I was born and raised in Washington State and love living in the Northwest.  I attended the University of Washington where I studied politics and philosophy and earned my Bachelor of Arts degree.  I continued on to law school at the University of Idaho College of Law in Moscow, Idaho where I recieved my Juris Doctorate degree.. I went to law school to become a criminal defense attorney and am dedicated to what I do.  I can truly say the most rewarding part of my job is standing up for my clients when the State's prosecutorial powers are bearing down on them. My practice focuses on DUI and other vehicle or alcohol/substance related accusations but I have worked nearly every type of criminal case.. Additionally, I try to use both knowledge and creativity to solve problems associated with being accused with crimes and the very numerous consequences that evolve from such accusations or convictions.  Whether it be cleaning up a criminal record or figuring out how to get access to Canada so you can enjoy a family vacation at Whistler I am here to help you.. If I'm not in my office or answering emails on my iPhone you'll find me playing with family, hiking in the Cascades, or listening to my music louder than my mother would allow.

I’d like to tell you a story about why I help people who have claims against insurance companies.  Its 1991 and I’m a law student living out-of-state when my mom calls to tell me she’s been burglarized.  She is scared and upset.  Fortunately nothing sentimental is stolen.  I naively tell mom that her homeowners insurance will compensate her for the things that were taken.. It turns out that the claim process is more upsetting for mom than the break in.  They make her jump through all kinds of unnecessary hoops and try to low ball her on the value of the claim.  The insurance company, who she has been with for over 20 years, treats her like she did something wrong.. I do everything I can to help, but at this time I don’t really know how insurance companies work and what can be done to make them to treat mom fairly. We feel helpless at the company’s “take it or leave it” attitude.. Over the past 20 years, I have learned how to level the playing field for people like my mom.  In the courthouse, insurance companies have to answer to a jury, not shareholders.  While most cases do not go to trial, you need the leverage of a trial to make them treat you fairly.. If you have been injured through no fault of your own and are facing an insurance company alone, please give me a call. I’d be glad to help.

Without getting overly philosophical, the law is the foundation for a civil society. But it can be a complicated beast. Unfortunately, people often find themselves entwined in our labyrinthine legal system for a variety of reasons: injuries; domestic disputes; liability issues; contract and business disagreements; and criminal charges, to name a few.  In such situations, the assistance of a knowledgeable, empathetic, and committed lawyer is invaluable.. I have dedicated my career to representing people in their times of need. I know that being involved in any legal matter can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. You need guidance; you need advice; and you need competent and tenatious representation. Understanding this, I am devoted to my clients' causes and strive to achieve the best possible results in any given circumstance.. Simply put, I help people with their legal problems. I can help you with yours.

Practice Areas: Personal Injury

My practice mostly focuses on personal injury cases - think car crashes, an injury due to a badly designed sidewalk or road, or a bicycle crash. I also advise clients on tenant side landlord/tenant issues and other general civil litigation matters. I beleive that good advocacy is about a listening ear, good relationships, and a good balance between standing up for rights and a focus on desired outcomes. I try to work things out amicably, but I will always fight for my clients when I need to.. I'm a native of Bellingham. Prior to more scholarly pursuits, I worked at ski areas and bike shops around the Northwest and Alaska. I'm an avid mountain biker, skier, and outdoorsman, so I appreciate how difficult it is for clients when their lives have been affected by injury. I strive to help client’s deal with injury and provide low-stress representation to guide them through the process of both financial and physical recovery.
