Practice Areas: Estate Planning, Probate, Elder Law, Guardianship

My practice focuses on Elder Law but I handle estate planning and related matters for clients of all ages. Elder law primarily encompasses estate planning, probate, guardianship, special needs planning, and elder protection. I am Certified Elder Law Attorney.*  This certification is given by the National Elder Law Foundation only after meeting rigorous testing and experience criteria.   It is exceptionally rewarding to provide guidance and support for clients as they face the complicated issues associated with aging. The work is made even more enjoyable by the amazing team at the Elder Law Offices of Meyers, Neubeck and Hulford and I enjoy coming to work every day to see both my co-workers and clients.    Before coming to the Elder Law Offices of Meyers, Neubeck and Hulford,  I was in-house counsel for the Lummi Nation with a practice focusing on human resource issues, governmental administration and criminal prosecution.  When I am away from work, I spend a lot of time riding bicycles in the woods.. *The State Supreme Court of Washington does not recognize certification of specialists in the practice of law and that certificate, award or recognition is not a requirement to practice law in the state of Washington.

This breadth of experience also serves my clients well in drafting sound legal documents and keeping my clients and their loved ones out of court. In litigation I saw the pitfalls and missteps that get people into expensive legal disputes. So I take care to understand my clients and their goals. And I put my 17 years of legal experience to work when I help them to plan their estate, manage a trust, probate a family member's estate, or enter into a business arrangement.. I care about my community. I see apathy and cynicism arise when people feel like their needs and opinions do not matter. So I spend my free time helping to build and strengthen community organizations that empower people to make a difference. With strong community ties, I am better able to help my clients understand what resources are available for them, and help them get what they need.. Education.
