Telaré Law's Commitment to Community and Excellence
Telaré Law, a prominent personal injury legal firm based in Washington, recently announced a significant achievement that highlights its dedication to both legal excellence and community service. Carrie D. Umland, a seasoned personal injury attorney at the firm, has been selected for the exclusive 2025-2026 Super Lawyers list, an honor that recognizes the top 5% of attorneys in the state, as chosen by their peers. This prestigious recognition is a testament to Umland's commitment to advocating for the rights of injured individuals over her outstanding two-decade career in the field of personal injury law.
In conjunction with this honor, Telaré Law will host its fourth annual
Telaré Backpack Project on August 21, 2026. This initiative not only celebrates Umland's recognition but also reinforces the firm's commitment to supporting the local community, particularly families with school-aged children. As part of the project, the firm will provide essential school supplies to help children start their academic year well-prepared and equipped.
A Day for Families
The
Telaré Backpack Project will take place on August 21, 2026, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Telaré Law office located in Richland, Washington. The event is free of charge and open to all families in the Tri-Cities area. Attendees can expect to find:
- - Free backpacks available for kids heading back to school, while supplies last.
- - School supplies, including essential items that every student needs to kick off the school year with confidence.
- - A delightful treat from Kona Ice, serving frozen delights to keep families refreshed and energized as they enjoy their afternoon.
Embracing Community
George Telquist, Co-Founder of Telaré Law, expressed enthusiasm for this year’s backpack project, stating, "The fourth annual Telaré Backpack Project is back and better than ever. Join us on August 21st for an afternoon filled with essential supplies and fun! We look forward to seeing all families come out and celebrate another school year together." This initiative beautifully reflects the firm’s foundational philosophy—"Telaré" translates to "to bring together and remove from trouble," embodying the values of unity and support that the firm strives to uphold.
A Testament of Trust
Carrie Umland's inclusion in the Super Lawyers list reinforces trust in Telaré Law, a firm that has recovered over $100 million for its clients across the Pacific Northwest. Umland states, "I am honored to be recognized alongside some of my peers in this field. It further motivates me to continue making a difference in the lives of those we represent." The firm's commitment extends beyond the courtroom; they provide invaluable resources and safety information for accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This dual approach of legal advocacy and community involvement positions Telaré Law as a trusted ally in both personal legal matters and community welfare.
Looking Ahead
As they prepare for the Backpack Project, Telaré Law is solidifying its role not just as a legal institution but as an integral part of the Tri-Cities community. By focusing on both exceptional legal service and significant community engagement, Telaré Law continues to strive for excellence in all facets of its operations. The firm invites all community members to join them on August 21 for a day of celebration, support, and preparation as the new academic year approaches.
