Pfau Cochran Vertetis Amala PLLC (PCVA) was founded in 2009 by four attorneys who shared a vision: to create a law firm dedicated to standing up for plaintiffs and holding powerful institutions accountable. From its start with just eight attorneys, the firm has grown into one of the largest plaintiff-only firms in Washington, with a team of over 30 attorneys and a track record of securing justice for those who have been harmed.
PCVA has recovered over $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients, achieving life-changing results in cases involving sexual abuse, medical malpractice, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, and government and corporate misconduct. The firm has taken on some of the most challenging cases in Washington and across the country, frequently securing precedent-setting victories that lead to meaningful legal and policy changes. Year after year, more than 75 percent of PCVA’s attorneys are recognized on the Super Lawyers or Rising Stars lists, reflecting the firm’s consistent excellence and impact.
Beyond the courtroom, PCVA is committed to making a difference in the community. The firm actively supports legal advocacy groups, mentors young attorneys, and contributes to charitable initiatives that align with its mission of justice. Whether representing survivors of abuse, advocating for the injured, or fighting against systemic wrongdoing, PCVA remains dedicated to protecting the rights of those who need it most.
