814 Second Avenue , Seattle , Washington 98104

Practice Areas: Family

I believe in client-centered lawyering. I bring this view to all the cases I works on, creating a strong bond and relationship with each client. I believe that cases are a team effort between the firm and the client, where the client is the captain of the ship, and I helps make sure each client is steered in the proper direction to obtain his/her goals.. I earned my J.D. from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 2016, where I graduated with Academic Distinction. While there, I worked for the University of Denver Criminal Defense Clinic for almost two years where I explored my passion for indigent defense. At the clinic, I represented clients in county and municipal court, conducted legal research and drafted constitutional motions on behalf of my clients. I continued my interest in criminal defense by working for the Colorado State Public Defender as a certified intern in the summer of 2015. There, I handled my own docket, and represented clients in county court charged with misdemeanor and traffic offenses. In total, I gained extensive experience through handling over 100 cases and trying many jury trials.

Family Law can be a difficult practice, filled with strong emotions and no shortage of conflict. I am challenged by each case to strike a balance between zealous advocacy for my client, and compassion for the participants as a whole.  It has been life-impacting to work so closely with good people during hard times. Going through a divorce can be one of the hardest life experiences a client will ever face. My hope is that my client's burden will in some way be lessened because I was involved.
