About

For more than 30 years now, my practice has consisted of representing both plaintiffs and defendants in a broad range of litigation in state and federal courts in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and elsewhere. These cases have ranged from simple disputes up to large class action lawsuits and other complex litigation. I have also represented parties in a broad range of disputes that were resolved in arbitrations. I have served as an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association, NASD (now FINRA), and King County Superior Court, and as a Mediator and Arbitrator on the Rule 39.1 panel for the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.  I began my legal career in the Seattle office of Bogle & Gates. This was formerly one of the largest law firms and litigation practices in the Pacific Northwest, and I served as a litigation associate and partner there for nineteen years. When Bogle & Gates broke up in 1999, I joined Karr Tuttle Campbell as a litigation shareholder and have been there ever since. I am admitted to practice in Washington, Oregon and Idaho state courts, and in the federal system before the United States District Courts for the Districts of Western and Eastern Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Northern California, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.

Erik is an absolutely brilliant attorney and I was very fortunate to have Erik on my side in a complex dispute amongst partners. Erik was a pillar of strength in guiding me through the whole arbitration process. My case was emotionally stressful and took several months, and at times I wanted to give up, but Erik’s support, guidance and confidence got me through it. We won the case and recovered more than we had hoped for. Erik had the great insight to foresee and anticipate every move the opposition was going to make. Time and again I saw him approaching the immediate matters with a clear strategy and an eye on the end game. Erik was not only a great legal counsel but an excellent human being to work with. Not being so well versed with the legal world, the journey wasn’t always easy but Erik with his constant communication and patient approach successfully got us through it all with an amazing win. I would highly recommend Erik to anyone looking for the best to represent them.

I was referred to Erik 5 years ago when my legal situation was just starting to unfold. Given the nature of what we were up against I was looking for a miracle. But looking back on our path to victory I would be greatly remiss in crediting a miracle for the job Erik did. He was very thorough and methodical. His conservative and dedicated approach to the matter was instrumental in recovering more than I could have hoped for. Also, as my experience and background had nothing to do with law I very much appreciated the constant communication and patience Erik exhibited with me over that long haul. Of course Erik is not a one man show. There were a handful of others that were indispensable in this effort. But Erik was an excellent leader in bringing all of the pieces together. Needless to say I would never rely on a miracle with respect to a legal matter when I could call Erik.

I have worked with Erik on three different legal cases. Two of them involved litigation and the third had the potential for litigation that ended in an intense negotiated settlement. We won both litigations and negotiated a settlement that was fair and smart. Erik’s combination of understanding the global legal issues and attention to the significant details has made him a Trusted Ally. Erik’s preparation and knowledge separated him from opposing counsel. We were never outmatched. If I or my company were to have another legal issue I will be calling Erik to handle our legal needs. I feel very lucky to have found Erik and to have him represent my firm. Not many of my business peers can speak as highly of their representation as I can.

I served as General Counsel for a major pipeline company operating in the Pacific Northwest. Over the years we had need for outside litigation counsel on several occasions. Each time I called upon Erik Lied to be my lead counsel. He proved himself always to be quick to respond, be well prepared no matter the circumstances or needs and knowledgable as to the facts and applicable law related to the matter at hand. Equally important, was his awareness and understanding of the opposing counsel and trial judge...most helpful information when the GC is many miles away and not familiar with the local judicial system. If/when the need arises for outside litigation counsel in Seattle and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Erik Lied is my go to guy.

I can highly recommended Erik Lied. He won not one but two highly complex and complicated multi-state, multi-year cases for me that other attorneys told me I just couldn't win and must settle. He is bright, quick, and I say "Vigilant" because he just doesn't miss a thing. I was kept updated at all times and also received his evaluation of where we stood, where there were risks, and what we needed to accomplish next on a near constant basis. He also worked hard for me to keep costs under control. I have since recommended Erik to a represent a group of investors in Portland, Oregon who were struggling to get their fair share of a large settlement securities settlement. He handled it well and to everyone's satisfaction. I also recommended a friend who was a real underdog in a case that looked hopeless to him. After meeting with him, Erik agreed to take that case and won it for him. If you have need of an excellent trial attorney, for defense, or on the offense; I can't think of a better or wiser man to have on your team. His knowledge is deep and varied. In the Marines we often evaluated a man by considering whether you would choose to have him at your back in a real battle. Erik would be one of my very first choices. He would be my very first call if a future legal problem should appear.

I would highly recommend Erik to anyone looking for the best to represent them.

I was referred to Erik 5 years ago when my legal situation was just starting to unfold. Given the nature of what we were up against I was looking for a miracle. But looking back on our path to victory I would be greatly remiss in crediting a miracle for the job Erik did. He was very thorough and methodical. His conservative and dedicated approach to the matter was instrumental in recovering more than I could have hoped for. Also, as my experience and background had nothing to do with law I very much appreciated the constant communication and patience Erik exhibited with me over that long haul. Of course Erik is not a one man show. There were a handful of others that were indispensable in this effort. But Erik was an excellent leader in bringing all of the pieces together. Needless to say I would never rely on a miracle with respect to a legal matter when I could call Erik.

I have worked with Erik on three different legal cases. Two of them involved litigation and the third had the potential for litigation that ended in an intense negotiated settlement. We won both litigations and negotiated a settlement that was fair and smart. Erik’s combination of understanding the global legal issues and attention to the significant details has made him a Trusted Ally. Erik’s preparation and knowledge separated him from opposing counsel. We were never outmatched. If I or my company were to have another legal issue I will be calling Erik to handle our legal needs. I feel very lucky to have found Erik and to have him represent my firm. Not many of my business peers can speak as highly of their representation as I can.

I served as General Counsel for a major pipeline company operating in the Pacific Northwest. Over the years we had need for outside litigation counsel on several occasions. Each time I called upon Erik Lied to be my lead counsel. He proved himself always to be quick to respond, be well prepared no matter the circumstances or needs and knowledgable as to the facts and applicable law related to the matter at hand. Equally important, was his awareness and understanding of the opposing counsel and trial judge...most helpful information when the GC is many miles away and not familiar with the local judicial system. If/when the need arises for outside litigation counsel in Seattle and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Erik Lied is my go to guy.

I can highly recommended Erik Lied. He won not one but two highly complex and complicated multi-state, multi-year cases for me that other attorneys told me I just couldn't win and must settle. He is bright, quick, and I say "Vigilant" because he just doesn't miss a thing. I was kept updated at all times and also received his evaluation of where we stood, where there were risks, and what we needed to accomplish next on a near constant basis. He also worked hard for me to keep costs under control. I have since recommended Erik to a represent a group of investors in Portland, Oregon who were struggling to get their fair share of a large settlement securities settlement. He handled it well and to everyone's satisfaction. I also recommended a friend who was a real underdog in a case that looked hopeless to him. After meeting with him, Erik agreed to take that case and won it for him. If you have need of an excellent trial attorney, for defense, or on the offense; I can't think of a better or wiser man to have on your team. His knowledge is deep and varied. In the Marines we often evaluated a man by considering whether you would choose to have him at your back in a real battle. Erik would be one of my very first choices. He would be my very first call if a future legal problem should appear.

Erik is an absolutely brilliant attorney and I was very fortunate to have Erik on my side in a complex dispute amongst partners. Erik was a pillar of strength in guiding me through the whole arbitration process. My case was emotionally stressful and took several months, and at times I wanted to give up, but Erik’s support, guidance and confidence got me through it. We won the case and recovered more than we had hoped for. Erik had the great insight to foresee and anticipate every move the opposition was going to make. Time and again I saw him approaching the immediate matters with a clear strategy and an eye on the end game. Erik was not only a great legal counsel but an excellent human being to work with.

If/when the need arises for outside litigation counsel in Seattle and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Erik Lied is my go to guy.

I can highly recommended Erik Lied. He won not one but two highly complex and complicated multi-state, multi-year cases for me that other attorneys told me I just couldn't win and must settle. He is bright, quick, and I say "Vigilant" because he just doesn't miss a thing. I was kept updated at all times and also received his evaluation of where we stood, where there were risks, and what we needed to accomplish next on a near constant basis. He also worked hard for me to keep costs under control. I have since recommended Erik to a represent a group of investors in Portland, Oregon who were struggling to get their fair share of a large settlement securities settlement. He handled it well and to everyone's satisfaction. I also recommended a friend who was a real underdog in a case that looked hopeless to him. After meeting with him, Erik agreed to take that case and won it for him. If you have need of an excellent trial attorney, for defense, or on the offense; I can't think of a better or wiser man to have on your team. His knowledge is deep and varied. In the Marines we often evaluated a man by considering whether you would choose to have him at your back in a real battle. Erik would be one of my very first choices. He would be my very first call if a future legal problem should appear.

Erik is an absolutely brilliant attorney and I was very fortunate to have Erik on my side in a complex dispute amongst partners. Erik was a pillar of strength in guiding me through the whole arbitration process. My case was emotionally stressful and took several months, and at times I wanted to give up, but Erik’s support, guidance and confidence got me through it. We won the case and recovered more than we had hoped for. Erik had the great insight to foresee and anticipate every move the opposition was going to make. Time and again I saw him approaching the immediate matters with a clear strategy and an eye on the end game. Erik was not only a great legal counsel but an excellent human being to work with. Not being so well versed with the legal world, the journey wasn’t always easy but Erik with his constant communication and patient approach successfully got us through it all with an amazing win. I would highly recommend Erik to anyone looking for the best to represent them.

I was referred to Erik 5 years ago when my legal situation was just starting to unfold. Given the nature of what we were up against I was looking for a miracle. But looking back on our path to victory I would be greatly remiss in crediting a miracle for the job Erik did. He was very thorough and methodical. His conservative and dedicated approach to the matter was instrumental in recovering more than I could have hoped for. Also, as my experience and background had nothing to do with law I very much appreciated the constant communication and patience Erik exhibited with me over that long haul. Of course Erik is not a one man show. There were a handful of others that were indispensable in this effort. But Erik was an excellent leader in bringing all of the pieces together. Needless to say I would never rely on a miracle with respect to a legal matter when I could call Erik.

I have worked with Erik on three different legal cases. Two of them involved litigation and the third had the potential for litigation that ended in an intense negotiated settlement. We won both litigations and negotiated a settlement that was fair and smart. Erik’s combination of understanding the global legal issues and attention to the significant details has made him a Trusted Ally. Erik’s preparation and knowledge separated him from opposing counsel. We were never outmatched. If I or my company were to have another legal issue I will be calling Erik to handle our legal needs. I feel very lucky to have found Erik and to have him represent my firm. Not many of my business peers can speak as highly of their representation as I can.

I served as General Counsel for a major pipeline company operating in the Pacific Northwest. Over the years we had need for outside litigation counsel on several occasions. Each time I called upon Erik Lied to be my lead counsel. He proved himself always to be quick to respond, be well prepared no matter the circumstances or needs and knowledgable as to the facts and applicable law related to the matter at hand. Equally important, was his awareness and understanding of the opposing counsel and trial judge...most helpful information when the GC is many miles away and not familiar with the local judicial system.
