Core offering

The Blankenship Law Firm represents employees, professionals, and victims of civil rights violations on a contingency fee basis, handling employment law cases (discrimination, harassment, wage theft, wrongful termination, retaliation), class action litigation, catastrophic personal injury, nursing home abuse and neglect, and sexual abuse civil claims. Cases span Washington, Oregon, and Alaska and are litigated against employers, healthcare systems, government agencies, and corporations.

Product overview

The Blankenship Law Firm operates as a single, integrated law firm practice rather than a modular software product. The firm offers legal services through its website as the primary client-facing platform, encompassing six core practice areas: Employment Law (handling discrimination, harassment, wage theft, wrongful termination, and retaliation), Class Action Litigation (representing groups of employees in wage and hour cases), Catastrophic Accidents and Injuries (personal injury cases), Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect (elder abuse litigation), Sexual Abuse and Sexual Assault (civil claims), and Civil Rights including police misconduct. The website serves as an informational portal and client intake mechanism, connecting potential clients with the firm's legal services. There are no separate software products, modules, or digital offerings—only the law firm's service practice and its web presence.
