WHO WE ARE

Our History: A Firm Dedicated to Medical Negligence

Paul Chemnick and Gene Moen first worked together in 1973 when they were both partners in a larger firm. In 1981, they left to start their own firm, Chemnick and Moen, and decided to limit their practice to personal injury litigation. They opened an office near the historic Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle, where they remained for 25 years. The main office is now located in North Seattle, with a satellite office on Bainbridge Island.

Pat Greenstreet joined the firm as a law student in 1982 and became an associate in 1984. She soon became a partner, and the firm practiced under the name Chemnick | Moen | Greenstreet from then on. More than 20 years ago, the firm decided to dedicate its practice to medical malpractice cases. Tyler Goldberg-Hoss joined the firm as an associate in 2009 and became a partner in 2013. Carl-Erich Kruse joined as an associate in 2019 and became partner in 2022. 

Paul and Pat became “of counsel” to the firm in 2013 and still consult on cases. Gene, a Yale Law School graduate, Tyler, a graduate of the University of Washington Law School, and Carl-Erich, a Seattle University School of Law graduate, are now the core of the firm. They are all three dedicated to the cause of patient safety and patient advocacy.

They practice with associate attorney Catherine Mee Moen and a staff of dedicated legal assistants. Cases are handled within the firm through a team approach. Both the attorneys and staff understand that, in addition to the injury itself, bringing a serious injury or wrongful death claim can be stressful and traumatic. They strive to make that burden less difficult for their clients.
