Kristi Favard has been litigating cases throughout the state of Washington since 2003. She has been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and as a Top Woman Attorney by Seattle Met Magazine for the majority of her career. Kristi opened Sapphire Legal in 2017 after experiencing a serious illness for nearly three years, which completely changed her life. With resiliency and a “never give up” attitude, Kristi persevered and returned to the practice of law determined to reignite her passion for it. She changed her practice to primarily represent employees and individuals on the Plaintiffs’ side rather than defend corporations and insurance companies. In a short period of time, Kristi was able to rebuild the career she thought she lost when she became ill, and find even greater happiness and satisfaction in her work.
