About Us
Providing Trusted Legal Guidance for Over 50 Years
Our Mission
Layman Law Firm, a Washington and North Idaho law firm, was founded by John G. Layman, who has been practicing law for more than 50 years and was rated as one of the best trial lawyers in America. In addition to practicing law, he was President of Farmers and Merchants Bank in Spokane, Washington, for 30 years.
Because of John G. Layman’s commitment to litigation and banking, we have two primary areas of practice: litigation, representing victims of serious personal injuries, and representing clients in complex business-oriented litigation- and transactional work, assisting clients with business, banking, and commercial matters. Our clients range from individuals to banks and real estate development companies.
The attorneys of Layman Law Firm involved in each area are eminently qualified and strive to maintain high competency. Among our attorneys are two of Washington’s “Super Lawyers,” the holder of a specialty designation in aquatic injuries, a Chartered Financial Analyst (“CFA”), two MBAs, and a former bankruptcy court clerk. Several also had impressive business careers before practicing law.
The firm maintains Martindale-Hubbell’s highest rating, an “AV” rating.
Ethics and Integrity
After our attorneys and hard-working staff, our ethics and integrity are the most valuable assets we have at Layman Law Firm. Clients know they can trust us. The judges, other attorneys, business and professional people, and others we deal with day after day know we are honest, dependable, keep our word, and take practicing law seriously.
Devotion to Our Clients
At Layman Law Firm, we are devoted to our clients and enjoy good, ongoing relationships. Some of our clients are second and third-generation clients. Whether we are serving a new client or someone with whom we have worked for decades, our level of advocacy is unwavering.
