After working at a large firm in the skyrises of Seattle on commercial litigation and real estate matters, I eventually found myself wanting to return to Kitsap so that I could work closer to my family.  As a Kitsap native, I'd commuted to both high school and law school on the ferry but eight years of that was enough.. Since returning to the area, I have worked with some of the finest criminal defense attorneys and in doing so have discovered a passion for the philosophical and technical aspects involved in representing those accused of DUI's and other crimes.  I represent individuals in this community - out-of-towners, long-time residents, old school mates, good people - who are all too often innocent of the charges leveled against them or, at worst, guilty of no more than a lapse in judgment.  I represent them with tenacity and respect.  I represent them like a neighbor.. I'm fortunate in that I have had such a broad array of legal experiences.  Having worked on a variety of matters from multi-million dollar transactions for Fortune 500 companies to trying cases on behalf of defendants who have little more than the clothes they wear to court, I have acquired the flexibility and a skill set that allows me to obtain extraordinary results for my clients.  I look forward to talking.
