About Theresa
Biography
I have been a personal injury attorney for more than 30 years. I started my career in California before moving to Washington with my family in 1999. Since that time, my primary focus has been on representing injured persons in personal injury litigation, including auto cases, product liability, premises liability and medical negligence.
I have past experience working for insurance defense firms, so I am familiar with their tactics.
This office firmly adheres to our motto, "Do The Right Thing Always", and makes that our priority for handling our clients' claims. I believe we achieve that on a daily basis.
I also believe in giving back to the community, so I am an adult volunteer involved with an international youth organization that helps develop today's young women into tomorrow's leaders.
