M. Lorena González

M. Lorena Gonzalez focuses her practice on representing individuals who have been victimized by people in authority positions--employers not giving workers the pay and benefits owed to them, police officers abusing their powers, and sexual aggressors preying on those unable to defend themselves.  Lorena, who is fluent in Spanish, has been in practice since 2005 and has litigated numerous cases in state and federal court

The daughter of immigrant parents from Mexico, Lorena is a native Washingtonian who grew up in Yakima Valley where she and her family worked as migrant farm workers. She is the first and only attorney in her family. Lorena graduated with honors from Seattle University School of Law.

Some of her case results include: a $247,500 excessive force settlement for a Latina woman who brought suit against the City of Brewster after being falsely arrested, assaulted, tasered and prosecuted for crimes she did not commit; $2.3 million wage and hour class action judgment in a class action seeking back wages for armored truck crew members; and $550,000 church sex abuse settlement with the Archdiocese of Seattle and other church organizations on behalf of a man sexually abuses as a child and adolescent.
