As a trial attorney for nearly 20 years, Jody Reich has tried and arbitrated hundreds of cases in state and federal court. While Jody represents a wide variety of clients in estate planning, probate and business disputes, she dedicates a large part of her practice to protecting victims of serious injury caused by the negligence of others. Her background as a litigator for ten years defending corporations and insurance companies makes her uniquely qualified to represent injured clients and negotiate insurance claims.
Jody was born and raised in Seattle and graduated from the University of Washington with honors and Gonzaga University School of Law as a member of the Dean’s List and the Gonzaga Law Review. She was named a “Rising Star” by Washington Law & Politics magazine in 2006 and 2007, and Superlawyer in 2017. When she is not advocating for her clients, Jody spends her time raising her two young boys and serving on community foundations that provide assistance to disadvantaged children, including Friends of Youth and Make a Wish Foundation.
Prior to her current practice, Jody was a partner at Betts, Patterson and Mines, a large
Seattle litigation firm. She also served as a law clerk to a Federal Judge for the Eastern District of Washington, Judge Edward F. Shea, and for Judge James M. Murphy, Spokane Superior Court Judge (retired).
Jody is the mother of two young sons, Hunter and Brody, and spends her free time raising her two boys with her husband, Steve. Jody is also an active member in a number of community foundations that provide assistance to disadvantaged children. She has served as committee chair and member of the Board of Directors for a local youth and family services agency, Friends of Youth. Jody also greatly enjoys her work with the Make-a-Wish Foundation as a wish volunteer where she works with children with life-threatening medical conditions. She is a member of the Junior League of Seattle, which serves to improve the local community through volunteerism, training and leadership.
