In sixteen years of practice I have successfully tried dozens of jury trials in both state and federal court. I have argued at the Washington Supreme Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I believe there are no unwinnable cases, and that oral advocacy skills in the courtroom are secondary to the research and analysis necessary to weaken the opponent’s case and ultimately achieve the best result for the client.  I am licensed to practice law in all Washington State courts, as well as federally, in both the Western and Eastern Districts of Washington. Feel free to give me a call and give me the opportunity to fight for you.
