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..

I was born in Toronto Canada a long time ago and that is all I am going to speak about age.  My family moved to Washington State in 1967.  I had a green card until I passed the bar and you were required at that time to be an American Citizen to be licensed.    Coming to the States is the second best thing that has happened to me.  Meeting and marrying my wife is the first... My only claim to faim at the University of Washington was playing freshman baseball and pitching a no-hitter against Olympic Junior College.. I was inspired by JFK to be a lawyer but I never envisioned doing what I do now.. The greatest thing about helping injured people besides helping them is I don't. get paid unless my clients do.. That fact and 42 years of experience gives my clients and I a very, very good chance of being compensated.  The hardest part of what I do is seeing my injured clients go through what they do until the case is over.

I was born and raised in Western Washington.  I enjoy spending time with my family, swiming, and hiking in our local area.

I practice  exclusively in the  area of immigration law and I am  the head of the Immigration Department at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC.  I am also a founding partner of my law firm.  My immigration practice assists individuals with family reunification and citizenship matters and supports the business immigration needs of local, national, and international corporations and non-profit organizations.  I regularly defends the rights of immigrants and their families and frequently handles complex immigration cases in areas of deportation defense, waiver applications, administrative and federal court appeals, and consular processing matters.. I am married and have two beautiful daughters and an aging cocker spaniel.  I enjoy playing tennis and soccer and spending time with my family.

I have focused my 23 years of practicing law exclusively in the areas of personal injury and insurance matters.  I was formerly a senior attorney for a large national insurance company. Happily, I have since dedicated my practice to representing people and families who suffer from the effects of severe injuries or wrongful death. My insight into how insurance companies work helps me get excellent results for clients. As a partner at Adler Giersch, I'm very proud to be a part of a law firm that is very different from most others. We emphasize taking personalized care of clients, being good listeners, and still fighting hard for the best results possible. We are a small business that places emphasis on paying more attention to fewer cases, instead of trying to take as many cases as possible. My clients come from all parts of Washington State. I am especially proud to assist residents in Kent, and all of South King County, as I am a South King County resident myself.. I have extensive courtroom experience, having tried over 35 jury trials and 100 trials with only judges in my career.. I have achieved an "AV" Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the top rating for attorneys based on reviews from other attorneys. I have received a "10.0" rating from along with the Client's Choice Award. I have been voted a "Super Lawyer" by that publication based on the votes of other attorneys. I am also a member of the Washington State Bar Association, Washington State Association for Justice (Eagle member), Brain Injury Association of Washington, King County Bar Association, and the Latino Bar Association of Washington.

I have been passionate about protecting the rights of immigrants since law school. I accept all types of immigration matters, and I specialize in finding solutions in complex cases.
