I am a shareholder specializing in family law, where I bring both a strong technical writing background and financial background to my cases.  I graduated from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law with the high honor of Order of St. Ives, only conferred on the top 10% of the graduating class.  While in law school, I also served for two years on the Denver University Law Review, where I further honed my understanding of the law and drafting skills.  Since joining Griffiths Law, I have drawn on my economics background to analyze complex asset cases, including separate property claims and dissipation of marital assets, as well as utilizing my extraordinary research and writing skills in drafting and finalization of motions and other documents.  I have represented clients both in Court and at the negotiating table.  I believe clients should be offered all options to resolve their family law matters, including negotiation, mediation and litigation.  Often clients come in for a divorce or parenting case feeling beaten by the system or disempowered and they need to be taught how to stand on their own feet and take ownership of their cases.  I believe in empowering my clients and I involve them in every aspect of the litigation or other resolution of their case.  I work with the best family law attorneys, although I am able to offer a lower hourly rate than my fellow shareholders, which is a great benefit to clients.  My particular specialties include cases with oil and gas assets, hidden assets and dissipation of assets claims, appeals, high conflict litigation, including post-decree cases, and relocation cases.

In my role as an attorney I enjoy complex analysis and problem solving. I have experience as a litigator in criminal court, immigration court, and family court. I enjoy analyzing complex family law issues including interstate and international custody, parental kidnapping and non-parental custody actions, among many other issues related to family law. My analysis has been included in amicus briefings to the Washington Supreme Court and in briefs to the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th District. I am a member of the Washington State Bar Association and member of the family law section. I was recently recognized in Super Lawyer Magazine and Seattle Met Magazine as a “Rising Star” and “Outstanding Young Lawyer.” Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about divorce, child custody, mediation or other family law matters.. I am an active volunteer in the Seattle area. I'm the former Board Chair and founding member of Reel Grrls, an organization that empowers young women from diverse communities to realize their power, talent and influence through media production. My husband and I have served as volunteer facilitators for the Program for Early Parent Support (PEPS). I provide pro bono legal services to low-income immigrants. When I'm not working, you may run into me at the Children's museum or the Zoo with my husband and two young children. In addition to raising my kids, I'm also raising two teenage cats: Ginseng and Lola. I travel regularly to my ancestral country, Peru.
