About Patricia
Biography
I graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 2014 following ten years of experience as a family law paralegal. I firmly believe that my clients have more than "cases", they have lives. It is my goal to provide my clients with effective advocacy, competent counsel and compassion as they work through this very difficult time in their lives.
