Practice Areas: Family

I've been practicing law for over twenty years, almost all of it in Thurston County Family and Juvenile Court. I became a family law Guardian ad Litem in 2011, and served in that role for many years. I have accepted various court appointments over the years, representing minor children in dependency cases; both parents and children in minor guardianship cases; and petitioners in domestic violence protection order cases. I have occasionally served as a Title 4 GAL to investigate a party's competency.. In 2024, I was honored to begin serving the community in the capacity of Pro Tem Settlement Conference Judge, and my interest in that led me to take the Professional Mediation Training offered by the Thurston County Dispute Resolution Center, so that I may join the list of court-approved private mediators in 2025.. I became a lawyer because I like to help people and have a penchant for finding creative solutions to difficult problems. I understand how stressful family law is for the client, so I remain accessible at all times, whether it be by email, telephone, or even text. I'm also mindful of the financial impact the case has on a client - hiring a lawyer is expensive, but the costs should not be unreasonable. I like to teach, so strive to educate the client along the way, both regarding the law and the process, so that they may make informed decisions about their case. I believe that the best outcome is an agreed one, but I do also spend plenty of time in court arguing my client's position when a reasonable settlement cannot be reached.. I love what I do and consider myself fortunate to be in a profession that allows me to help people in such a profound way, while also giving me the freedom to pursue personal pursuits, such as playing basketball, listening to music, and teaching others D&D (including the afterschool club I founded at my kids' school). I live in Olympia with my two children.

I started the practice of law in California in 1977 (where I am still licensed), moving to the State of Washington in 1980. My practice has been centered on family law for 25 years.. My office prides itself on providing quality legal work for our clients, while at the same time caring about who we represent during a very stressful and disruptive time in their lives.  We strive to keep our clients involved in their proceedings and apprised of what is going on as we progress through the process.. While I am very comfortable in the courtroom, I have a keen awareness that as a practical matter the court process is often the most expensive and least efficient way to resolve any dispute.  This means that we use negotation, agreement and mediation whenever possible.. We will provide you with the knowledge, experience and understanding that you need at what is often one of the most difficult times in your life.
