Let’s get ready to rumble!

In this corner, the tenacious personal-injury attorney and former president of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association, whose clients include multiple victims of last year’s deadly Ride the Ducks tourist-vehicle crash.

Weighing in with more than 30 years of experience, working under the trademarked nickname “The Velvet Hammer,” it’s Karen Koehler!

And in this corner, the flamboyant, well-coiffed trial advocate with a career client list that includes serial killer Ted Bundy, the “Barefoot Bandit” and mass murderer Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales.

Carrying a bar card dating back 44 years, once called “the most hated man in the state,” it’s Seattle’s undisputed champion of celebrity defense attorneys, John Henry Browne!

Ding! Ding!
