Firm: Wechsler Becker LLP
Practice Areas: Family
I am an attorney at law and partner at Wechsler Becker LLP, practicing Family Law, and helping my clients through a stinky part of their lives. This involves anything from divorce, parenting plans, child support, paternity actions, third party custody actions and agreed adoptions, usually by step-parents or grandparents. The only reason I went to law school was to practice Family Law. It's the most likely area of law in which a person will be engaged, and I wanted to help people. I got my wish, love my practice, and have met some very cool clients and colleagues.. Prior to joining Wechsler Becker LLP, I was a solo practitioner for 10 years with my own firm, and before that I had the pleasure of working for 10 years for one of the pillars of Western Washington Family Law, who was a fabulous mentor: Bob Prince. It was an honor to work for one of the most ethical attorneys I know.. Law is my second career; the first one was 16 years in broadcast video production, working in TV stations in Montana and Washington, producing news, commercials and local programming. I even won an Emmy!

I have lived in Kennewick, Washington for most of my life. I graduated from Kennewick High School and Columbia Basin College. I subsequently attended Washington State University for my BA and the University of Idaho College of Law for my JD. I was a prosecuting attorney for 11 years, practicing in both Yakima and Franklin Counties. During that time I worked in the District Court, Juvenile Court, Child Support and Mental Health departments. I have been in private practice for more than 3 years. My focus is primarily on domestic cases (including dissolution, child support, parenting plans and paternity establishment) and criminal defense. I also deal with various other legal situations, including traffic violations and simple wills. I work closely with my clients and do what I can to bring them a positive outcome, while also trying to help them truly understand the very complex nature of the legal system and how it works.
