Please include all relevant details from your case including where, when, and who it involves. Case details that can effectively describe the legal situation while also staying concise generally receive the best responses from lawyers.

Following a successful career as a Judge Advocate and subsequently as a Prosecuting Attorney for the City of Seattle, I chose to enter the private sector and represent those who unfortunately find themselves charged with a crime. I have handled hundreds of criminal cases throughout my career. I represent my clients zealously and with an abundance of compassion and care, and I continue to look forward to the challenge of serving those who find themselves in need of my professional services.

How did you build a successful practice?

Lots and lots of hard work to start from the ground floor up; getting the necessary experience working with respected attorneys before starting my own firm; being aggressive, but not overly aggressive; choosing to focus my area of practice strictly on criminal defense and not trying to do too many things at once; gaining the trust of my clients who have gone on to refer me to their friends and family members.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Someone who is familiar with the particular court, prosecutors, and law enforcement agencies associated with their case; someone who is honest about the likely outcome of the case, and doesn't make big promises they can't produce; someone who has focused their practice on criminal defense and has many years of experience; someone who is well-respected in the legal community; someone whose personality you feel comfortable with.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

The consequences of the allegation; basic background for how the prosecutors in their jurisdiction deal with the charges; what kind of costs they are looking at; getting them directed on how to best protect themselves and being proactive in minimizing or eliminating consequences.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

Basic facts of the case; whether or not the person has prior criminal history; access to documents they might have already received regarding the case; which courts, jurisdictions,and/or law enforcement agencies are involved; citizenship or immigration issues; current employment information; possible licensing issues involved.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

Exercise; spending time with family; hiking; reading novels; going to Seahawk, Husky, and Mariner games.
