Learn from both sides of the Bar! Defense Counsel, Mark Scheer, Scheer.Law PLLC and Plaintiff's Attorney Kevin Coluccio, Coluccio Law, share their experience and tips from their (almost) 40 years of practice. The Conversation will be moderated by WDTL Past President and neutral Roy Umlauf.
 
Before starting his firm in 2014, Kevin Coluccio was a founding member at Stritmatter Kessler Whelan Coluccio, a plaintiff’s personal injury law firm. He began representing injury and wrongful death victims in 1986. Since then, his work as a personal injury attorney has earned his clients numerous million-dollar and multimillion-dollar results. He is a member of the Washington Bar Association and Oregon Bar Association and has been a Super Lawyers Top 100 Washington State Lawyers for 25 years.

Over the course of his legal career, Kevin has become one of the country's most experienced Truck Accident Attorneys. He is one of only a handful of attorneys nationwide certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy as a Truck Accident Attorney. This prestigious certification requires years of experience and success in handling truck accidents and passing a certification test.

Mark Scheer has a thriving litigation practice focused on high-exposure, complex, and commercial litigation. He has been admitted to the Federal and State Courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. He is a trial lawyer. He has tried cases in professional and product liability, trucking, admiralty, collapse, insurance coverage, construction, breach of contract, construction defect, property insurance, bad faith, civil forfeiture, subrogation, personal injury, wrongful foreclosure, trespass, and criminal prosecution. He has tried multiple wrongful death cases to verdict (all resulting in defense verdicts) and has tried many other multi-million dollar exposure and catastrophic cases to verdict. He is routinely retained as monitoring counsel or excess counsel on very large, high-exposure, and high-profile cases (including multiple cases with an excess of $100-$250 million exposure).
