In re Dependency of S.K.-P, 200 Wn.App. 86, 401 P.3d 442 (Div. 2 2017)
Aug 08, 2017OUTCOME: Win
I wrote the winning appellate brief in this case on behalf of the Washington State Attorney General's Office, saving taxpayers millions of dollars per year in unnecessary legal expenses. Specifically, ... I argued that children in dependency actions are adequately protected by their guardian ad litems, the courts, and the Department of Social and Health Services, and therefore not constitutionally entitled to independent legal counsel.
