2020 Best Lawyer/Attorney: Jeff Kreutz

After a lifetime in the Tri-Cities, Jeff Kreutz already has a lot. He’s got a successful practice, a big family and chances to coach youth sports.

But now he’s got one thing more -- being voted Best Lawyer in the People’s Choice awards.

“It’s pretty exciting,” said Kreutz, a successful Richland lawyer with Tamaki Law. “I grew up in Richland, so it’s nice to get that award.”

Kreutz has been a lawyer for more than 20 years, starting out as a defense attorney for insurance companies in Yakima. In 2013, he switched to representing injured clients and victims of institutional sex abuse.

Kreutz said he and the rest of Tamaki Law hasn’t stopped that work amid the pandemic. Staff meetings are held on Zoom, and office time is coordinated among the group so everyone can keep their distance.

If you need an injury attorney, the Tri-Cities thinks you should go with Jeff Kreutz.
