I practice as a sole practitioner. As a result, your case will receive my personal attention, and I will personally be responsive to your concerns and questions.
I have been handling employee benefits matters for over 25 years. For the past eight years, my practice has been devoted almost entirely to helping individuals obtain the benefits they have earned. I represent individuals in disability insurance, life insurance, medical insurance, and pension claims. I am also lead counsel in class actions for pension and medical insurance claims, including Navlet v. Port of Seattle, which was decided by the Washington Supreme Court in late 2008. You can learn more about my practice at my website, .
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your employee benefits situation.
