For over 15 years, I've been a criminal trial attorney, and I have nearly 20 years total legal experience.  I enjoy fighting for my clients - most of whom are facing the toughest challenge of their lives.. When I opened my private firm in 2011, I saw a need for civilian defense attorneys knowledgeable in military law -- someone to assess the consequences faced by servicemembers accused of crimes or misconduct, but who could also assist clients in military and civilian court.  Working with servicemembers has been a great fit for me with my background; I am the daughter of a career Navy NCO, and I married an Army Officer. Just about every generation of my family has sent at least one family member off to war. They fight for us: now I get to fight for them.. While I will always devote a significant portion of my practice to military cases, I also enjoy work with clients from all walks of life.  I listen to my clients and try to understand each client's goals and values, so that we can work closely together to achieve the best outcome.  I pride myself on my legal advocacy in the courtroom and in my written work product. Furthermore, I have advanced training in negotiation and alternative dispute resolution. Often, I can get good results working with prosecutors, Commanders, and law enforcement. when that is appropriate or desirable. For those cases that are not able to be resolved, I work constantly to hone my trial skills, and I am proud of my reputation as a tough litigator.. I am blessed and honored to defend the Constitution for a living.  My clients appreciate that I am passionate about what I do and the fact that I fight hard for them in court, but also like that I'm respectful and down-to-earth. Although I credit my Duke and UW educational background for developing my legal reasoning and writing abilities, what makes me a successful attorney is my hardworking, positive attitude, and my passion for defending people who are facing their toughest legal challenges.  If you have any questions about my practice and how I can help you, please call or email me.  I offer a free consultation for cases in my practice area, so you can see if I am a good fit for you and your case.

Prior to coming to Beckwith, I practiced as a public defender in Kitsap County. That was my initial exposure to the immense disparity in resources between a criminal defendant, and the State. I empathize with the struggle of feeling powerless in the face of criminal charges.
