Tesfaye Haile
Associate, Everett office
Tesfaye runs the Everett office and takes dog bite and car crash cases north of Lynnwood.
Tesfaye grew up in Everett and came back after law school. Most of his dog bite clients were hurt by a neighbor's dog, and most of them worry about the neighbor. He explains early that the claim is usually paid by the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance, not out of anyone's pocket.
He gets the animal control report and the photos of the wound in the first week, and he keeps track of the scar care and counseling that come after.
