I enjoy the practice of law. I have 20 years of experience which allows me the opportunity to help people in a meaningful way to navigate through the legal system efficiently while providing a supporting hand through some of the most difficult times of their lives. Although I grew up in Alaska, I love Seattle where I'm close to the water along with my family and friends.
