also known as David C. Ryder
I am Ivy League educated (Brown University, 1977) and I attended the University of Washington Law School (Class of 1981). I have been in sole practice since 1983. For the first 20 years of my practice, I was located in downtown Seattle. I relocated my office to downtown Edmonds in 2001.
I am gradually heading towards retirement and will not be representing clients on specific issues. If you find yourself in need of a consultation, however, please feel free call or email my office. If I am unable to assist you with a consultation, I have a few referrals that may work for you.
