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.
