I love working in Tacoma. My great great grandparents were loggers here in Tacoma, having come to Tacoma by way of Pysht (near Port Angeles), Michigan, and Scotland and Ireland. The county-city building in Tacoma sits on the site of my great grandfather Waters store "Waters The Grocer" open in the 1880's. Every day I walk on the ground my great grandfather walked more than a century ago. I feel privileged working in Tacoma assisting the elderly and their children.

P.O. Box 815 , Liberty Lake , Washington 99019
Practice Areas: Elder Law
I created the firm Estates and Elders Law PLLC to help elders and their families plan and navigate the legal and social issues that come with aging. I provide estate and care planning and help for those families coping with a loved one's care or loss.. Practicing law is a later-in-life career for me. I attended law school following a 33 year career in telecommunications and application software - most of that in sales. It was a career high sale that yielded the sales commission that would pay for my career change and law school tuition.. And it was my mother's six year journey with Alzheimer's disease that yielded the inspiration to prepare for the opportunity to help others who unfortunately must travel the same path. It was my great privilege to help my mother during her time of need.. I was fortunate to become an elder law attorney to help families like ours during their time of need.
