Hi there and thanks for visiting my page! Let me tell you a little bit about my practice.. For over 27 years, I have worked tirelessly for clients throughout King County.. Divorce and family law is a very emotional area of the law, and I have worked exclusively in this area. I am committed to providing as much support as possible to all my clients. My goal is to get you through this process as smoothly as possible. Sometimes we will need to get the court's input on issues and other times we will be able to work out agreements with the other party. Working out agreements that are fair and equitable and in the best interest of your children, if applicable, is always the best option and makes this process much more bearable for you. However, if we need to go to court then so be it and we will do it together!. I began working in family law in 1998 for another attorney in King County. In 2003, I opened my own law office. In 2014, I decided to move my office to my home in Auburn.. Because I am a sole practitioner and work out of my home, I am able to spend as much time as needed, whenever needed, on each of my cases. I often have phone conferences in the evenings and weekends to accommodate my clients' schedules. Shoot me an email and we can set up a time to chat!. Thanks so much for taking time to review my page:)
