ABOUT ME
MY BIO
I am a native Washingtonian, and grew up in Ellensburg. I attended community college in Vancouver, Wa. and then went on to Portland State University in Portland, Or. before I ultimately graduated Cum Laude from Central Washington University in 1988, where I received my B.A. in Economics. After graduating from college, I worked for a bank in Southern California for a year before going to law school. I received my J.D. from The University of Puget Sound (now Seattle University) in 1992. Since then, I have successfully represented clients for over 28 years in the state of Washington. My practice has focused on Adult and Juvenile criminal defense in Municipal, District, Superior and Federal courts across Washington State, and representing Regular, Commercial, and Intermediate Driver's License holders charged with DUI or cited with a traffic ticket, as well as handling Department of Licensing hearings for drivers and professionals. I have also represented indigent defendants in criminal and dependency matters as a panel attorney for the Public Defender's office.
I have three grown children and have lived in the South Puget Sound since I entered law school, and it has been a privilege and a joy to live and work in one of the best places in the country.
My success is no accident, and it is why other legal professionals and former clients continually refer clients to me. They trust that my experience and outstanding customer service will ensure the best possible outcome for each and every individual case I handle.
