I am a partner with Bluhm Morgan PLLC. My law firm primarily represents Plaintiffs in serious accidents, from motor vehicle collisions to premises liability claims and construction site accidents. Additionally, I continue to serve as defense counsel for a number of clients. before moving to Olympia in 2011, I served as senior legal counsel at Travelers Insurance as one of its “major case” attorneys, defending Travelers insureds in a variety of catastrophic claims from construction site accidents to wrongful death claims.
I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my daughter play volleyball. I also enjoy hiking, fishing, and rooting for the Mariners and Seahawks.
