I am a life long Spokane resident with the exception of the four years I spent doing my undergraduate work in psychology at the University of Washington.  After UW I returned to Spokane and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Gonzaga University School of Law.. After law school, I joined the firm of Layman, Layman & Robinson, PLLP.  I have a diverse practice focusing on assisting those who have been seriously injured whether that be on the job, because of a product product defect, or in a car crash. My background in psychology has also directed my practice towards helping those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.  I also practice in other areas involving complex civil litigation including medical malpractice, construction law and employment law.. I love golf, the outdoors, and spending time with my incredible family.. If you have found yourself in need of legal advice to deal with an insurance company, the Department of Labor and Industries, or the after effects of a severe injury, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
