Eric Reiersen is an attorney who specializes in personal injury and immigration law, with significant expertise in workers' compensation and criminal law. In 2016, he co-founded Ritchie Reiersen, Injury & Immigration Attorneys, with Brandon Ritchie, establishing a firm that now serves a diverse clientele through its extensive network of offices in Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, and Arizona, employing a dedicated team of 40.

Reiersen's educational foundation was laid at Brigham Young University Idaho, where he pursued studies in history and Spanish, gaining skills that have proved invaluable in his legal practice, particularly in dealing with immigration cases. He further honed his legal skills at the University of Idaho College of Law, earning his Juris Doctor in 2011. While at law school, he served as an editor for the Idaho Law Review and gained practical experience as a city prosecutor, which prepared him well for his future career.

In his legal practice, Reiersen is exceptionally dedicated to personal injury law. He passionately advocates for clients who have suffered from accidents, medical malpractice, and other instances of negligence. He takes a thorough and empathetic approach to each case, ensuring that he fully understands his clients' situations and strives to secure just compensation for both their economic and non-economic losses.

The firm operates on a contingency fee basis, ensuring its financial compensation is directly tied to its ability to secure favorable client outcomes. This aligns the firm's interests with those of its clients, fostering a partnership based on trust and shared goals.

In immigration law, Reiersen's work is informed by his solid legal expertise and enhanced by his ability to communicate fluently in Spanish. This allows him to effectively guide clients through the complex processes of obtaining visas, handling naturalization, and defending against deportation.

On a personal level, Reiersen's roots are in Alaska, and he was raised in the Pacific Northwest, where he developed a profound appreciation for the outdoors and community engagement. A two-year missionary stint in Chile significantly shaped his commitment to service, expanding his worldview and reinforcing his dedication to helping others.

Brandon Ritchie has shaped a distinguished career as an attorney with a dual focus on personal injury and immigration law, fueled by a history deeply rooted in resilience and advocacy. His passion for the law was ignited early in life after a traumatic accident left his father wheelchair-bound and led to the loss of family-owned businesses. This profound family crisis shaped his empathetic approach toward his clients and steered his professional trajectory toward helping those similarly impacted by life-altering circumstances.

At the helm of Ritchie Reiersen Law, Brandon has cultivated a robust practice that initially focused on personal injury claims. He has progressively embraced immigration law, reflecting his commitment to serving a broader spectrum of client needs. The firm, which he launched in 2014 in Kennewick, Washington, has flourished under his leadership, expanding to include additional branches in Auburn, Yakima, Tacoma, and Moses Lake, Washington. The firm's presence extends beyond state lines with offices in Portland, Oregon, Twin Falls, Idaho, and provisions for remote client services in Mesa, Arizona.

The legal community has recognized Ritchie Reiersen Law for its outstanding contributions to the field, awarding it the 2022 Lawyers of Distinction and naming it the Best Motorcycle Lawyers in Kent for the same year by Expertise.com. This entity evaluates professional services across the U.S.

The firm's personal injury services are comprehensive, addressing not only common accidents involving motor vehicles and bicycles but also severe incidents resulting in catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal injuries, severe burns, and amputations. Brandon's expertise further extends to handling sensitive cases of medical malpractice, dog bites, nursing home abuse, pedestrian accidents, sexual abuse, slips and falls, and wrongful death.

Brandon's dedication is reflected vividly in client testimonials that often highlight his responsiveness and thoroughness. For example, a client involved in a severe collision lauded him for his supportive approach during a distressing time, mainly through the intricacies of insurance negotiations.

In immigration law, Brandon and his team provide compassionate and meticulous service, helping clients navigate the complexities of visas, citizenship, green cards, naturalization, and permanent residency. Their proficiency also includes handling challenging deportation and removal proceedings and offering asylum protection and defense.

Before embarking on his journey with Ritchie Reiersen Law, Brandon gained valuable experience at Fielding Law Group in Washington State, where he worked for nearly three years. His academic foundation is solid, with a Juris doctorate from the University of Idaho College of Law and a Master's degree in Business Administration from Washington State University, preceded by a bachelor's degree in Business and Professional Writing from Brigham Young University in Idaho.

Beyond the courtroom, Brandon is deeply engaged in his community through contributions to United Way, 4-H, local food drives, and youth sports programs. His involvement extends to local high schools and numerous youth initiatives in his hometown, demonstrating his commitment to fostering the potential in young people. He is also an active participant in his church, where he mentors teenagers and contributes to weekly religious and educational programs.

Family remains central to Brandon's life; he and his wife, Sarah, who he has been married to for nearly 20 years, are raising five children. They live near where he grew up in Burley, Idaho, a farming community that instilled in him the values of diligence and integrity. He maintains his love for the outdoors, often found fishing or enjoying pickleball and boating, all while prioritizing quality time with his family.
