Hi there!  I am an associate at Bill Coats Law, PLLC in beautiful Bellingham, Washington.. I help injury victims face insurance companies so they can worry less about answering those constant calls and focus on getting better.. Outside the office, I am a dog mom to a beautiful brindle puppy, who sometimes gets to visit the office.

We live in a world full of risks of injury to life and property. The insurance industry was created to help offset those risks and it has become very lucrative. Today, when you are hurt through no fault of your own, you become a set of numbers to an insurance company. Unfortunately, as a set of numbers, it's easy for them to treat you as a faceless file. That is not how we should treat each other. As an attorney, I am grateful for the opportunity to stand next to you and share your humanity with the jury deciding your case so they see you, and not just the set of numbers that the insurance company presents.. Recently, I had the privilege of participating in the Trial Lawyers College's 3-week training program. During this course, I learned from professional therapists how to more effectively help people tell their stories. I learned to better draw from our shared human experience and connect on a deeper level. Everyone has experienced pain, struggle, and real suffering. When these experiences are forced upon you through someone else's wrongful act, you should be compensated for being forced to endure it. I am thankful to be the part of the American Justice System that helps people get pieces of their life back after being needlessly injured.. When not at work, I enjoy exploring the fresh air that the Pacific Northwest offers, from hiking and backpacking, to most recently off-roading. As my toddler gets older, I look forward to my family joining me on these adventures as well.. Thank you for empowering me to do good in this world, one case at a time.

I grew up in Arlington Washington on a 100-year-old out-of-commission dairy farm my parents fell in love with. I now live in Stanwood, Washington with my family. My life has been full of both blessings and setbacks which have taught me to live each day with an open heart and mind. And in turn, I am always on the hunt for the next trail to hike, far-off destination to explore, or new age fad to experience.. I have been licensed to practice in Washington since 2013. I am also licensed to practice in the Western District of Washington and 9th circuit court of appeals in federal court.
