Connelly Law Offices

What Connelly Law Offices does

Connelly Law Offices is a privately held boutique plaintiff-side litigation firm founded in 2006 by John R. (Jack) Connelly, Jr. in Tacoma, Washington. The firm represents injured individuals and families in civil litigation against corporations, government entities, and insurers, with practice areas spanning personal injury, medical negligence, brain and spinal cord injuries, government liability, civil rights, insurance bad faith, products liability, nursing home liability, sports injuries, wrongful death, abuse and neglect, and motor vehicle accidents. It operates from three Washington locations — the Old Town Tacoma headquarters (acquired 2006), the Seattle Smith Tower office (opened 2014), and the Spokane Glover Mansion (acquired 2025) — and lists 19 attorneys, placing it in the 11–50 employee band.

The firm's business model is professional legal services delivered predominantly on a contingency-fee basis, under which clients pay no upfront cost and the firm takes a percentage of any recovery via verdict or settlement. Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: client acquisition flows from high-profile case results, community involvement, earned media in regional publications (Seattle Times, Tacoma News Tribune), and referral/co-counsel relationships with other attorneys across Washington and nationally. The firm is not a technology company and maintains no proprietary platform, API, or mobile application; its core competency is courtroom advocacy and litigation strategy.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The firm's track record includes large verdicts and settlements such as $77 million (Smith v. OK Boys Ranch), $31 million (Salvini v. Ski Lifts), $28 million (Hensley v. MultiCare), $25.3 million (Woodring-Thueson v. UW), and $21 million (Clay v. Seattle School District). Ownership is concentrated in founder Jack Connelly, with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed M&A/institutional capital activity.
