Top best Construction Lawyers in Kent | 6 available

I am the founder of South King County's largest law firm, and have served as a Managing Partner for all of its existence.  I conceived the firm as having Seattle/Bellevue law firm image and quality, but with the convenience and reasonable fees permitted by a Kent location.  The firm is now approaching its tenth anniversary; with eighteen lawyers - the experiment was a success!  I believe the lawyers in this firm are among the finest there are in the State.. I have over 36 years of legal experience, nearly all of it in a Partner/Leader capacity.  My own practice emphasizes the representation of municipalities, builders, developers and businesses in land use, commercial, construction, governmental and litigation matters.. I have substantial court and trial experience, including personal injury and criminal jury trials, commercial litigation, matters in the State Courts of Appeals and Supreme Court; and Federal trial and Appellate matters.  Although I still end up in Court a fair amount, more recently my cases tend to be resolved with Mediation, which I have found to be a very effective method to get my clients the best possible results at a reasonable cost.. I am regularly appointed by the King County Superior Court as an Arbitrator, and after hearing and deciding many such cases, I don't believe I have ever been appealed by the litigants.. I am married to Peggy and we have four sons - two of whom are fine attorneys with the firm.  My personal interests are photography, boating (we have a big, old Chris Craft), motorcycling (a big, old Harley), traveling, and eleven grandkids.
