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 have a passion for representing victims of employment discrimination in pursuit of justice for each.  I have been and continue to be a zealous advocate for my clients. With my team of four lawyers and a paralegal, my firm has been very successful in litigating and in settling big, medium and small dollar employment law cases.  We are smart, practical, and approachable.  I have been described by defense lawyers as the one that employer's lawyers hate to come up against - "charming but deadly." My 50-years of experience give me a clear vision of how best to pursue a client's case to a righteous conclusion.  We are fierce advocates and wise counselors.

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.. I then worked for 10 years in insurance companies and law firms, defending persons and companies in personal injury lawsuits. I represented clients in numerous arbitrations, mediations and negotiations, and had a stellar success rate at trial.. 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 a trial lawyer representing victims of misconduct.  I am also a dad, husband, Scuba diver, guitar player, and occasional weekend warrier handyman.

I am a tireless advocate of my clients first and foremost, but outside of my job I do enjoy other things legal and non-legal alike. I volunteer with the First Responders Will Clinic writing wills for  Washington's first responders, and I spend time reading legal guides and articles to help sharpen my in office skills. When I am not focused on the law I like to garden, hike, swim, and go to as many games at Safeco as I can. I followed in my grandfather's and father's footsteps when it comes to amassing grand amounts of baseball knowledge. Watching and playing baseball is essential to my well being.
