I've been a litigator throughout my entire legal career, first as a law clerk in state and federal courts and then as a practicing attorney. My practice currently focuses on commercial litigation, trust and estate (TEDRA) litigation, and real property disputes. I'm part of a full service law firm in Spokane and my partners and I can assist in any legal matter you may face.

Excellent Results!!

Mr. Nault displayed excellent skill in arguing my case far exceeding my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend him. I had a difficult appeal that I did not feel confident could be won, but Mr. Nault was successful in defending my case and convincing the Judge to reverse the trial court's finding.
