The Hornbuckle Firm

The Hornbuckle Firm is a serious injury and civil litigation law firm serving clients in Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, and throughout Washington. Founded in 1978, the firm has developed decades of experience handling complex personal injury, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, wrongful death, and business litigation cases. The attorneys prepare each case as if it will proceed to trial, allowing them to build strong arguments and pursue favorable outcomes for their clients.

The firm has a particular focus on nursing home abuse and neglect. In 1990, founding attorney Thomas Hornbuckle obtained a $39 million jury verdict in a nursing home wrongful death case, helping establish the firm’s reputation in this area of litigation. The Hornbuckle Firm also handles cases involving car and truck accidents, catastrophic injuries, brain injuries, construction accidents, premises liability, product liability, defective medical devices, asbestos exposure, and civil rights matters.

Stephen Hornbuckle brings extensive experience in complex personal injury and commercial litigation, while Jacey Liu focuses on civil litigation and civil rights matters. The firm maintains a personalized approach, keeping the practice small so attorneys remain directly involved in each case. The Hornbuckle Firm offers free initial consultations to help prospective clients understand their legal options.
