Schroeter Goldmark

Cherf

Sims

SEATTLE – Schroeter Goldmark & Bender recently welcomed Craig Sims and Kaitlin Cherf to the Seattle-based law firm's shareholder group.

Sims is an accomplished trial lawyer with over 25 years of litigation and leadership experience, whose practice focuses on asbestos and mesothelioma, civil rights, product liability, personal injury and wrongful death. Sims joined SGB in 2018. He has a proven record of accomplishment in litigating cases with significant verdict wins and settlements exceeding $20 million. Before entering private practice, Sims was the Criminal Division Chief in the Seattle Attorney's Office, where he led a team of over 60 attorneys and staff. He also served as a Senior King County prosecutor for more than a decade, where he prosecuted homicide and other high-profile cases. Sims earned his law degree from Seattle University.

Cherf (formerly Wright) joined SGB in 2018, bringing extensive experience and skill in asbestos litigation. During her tenure at SGB, Cherf's focus has included litigation of personal injury and wrongful death cases, along with representing plaintiffs in civil rights matters. In a decade of practicing law, her work has resulted in significant jury awards and settlements for her clients, including a verdict that was the largest in Oregon's history for an asbestos-related disease contracted from occupational exposure in that state. She also helped to set a record in Washington for a case involving take-home asbestos exposure. Cherf graduated from Seattle University School of Law.
