Michelle Tostenrude
Powerful Legal Representation
Michelle Tostenrude is a fierce advocate for justice who transforms personal understanding into powerful legal representation. Growing up in Brewster, Washington—a small agricultural town sustained by hardworking orchard families—she witnessed how marginalized communities often struggle to have their voices heard. This early exposure to social inequity drives her passionate commitment to plaintiff advocacy today.

Advocacy Philosophy
"My hometown taught me that hard work and family come first, but also that too many voices go unheard. Every client I represent is someone's family member, someone's hope for justice. I fight not just for compensation, but for accountability and systemic change."
Michelle's approach combines meticulous preparation with genuine empathy. Her scientific background from her pre-medicine studies brings analytical rigor to complex medical and technical evidence, while her agricultural community roots keep her grounded in the real-world impact of every case.
Personal
Outside the courtroom, Michelle balances her demanding practice with raising four children who inspire her daily fight for a more just society. She maintains an active lifestyle through sports and finds renewal in reading and quality time with family and friends. Her life philosophy—"Fight for those who can't fight for themselves"—extends from her professional practice to her personal commitments.
"Justice isn't just about winning cases—it's about giving power back to those who've had it taken away."
