The more we do something, the better we get at it. As of 2024, I've been an attorney for 30 years and I know my way around the courtroom. I've been taking care of hundreds clients in the King County and greater Puget Sound courts over three decades now. Criminal defense  Domestic violence charges Protection Order defense  Juvenile criminal defense Child abuse I know how to deal with other attorneys, prosecutors, and how to talk with judges to get decisions that favor my clients. I work to protect my clients rights and deliver the best results possible. I am confident that I can improve my client's situation significantly. A  percentage of my practice is devoted to special assault and abuse cases.  I also enjoy representing juveniles and young adults in educational, juvenile court and criminal court cases. I am  a parent and fully understand the impact a pending criminal charge, protection order or investigation can have on a family whether the case is against a parent or a child. The whole family is affected.  After over 30 years of criminal defense and related proceedings, I can identify and develop strong defenses in cases involving false accusations, retaliatory complaints, misuse of the legal system.  In cases where the allegation may be true, my clients can trust that I offer no judgment, I understand that sometimes things just go wrong and people make mistakes. My job is then to develop mitigation and seek avenues for leniency and best outcomes.  There are many reasons why someone can find themselves accused of wrongdoing. Regardless of those reasons, my goals are always the same -dismissal, reduction and avoiding the loss of job, house, family,education, liberty or good name.   I commit to getting this done expeditiously, with strong leadership and sensitivity.  I make myself available to my clients when they need me.  I use the respect I have earned from the court, prosecutors and other lawyers to my clients benefit.  I treat my clients as I would treat a family member or friend in trouble.  I am care about the professional service I provide and the positive changes I make to legal problems.  I am 100% confident that I can improve my client's situation significantly.
