History

Ed grew up in Eagle Rock, a small suburb of Los Angeles, and eventually moved with his family to the beach town of San Clemente, California. He has roots to the Northwest that stretch back to the 19th century.

Ed developed a passion for golf at a young age and began playing competitively in high school. He went on to play at Saddleback Junior College in California where he led the team to the State Championship in 1983. He subsequently attended the University of Southern California where he was the Captain of the 1986 Pacific 10 Championship team. Following college, Ed played golf professionally for approximately one year in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. A wrist injury forced his early retirement from the professional ranks.

Legal Background

Ed turned his sights to law school and graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California in 1991. He worked for three years in Newport Beach, California, handling all aspects of personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Eventually Ed moved to Bellevue, Washington, where he worked in Seattle for a number of years practicing personal injury law. He then started his own firm, Harper Law, PLLC, which was originally located in Bothell, Washington but has since relocated to Kirkland, Washington.

Throughout the past twenty-five years practicing personal injury, insurance claims and medical malpractice, Ed has been successful in a variety of claims and/or lawsuits, including the following:

Marcia Harper

Marcia is Ed’s paralegal and her role is essential to the success of Harper Law. She is most often the first impression of Harper Law as she typically takes incoming calls. She works very closely with Ed in accumulating most of the documentation needed to process a personal injury claim, i.e. medical records, bills, police reports, etc. This requires considerable time, monitoring and patience. She is also primarily responsible for Ed’s calendar. Beyond actually entering appointments into the calendar, it also involves getting Ed to the right place at the right time with the right file in his hands, whether to meet with a client, expert witness, or opposing counsel. Marcia responds to initial calls from potential clients, maintaining regular contact with existing clients, and dealing with adjusters and health care providers.
