Ken Bills Esq. Related Seminars and Products

The Advocates

In 2004, Kenneth Bills and Matthew Driggs opened The Advocates in Seattle with a primary focus on client value and service. Ken believes strongly that a sizable law firm can be as effective at litigation as any boutique litigation firm, while also having the ability to serve large numbers of clients across Washington and Oregon. The Advocates holds these values at the center of its approach to each client’s case. If each individual is treated as though they’re the only client the firm has, everyone is better off.

In his career, Ken has worked on both mass tort and personal injury cases, and has helped thousands of clients recover fair compensation and get back on their feet. Ken believes that a strong team of lawyers and staff, each of whom are focused on the goal of doing what is best for the client, while working on what each are best at doing, serves to make the client’s experience and outcome the very best possible.

Kenneth and Donilyn Hunter-Sallustio (“Ken and Doni”) carefully cultivate the firm’s team to match these standards of service, both to our clients and our community. These core values are how every team member who works for Ken and Doni are evaluated – creating a culture designed to exceed client expectations and deliver outstanding results.

Ken loves the Pacific Northwest. Before practicing law, Ken excelled at skiing and contract bridge. If Ken isn’t traveling with his wife or for work, at nights he can often be found playing video games or otherwise spending time with his kids.

Holly Brauchli Esq. Related Seminars and Products

Attorney & Partner

Sears Injury Law/Seattle Injury Law

Holly is deeply passionate about the imperative need for strong advocacy on behalf of anyone who interacts with these three critical systems, which possess the potential to profoundly influence a person’s existence. She recognizes that, all too often, these systems can be misused, leading to the subjugation of individuals, especially during their most challenging moments of injury or trauma. Holly takes immense pride in her role, assisting people in finding their voice and empowering them to chart a path forward.

Upon graduating from law school, Holly received valuable advice to sharpen her skills by seeking opportunities where she could gain substantial experience. Her plan was to transition to meaningful work once she had honed her craft. Following this guidance, she began her journey by acquiring trial skills as a prosecutor and then deepened her expertise with nearly a decade of experience as a civil defense litigator. By the end of this decade, she was handling intricate, multi-million-dollar cases, conducting training sessions for attorneys and corporate personnel, and achieving success in appellate matters. In essence, Holly’s ability to litigate against corporations and insurance companies is rooted in her prior experience litigating on their behalf.

Holly brings a wealth of experience both inside and outside the courtroom. She has presented numerous trials, overseen hundreds of depositions, and worked with an extensive volume of documents. She is adept at collaborating with experts and excels in both written and oral advocacy. However, her most cherished aspect of her work lies in the deep connections she forges with her clients. She takes the time to understand them on a profound level, delving into the intricacies of their cases. Her greatest satisfaction arises from building a case in partnership with her clients, ensuring they are comfortable with the process and proud of the direction it takes. Holly firmly believes that justice is uniquely defined by each individual and is dedicated to achieving outcomes that her clients genuinely perceive as success.
