20 years fighting for the rights of the injured and representing spouses and children
John Groseclose has represented clients like you for 18 years as a litigator. As a litigator, he has successfully obtained settlements and verdicts in many family law and personal injury cases.

John Groseclose: broad legal knowledge, successful results
John represents the injured party in civil litigation. The most common types of cases involve motor vehicle accidents and slip/trip and fall cases. John says, “If you are injured, you are almost always going to come out of the situation better with the help of an attorney. Attorneys usually make little decisions over a period of time that has a big cumulative effect.” He is an EAGLE member of the Washington State Association for Justice, an organization that connects lawyers who focus on holding powerful wrongdoers accountable. Through this organization, John Groseclose has resources and a network of other attorneys around the state who support one another in achieving justice for you and others in the courtroom.
John’s strength lies in his ability to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a case and plan accordingly. As a result, his broad knowledge of the law and years of experience mean he regularly achieves successful results for his clients.
John received his history degree from UW in 1984, and his Juris Doctor from Seattle University in 1998.
