I graduated from University of Idaho, College of Law in2008. After Law School I went to work for a large firm in Spokane, Washington. Because of the downturn in the economy thatfirm began to struggle which resulted in layoffs and downsizing. Newer hires, like myself, were the first toget laid off. I opened my own firm,Stratton Law, in 2010 in Kennewick, Washington. I started out by doing quite a bit of contract work for other attorneysin the area, including quite a bit of personal injury work for AndersonLaw. Brian Anderson liked my work and Iwent to work full time for Anderson Law in 2011. My main focus now is personal injurynegotiation and litigation, including appeals.

Firm: Becker Franklin Rovang PLLC

I began my legal career defending personal injury claims for policy holders of major insurance companies to include USAA, Farmers Insurance Group, GEICO, and other insurers. I am able to put this experience to good use for my clients as I have now chosen to exclusively represent victims of negligence with their personal injury claims and no longer work for insurance companies.  I am admitted to practice in all Washington Courts and the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. I represent clients in Pierce, Thurston, Kitsap, King, Jefferson, Clallam, Mason, and Grays Harbor Counties.  I am a native of Washington and graduate of the University of Puget Sound.  I completed the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps program at UPS as a scholarship student and was selected as a Distinguished Graduate upon completing the program. I entered active duty with the Air Force shortly after earning my undergraduate degree.  In my spare time I enjoy photography and spending time with family and friends.  I enjoy meeting and talking to people from all walks of life and it is a priority that my clients are in a better place because of my representation.
