History
Established in 2014.
I have been a Portland-based trial lawyer for the past 14 years; the last four of which in private practice representing clients primarily in the areas of employment discrimination, civil rights and personal injury. I regularly try cases in state and federal court in both Oregon and Washington.
A key strength and my favorite part of practicing law is building relationships, and I take great pride in the «customer service» component of my job. My client advocacy goes beyond court appearances and negotiations. It is the personal connections I make with my clients that distinguishes me from other lawyers.
I am personally involved in all stages of every case, from strategy and investigation, to motion practice, to alternative resolutions such as mediation and, ultimately, jury trial if an alternative resolution is not possible.
I began my career as a Multnomah County Public Defender, where I gained extensive trial experience.
