Personal Injury Law

Never far from being reminded of my job

By Bill Marler

Sitting on my deck in the village of Oia on the Island of Santorini is about the last place I thought I would think about why my job is so important. I then received this email:

Hi Bill,

I hope you, your family and your terrific team in Seattle are doing well! I came across a "snippet" of you on Larry King-sort of vicariously when he announced his retirement-but it lead me to an interview you did along with Barbara Kowalcyk. I was very moved by her story, taken back to our own struggle with [our own daughter], and was reminded how lucky we were to dodge that bullet. I promptly looked into her organization...their goals...and ways to help spread their message. I hope to hear back very soon. If ever I may be able to help another family or support the work you do aside from your litigation, please don't hesitate to ask. Not a day goes by that I don't think how lucky we are to be traveling to colleges and planning [her] future.

You and your wonderful people "high in the sky" there in Seattle crossed my mind today!

All the Best,

[…..] Mom

I have had the honor in seventeen years to have represented (along with great lawyers and staff) thousands of people whose lives were forever changed because they ate food that a manufacturer did not take the proper precautions to remove a pathogen that then altered a life. I have had the privilege to have helped rebuild lives, or to have at least brought closure.

Even in Santorini, I am never far from being reminded of my job.
