I worked as a civil trial lawyer prior to focusing exclusively on family law. I have extensive experience negotiating contentious and emotional cases.. Outside the office, I enjoy gardening, hiking, and spending time  with my wife and our two daughters.

I was born and raised in Seattle and graduated from Roosevelt High and the University ofWashington but chose Kitsap as the best place to raise a family and practice law. Myfirst job at age 14 was washing dishes at the UW. I moved up to potato peeler at SpudFish and Chips and while in high school landed a job as an apprentice scenery builder atthe Seattle Repertory Theater. This led to a journeyman membership the InternationalAlliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local #15. Rather than being drafted, I chose toserve in the Navy and was trained as an Electrician and a Salvage Diver. Returning tomy work with Local #15, I also served on the Executive Board and as BusinessRepresentative and President. I decided to use my GI Bill benefits to go to college andlaw school. I graduated from The Northwestern School of Law in 1983. Aftergraduating I continued my work with Local #15 as their President until wife and childrennecessitated me going into practice as a lawyer. My years with the rank and file madeRepresenting workers a natural for me. That was 1991, 30 years ago. I proudly maintainmy journeyman status with the Local and proudly continue to represent injured workers.Helping workers navigate a twisted system while keeping their dignity is what I do best. Iwill continue to stand with and for my working brothers and sisters and am proud to wearmy jeans to work.

I was born and raised in Kitsap County and am now happy to be able to practice law in the courthouse around the corner from the home I grew up in.  I started out thinking I wanted to be an employment defense attorney but quickly found that I've got organizational skills and a temperament that is, I believe, helpful to my domestic relations clients, who are often stuck like a deer in headlights because their lives are in crisis.  I try to be no-nonsense and practical because it benefits my clients both emotionally and fiscally, but, when necessary, can muster what is necessary to deal with an antagonistic opposing party or opposing counsel.

I have been a practicing attorney for over eight years, first as a litigator in the Puget Sound area and currently as a government attorney with the U.S. Navy Office of General Counsel in San Diego. I hope to return to the Seattle area in the near future.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and after attending law school at the University of Notre Dame, I practiced in a large law firm in Chicago where I practiced in the commercial litigation and intellectual property sections.  During my time in Chicago, I was exposed to many different styles of attorneys.  What impressed me the most were those attorneys who not only knew the law very well, but also took the time to get to know their clients personally, and thus serve their best needs.. Since moving back to the Northwest, I have created a practice that has a reputation for quality service and affordability.  With every client that I meet, I want to establish a long term relationship.  I understand that choosing a lawyer is a difficult decision.  Clients want to feel comfortable and confident with who they choose, so that when new problems arise, they know they have someone that they can trust to advise them.  Although many of my clients come to me initially for a specific problem, I have developed relationships with them that have developed into years of representation for all of their needs.  If I do not practice in a particular area, I have a number of referrals to other local attorneys who can.

Don't let insurance companies bully you. Obtain Justice, a fair settlement or verdict.

After working at a large firm in the skyrises of Seattle on commercial litigation and real estate matters, I eventually found myself wanting to return to Kitsap so that I could work closer to my family.  As a Kitsap native, I'd commuted to both high school and law school on the ferry but eight years of that was enough.. Since returning to the area, I have worked with some of the finest criminal defense attorneys and in doing so have discovered a passion for the philosophical and technical aspects involved in representing those accused of DUI's and other crimes.  I represent individuals in this community - out-of-towners, long-time residents, old school mates, good people - who are all too often innocent of the charges leveled against them or, at worst, guilty of no more than a lapse in judgment.  I represent them with tenacity and respect.  I represent them like a neighbor.. I'm fortunate in that I have had such a broad array of legal experiences.  Having worked on a variety of matters from multi-million dollar transactions for Fortune 500 companies to trying cases on behalf of defendants who have little more than the clothes they wear to court, I have acquired the flexibility and a skill set that allows me to obtain extraordinary results for my clients.  I look forward to talking.
