Car Accidents

Car crashes can turn your world upside down in an instant. Whether it’s a rear-end collision or a serious freeway accident, we know how to deal with the insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve. We’ll handle the legal side so you can focus on healing.

When a driver hits a pedestrian, the injuries are often life-changing. These cases require swift action, compassion, and attention to detail. We’re here to support you, protect your rights, and hold the responsible party fully accountable.

Boating injuries — especially in places like Puget Sound — can be severe and complicated by maritime laws. Whether it happened on a recreational boat, ferry, or jet ski, we know how to investigate and hold the responsible parties accountable. You focus on recovery — we’ll take care of the rest.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle crashes often result in serious injuries and complex liability issues. Riders face unique challenges on the road and in insurance claims. We understand these complexities and fight to ensure you receive fair compensation and the respect you deserve.

Rideshare Accidents - Uber, Lyft, Bus, Taxi

Getting injured in a rideshare accident — whether as a passenger, pedestrian, or another driver — can be complicated. Liability isn't always clear, but we know how to sort it out. We’ll deal with Uber, Lyft, and the insurers so you don’t have to.

Bicycle & E-Bike Accidents

Cyclists have just as much right to the road — but too often drivers don’t treat them that way. When you're injured on a bike, the results can be serious. We know how to prove fault, push back on unfair insurance tactics, and get you the compensation you need to move forward.

Medical mistakes can have devastating consequences. Whether it’s a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or delayed treatment, we know how to investigate and prove negligence. Our team is dedicated to protecting your rights and securing the compensation you need.

Truck Accidents

Crashes involving commercial trucks are complex and often devastating. We understand the unique laws and liability issues at play — and we know how to stand up to trucking companies and their insurers. Our team works quickly to preserve evidence and build a strong case.

Wrongful Death

Losing someone due to someone else’s negligence is heartbreaking and overwhelming. These cases are emotionally and legally complex, but you don’t have to go through it alone. We provide compassionate guidance and strong legal representation to help your family find closure — and accountability.

Drunk Driver Accidents

Accidents caused by drunk drivers are tragic and preventable. When you’re hurt by someone’s reckless behavior, you need an attorney who will hold them accountable. We aggressively pursue justice and compensation to help you rebuild your life.

Child Injury Accidents

When a child is injured due to someone else’s negligence, the impact on the family is profound. We understand the special care and legal protections required in these cases. Our team works closely with families to secure fair compensation and ensure the child’s future needs are met.

Ashley Armstrong

Attorney at Law

A Bremerton native, Ms. Armstrong’s path to law began in the classrooms and community of Kitsap County. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Washington — where she made the Dean’s List and served as a Washington State Legislative Intern — she went on to graduate with honors from Seattle University School of Law.

Today, Ms. Armstrong is proud to serve the same community that raised her. Her legal practice is dedicated solely to representing injury victims in cases involving motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. She is an EAGLE member of the Washington State Association for Justice and a member of the Kitsap County Bar Association. She is also a Kitsap County Superior Court Arbitrator.

Her commitment to justice doesn’t end in the courtroom. Ms. Armstrong is deeply involved in her hometown — coaching youth soccer with the Bremerton Soccer Club, mentoring young runners with the Bremerton Jaguars, and lending her leadership to local organizations like the Silverdale and Bremerton YMCA's, East Bremerton Rotary, Central Kitsap Montessori Parents Association, Silverwood School, and the West Sound Seawolves Baseball Club. She also co-founded and coached the YMCA Youth & Government Mock Trial team, helping shape the next generation of advocates.

A recipient of the 20 Under 40 award from the Kitsap Peninsula Business Journal and multiple Best of BremertonBest of Central Kitsap, and Washington Super Lawyer honors, Ms. Armstrong is recognized for both her legal excellence and her deep community ties.

As a cancer survivor, Ms. Armstrong understands how overwhelming medical challenges can be — physically, emotionally, and financially. She knows how important it is to focus on healing, regain control, and get back to living your life. 

When she’s not in the office, you’ll find her enjoying the PNW outdoors — snow skiing, boating, hiking, and cheering on her three children at sporting events.

Tanya Thompson

Legal Assistant

With over two decades of experience in the legal field, Ms. Thompson began her journey in 2000, working in various administrative roles before transitioning to a full-time legal assistant position in 2011. Her deep-rooted knowledge of legal processes and commitment to client care make her an invaluable part of our personal injury team.

For Ms. Thompson, the most rewarding part of working in personal injury law is helping people navigate life after serious accidents. “Being involved in an accident can be life-changing. While no settlement can undo the harm, it can bring relief and a sense of justice. Knowing that my work contributes to that outcome is incredibly fulfilling.”

One of the greatest challenges she sees is a lack of public awareness around insurance coverage. “Too many people don’t fully understand their policies until it’s too late. I’ve seen clients feel blindsided after discovering they’re underinsured. It’s something I’m passionate about educating people on.”

Outside the office, Ms. Thompson enjoys live music, experimenting with new recipes, and tackling home improvement projects. Her attention to detail and drive to help others extends from her professional life into everything she does.

Joy Zegstroo

Legal Assistant

With a legal career spanning over five decades, Ms. Zegstroo brings unmatched experience and wisdom to the firm. She began her journey in 1969 and has been a steady presence in the Kitsap legal community ever since.

Throughout her career in personal injury law, Ms. Zegstroo has remained committed to guiding clients through some of the most difficult times in their lives. “I love helping people through stressful and unfamiliar situations. Insurance companies often try to take advantage, and I take pride in helping level the playing field.” Her compassionate yet fierce advocacy provides relief to those coping with pain, lost wages, and the emotional toll of an accident.

One of the ongoing challenges she tackles is navigating the complexities of subrogation. “It can be confusing for clients and even for us at times — but we always get it done.”

Outside the office, Ms. Zegstroo and her husband run Country Stables, a horse boarding facility in Poulsbo. She’s also an active member of the Lakeland Village Ladies Golf Club and cherishes spending time with her daughters, their husbands, and her beloved granddaughters.
