My primary legal focus is in juvenile criminal defense, however I also handle adult misdemeanors. I am qualified to handle Class A felonies, as well as complex sex cases. Through my work as a public defender in juvenile court, I have extensive experience in felony defense, and have taken many felony cases to trial. I am proud to offer my experience and enthusiasm to your defense, and look forward to assisting you through every step of the criminal defense process.
As a young lawyer I bring a lot of passion and energy to each case I handle. I run a growing, high-tech solo practice in Kennewick, WA. My philosophy is that law should be community-focused, and to that end I try to make my own practice as responsive as possible to this community and the unique needs of its people.
I believe in understanding clients as people rather than legal issues, and that our context in life can tell us a lot about the solutions to our problems. I view my role as a lawyer to be your strongest advocate and to find the best outcome that works for you. I pride myself on being approachable, compassionate, hard working, and having a strong sense of humor.
Now that you've read about me as a lawyer, here's a bit about me as a person: I'm a Tri-Cities native, and although I went out of the area for school it was important to me to establish a legal practice here to give back to the community that helped me grow up. I love the outdoors, and like to spend my free time with my family, including labrador retriever Gertrude, in the Badger Mountain area. Otherwise, I'm an avid reader and I enjoy participating in fundraising for the Tri-Cities Cancer Center.
