About Raj
Biography
I have been an attorney for over 30 years, concentrating my practice almost exclusively on all aspects of family law and minor guardianships. A graduate of the University of Washington and Seattle University School of Law, my roots in this area are deep and long standing.
Away from court and my law practice, I love spending time with my family and close knit circle of friends. I lead a very active lifestyle and certainly enjoy sports of all kinds. Recently retiring from coaching competitive girls fastpitch for 11 years taking teams all over the country to play in national tournaments including the Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. Along those lines, I am an avid sports fan, and try to catch as many games as I can for the Seahawks, Huskies and Mariners.
I am committed to helping others and in 2011 was recognized with a Community Service Award for providing pro bono legal help to the less fortunate in Pierce County. Whatever the endeavor, whether it be personal or professional, I try to bring my passionate enthusiasm to any situation.

He was very straightforward with me about the strengths and weaknesses of my case, as well as what my expectations should be in trial. I found it amazing that he had such good co...
