Christine Gwendolyn Dow

Christine graduated from Western Washington University with a cross-disciplinary degree in Law and Diversity, focused on American cultural diversity and the law, and from the University of Idaho College of Law, where her work in the legal aid clinic led to a focus on family law in her practice.  After several years as a legal aid volunteer attorney, she joined a Whitman County criminal defense firm as their first family law attorney.  Her own family matters brought her back to the west side of the state.

"Family, good, bad or indifferent, is part of our foundation and often central to our lives.  Sadly, you may need protection from a family member with unmanageable issues, but for the most part, those relationships are part of who we are, now and in the future.   My commitment is to provide compassionate legal assistance to clients dealing with changed family relationships, without damaging them beyond repair in the process, especially if children are involved.  In family law, that's a win .".    

Favorite leisure pastimes are gardening, old-lady kayaking, reading, and whatever comes next.  Favorite quotation: "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane."  Tolstoy.
