I am proud to be a third generation attorney in Pierce County. The profession of lawyering has a long tradition of serving and helping people in need. This philosophy guided my grandfather's and father's practices and it continues to guide mine as well.
I started practicing by defending physicians and hospitals in medical malpractice cases. For the last decade, my practice has focused on representing individuals, both in personal injury cases and in all types of estate matters.
The practice of law is built on trust. Professional ethics are of utmost importance to me. You can expect me to always be honest with you about your case. In return, I will expect you to be honest with me about the situation.
I limit my cases and clients to make sure that each client receives the attention he/she deserves. Because of that, every client benefits from my 29 years of experience.
I sincerely thank you for taking time to learn more about my practice. I look forward to hearing from you and about how I might help.
You will find my office environment casual and friendly. Our discussion will be held in strict confidence as it is protected by the attorney client privilege.

Auto Accident Case
Cliff went above and beyond to gather the data needed for my case. He was very thorough. I always felt he had the time for me and took a personal interest in my case. He was able to get a decent settlement for me in a difficult situation. I highly recommend Cliff.
"Cliff is a highly skilled litigator that will work hard in behalf of his client to obtain the best possible results that he can. "
