I am a Member in the Seattle office of Williams Kastner.  As a trial attorney, I primarily handle commercial disputes and defend high-stakes product defect claims.  My product liability practice encompasses aviation, consumer products, and toxic torts.  I serve as national trial counsel for several clients in toxic tort litigation.  I also serve in an advising capacity for corporate clients seeking to develop nationwide strategies for the defense of mass-tort litigation.  As lead trial counsel, I have obtained defense verdicts in state courts and successfully argued for his clients before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and several of Washington’s appellate courts.  I am admitted to practice in California, Oregon and Washington.  I was named to the Rising Stars list by Washington Law & Politics magazine each year from 2001-2008.

I am a civil litigator with the firm of Schroeter Goldmark & Bender focusing on mesothelioma-asbestos and personal injury cases. Since 2013, I have represented asbestos victims and have obtained record jury awards in Washington and Oregon as well as significant settlements before and after starting trial. My practice is defined by my belief that compensating victims and supporting their families is as important as holding companies responsible for their actions.
