Our Practice Areas
What Practice Areas Does Our Law Office Represent in Bellingham, WA?
Have you been adversely affected by injustice in the workplace?
Employment Law
We have decades of experience representing clients who are taking on their employers and businesses for alleged wrongdoing, including sexual harassment, termination, retaliation, contract disputes, breaches of contracts, severance agreements, and more.
Have you or a loved one been injured at the fault of another?
Personal Injury
If you have been harmed in an accident caused by someone else’s reckless actions, you should not be the party on the hook for costly medical expenses and other financial losses. The at-fault party would be held liable for all damages. As your professional legal counsel, the attorney will investigate the facts, gather evidence, consult with experts, and speak with witnesses to build a strong personal injury case capable of recovering a fair settlement.
Do you need to overturn an adverse court decision or defend a judgment in your favor?
Sometimes, just because the trial is over, doesn’t mean the legal matters have concluded. While many cases should not be appealed, the decision to appeal may be worthwhile after carefully reviewing relevant pleadings, applicable laws, and the financial consequences. This is a court’s decision. Additionally, some parties may wish to defend the judge’s decision from a prospective appeal, and legal counsel to assist them through the process of an appellate court.
Client Success Stories
I had acquired Coppinger law back in 2019. They were always very friendly and helpful in everything I needing throughout this case. It was a long case but in the end things worked out for me. I would highly recommend her firm to anyone looking for a honest and professional attorney. Thanks Coppinger Law.
I highly recommend Coppinger Law P.S. The legal process can be a long arduous process. I had confidence in Carrie from the beginning and was amazed by her skill, especially through several days of depositions. She was extremely professional and fierce when necessary. I am grateful she took my case and she was able to achieved a favorable outcome.
It has been such a pleasure to work with, and be represented by Coppinger Carter. I have felt supported, cared for, and looped in throughout the entire process. Ms. Coppinger Carter mixes professionalism, and eloquence with such an incredible embrace on the emotional side as well, and the staff were all phenomenal too. Could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.
