At Gainey Law, I focus on employment law cases. I work hard to uncover the truth, hold power accountable, and help my clients reclaim their voice. I’m Nicole Gainey, a Seattle-based attorney representing workers in King County and throughout Washington state who’ve experienced sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination.
I approach every case with discernment and rigor. I take the time to listen, investigate, and evaluate whether I’m the right advocate for the work ahead. I do not take every case, but when I commit, I go deep—because I know what’s at stake. This isn’t just about financial compensation. It’s about standing up. Speaking out. And working with someone who believes you, respects your story, and fights with both courage and integrity.
I focus my firm on abuses of power in the workplace — because those abuses strike deep at the heart of people’s well-being. And because I know that those abuses don’t go away when we ignore them or play nice. They persist until someone is willing to name them, challenge them, and demand real accountability.
Most of my cases, have been against individual doctors, lawyers, and executives, and the organizations that enable and empower their abuses. That means many of my clients are paralegals, nurses, and female doctors and lawyers, as well women in technology, the trades, and hospitality. Women who have worked hard to get where they are in their careers only to be met with harassment and abuse - and who have had enough.
If that sounds like you, then you’re in the right place. I help clients, who are ready, cut through the gaslighting, the confusion, and the misplaced shame to expose the truth — and to pursue accountability with courage and clarity.
Along the way, I work hard to earn my clients’ trust and appreciation —
and I do my best work for those who show up with clear-minded honesty, a deep sense of integrity, and a tempered respect for the process.
When we work together, my promise is simple: I’ll fight for you when it matters most.
