(Initially my law practice concentrated on Family Law. I tried countless divorce bench trials at the King County Superior Court. Approximately 20 years ago I changed my emphasis to Personal Injury Law. I now try jury trial cases in King and Snohomish Counties. I have two quality legal assistants who work with me in the representation of injured people to obtain fairness which often involves filing the case and taking it through trial. I continue to study human behavior and learn from trial masters. When I stop growing as an attorney I will retire which will take me into old age).
