Lawyer Overview

From the moment you meet Kristi McKennon, her sincere desire to help the injured obtain a fair result is evident. A personal injury attorney for the next generation, Kristi began working at the firm in 2005 and in 2008 became a partner. Her understanding of multimedia technology and computers in the courtroom makes your case come alive for the jury.

Kristi was born and raised in the Tri-Cities and, other than her years in college and law school, this is the only place she has ever called home. Raised in a family with strong union ties as the daughter of a Local Union 598 steamfitter, Kristi has a clear appreciation for hard work, a passion for fighting for your cause and a desire to level the playing for the injured.

Kristi believes in your right to a fair trial and she has successfully tried  several of the firm's large personal injury cases.  In 2009, Kristi was chosen by the Washington State Association for Justice as the New Member of the Year.  She is the only attorney in Eastern Washington to ever receive this award.

Believing firmly in the rights of individuals and the injured, Kristi finds political involvement is key. In 2004 she was selected as a delegate to her party's state convention in Tacoma. While working her way through undergraduate and law school, Kristi participated in the management of several judicial campaigns and was on the State Board of the Washington American Civil Liberties Union.
