Ralph Maimon is the principal attorney of the Law Office of Ralph Maimon, P.S., located Madison Valley area in Seattle, Washington.  His practice includes litigation in the commercial, real estate, personal injury and professional negligence fields.  His law practice is complemented by transactional work in real estate and business law.

Ralph’s many years of experience in both the transactional and litigation sides of the law has given him a unique and critical perspective for the practice of preventative law for his clients. He believes very strongly in practicing preventative law, but, when litigation becomes necessary, he is meticulous in discovery and trial preparation.  At the same time, he also knows that the courtroom can be a risky place for many clients, so he has honed his negotiation skills for either direct settlement discussions or through alternative dispute resolution.

Ralph has served and chaired on many prestigious committees of the Washington State Bar Association and of the King County Bar Association, including its Medical-Legal Liaison, Judicial Screening, Fair Campaign Practices and Judiciary and the Courts Committees . He was a Board Member, then Vice President and, in 2001-2002, became  President of the King County Bar Association.  He is a long-time Eagle Member of the Washington State Association for Justice (formerly "Washington State Trial Lawyers Association").  He has been named a “Super Lawyer” for 3 consecutive years by Washington Law and Politics and has consistently (for over 25 years) maintained an AV rating with Martindale Hubbell, based on ratings by fellow attorneys. “A” represents the highest rating for legal skills and “V” is the highest rating for ethics in law practice.  He is frequently selected as an arbitrator under King County Superior Court’s Mandatory Arbitration program. He has been a presenter for lawyers' continuing legal education on matters related to civil litigation, including how to work with expert witnesses and the court rules relating to the conduct of depositions. 

Ralph is a Seattle native who earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Washington.  In 1969, he graduated With Honors in Political Science and, in 1973, earned his Juris Doctor degree.  After graduation, Ralph worked as a law clerk for a Federal Judge in the United States District Court, Western District of Washington.  He then served as a Deputy King County Prosecuting Attorney, trying felony jury cases for crimes ranging from burglary to kidnapping, rape and murder.  Four and a half years later, Ralph began his civil practice with a mid-sized law firm on the Eastside, where he practiced for 29 years, 26 of which as a principal shareholder. Tiring of the increasingly merciless “reverse commute” between Bellevue and Seattle, where he and his wife Esther live, in early 2007, Ralph moved his law practice (with his entire clientele intact) to Seattle. He was joined in the move by his two outstandingly experienced, skilled and personable paralegals, Winnie Epstein and Judy Harel.

It is the mission of the Law Office of Ralph Maimon, P.S. to provide professional, ethical, prompt and effective legal services to all of its clients.
