Practice Areas: Family, Estate Planning, Probate, DUI & DWI, Guardianship

I grew up in the small town of Conway, Washington creating strong bonds with the area and people.  After receiving my transfer degree from Skagit Valley College, I attended Western Washington University and double majored in Political Science and Psychology.  It has been my longstanding view that a lot of the people that should become lawyers tend to shy away from the field. Coming from a less traditional background as a Commercial Fisherman, I decided to pursue law as a profession and attended Pace Law School in White Plains, New York. It has always been my goal to represent common people, rather than large corporations.  In addition, I prefer being a solo attorney where I can directly interact with my clients, and you can be assured your case will not get passed to someone less qualified.
