I have an active civil litigation practice defending and advising medical professionals and healthcare institutions in medical malpractice claims and actions. I also represent healthcare practitioners in licensing and disciplinary disputes.. Experience:

I grew up here in Tacoma, and came back after my military service and law school to practice in my home town. I spent the last two years of law school working full time, while taking classes, as a legal intern so that I could hit the ground running for my clients from day 1. When I'm not in the office, or in court, I'm either training for my next Tough Mudder run, practicing my guitar (believe me, I need the practice), or enjoying time with my friends and family.

I graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 2014 following ten years of experience as a family law paralegal. I firmly believe that my clients have more than "cases", they have lives. It is my goal to provide my clients with effective advocacy, competent counsel and compassion as they work through this very difficult time in their lives.

I believe in fiercely advocating for my clients.

I am an attorney with Beckwith Law, where I primarily defend clients facing charges such as Driving Under the Influence, and allegations involving Domestic Violence. Prior to coming to Beckwith, I practiced as a public defender in Kitsap County. That was my initial exposure to the immense disparity in resources between a criminal defendant, and the State. I empathize with the struggle of feeling powerless in the face of criminal charges. My goals as a criminal defense lawyer are to counsel clients through the difficult process of the criminal justice system, and to advocate strongly on their behalf to ensure that we achieve the best possible result from that process.

I am a trial lawyer committed to helping individuals and their families reclaim their lives after losing a loved one or suffering injury because of the negligence of others. I began my legal career working as a defense attorney for an insurance company. Through taking cases to trial and countless arbitrations, I saw first-hand how insurance companies can quickly lose sight of the human aspect of injury and insurance claims, viewing cases merely as business concerns to be settled cheaply or hard-fought, regardless of cost. Later in my career, I defended insurance companies in bad faith litigation. Currently, I represent injury victims in personal injury, traumatic brain injury, insurance bad faith, medical malpractice, medical device defect, and product liability cases.. Prior to entering law school, I worked as a property and casualty claims adjuster for two national insurers, handling wildfire and mudslide catastrophe claims in California, as well as mid to large loss claims arising from hurricanes in the Southern U.S.. My experience both as a claims adjuster and lawyer taught me that in order to obtain the best settlement, you have to show the insurance company and/or the defense you are willing and prepared to take the case to trial. For this reason, I prepare every case as if it is going to trial from day one.

Thereafter, she attended Gonzaga University where she was recognized at graduation with the Pro Bono Distinction for her work with  the YWCA Domestic Violence Legal Clinic..

Emelia has spent her career soaking up knowledge from both sides of the legal aisle, in dozens of courtrooms up and down Western Washington.

Civilly, she worked as Staff Counsel for one of the largest insurance agencies in the country, and now regularly teams up against them on behalf of injured claimants seeking just compensation.. Never one to pass up an opportunity for a jury trial, an arbitration, or a zealous oral argument, Emelia also realizes the importance of her quieter skills: creative and persuasive negotiation tactics, an expertly-analyzed legal brief, and the oft forgotten art of integrity in her dealings with clients and colleagues.. In her free time, she enjoys home renovation projects, volunteering at her kids’ schools, and exploring the cuisine, sights and scenery of the beautiful PNW.
