I attended law school at the University of Missouri in Kansas City after obtaining my bachelor's degree in geology at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS.  I worked for a while in environmental construction consulting before attending law school.  I was a technical editor of my law review, and won the American Jurisprudence prize my third year.  I joined the law firm of Sandler, Balkin, Weinstein & Witten, PC in Kansas City and immediately gained civil trial experience in construction, surety, employment and other civil litigation.  I also became licensed in Kansas, as many attorneys on the western edge of Missouri do.  I practiced in Missouri with the same firm until 1997, when I moved to Alaska and joined a firm in Anchorage, still concentrating on construction, surety, employment and general business litigation.  My family was transferred to New Jersey and I practiced with a firm there handling primarily construction liens, before another transfer to Seattle in 2001.  I worked with a large construction law firm until I left to travel with my daughter before she started school.  We enjoyed international travel for almost a year, and I returned to the South King County area and started my own firm.  I enjoy both litigation and mediation, and I have a sincere concern for the costs of litigation for ordinary small businesses and individuals.  My focus is on a prompt resolution, with a wholistic approach to the entire problem (if the contract got you into litigation, let's address that, too, for example).  You can learn more about me on my website:

Each client is different. However, the one thing that all clients have in common is they don't want to be a "client". No one wants to be a client any more than they want to be a patient. None of us ask for legal headaches any more than we ask for medical aches and pains. Most companies, and the people who manage the companies, are on the short side of time and money. Running a business takes most of their waking moments. Any remaining time is quickly absorbed with family and personal schedules.. I was born in Seattle in 1945 and never left. It's a super place to live, work, and raise a family. I received both my B.A. (1968) and law degree (1975) from the University of Washington. Since then I have represented contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, architects, and engineers. My work involves getting my clients paid for their work, and helping them with business transactions and contracts.. When somebody asks me to give them some help, it's usually because they've already been stressing over the problem for a while and have arrived at the painful conclusion that the problem either won't go away by itself or they can't solve the problem by themselves. They're apprehensive about now having to pay somebody else to help them to a resolution. Every client and every matter is different. But the common thread weaving through all of them is that the client wants to get to a resolution as soon and as economically as possible.

I brief and argue select cases to the Washington and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal.. Trial attorneys and appellate attorneys are, at their core, highly-skilled persuaders. But a great trial lawyer and an effective appellate advocate rarely exist in the same body. The reason is simple: the rhetorical tools used at trial to persuade a fact-finder are far different from those necessary to persuade a panel of appellate judges.. While good trial lawyers are adept at ferreting out information through discovery, examining witnesses and making spontaneous tactical decisions in court, an appellate lawyer must be especially talented in persuasive writing. On appeal, the focus shifts from developing facts to mastering the record, researching legal principles, understanding subtle distinctions and emerging legal trends, exploring creative analogies, and guiding policy considerations that shape the law, and then assembling everything in a concise, persuasively written brief. Too many trial lawyers fail to make this adjustment. Indeed, too many trial lawyers do not even realize that an adjustment is required—to the detriment of their clients.. Trial lawyers have busy schedules: court appearances, depositions, discovery, client meetings, travel. The day-to-day life of a trial lawyer leaves little time for the thoughtful reflection, exhaustive research, and precise, persuasive writing that effective appellate representation requires. I focus my practice on what I do best: briefing and arguing to the Washington and Ninth Circuit appellate courts. If you are a Washington trial attorney facing an appeal, I can help.

I represent owners, commercial general contractors, subcontractors, and design professional in construction, contract, and insurance coverage disputes.  I also represent clients in other complex civil litigation matters.  With a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and experience working in construction, I offer a unique background to clients in the construction and business fields.  I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law in Boulder, Colorado and began my legal career as a Deputy District Attorney in Weld County, Colorado, where I tried nearly forty jury trials and many more bench trials in five years.  I am an experienced trial litigator who zelously advocates for my clients.. I am currently licensed to practice law in Washington State courts, U.S. District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Washington, Idaho State Court, U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, Oregon State courts, Montana State courts, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  I have successfully argued cases in front of the Washington Supreme Court, the Washington Court of Appeals, and the Oregon Court of Appeals.  I have been named as a Super Lawyer in Construction Litigation by Washington Super Lawyers Magazine, and recognized as a "Top Lawyer" in Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Living Magazine.  I also served for six years as an at-large member on the Executive Committee for the WSBA Construction Law Section.. As a Spokane native, I attended Eastern Washington University for two years as an undergraduate before transfering to Southwestern Adventist University to play baseball while finishing my colledge education.  I graduated magna cum laude from Southwestern Adventist University.  I enjoy spending time with my family and being involved in anything baseball related.
