About Reba
Biography
With more than 20 years of experience focusing on employment law in the Seattle area, I know when you have a case against your employer. Laws pertaining to employment are complex, and because Washington recognizes the doctrine of at-will employment, bringing a case against your employer can be difficult. I know the laws and can tell you if your rights have been violated. If they have, I will fight to right the wrong that has been done to you.
I began my career in 1982 as a prosecuting attorney, which gave me daily courtroom experience. As a prosecutor, I learned how to fight for my clients in court, and it's an attitude I still bring to cases today. If we need to take your case to court, I will fight vigorously for you.

A disappointment
I went to Ms. Weiss at a low point in my life as well. I’ll be the first to admit, my case was messy due to a lapse of judgement on my part, but the fact clearly demonstrated that I was inappropriately terminated from my job for pure retaliatory reasons. Ms. Weiss appeared gung-ho to take my case at...

Competent and confident representation
I engaged Reba at a low point in my life, where I was battling an issue of discrimination at work that was overshadowing almost ten years of substantive and proven contribution to my place of employment. My leadership at the time had shown racist and discriminatory tendencies towards me and I foun...
