Seattle plaintiff attorney Mike
Withey has been fighting for
justice for 35 years.

An award-winning trial attorney who is highly regarded by his peers, Mike is known for taking - and winning - cases that other lawyers turned down. He's an out-of-the-box thinker who brings innovation and creativity to his work. In the 1980s, Mike taught foreign dictators like Ferdinand Marcos that they can be held responsible for murdering their opponents in the US. (Estates of Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes vs. Marcos) He's not afraid of taking on corporate giants. Mike exposed Boeing's use of its electrical workers as human research subjects into experimentation on Electromagnetic Pulse Radiation. (Strom v. Boeing) During the WTO meeting in 1999, hundreds of protesters were falsely arrested. Mike vindicated their constitutional rights and won a multi-million dollar verdict for the protesters. (Hankin v. Seattle) Mike has also won precedent-setting public interest lawsuits which: opened up the longshore and construction trades for women and minorities; brought consumers relief from defective products like the Behr wood stain; held insurance companies liable for bad faith denials of much needed benefits and coverage; made sure companies used safe work practices which saved construction workers their lives and livelihood; provided compensation for residents of apartment buildings and condominium associations with damp and moldy premises; held the State Department of Corrections accountable for proper classification and supervision of offenders who victimized the public; defended whistleblowers at Hanford to get the truth out.
