Meet our attorneys
We have a diverse and highly experienced attorney team, each with their own perspective and approach, located throughout the Puget Sound.
It’s often said that if you do what you love, success will follow. As the founding principal and partner at Adler Giersch, I’ve been doing what I love for more than 40 years of practice, since graduating from Georgetown Law. Injury law is second nature to me.
Richard H. Adler
Founding Principal and Partner
After 20 years of practice, I’m honored to be a partner at AG, working with a team who shares the same values: honoring and supporting our clients and the tireless pursuit of great results. I work across the Pacific Northwest, in Seattle and Bellevue and manage a dedicated office in Kent to serve the South Sound community.
Steven J. Anglés
Partner and Attorney at Law
Seeking inspiration and meaning in my work, I looked to my hero Ani DiFranco who wisely said, “When you sit right down in the middle of yourself, you’re gonna wanna have a comfortable chair.” Then I took all that experience and knowledge of how insurance companies work and I switched sides. Almost instantly, I knew I was home.
Melissa D. Carter
Managing Partner and Attorney at Law
As a partner at Adler Giersch, I specialize in litigation which means I work with serious and substantial cases where the insurance company or at fault party refuses to settle. These cases require in-depth and extremely detailed preparation as well as the creative problem solving and stamina to take a case all the way to trial.
Arthur D. Leritz
Partner and Attorney at Law
I approach every case with compassion, and the understanding that this process can be stressful, and at times overwhelming. I focus on dealing with the insurance companies so my clients can focus on healing and building back their lives. My goal is to ensure that every client receives the highest level of service and is kept informed about their case from start to finish.
