After graduating from Colorado College with a B.A. in Economics and a minor in Western Resource Management, I moved to Washington D.C., and took a position with American Rivers lobbying on Capitol Hill and working with local governments and communities to balance industry with sustainable environmental systems.  I moved back to Seattle, WA, in 1998, and worked for a short time in the public relations world, continuing my work with environmental concerns. These experiences were excellent background for entering Willamette University College of Law, receiving my law degree in 2003.  I worked as a law clerk for City County Insurance Services, a risk liability pool insuring a vast array of Oregon public entities, during these years.. My professional legal experience includes the City of Tacoma’s prosecutor’s office where I led the division in both jury trials and criminal convictions.  The position was exceedingly fast paced, and entailed significant trial preparation, as well as dealing with extensive pre-trial discovery, and the strict attention to deadlines required with a high load of criminal cases.  I then worked with Bullivant, Houser & Bailey where I worked in the comprehensive trial litigation group.  I handled all aspects of civil defense, discovery, alternative dispute resolution, and trial preparation.   I then elected to move to Portland where I took a position with Gordon & Rees’ brand new Portland office, handling all aspects of defense litigation for a wide variety of civil defense litigation legal fields.  I am now Managing Partner of the Portland, Oregon office of HKM Employment Attorneys.  My experiences encompass the comprehensive areas of case analysis, discovery, depositions, legal research and writing, case investigation and resolution, trial preparation and alternative dispute resolution.  Marketing and networking have been a must, activities I thoroughly enjoy.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?. I work WITH my client, and the more they know the more they can assist in their cases.. Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?. I often work with clients who are capable of and do prepare their own documents. I prefer, in. many cases, to assist the client in making the initial presentation and/or demand.. Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?. An important part of my work with many clients is the development of a strategic plan in which. we sketch out what role is better suited for the client on his or her own, and what is better. suited for my direct intervention.. Why did you decide to be a lawyer?. I considered the legal profession the best way to make a difference in the day to day lives of. ordinary people.. What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?. I grew up in a working class small town, the son of a union mill worker with a 6th grade. education. I was able to pay my way through college and law school by the GI bill and part. and full-time jobs. With 28 years of experience representing individuals and companies in. employment related matters, I understand and appreciate the intricacies and interests of the. opposing parties in an employment dispute.. Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?. As I grew up in a working class town of working class parents, I knew about and identified with. working men and women. The practice of employment law gave me the opportunity to. advocate on behalf of the worker and to encourage employers to comply with the law. protecting employees.. What do you like best about your career?. I enjoy working with individuals rather than impersonal corporations. I enjoy the strategic. challenge of developing a plan to maximize a client's potential recovery for the violation of his or her rights.. Tell us about your law firm.. The firm is committed to providing the best employment law representation possible. All four. lawyers work exclusively (with very minor exceptions) in employment law representing. individuals with claims against employers or with and on behalf of individuals in strategic. planning regarding their employment relationships. With a combined experience exceeding 60 years, our four lawyers provide an unparalleled expertise in employment counseling and. employment claims litigation.. What are your strengths and style?. I listen to my clients and provide collaborative guidance and support. I attempt to discern each. client's goals and work toward achieving those goals. I am accessible and attempt to be. available to respond in a timely manner.. I am a professional, and I am good at what I do. I will not take unreasonable or unfounded. positions. I am tough with opposing counsel, but extend professional courtesies when. appropriate. I have been described as a bulldog; I pursue every angle and every fair. advantage on behalf of my clients.. Personal Interests.. I enjoy history, progressive politics, and children's issues.
