Best of Three-Peat
Once again we were honored to be voted “Best Personal Injury Firm” in our home county. This third win makes it a three-peat, a phrase that originated with the great Los Angeles Lakers.
This recognition, sponsored by the daily newspaper in Tacoma, affirms our boutique firm’s approach to providing clients the best service and the best results.
What follows is an interview about the firm published by the Best of Pierce County magazine.
As an aviation and injury law firm, the team at Mark Lindquist Law takes great care in effectively portraying a client’s story and keeping effective lines of communication open as they navigate forward.
“We’ve found this helps families feel supported and also helps us win the best results,” said Mark Lindquist, owner of the firm.
Known for their success in high-profile cases, including plane crash disasters, Mark describes disaster cases as being like mystery novels – something went awry and now there is a puzzle to be solved.
As a bestselling novelist and book reviewer, Mark understands the impact that stories have on people and the way cases are perceived. Mark believes that since we all understand the world through stories, it is important to tell a compelling story to best impact an audience.
Mark’s firm takes on cases where three conditions are met. “First, we are confident in the case. Second, we are confident in the client. Third, we are confident we’re a good match.” Mark calls this the trifecta.
Limiting cases in this way gives the team time to give every case the full focus necessary for the best service and results. The firm works with the motto “Your Case is Our Cause.” Once a case is accepted, it becomes the team’s cause in the sense that they are fully focused and committed.
When the Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed outside Jakarta, the cause was initially a mystery. Families wanted answers. Mark said his deep satisfaction from the successful results in the two Max 8 crashes isn’t just about the financial compensation, but the sense of accountability, justice, and closure provided to families.
Mark says that the team is aiming to repeat that success as they pursue answers and accountability for their 35 clients in the Max 9 case where the door plug blew out at 16,000 feet. If the plane had been at cruising level, this could have been a repeat of the Max 8 crashes.
“Prior to that case, I rarely wore my seat belt on a plane. Now I always do.” The law firm has an excellent relationship with a variety of media outlets and the firm’s cases, aviation cases and those against government agencies, tend to be of interest to the public. A spotlight on a case brings pressure on defendants and attention to important issues.
Before becoming an injury lawyer, Mark was an elected prosecutor for almost ten years and was well versed in litigation, including jury trials. He says he often suggests to law students to start out in prosecution as it helps set people up for a career as an injury lawyer.
From a practical standpoint, prosecutors learn to be comfortable in the courtroom from trying dozens of cases in front of juries, carrying the burden of proof, and working with victims to tell their story.
From a philosophical standpoint, prosecutors and plaintiff attorneys are similarly focused on supporting victims, holding the bad actors accountable, and justice.
This dedication to helping clients has earned the firm recognition as Best Personal Injury Law Firm in Pierce County for three years in a row, a “three-peat.” Mark says that while accolades and big verdicts and settlements are all great, it’s not the team’s primary focus.
“We’ve won awards and we’ve won tens of millions of dollars for clients, but it all follows from focusing on delivering the best service and results for our clients.” Mark adds, “We are still friends with many former clients. We appreciate updates on their lives and stories.”
