I’d call lawyering my day job, but that wouldn’t be true. Lawyering is an around-the-clock investment for me. I pride myself in forming strong relationships with my clients, and their lives become a part of mine. I work for the underdog. And I like it that way.. Outside the law? You'll find me in motion-- on the trails, on my bike, travelling abroad, competing with my dogs. I'm always trying to find my edge. And trying to redefine it.

I provide general legal and business counseling to startups, nonprofits, and social entrepreneurs.. I previously worked as General Counsel at TUNE and as an associate attorney at Perkins Coie. I'm currently a Board member for the WA Technology Industry Association and Columbia Legal Services. I previously served as the University of Washington's Student Regent, managed a state legislative campaign, researched in Ghana on behalf of a start-up social enterprise, split an apple strudel with Kofi Annan while working at a think tank in Salzburg, and lectured on Pink Floyd lyrics as an English teacher in Taiwan.

I began my career as a criminal defense attorney. For 13 years, I defended people accused of felony and misdemeanor crimes, trying hundreds of cases and arguing before the court of appeals..

After gaining this experience, I wanted to return to a practice where I represented individuals seeking justice. For the past four years, I have focused my practice on representing injured individuals. The types of cases I have handled include motor vehicle accidents, assaults, skiing and bicycle accidents, slip and falls, wrongful death and civil rights violations.. I bring my knowledge of insurance company practices, my extensive trial and advocacy experience and my passion for justice to each case.. When I am not working, I enjoy hiking, biking and skiing and walking my dog. I have traveled to many countries and worked in a refugee camp.

I am inspired by nonprofit organizations, by their impact, by their leadership, and by their passion. Apex Law Group is a firm that shares my heart for nonprofits with a team of kindred spirits that cares for our clients as much as our clients care about the community around them..

Both my parents own small businesses, so it is very personal to me to see local businesses succeed and make an impact.

I serve local for-profits and nonprofits through formation, growth, and exit strategies. I empower both for-profit and nonprofit founders to establish their new venture correctly from day one.
