My primary practice areas are corporate/business law, employment law and related dispute resolution and general civil litigation.

In addition to my primary practice, I have represented clients with their divorce proceedings inclusive of issues of jurisdiction and the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspect of International Child Abduction. As Co-Founder and Board Chair of a nonprofit organization, International Families Justice Coalition, I help indigent immigrants for their family law issues.

My practice is focused exclusively on immigration cases, including family immigration and removal defense (“deportation”) matters. I handle visas, asylum, naturalization, fiancée petitions, ‘green-card’ applications and relief for survivors of crime, domestic abuse and persecution.. I work closely with each of my clients, developing trust through accessibility, honesty and careful counsel.

When a client retains me to assist with a dispute, I fight to resolve the dispute in a manner that most economically benefits my client. Sometimes that involves fighting like a junk yard dog through trial. More often though, it involves being reasonable and cool headed while convincing the adverse party and his/her attorney of the merit's of my client's case. When I do my job correctly, the adverse party backs off his/her position and negotiates a resolution that most benefits my party. If I do my job correctly, we don't unnecessarily churn through thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney's fees. My clients never say, "the only winners in the litigation were the attorneys."

My mission is to deliver the most empowering and delightful legal experience possible.. I'm a northwest native, father, dog owner, and explorer.. I love helping businesses and individuals to do business with integrity.
