Honors

Something You Are Most Proud of Professionally

I’m proud of helping clients, often widows, protect millions of dollars of their savings through probate administration and litigation.

3 Things a Client Wouldn't Know About You

My family has fostered dozens of kittens, bunnies and guinea pigs for the Tacoma-Pierce County Humane Society. At times our living room was basically a small farm. Very small.
I’m quoted in a lexicographer’s book for my exemplary use of the term “and which.” This is an honor which is too obscure for anyone to care about and which I am proud of anyway.
I recently went to Luxembourg with my family to see the homeland of my immigrant great-grandfather.

Why You Decided to be an Attorney

After a dozen years as a daily newspaper reporter, I wanted to move from writing about other people’s problems to solving them.

Why You Decided to Practice and/or Continue Practicing This Type of Law

I enjoy working with families to try to resolve issues with a minimum amount of stress and turmoil.
