About Samantha
Biography
I am an experienced, dedicated, and patient advocate who will work to achieve the best possible outcome at every step in your case. Before entering private practice, I gained invaluable experience while serving Washington's indigent population as a public defender, managing a high-volume misdemeanor caseload. I have represented clients accused of DUI, Theft, Assault, and many other misdemeanors. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and then went on to receive my law degree from the University of Colorado School of Law. After ten wonderful years in Seattle, WA, I have recently relocated to my homestate of Colorado. I am currenly licensed to practice law in Washington only.
