I have a master’s degree from the London School of Economics, and a law degree from Florida State University. After law school, I worked in the private sector for two years prior to joining the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 2010. Iworked at the Appeals Council for almost four years, reviewing thousands of disability decisions for compliance with SSA’s complex rules and procedures. Ithen worked at the hearing level for seven years, where I drafted almost 2,000 decisions for SSA Administrative Law Judges. After working for SSA for more than 10 years, I wanted to help demystify the complicated disability system. My first book, Social Security Disability Revealed: Why it’s so hard to access benefits and what you can do about it, explores the obstacles that disability claimants face as they try to access benefits.

I grew up in Tacoma, and I love being able to serve clients here in my hometown, as well as in the Greater Puget Sound area.

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 earned my J.D., cum laude, from the Seattle University School of Law in 2009. During law school, I served as an intern for the Ronald E. Peterson Indian Trusts and Estates Legal Clinic, advising elderly clients seeking assistance with their estate planning needs, which inlcuded advice regarding property distribution, advanced healthcare directives, and DPOAs. Moreover, while attending law school school, I worked as a Rule 9 Intern at Graham Lundberg and Peschel, performing trial support for personal injury litigation alongside plaintiff's attorneys.. Prior to attending law school, I graduated from the University of Washington, with honors, with a degree in Political Science. I have demonstrated a continued commitment to social justice in my ongoing volunteer efforts with the Eastside Legal Assistance Program and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. At ELAP, I provided legal assistance to victims of domestic violence by assisting them with the drafting of pleadings, coaching clients in preparation for court appearances, and the helping them to develop legal strategies in preparation for trial. At NWIRP, I showed a dedication to protecting the human rights of clients who fled persecution from their native lands in their quest for political asylum here in the States..

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.
