Leo Shishmanian began his legal career in the courtroom representing defendants facing criminal charges throughout Seattle and the Puget Sound area. Over the years, Leo gained experience in other areas of law as well. 

 

Leo has been practicing law since 1994 and has extensive experience in personal injury claims investigation, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Leo presently represents persons who have been negligently injured in collisions involving automobiles, commercial vehicles and semi-trucks, motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians, and on dangerous premises and construction sites. He also has significant experience and advises and represents persons in matters involving business disputes, contracts, and real estate leases and transactions.

 

Leo's goal has always been to provide high-quality representation zealously, collegially, with compassion and the client's best interests at heart. He has developed a reputation for doing just that while communicating honestly and clearly with clients, and treating all persons involved in the process with respect and dignity. In 2001, Leo was selected by Seattle local talk radio leader KVI 570 AM to host "Leo and the Law," a live, call-in legal Q&A show which aired for 2 1/2 years.

 

Leo is admitted to practice law in Washington and Idaho. He is a 1994 graduate of Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, California, and received his undergraduate degree in history from the University of California, Davis in 1991.
