My practice focuses on estate planning, taxation, probate, trust administration, and trust and estate litigation matters. I enjoys working with a broad range of clients, from young families looking to secure their children’s future, to clients in need of sophisticated tax planning and litigation strategy.
I graduated from Seattle University School of Law, magna cum laude, and earned my Masters of Law in Taxation from the University of Washington. While in law school, I studied global human rights advocacy at the Mandela Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand School of Law in Johannesburg, South Africa, and was a legal clerk to the Honorable Richard McDermott at the King County Superior Court.
I have served as the Young Lawyer Liaison for the Washington State Bar Association's Real Property, Probate & Trust Section, and am currently serving as the Section's Newsletter Editor, writing articles on noteworthy trust and estate issues, and am an ex officio member of its Executive Committee. I am currently serving as the chair of the WSBA Taxation Section’s Estate and Gift Tax Committee, and am a frequent author and lecturer on trust and estate topics.
