We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
My legal career began defending businesses against claims of employment discrimination and premises liability disputes. This expanded to defending both businesses and individuals against catastrophic personal injury and construction defect claims. I enjoy helping clients to better understand the legal process and ensuring they feel that their position is heard and zealously advocated in front of the decision maker.
I am a life long Washington resident and when I am not in the office, you can often find me rooting on our local sports teams or spending much needed time with my wife and two dogs.

"Justin and I have a history of working across the table from one and another as opposing counsel. From my experience, he is a diligent, thorough, and knowledgeable counsel who zealously advocates for his clients. You can count on Justin to help you navigate through the complex maze that is the legal system and guide you to your desired outcome, no matter the difficulty."
"Justin and I were co-workers for about 3 years. As Senior Associate, he was an invaluable mentor to me during the early years of my litigation development. Beyond that, he is one of the most intelligent and well reasoned lawyers I have had the privilege to work with. Justin is never one to be stumped by an answer to a complex legal question and if he does not know the answer, he knows how to quickly and effectively find it. I highly recommend his work to any that are in need of it."
