I was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1982. In 1984 I was admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and in 1985 for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. I first concentrated in civil litigation and then as an Assistant Public Defender in OrlandoFlorida where I gained substantial criminal jury trial experience.. Moving back to Miami in 1987, in 1988 I established Nestor B. Gorfinkel, P.A. to dedicate myself to the practice of Real Estate. I has been concentrating in the area of Real Estate ever since, and as an active member agent of Attorney's Title Insurance Fund and its successor Attorney's Title Fund Services, LLC and Old Republic National title Inusrance Company. In 1996 I changed the name of the firm to Nestor B. Gorfinkel, Chartered.. From 1996 through 2004, I served as a member of the board of directors of a local national bank, serving on various committees including the Credit, Audit and Investment committees. I my tenure I was recruited to join the board of directors 2 other banks, which I respectfully declined in order to fully dedicate and concentrate on serving my clients.. I am humbled by the fact that I have represented many of my clients for at least 15-25 years. My clients includes a cross section of local as well as national and international interests. In order to better assist my international clients, I earned an appointment as a Florida Civil-Law Notary in 2007, after meeting all state qualifications, which included specialized notarial training and a state-administered examination.

I started practicing law prosecuting misdemeanor and felony cases in Douglas County, OR.  I then opened my practice in Jackson Hole, WY where we focused on civil litigation and criminal defense.  Following our relocation to King County, WA, we have decided to focus on criminal defense (primarily DUI and Drug Possession/Distribution).  Our passion is providing our clients with the best defense available to them at a fair price.

I started practicing law in 2009 and, being a big music fan, out of law school I worked at Capitol Records in Los Angeles where I drafted and negotiated contracts for bands of the record company, putting their music in TV shows, film, commercials and video games. Some of the projects I worked on include Nike commercials, the films Inception and Scott Pilgrim v. The World, as well as video games Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero.. After living in Los Angeles I moved to Denver, Colorado where I worked for a national law firm in the Energy and Natural Resources practice. In Denver my practice focused on complex real estate and business transactions for Fortune 100 clients, primarily in the energy sector. During this time I was fortunate enough to lead teams of up to ten people in the due diligence phase of acquisitions of assets valued up to $6.5 billion.. Working for a larger firm provided a lot of great experience I would not have been able to get anywhere else, but in 2017 I decided to move back to my home state of Washington to start Moultray & McMahon with Josh. In making that move I pivoted my practice from advising big corporate clients to advising individuals and small businesses with their real estate and business needs. My clientele now primarily consists of real estate investors and home buyers/sellers looking to cut out broker commissions when buying and selling properties, as well as small businesses who are just getting up and running. I also review and negotiate a lot of commercial lease agreements for individuals and small businesses.. I received my B.S. in Psychology from Washington State University in 2005 and graduated from the New England School of Law in Boston, Massachusetts in 2009. I have also been a guest lecturer at the University of Denver’s Sturm College of Law on numerous occasions. I am licensed to practice law in Colorado, New York and Washington.. I went to WSU so Saturdays in the fall are generally pretty stressful, but I get away from Cougar football by doing a lot of skiing and going to concerts in Seattle.

I started my legal career as a volunteer for a public defender agency, and I fell in love with the job.  I really liked helping people, especially when they were scared and in the unfamiliar setting of a courtroom and didnt know what to do, or what was going to happen.  I then began working full-time for a public defender agency in Seattle and I enjoyed it even more.  I handled over 2000 cases in my time with the public defender, and then I moved on to private practice.  I now do about 80% of my work for the Office of Public Defense and the other 20% is private.  I have been to trial on everything from Trespass to Murder, and a few things in between.  I am happy to help and answer any questions that a potential client may have.  I don't charge for answering questions, just for representing people, and I will always try to make payments work for a client.  I think that it is very important for people to look around when they are trying to find an attorney.  Just because an attorney charges a large amount for their representation doesn't make them good, and just because Public Defenders are free doesn't make them bad - we all went to law school, but every lawyer is different.  A client should always trust their lawyer - they are their advocate, their voice in the courtroom and trust and communication should always be open.

I provide counsel to small businesses owners in an array of matters that include Business Formation, Contract negotiations, Complex commercial transactions, Intellectual Property (Trademark, Copyright & Trade Secrets) and Commercial litigation. In addition, I assist individuals and families as they navigate through the often complex and emotional process of Estate Planning and Probate law; and advise local area talent in the field of media law relating to Copyright and Right of Publicity.. As a near life-long resident of the the Pacific Northwest, I am an avid fly-fisherman, rock climber and devoted Husky fan. I also enjoy golf and travel. Thank you for visiting my site and I look forward to assisting you.

We are very client-centered in our representation and work to get our clients back on their feet and on with their lives. Please visit my website at .

I opened my own practice in 2023. My practice focuses on personal injury, traffic violations, criminal defense, bankruptcy/debt relief, and uncontested divorce/annulment cases. I have succeeded in negotiating debt and reinstating driving privileges through settlement or bankruptcy for my clients.

I offer more than a decade of prominent law firm and in-house experience as a corporate/business attorney.  After nine years in law firms (primarily with the Bay Area firm of Fenwick & West, and as a partner with Graham & Dunn), I have spent the last four years in-house, first with Symetra Financial (Warren Buffet-owned financial services firm), and currently with Intellectual Ventures.  At Intellectual Ventures, I have been able to combine my corporate legal background with my engineering background and interest in intellectual property in a transactional practice. Please feel free to reach me at , or by cell at.

I never stop working to strengthen those relationships. I understand what is it like for our client's lives to be disrupted and I am proud to help them through these difficult times.. I am dedicated to working with clients to find timely and cost-sensitive solutions to all manner of legal disputes, through litigation and alternative dispute resolution strategies.

I have worked my entire career in the Law. I was employed as a legal intern through my undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins University. In this position, I worked for a large Baltimore, Maryland Law Firm in their Landlord Tenant and Collections division representing large landlord conglomerates and the largest bail bond company in the State of Maryland. I continued in this position until I was accepted to Law School where I received a Presidential Law Scholarship at Seattle University. Since entering Law School, I have been in and around the area of Family Law for several years. I began practicing in this area as a Rule 9 Intern with the Law Offices of Natalie de Maar. The Rule 9 Intern position provided me with a limited license to represent clients. After graduating Law School, I became an associate with Mrs. De Maar’s firm.. I strongly believe that you should understand why a lawyer concentrates their practice heavily on family law. I have done so primarily for two reasons. The first is a family law client is a uniquely vulnerable client. A family law client often finds himself or herself facing an unknown future. It can be emotional, frustrating, and exasperating. My goal is to assist my clients through this difficult time, and to help set a course forward toward financial and emotional stability. In other words, my goal is to help provide my clients and their children, a path forward. My second draw to family law is that I truly enjoy working with everyday people. As a result, I find that working with family law clients to be extremely rewarding and to be a fascinating area of the law.. I look forward to serving your Family Law needs.

I have nearly 25 years of teaching, counseling, design and drafting experience in the following practice areas:. Revocable & Irrevocable Trusts. Business Formation and Succession. Deferred Compensation Planning. Probate and Trust Administration. Income and Estate Tax Planning. Estate Litigation. Business Litigation. Real Estate Transactions. Wealth Transfer Planning. Charitable Planning. I reside in Mill Creek, Washington and enjoy traveling, alpine skiing, golf, mountain climbing, marathons, adventure races, and attending concerts and the theatre around Seattle.  I am active in charitable work for Seattle Children's Hospital, The Boy Scouts of America and various other non profit organizations in my local community.

I have devoted my career to representing individuals who have been injured as a result of the negligence of others.  I am committed to achieving justice for my clients and take a great deal of pride in providing aggressive legal advocacy for injured individuals in a broad range of cases, including catastrophic injury, wrongful death, brain injury, orthopedic injury and spinal injuries.  I have experience handling matters involving motor vehicle collisions, slip and fall incidents, unsafe premises incidents, negligent road maintenance and/or design and light aircraft crashes.. Although I have been doing this type of work for many years, I have never lost sight of the fact that each case is unique because each client is unique.  I enjoy providing creative and imaginative solutions tailored to the individual needs of each client.

I have decades of experience winning disability, long term care, life insurance, and wildfire/catastrophic loss property insurance cases. I look forward to doing the same for you.. Monahan Tucker Law has offices in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Portland, OR.  The journey to opening Monahan Tucker Law was decades-long. I worked as a waitress, office manager, book store clerk, messenger, and nanny to put myself through college and law school at the University of Chicago. For more than a decade after, I worked at some of the top law firms in the country, litigating bet-the-company cases, including high value life, health, property and disability insurance claims. Eventually, I realized that I like insurance cases, and I like helping people.  Now I use my knowledge of the inner workings of insurance companies to help insureds navigate these complex systems. While insurance claims are business decisions to the insurance companies, denials can change the life of the person who doesn't get the benefits they are owed.. Your legal issues will be unique, and you deserve an attorney who will recognize that and give every case the attention and analysis it deserves.  I have sued most of the large insurers in the country, including Unum, MetLife, Northwest Mutual, Life Insurance Company of America, Hartford, Reliance Standard, Prudential, Farmers, State Farm, CSAA, FAIR Plan, and many others, under both ERISA and state bad faith law.  I have been named "AV Preeminent" by Martindale Hubbell, which rates attorneys through peer review by querying judges and lawyers nationwide to identify attorneys "ranked at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal expertise, communication skills, and ethical standards by their peers." But perhaps most importantly, I realize that the litigation is about YOU, and righting a wrong against you.. I am admitted to the bar in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona, and can help you with your insurance issues throughout the west.

I have called the Pacific Northwest home since before I could speak.  After graduating with a B.A. from the University of Washigton, I attended Seattle University School of Law where I graduated Cum Laude.  Most of my free time is spent outdoors - hiking, golfing or camping. Travel and food are also passions of mine, although, most of my travel revolves around food.
