Top best E Lawyers in ZIP 97206 | 12 available

I have years and more than 60 jury trials worth of experience that I can bring to your case. Let me help you find the best outcome for your problem. I want to help you because I believe everyone needs a good lawyer.. For most of my life I’ve worked in helping professions. Before I came to the law I worked for Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services. I helped people get food stamps; I signed them up for reduced-cost childcare; I made sure they got the benefits that kept them from falling through the cracks.. I first wanted to be a lawyer when an elderly gentleman called me looking for help. He’d been wrongly denied benefits in the past but that was only the beginning of his problems. He faced legal problems – criminal charges and eviction – and he couldn’t find anyone to help him. I wanted to help him but couldn’t. I felt that if I were a awyer I could truly help people in dire straits.. A short while later, I enrolled in law school. Even before I was a lawyer, I continued working to help others. During law school I worked as intern with the Oregon Department of Justice helping to get kids away from abusive situations.. When an opportunity arose to directly help people – through criminal defense work – I jumped at it and spent five years working at a public defense office in Vancouver, WA. My work there taught me how to negotiate aggressively for my clients, persuade judges and connect with juries.. Now, I’m pleased to bring my skills to help you with your legal issues.. Contact me today for a free consultation.

I firmly believe that battles in the legal arena, as well as in  life, should be wisely and selectively chosen.  I do my best to ensure that I'm giving the best advice I can, taking into account the costs of proceeding, the likelihood of success, the risks of defeat, and the realities of the mental and emotional toll that litigation can take on a person and their circle.. I am married, have two kids, and enjoy playing golf, the guitar, and poker.  More information can be found about me at .

I bring fifteen years of courtroom experience to my practice. I handle a variety of types of cases with an emphasis on DUII Defense, Implied Consent Hearings, Expungement, and Restoration of Gun Rights. I also have practice experience in the areas of Juvenile and Family Law.. I am committed to making legal services affordable and accessible.. Please contact me at  or for a free consultation to see if I can be of assistance to you.
