I was born and raised in Seattle, and am pleased to practice in our great Pacific Northwest. This is my home. I graduated from law school in 1984 and went to work for the Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. This provided an opportunity to develop trial skills and the ability to present cases to judges and juries..

It also provided many opportunities to practice in State and Federal court.. From 1990-97, I was an insurance defense attorney for the Seattle law firm of Alexander & Bierman. For several years, I defended hundreds of cases on the insurance company's behalf. I know how insurance companies value claims and the techniques they employ in an effort to detract from the value of a claim.. In 1997, I opened my own law practice. I specialize in representing people injured by the negligence of others against the insurance company.. My mission is to utilize over 30 years of experience to obtain the best outcome in settlement or trial for my clients. I give thoughtful attention to all facts and legal issues, give you information about your rights, evaluate your claim with an experienced eye, and significantly increase the amount of compensation you receive.
