I am the youngest of five children and originally from a small town in Montana. When I was six years old, we moved to England, where I attended school through high school graduation before returning to the U.S. I was fortunate as a child to be exposed to different cultures and languages. I then went to college in San Francisco and eventually moved to Tacoma for law school. I have been here ever since. I enjoy the outdoors, gardening, cooking and travel. I consider myself lucky to be able to do what I enjoy for a living: helping people solve problems, if possible maintaining some perspective and a sense of humor, which I guess are really the same thing. I invite you to check out my web site ( ) for more details on my background, including the extensive mediation training and collaborative law training I took. I hope you find this information helpful. I look forward to being of service. I offer a free 30 minute consult in which we can review your case and begin to plan how to resolve the problem.

Single Father
Well, this divorce started fairly ugly with some pretty bad accusations thrown my direction. Debra kept me calm and focused on the end results of my case. 11 months after my original call to her, my case is settled and my divorce is over. I would have never thought that in this state, I would fair as...

Knowledge is power
I am a dad with full custody of my children after a divorce and relocation. That alone should tell you what class of lawyer Debra is. In my case, I paid her for advice, information, help with collecting child support, and help reviewing my divorce and relocation paperwork. I value that information a...
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had one family law case with Debra. I found her to be diligent, intelligent, well versed in the law and sensitive to the needs of her client.
