When former Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist moved on from his post after the 2018 election, he pretty much hit the ground running. After interviewing with several law firms and considering offers, he chose the renowned Herrmann Law Group, which handles aviation disasters, automobile accidents, and other personal injury cases.
“I planned to take a break for writing, reading, and life maintenance, but this opportunity was too good to refuse,” he told The Tacoma Weekly. “So I went straight from one job to the next. No break.”
Now, Lindquist is using his experience and savvy to help the families of those who perished in the two deadliest Boeing airline crashes in history.
Last week, the Herrmann Law Group filed a federal lawsuit against The Boeing Company on behalf of the families of two victims who died in the March 10 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Prior to this, the firm filed suit against The Boeing Company on behalf of the families of 17 victims who died in the crash of Lion Air Flight JT 610 on Oct. 29, 2018.
“When I joined Herrmann Law, I knew Lion Air would be the first case I would work on,” Lindquist said. “I didn’t know how big of a job it would become. It’s the most engaging case of my career so far and I’ve been blessed to work on many engaging cases.”
Lindquist said he chose Herrmann Law because the firm embodies his professional and personal values.
“When we met to discuss the job, Chuck (Herrmann Law Chairman Charles Herrmann] told me, ‘The purpose of law is to do good and avoid evil.’ Simple and true. That resonated with me.”
