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.
