Law PracticeWashington, United States2-10 Employees

I like helping people and the entities they serve solve problems. Corporations, government, and individuals have called on me and my firm to handle a wide variety of matters over the years—so I have a broad background, and a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving.

My firm serves or has served as litigation counsel in many hotly contested, complex matters of many kinds (see SimpsonLawFirm.com).

And my firm also serves or has served corporations as outside corporate counsel—as the “ounce of prevention” handling business transactions and contracts, governance, employment, and other matters (see Practice Areas).

My firm also serves or has served as government counsel and counsel for public officials .

Clients often prefer quick-and-efficient resolution to problems, where possible. Although litigation might be the best way to achieve solutions,  litigants often prefer ADR—when the case is ripe. Because I see merit in preserving assets and in achieving certainty in mediation, I serve as a mediator (see DougSimpsonADR.com). I serve or have served on four mediator panels, including mediator panels of the San Diego and Los Angeles Superior Courts, and the American Arbitration Association.

I’ve been honored with a Martindale-Hubbell A-V Preeminent rating.  I’ve practiced civil litigation, corporate law, and government law since 1988, primarily in Southern California--now in Tacoma, Washington too. I’ve represented individuals, companies large and small, government entities, insurers, contractors, developers, manufacturers, start-up companies—you name it.

I’ve learned a lot over three decades about efficiently litigating cases to excellent outcomes, and about negotiating solutions that bring a quick end to expensive, protracted litigation where possible. I’ve tried cases, appealed cases, arbitrated cases, and negotiated settlements in cases. I’ve litigated in state and federal courts, and before administrative tribunals.
