About Debra
Biography
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.
