Top best C Lawyers in Seattle | 5008 available

I've been a construction lawyer in Seattle since 2004. This area of practice is all about figuring out the best way to work through disputes.  It boils down to using leverage -- in the right way, and at the right time.  And this part comes from knowing all the options. But my goal is to always provide the most practical range of options about what make sense going forward. And of course, what does not make sense.  The key is weeding through the "static," which is true in construction law and in life.. Contracts, liens and bonds (public and private) are at the heart of my practice.   My main goal is to be practical.  Running my own firm lets me be  flexible, and work towards the best solution possible.  It might sound trite but it is true: I think of each client as if he or she were a friend, sitting next to me at a lunch table or at a bar.

I'm the co-founder of TKN Tyson LLP.  I love helping startups, funds and entrepreneurs disrupt the status quo.  Let's work together.

Prior to becoming an attorney, I was an officer in the U.S. Navy.  While a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), I drove ships, managed weapon systems, supervised refueling and small boat operations, inspected engineering plants, oversaw government contracts, taught ROTC, and coached sailing.. I'm a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and I have a masters degree from Fordham University and a law degree from the University of Virginia.

I spent my first several years out of college as an engineer working for the Boeing Company at Everett and Renton sites.  But I soon decided to change careers and enrolled in the evening law program at Seattle University School of Law, while still working at Boeing.  While in law school I had the opportunity to work in the Ronald E. Peterson Bankruptcy Clinic, which provided me experience in bankruptcy law.  My experience working with in law clinic with actual clients was a key factor in my decision to practice bankruptcy law full-time and assist those facing financial hardship.. After graduating from law school, I volunteered for the King County Bar Association’s Housing Justice Project where I assisted tenants facing eviction proceedings.  While this was a rewarding pro bono experience, I was more interested in bankruptcy and debt relief law.  I signed up to be a volunteer attorney for the King County Bar Association’s Seattle Debt Clinic where my primary focus is helping low-income debtors who cannot otherwise afford an attorney file for bankruptcy protection.  I continue to use my legal skills in practice and through volunteer work at the Debt Clinic to helping people obtain a financial fresh start in life.

I was born and raised in the Chicago-land area, and will always consider myself a Chicago girl at heart although I absolutely love living in Seattle. I earned a degree in finance from the University of Illinois and started my career as a futures and options auditor. I went on to become a financial analyst for a couple of years before deciding that I needed a career change where I could more directly work with and help people. I attended law school at Tulane University in New Orleans, and am incredibly proud to have lived in such a diverse, rich, and amazing city. The time I lived in New Orleans was a period of time where the city was filled with unfaltering hope, revitalization, and rejuvenation post-Katrina. I will be forever grateful that I was able to call myself a New Orleanian for three incredible years..

I think many people are surprised by their own strength and transformations; it’s thrilling to be a part of their journey!. Family law deals with two areas many people hold most dear – their family and their finances. It is a highly emotionally charged area of law, and I enjoy bringing my financial background to the table. It is my job as an attorney to advocate to the best of my ability for my clients, to educate them on the law, and to listen to them when all they need is an ear.. I love music and am a classically trained pianist as well as a saxophone player. A huge sports fan, I am always rooting on my Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Fighting Illini. After living in the incredible city of New Orleans, I am an avid supporter of any and all things championing the rebuilding of NOLA. My favorite activity outside of the office is spending time with my daughter and my husband. I live with my husband, our daughters.

I was born and raised in Seattle, attending Roosevelt High School. During the summers I had a number of jobs including a ride operator ("carny") at the Seattle center and a warehouse worker at Safeway. Following high school, I left Seattle for Los Angeles where I attended UCLA as an undergraduate from where I graduated early as an economics and political science major and left to travel.  I was accepted into Boston University Law School and worked in Washington DC for two summers; the first for the Peace Corp in an administrative capacity evaluating recruiting techniques for high demand skills, and the second for the Federal Power Commission on a special home energy conservation program.  My time in Washington DC coincided with Watergate and Nixon's resignation and was quite exciting.  Following law school I returned to Seattle and after passing the bar, cut my teeth on the construction litigation surrounding the Kingdome.  After three and a half years I took leave of the practice of law and traveled for one year around the world with my wife.  I have been engaged in the active practice of law since my return.  Following my return, my wife and I raised two great kids who are now young adults.   I continue to be interested in travel and have enjoyed a number of adventures.  I enjoy many sports including skiing.  I collect wine.  I continue to enjoy the practice of law and my clients.

I was born and raised in Seattle, and am pleased to practice in our great Pacific Northwest. This is my home. I graduated from law school in 1984 and went to work for the Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. This provided an opportunity to develop trial skills and the ability to present cases to judges and juries.. From 1986-1990, I was the managing attorney for the main Seattle Office for Hyatt Legal Services. This position provided an opportunity to analyze and solve various issues that confront a general practice such as: Domestic Relations, Criminal Defense, Bankruptcy, Real Estate, Wills, and miscellaneous consumer matters. It also provided many opportunities to practice in State and Federal court.. From 1990-97, I was an insurance defense attorney for the Seattle law firm of Alexander & Bierman. For several years, I defended hundreds of cases on the insurance company's behalf. I know how insurance companies value claims and the techniques they employ in an effort to detract from the value of a claim.. In 1997, I opened my own law practice. I specialize in representing people injured by the negligence of others against the insurance company.. My mission is to utilize over 30 years of experience to obtain the best outcome in settlement or trial for my clients.

I impart realistic objectives and provide the services needed to realize those objectives.  Let me use my experience from years of defending the insurance company to your advantage.

I serve as the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of American Seafoods Group, the largest vertically integrated seafood company in North America. My practice is by necessity general in nature, but involves a heavy concentration of corporate, M&A, securities, debt finance and employment law. I've been practicing for 12 years in the Seattle area and am a graduate of the University of Washington law school.

I serve as outsourced general counsel for companies that want experienced legal counsel but don't need a full-time attorney, as well as supporting existing legal teams.. I am an experienced attorney and business leader with over 21 years of law-firm and in-house experience. I have a broad base of knowledge and substantial hands-on experience in diverse fields, including contracts, corporate governance, employment law and HR, early-stage equity and convertible debt offerings, intellectual property, M&A (buy and sell side), international operations, dispute resolution, and general corporate, governance and regulatory matters.

I see my job as a lawyer as helping people find solutions to their problems. This means spending time listening to my clients to find out what their goals, fears, and hopes are, and then working with them to try and find out how we can best achieve their objectives.. My practice is focused on working with clients who are seeking to resolve their issues outside of court. For me, Collaborative Law is a way to help people end their marriage in a reasonable and adult way that will allow them to look back on their divorce as a time of positive growth. Collaborative principles allow this to happen in a safe and respectful environment.. One benefit of resolving things outside of court is preservation of existing relationships. A therapist I know put it very well when she said that in a divorce, we end the relationship of husband/wife, but the relationships of mother/father/children continue. It is those relationships of father/mother/children that need to be protected to the extent possible even when the family is no longer going to be living together in a single home.. A second benefit is self-determination. A resolution that the parties create for themselves with professional assistance, and that they therefore truly believe in, will be far more durable, far more satisfying, and far more tailored to their specific concerns and circumstances than a resolution imposed by a court, or even a resolution negotiated between two attorneys.

I represent management in labor and employment issues, ranging from class actions and wage-hour matters to "traditional" labor matters involving unions: organizing campaigns, negotiations, strikes, picketing, and arbitration.

I defend clients in white collar criminal prosecutions and complex civil litigation, with an emphasis on parallel proceedings and internal investigations.

I have served as a prosecuting attorney, defense counsel, appellate attorney, internal investigative counsel, government ethics adviser, and trial advocacy instructor. Prior to joining McKay Chadwell in 2006, I represented the State of Washington in civil and criminal matters as an Assistant Attorney General, where I served on the Washington Bar Association’s Committee on Public Defense. Prior to moving to Washington State, I served on active duty with the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

I represent corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and individuals in business and corporate law matters, with an emphasis on securities, mergers and acquisitions, and technology issues.
