About Kevin
Biography
I have been in practice since 1991. The overwhelming majority of new clients are referred to me by my former clients. I have worked in the areas of Conflict Resolution, Personal Injury, Family Law, Criminal Defense, Mediations, Collaborative Law, and other trial or civil litigation work.
I am a well-trained and experience Mediator and Collaborative Lawyer working to help individuals resolve their dispute without going to court. For more information about mediation or collaborative law go to .
I encourage straight talk and honest assessments. I do not work with people who will not put their children first. I believe every person is entitled to understand the law and their options, and I believe that with honest hard work all things all possible.
I am a member of the Washington State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association, Pierce County Collaborative Practice, Washington Collaborative Practice, the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, and the Washington State Society for Justice. I am active in the community in which my family resides. I am blessed to have a wonderful blended family and five children with whom I try to stay very active in their lives in addition to working in a very high paced and positive law practice.
All emails are returned as soon as possible. I encourage you to send me a message.

Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2013.
Reprimand issued in WA, 2013
updated on 01/16/2016This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
Kevin’s comment:
“You can see the context of this reprimand at the WSBA website. The attorney is in good standing with the Washington State Bar Association and has been practicing law with excellent client reviews since 1991.”
