About Us
Experienced & Aggressive Trial Lawyers in Washington
The law firm of Carpenter & Zuckerman was founded in 1995. Since then, we have won over $2 billion for our clients in California and Washington through settlements and verdicts, with some awards yielding tens of millions of dollars.
We are passionate about helping those who have suffered physical and psychological injuries through no fault of their own. If you have been wrongfully injured, we are here to offer you the attention and representation you deserve in your pursuit of justice and fair compensation.

We understand how costly recovery can be, which is why we offer our services on a contingency basis. If we do not recover compensation, you will not be charged for our legal services. If we are successful, we will collect a percentage of the compensation awarded to you. This percentage varies from case to case, and we can discuss it further during your free case consultation.
Our Washington personal injury firm is committed to providing unparalleled client service and support. We take great pride in understanding your unique needs, goals, and objectives and building effective legal strategies tailored specifically for you.
At CZ, you can trust that you will be treated with respect and compassion throughout the legal process, from consultation to resolution.
Our Attorneys
Headquartered in California, our firm also has several offices throughout Washingont. John Carpenter and Lance C. Behringer operate out of our Seattle office.
John Carpenter co-founded Carpenter & Zuckerman in 1995. A former nominee for the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles' "Attorney of the Year" award, Carpenter prides himself on taking tough cases that other attorneys will not. His career spans over 30 years, during which he has won over $100 million for his clients. He has a strong passion for the welfare of children and focuses on representing clients with particularly severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and damage to the spinal cord.
Since developing an interest in law, Lance C. Behringer has had one consistent goal—to become the greatest trial attorney ever. While we flatter ourselves by saying that he came to the right firm to achieve his dream, Behringer stands as an outstanding trial lawyer in his own right. While he is among the more recent additions to the CZ team, Behringer has proven time and time again that he is a brilliant and passionate trial attorney.
In addition to Behringer and Carpenter, our firm includes 37 lawyers, all of whom are deeply committed to delivering justice to the wrongfully injured. Our impressive network of legal professionals enables us to take on the most challenging cases possible, as our attorneys never lack support. Each of our lawyers is uniquely skilled and qualified for their role at Carpenter & Zuckerman, and we are grateful for all they have done to make our firm stand out among the rest.
