Practice Areas: Litigation

I am a litigation attorney handling personal injury claims and fighting insurance companies that are reluctant to fairly compensate those that are hurt through no fault of their own. I feel fortunate in being able to connect with and advocate for my clients, particularly based on my own experience of having difficulty communicating when I first came to the United States and could not speak English. I also feel fortunate in being allowed to attend Trial Lawyers College in September 2012 where I learned from and became a part of a community of passionate and dedicated lawyers who are committed in the pursuit of justice for their clients.. I began my legal career as a case manager, and later a legal assistant/paralegal.  I went on to earn my Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Oregon School of Law.  While in law school, I served as a senior editor for the Oregon Review of International Law, a member of the Moot Court Board, and a judicial extern for the Honorable John V. Acosta, United States District Court, District of Oregon.

A native of Montana, I came to Spokane to attend Gonzaga University as an undergraduate.  As a skier, golfer, tennis player and eventually as a husband and father, I have learned what a great area we live in.  My practice has grown and changed, from a general practice doing everything from real estate closings, adoptions and family law, to a very specialized practice, with experience in and emphasis on catastrophic injury, product liability, medical negligence and complex commercial litigation.. After more than 27 years of practice, I have had the opportunity to be in front of Judges in the State of Washington's District Court, Superior Court, Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, as well as Idaho's District Court and the Supreme Court of Idaho.  I have also appeared in numerous pre-litigation screening panels in Idaho, before the Washington Medical Quality Assurance Commission, and before a variety of Administrative Law Judges in cases involving allegations of safety violations, industrial injury and social security disability.. The increased use of mediation and arbitration during my career has also provided the opportunity to be an advocate in both arenas, as well as chances to act as both a mediator and an arbitrator.  My clients get the highly qualified and deeply committed advocacy they deserve, every day.
