L. JEANNE SOCKLE
ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE

I am an attorney who believes strongly in protecting the rights of people who have been injured by medical negligence. While our national health care system has made great technological advances, an outrageously high number of people are injured or killed each year by avoidable medical errors. The victims of malpractice deserve to be compensated, and those responsible must be held accountable.

I am a graduate of the Washington State Bar Association Law Clerk Program. Washington is on of the states that provide this alternative means of studying law. Rather than attending traditional law school, I worked and studied as a clerk in the law firm under the supervision of the WSBA. Before becoming an attorney, I had worked for thirteen years as a legal assistant/paralegal. I have the best of both forms of legal education - formal academic training and thirteen years of on-the-job experience. Additionally, I have an Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies from University of Maryland and my Bachelor's Degree from Evergreen State College.

I am an active member of the Washington State Trial Lawyer Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. Both organizations are dedicated to preserving the rights of injured people and to protecting the civil rights of all Americans.
