About Andrew Ackley

Andrew Ackley grew up shaped by two family histories of wartime displacement, which he credits with motivating his commitment to fighting for what is just and fair. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Oregon as a Phi Beta Kappa member and earned his J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law in 2009. He focuses on complex personal injury and civil rights cases and was part of the legal team that obtained a $123 million verdict in the Seattle Ride the Ducks Aurora Bridge disaster case. He has also handled significant wrongful death, medical malpractice, insurance bad faith, and class action matters.
