See: http://www.magnusonlowell.com/Bio/RichardLowell.aspGrowing up in NY and PA, Rick attended the U.S. Naval Academy, graduating with a degree in Oceanography. Figuring he should put his knowledge of the oceans to some practical use, Rick became a nuclear submarine officer and served aboard USS Patrick Henry. Realizing that a continued career in submarines might let him see the light of day for one of every 10 years or so, Rick changed careers. He explained to the squadron commodore, "Perry Mason always surprises; L.A. Law is intense; and besides, I love arguing with people!!" With that, Rick headed off to the University of Colorado School of Law, agreeing to his new wife's request to "go anywhere to law school as long as we come back to the Pacific Northwest to practice law."Rick returned to Seattle and began working at a big, downtown law firm. Realizing that the politics and the commute were not to his liking, he left and became a founding member and managing director of today's MAGNUSON LOWELL. Rick has been the firm's primary litigator, emphasizing civil litigation, serious personal injury claims, professional negligence, premises liability, and business litigation. As he winds down his practice, Rick remains a devoted family man with 3 bright kids, 2 daughters-in-law, and 4 grand-kids. Rick enjoys cruising and movies, concerts, and "hanging" with family and friends.Published Works:Equal Employment Opportunity: Are You Overlooking the Application Form, Personnel, July/August, 1982Effective Use of the Expert Real Estate Appraisal Witness, DeNovo, May, 1989Classes/Seminars Taught: Personal Injury: Handling the MAR Arbitration - Suggestions and Warnings From Someone Who Has Served All Three Roles (Arbitrator, Plaintiff's Counsel and Defendant's Counsel),Specialties: Areas of Practice: Civil LitigationPersonal Injury ClaimsProduct LiabilityProfessional NegligencePremises LiabilityFor details, see:http://www.magnusonlowell.com
