BRESKIN, JOHNSON, TOWNSEND, PLLC

What BRESKIN, JOHNSON, TOWNSEND, PLLC does

Breskin Johnson Trial Attorneys PLLC is a Seattle-based plaintiff-side law firm founded in 2007, operating as a Professional Limited Liability Company with 12 employees including four named partners (Daniel F. Johnson, Brendan W. Donckers, Cindy Heidelberg, and Janet Moran). The firm serves three client segments: individual employees in Washington State pursuing employment law claims (wrongful termination, unpaid wages, discrimination, harassment, disability rights); consumers participating in class action litigation against entities engaged in dishonest business practices; and business owners requiring commercial and employment-related counsel. Its practice is structured around three core service lines — Employment Law, Consumer Law, and Business Law — plus specialized Class Action Litigation, with healthcare wage-and-hour class actions emerging as a notable repeatable line.

The business model is primarily contingency fee, particularly for employment and consumer class action matters, with case-by-case fee arrangements for individual representation and business advisory work. The firm has no proprietary technology, software products, or technology platform; service delivery is attorney-led and courtroom-driven, supported by a marketing website, direct phone and contact-form intake, and earned media coverage of case outcomes in outlets such as Law 360 and Business Insider. Distribution is direct-to-client with no third-party reseller or referral channel beyond organic and PR-driven lead generation.

Notable recent case outcomes include a preliminary $86 million settlement against Swedish Medical Center (King County Superior Court, May 2026), final approval of a $10 million-plus settlement for Evergreen Medical Center nurses (April 2025) following six years of litigation and a month-long 2023 trial, and the February 2025 filing of a sex discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against Meta on behalf of a former senior director. The firm is privately held by its named partners with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or institutional backing, and is licensed to practice in Washington State only.
