang

After graduating cum laude from Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics Patrick worked as a case manager for a personal injury law firm. It was there that he realized that he wanted to become a lawyer so that he too could help others in their time of need. Patrick attended Willamette University in Salem, Oregon and was admitted to the Washington State Bar in 2000. Patrick joined Premier Law Group as a partner in 2004 and has since helped numerous individuals in their discrimination and/or retaliation claims against their employers as well as claims of non-payment of wages. Patrick has also represented hundreds of individuals who have suffered serious physical injuries as a result of the negligence of others.

Patrick is a member of the Washington State Association for Justice (formerly Washington State Trial Lawyers Association). He is admitted to practice in the United States District Courts of Western and Eastern Washington and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He was recently named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Washington State by the National Trial Lawyers, which is an award given to those attorneys that exemplify superior qualifications, trial results and leadership in their respective state. He has also been named a “Rising Star” by Washington Super Lawyers Magazine – an award given out to the top 2.5% of lawyers under the age of 40 in the state; has an AV rating (the highest rating possible) on Martindale Hubbell; and a 10 rating (out of 10) on the Avvo.com website.

Patrick and his wife, Jaime, are the parents of two beautiful children. When Patrick is not working he is busy spending time with his family. Patrick is also an avid golfer and soccer player.

Hired Attorney

Patrick is a wonderful lawyer. He consistently kept me up to date with my case and answered all of my questions quickly. He truly is a man with a good heart who cares about his clients and their lives. There are few people in the world who are out there to help people and Patrick is one of those people. I feel truly lucky to have such an excellent lawyer on my side.

Hired Attorney

Not a good lawyer. Dismissive in front of me, did not take me as a client because I didn't have enough money, past my case of as mild were I was routinely harrassed and bullied at work to the point where a male worker pressed his junk up against me and profiled me as looking like I went to prison. As I told Patrick kang this he continued to roll his eyes at me and stated you have no case because they were not doing this because of your race color creed ethnicity religion status. They simply did not like you. I sat there in stunned silence as he smiled and walked out of the room. Not a good lawyer I would not recommend him.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
