Linda D. Tran
I own and operate my own law firm and real estate firm right here in Emerald City, WA. I am licensed to practice in all state courts in KS, MO & WA, and federal courts in The United States District Courts- Western District of Washington, Western District of Missouri, and 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
I am a plaintiff's attorney at heart and represent victims of awful collisions, brain injury, trucking collisions, wrongful death, and serious / catastrophic injuries. It is my honor to help my clients, many who are victims without a voice in this Society. This love stemmed from my years of experience as a former Police Officer in Missouri, which then lead me to law school at Washburn University.
After joining Washburn Law, I interned/ externed/ clerked at various prestigious positions, such as (and starting at) the City of Buckner Prosecutor’s Office, Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, 16th Circuit Court - Associate Circuit Judge Jeffrey Bushur, and Western District Missouri Court of Appeals - Judge Anthony Rex Gabbert.
My business experience includes litigating various real estate transactions. I have been a real estate agent since I was 18 and have assisted in over 300 real estate transactions. I became a realtor at a young age to help my parents.
I absolutely love what I do.
As a daughter of immigrant parents from Vietnam, I am passionate to help others. I am a Past-President of the Vietnamese American Bar Association (VABAW), which is a phenomenal minority bar association, and am active in a series of organizations. I frequently speak at local and national conventions including to state bar associations.
I believe I was born with an internal fire to help, protect, teach and serve my clients - all day every day. It is my calling that I am honored to answer.
