About Kevin
Kevin J. Yanasak has been a trial lawyer in Washington State since 1985. He represents clients throughout Washington, including municipal, district, superior, appellate, federal, tribal, and the circuit court of Oregon. Kevin practices (bench & jury trials) in the areas of personal injury, criminal (traffic, misdemeanor, DUI, felonies - adult & juvenile), family law (complex dissolution proceedings - past GAL / parenting investigator), probate & estate planning and civil lawsuits. He believes the highest compliment his clients can give him is to refer their family and friends.
Kevin graduated from Gonzaga Law School, where he was selected to be on Law Review. He clerked at the Spokane City Attorneys office (defended city in negligence trial). He is a past deputy prosecuting attorney for Pierce County (handled thousands of cases, and trials), and served as a pro-tem judge in Eatonville Municipal Court.

Rainier & S.E. Alaska, 3 more summers on seafood barges in Alaska (crab & salmon in Bering Sea - Aleutian Islands to Nome). Thinned apples alongside migrant workers in Wenatchee.

At Orting High School, Kevin was a 4-year varsity letter winner in football and wrestling, and was the student body president - 1st NCAA Division 1 wrestler from the town of Orting. After college, he coached in Spokane and in 1990, was named head wrestling coach at Orting high school. He also did internships at Spokane City Hall, and in Washington, D.C.
