I bring a hard working attitude and sense of fairness that shows my commitment to getting the best results possible for my clients. I graduated magna cum laude from Washington State University. In 2005 I graduated magna cum laude from Gonzaga Law School. After working for a year as a prosecutor, I have been practicing in civil litigation since 2006 where I focus primarily on helping individuals and families affected by injuries caused by others. I have been a trial attorney my entire legal career, first prosecuting crimes, then as an insurance defense attorney, and now representing people injured by the negligence of others. I currently handle persona injury cases in Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, Walla Walla, and the Yakima valley.

Mariah represented us in a civil case that was handled quickly and expertly. She was very knowledgeable and gave us good advice along the way. Her paralegal was also amazing and kept us well informed. I would highly recommend Mariah.

Mariah is another Erin Brockovich ! She battled a big firm representing a big company and beat them in their own game. Her persistence, knowledge, research, and willingness to work hard won the case. She was very good about keeping me informed. I highly recommend her.
