Family 5%

I began my law practice in 1993 as a Family Law Attorney. I moved the focus of my practice to Elder Law in 1995, finding it a more suitable to my disposition. Because of my experience in both Family Law and Guardianship I am sometimes appointed as Guardian ad Litem in dissolution matters. This is under Title IV of the RCW. I do not represent parties in divorce or child custody matters.
