Rooted in Pierce County
At Cochran Douglas, we’ve built our careers here in Pierce County, taking a stand for victims of sexual assault due to negligence of caregivers and state entities, people injured in car accidents, victims of nursing home abuse, and other clients. From our Tacoma office, we’ve fought for justice across the South Sound, and Puyallup is a valued part of the community we serve every day.
We Are Your Neighbors
We understand the unique risks Puyallup families face: congested traffic on Meridian and SR-512, serious trucking accidents on SR-167, and seasonal surges at the Washington State Fairgrounds. We know that when negligence strikes, the medical bills pile up fast and insurance companies work hard to pay as little as possible. We are glad to put our resources into fighting insurance companies so you can recover, move on, and prosper.
You've Got Our Attention
Unlike large firms that treat clients like case numbers, we believe in direct communication and personalized representation. We prepare every case for trial so that you always have leverage, whether that means reaching a fair settlement or walking into the courtroom with confidence. Our attorneys live and work in Pierce County. When you need us, we’re ready to fight for you.
Don’t Wait to Take Action
If you have suffered a personal injury in Puyallup or anywhere else in Washington State, you likely have three years to file a claim. Waiting too long can prevent you from recovering compensation, no matter how strong your case may be.
Act now to protect your rights. We offer free consultations and never charge a retainer. You only pay if we win your case, and we never add extra fees just because a case goes to trial.
“Cole and team are absolutely amazing!”
"Cole and team, are absolutely amazing! Cole took on a case that was unique and gave it his all to help me feel supported, important and justified. He and his team have something I personally have never experienced with a law firm…integrity. He went out of his way for years, to build trust and show me that he and his team, are infact, different from the rest. I owe a debt of gratitude to Cole for his efforts and consistent support. He allowed me to confide in him in times I felt defeated emotionally and helped build my confidence. Thank you all so much. You’ve truly made a positive impact on my life."

Standing With Survivors of Sexual Assault
If you are a survivor of sexual assault or abuse, the most important thing to know is that you are not alone, and it is never your fault. These experiences leave lasting scars, and it can feel overwhelming to take the first step toward healing. There are caring professionals and agencies ready to support you right now:
Pierce County Sexual Assault Center: (253) 474-7273
National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN): 1-800-656-4673

When you feel ready to pursue justice, Cochran Douglas is here to stand beside you. Our attorneys treat every client with compassion, privacy, and respect. We will listen to your story, help you understand your legal options, and fight relentlessly to hold perpetrators and negligent institutions accountable.
You deserve care, safety, and a future not defined by trauma. Our team is ready to provide both empathy and the trial-tested advocacy needed to seek the compensation and accountability you deserve.
Puyallup Residents Can Afford Our Help
One of the most common concerns we hear from injured people in Puyallup is, “Can I even afford a lawyer?” The answer with Cochran Douglas is simple: yes.
We never charge for your initial consultation, and we won’t ask for a retainer fee if you decide to move forward. Instead, we work on a contingency basis. That means our payment depends entirely on your success. If you don’t recover compensation, you don’t owe us anything.
And unlike some firms that increase their fees the moment a case goes to trial, our rates stay the same. We believe it’s unfair to hand our clients a higher bill simply because an insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith. When the other side forces you into court, we’re prepared, and you’ll never face an added financial burden.

How to Prepare for a Personal Injury Case
If you’ve been hurt in Puyallup, the idea of starting a legal case can feel overwhelming. A personal injury attorney in Puyallup can make the process easier by meeting you where you’re most comfortable, whether that’s at your home in Puyallup, at the hospital, over Zoom, or in our Tacoma office.
When we first meet, it helps to bring any evidence you’ve collected, including photos of the accident scene, medical records, police reports, and contact information for witnesses. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything, because part of our job is investigating and filling in the gaps.
Be ready to walk us through a timeline of events, from the day of the injury to how your life has been affected since. Tell us about missed work, medical treatments, and the emotional toll. The more we understand your story, the stronger we can build your case.
Our goal is to shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on healing.
"Everyone at Cochran Douglas was amazing throughout a painful experience. I would recommend them with all the enthusiasm in the world, and with absolutely zero reservations. Please reach out to them if you need a lawyer."
