Biography

I have served as a family law attorney in Snohomish County since 1998.  I currently also serve as as a mediator and arbitrator for family law cases.  I have mediated more than 1900 cases for other attorneys and arbitrated approximately 750 cases as well. I have made hundreds of decisions in family law cases as a Commissioner Pro Tem.     I focus on establishing a temporary status quo for my clients, and then work toward a settlement.  I believe settlement is almost always the best solutions for my clients; however there are a few instances where ultimately we have to proceed with trial.     I look forward to working with you for your family law needs.
