I am a former creditor attorney.  I now exclusively represent consumers in bankrutpcy, debt settlement, debt litigation (FDCPA, RCW 19.16, RCW 19.86), and tenant rights.. My background as a former creditor side and former landlord side attorney gives me a well rounded approach in defending and counter attacking against creditors, debt collectors, and landlords.  Not every case is complicated but often there are complexities in what appears to be simple cases.  I give each case and client a thorough analysis for litigation, settlement, bankruptcy, and out of court options.. Prior to law school, I obtained my B.A. in Psychology and served in the U.S. Air Force (active and reserve) for nearly ten years during which I deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom in support of post 9/11 operations.  I currently live in beautiful Mill Creek, WA with my wife and two children.  During my free time I enjoy cooking, travelling, martial arts, reading, and rooting for the Seahawks.

Former military, now an attorney practicing military law. I have a sincere passion for helping service members defend against UCMJ and administrative matters, including courts-martial, NJP/, GOMOR rebuttal, administrative separation / discharge matters, Boards of Inquiry (BOIs), and eveything in between. The military justice system is a profoundly sacred area of the law and it is an honor to practice within it.
