I recently announced that my new book on wrongful death claims was just published. I’m pleased to say that my book has received some very favorable reviews from other lawyers across the country and in Canada:
“Although I practice law in Florida, I have relatives who live in Seattle. So I’m familiar with Washington’s complicated wrongful [...]
For immediate release –
Seattle attorney Chris Davis of the Davis Law Group in Seattle announces that he has recently published his fourth book in the field of personal injury and accident law. This book, “Wrongful Death in Washington” focuses on the wrongful death claims.
