When seeking a family law attorney, there are three important factors to consider: experience, knowledge and cost.
My practice is exclusively family law. I am sensitive to the emotional nature of family law litigation and am willing to put in the extra effort necessary to achieve a successful result. I am determined to obtain the best outcome for my clients but not reluctant to discourage expensive and unnecessary litigation or to pursue a less costly means to achieve a desired end.

When clients are injured, they look for an experienced personal injury attorney who is willing to work hard to prove their case. They want an attorney who can take on the insurance companies and their teams of lawyers, and who will go to whatever lengths are necessary to prove their case.  They want an attorney who hopefully will be able to get them a fair settlement quickly, but if this is not possible, an attorney who can do an outstanding job in proving their case at trial.. I understand, and I take great pride in offering these services to our clients.. Importantly, my firm also know that a critical part of representing clients is the trust that clients place in our hands with their matter.  If they have been injured, or a loved one has been killed, they want an attorney whom they can trust, and who will be there for them whenever they are needed.  Every client and every case is unique, and it’s important to build a strong bond with clients so that we can better make their case, and so that we can guide them carefully through the legal process in attempting to secure fair compensation based upon their damages and their particular circumstances.. As an attorney and legal counsel, I am there for clients throughout their lawsuit to explain the legal process so that they know exactly what to expect.  We are also there to take on the burden of fighting the opposing parties so that our clients can resume their lives..

At Dore Law Group, you've got an entire team of professionals to look after the legalities of your case, so you can concentrate on your personal well-being..

I have extensive courtroom experience, having tried over 35 jury trials and 100 trials with only judges in my career..

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.

I am an attorney with Newton and Hall, PLLC.– a law firm dedicated solely to criminal defense. Our firm handles complex felony cases to simple misdemeanors.

I strive to support, educate, and advocate for my clients to achieve the greatest possible outcome in any case.
