Welcome
Celebrating our 30th Anniversary!
The year 2012 marks the 30th year since the three partners of Chemnick Moen Greenstreet met and decided to practice together. At that time, Paul Chemnick and Gene Moen had been running their own law firm after splitting from a larger firm and began limiting their practice to a calling that interested them the most: personal injury cases.
Pat Greenstreet joined Gene and Paul in 1982 while she was still a law student at the University of Washington School of Law after working several years as a nurse. She soon became a partner, and they have practiced together as Chemnick Moen Greenstreet since. They now focus strictly on medical negligence and malpractice cases, becoming “the trusted voice for victims of negligence” in Washington State.
Chemnick Moen Greenstreet - 30 Years and Going Strong
Many examples of the types of cases they have successfully resolved for their clients can be found under Cases We Handle. This includes:
- Birth injuries
- Anesthesia mistakes
- Emergency room mistakes and misdiagnoses
- Delays in the diagnosis of cancer
- Hospital and nursing negligence
- Surgical malpractice
- Prescription and drug errors
- Negligent care by health care providers
Chemnick Moen Greenstreet has the experience and the expertise to handle large complex cases and, as a result, the firm has achieved numerous multi-million-dollar recoveries for their clients. The three partners are active trial lawyers, but their major focus is to effectively present claims so major settlements can be reached without the need for a trial. They call upon health care providers and other experts throughout the country as needed to present the strongest case possible.
All three partners have received numerous awards and honors honors over the years. Both Gene and Paul have been named Super Lawyers® for nearly a decade. Pat has received several awards in both the nursing and legal fields and is well known as a patient advocate.
Three associate attorneys recently joined the firm: Bill Chemnick, JD, Tyler Goldberg-Hoss, JD, and Catherine Mee Moen, JD. Bill, a graduate of the George Washington University Law School, is Paul Chemnick’s son. Catherine, who graduated from Seattle University’s School of Law, is Gene Moen’s daughter. All contribute to the family-oriented atmosphere at the firm.
The attorneys are supported by a team of staff and paralegals noted for their longevity with the firm and their compassion. They completely understand that in addition to their clients coping with the injury itself, bringing a serious injury or wrongful death claim can also be stressful – and strive to make that burden less difficult.

5/16/2013 – Alleging a radiologist missed something on a film and caused you harm can be tricky. Often the “miss” is not obvious to the untrained eye (otherwise they wouldn’t have missed it), and the defense is usually that, only with the benefit of hindsight,… Read more
Robotic Surgery is here. Is it safe?
5/8/2013 – That question is currently being asked in a courtroom in Kitsap County. Intuitive Surgical, the maker of the da Vinci surgical system, is defending itself from accusations that it isn’t safe when the company’s profits drive surgeons and hospitals to… Read more
