Celebrating Success in 2024
As the year comes to a close, we'd like to highlight some of our work as we look forward to the New Year. We would also like to thank our co-counsel, coalition partners, and clients for working with us towards justice in 2024.
National Recognition
Terrell Marshall ushered in 2024 by celebrating Beth Terrell’s receipt of the National Consumer Law Center’s 2023 Vern Countryman award. In October 2024, Terrell Marshall learned that the nearly $16.7 million jury verdict the firm achieved in Ellis v. University of Washington Police Department was recognized as one of the Top 10 Labor and Employment verdicts in the United States in 2023. Terrell Marshall is extremely proud of Beth Terrell, Toby Marshall, and Adrienne McEntee, who were named as 2024 Washington Super Lawyers.
Big Wins
Courts granted final approval to six Terrell Marshall class action settlements worth tens of millions of dollars and benefitting tens of thousands of workers and consumers. Terrell Marshall also represented workers in individual and multi-plaintiff wage theft, discrimination, retaliation, and harassment cases, resulting in millions of dollars in back wages and emotional distress damages being paid to our clients. Terrell Marshall thanks its co-counsel, clients, and coalition partners for their essential role in achieving these results.

Contributing to the Community
Blythe Chandler and Jordan Berger authored an amicus brief that was filed in the Washington Supreme Court on behalf of Washington Employment Lawyers Association addressing whether Washington should continue to follow American Pipe tolling to protect claimants’ rights under Washington law. Terrell Marshall attorneys also presented at numerous conferences over the course of the year, sharing insights and experience gleaned from the firm’s busy practice. Terrell Marshall continues its efforts to further diversity and inclusion in the legal profession and would like to congratulate their Fall 2024 Diversity Scholarship recipients, Alejandra Tinoco Bonilla and Amy Correa, who are both attending Seattle University School of Law. Terrell Marshall attorney Jordan Berger also was accepted to attend the Washington Leadership Institute, a leadership development program whose mission is to recruit, train, and develop traditionally underrepresented attorneys for future leadership positions in the Washington State Bar Association and legal community.
