In addition to my workers' compensation law practice, I am a single mother of two boys - now men -- and I enjoy playing classical piano.
I was a piano performance major when I began college and switched to a pre-law major after discovering I wanted to make a meaningful contribution to the world through working as an attorney. It was at that point, I completely stopped playing the piano.
Twenty-seven years later, I started practicing the piano again and even took up piano lessons again with the intent of competing in International Amateur Piano Competitions. I was a winner in the Seattle International Piano Competition in 2010 and had the opportunity to perform in Benaroya Hall. In 2011, I was a quarter-finalist (top 15 out of 100) in the Paris International Piano Competition. My next competition is again in Paris scheduled in March 2015. My favorite piece (at this time) is Chopin's 4th Ballade in f minor. Some days I can play it better than others.

My consultation with Christine and her associate was what turned my claim around. They gave me advice that got my claim allowed and the medical treatment I needed. They referred me to a doctor they knew, and told me to come back if I hit any more road blocks. Christine was great
