About Pamella
Biography
She arrived in the United States at 19 with drive, curiosity, and a clear direction. Today, she brings that same determination to every client navigating the complexities of family law. A graduate of UW Law’s accelerated program — completing her JD in two years, the first in the program’s history to do so — she combines sharp legal instincts with a genuine commitment to the people she serves.
Clients can expect clear communication, real answers, and an attorney who takes the time to learn their story. She understands that family law cases carry weight far beyond the courtroom, and she treats them accordingly, with care, precision, and a standard of service she holds herself to personally.
Her dedication extends well beyond her caseload. She received the District and Municipal Courts Judicial Association Presidential Award for 2024–2025, serves on the UW Tacoma Legal Pathways Advisory Board, sits on the board of the Child Care Action Council, and is actively involved in trial advocacy and mock trial programs across the region.
Clients navigating family law matters who need an attorney that will take the time to understand their full situation, communicate honestly throughout the process, and advocate for them with both precision and care.

Wonderful!
We consulted with Pam on a matter that was devastating at the time. She was reassuring and very helpful! She went above and beyond to answer our questions and kept in contact with any information we needed. We ended up not needing to hire her- but given her caring and helpful nature she would be our ...
