I graduated from Bellevue High in 1982, and Whitman College in 1986. After graduating from Whitman, I opened a futon store and went into commercial real estate for four years before going to law school in Tacoma. I graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 1996.  That same year I became a Pierce County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, and in 2018 went into private practice.  I have been living in Pierce County for 26 years, the last 10 of which have been in University Place.

In the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office, I prosecuted DUIs, domestic violence, sexual assault, meth labs, and murder cases; I also argued cases before the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court.  

Now as a personal injury attorney, I specialize in protecting the rights of people who have been injured or assaulted.  I look forward to helping you make sure you are fully compensated for your injuries.
