A divorce is one of the most difficult experiences a person may go through in their lifetime, much like a death. Most people want to go through this transition privately and without creating more conflict. I want to help families navigate their divorce in a respectful and healthy way. It is possible to minimize, if not eliminate, the impact a divorce has on one's children and Collaborative Law encourages this. Preserving the co-parent relationships moving forward for the benefit of one's children is essential. Even if one does not have children, Collaborative Law helps the healing process begin in a mutually respectful manner.. Further, most people would like to make their own decisions in their divorce as they know what is going to work best for their own family; Collaborative divorce supports this.. Even if Collaborative Law is not the perfect fit for your divorce or family law case, there are many other options rather than traditional litigation. I encourage people to explore all the alternatives to litigation with an experienced attorney and pick something that fits their individual family.. I do not do any litigation cases any longer, but usually the cases do not need to end up in litigation if there are skilled conflict resolution attorneys working on the case.

Throughout my practice, I have focused on family law cases, specifically those with complex financial issues such as closely held businesses, executive deferred compensation plans, stock grants and options, and other valuation issues. I also handle complicated parenting issues, including dealing with parents with substance abuse histories or mental health issues... Having assisted clients in a full range of property division, spousal maintenance and parenting plan issues, I seek to combine strong client advocacy with a deep understanding of the legal issues in order to provide efficient, effective, family-focused resolutions.. I was recognized by SuperLawyers magazine as a Rising Star in the area of family law (?cid=4608979).. A Washington native, I began my legal career in the Seattle area at a boutique family-law practice. Today, I practice primarily in King and Snohomish Counties.. When I'm not practicing law, I can be found spending time with my two school aged children. I'm also a frequent volunteer at their school events and in the West Seattle Community. I'm also a runner and enjoy participating in half-marathons.

I began my career as a family law practitioner 20 years ago as an intern and then as a newly-minted associate when I graduated, making partner after just five years. Since that time, I have represented clients in a full range of “cradle to grave” family law matters, particularly complex and high net-worth divorce cases, including property and business valuation, property division, spousal maintenance, parenting plans and custody arrangements. I also represent clients in private independent adoptions and step-parent adoptions.. I work closely with each client to understand their goals and objectives in order to provide the highest level of support and advocacy. I have been recognized as a Rising Star and a Super Lawyer in the area of family law by Washington Law & Politics magazine. I am a member of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) which is a nationally recognized group of family law attorneys.

I've practiced family law since 1980. I've also been active in the King County Family Law Section, and have worked on several committees to help low income folks obtain divorces and legal help.. In my free time, I love being with my family--my three children, all adults now, and my husband, are a great joy. I also love to garden, travel and try to learn Italian--something I think will probably take forever!
