I am a trial attorney with over a decade of litigation experience in Whatcom County. Having served as both a public defender and a prosecutor, I have tried cases ranging from DUI to homicide. That breadth of experience gives me a balanced, strategic perspective in the courtroom and at the negotiation table.

At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: informed clients make better decisions. The legal process can feel overwhelming, especially when the stakes are high. My job is to provide clear guidance, honest advice, and steady support—so you can move forward with confidence while maintaining control and autonomy throughout the process.

I was born and raised in Bellingham, where both my grandfather and father practiced law. After graduating from Berkeley Law School, returning home to serve this community was an easy decision. Today, I have the privilege of sharing office space with my father in the same office where my grandfather began his legal career.

Outside the office, you’ll likely find me outdoors with my family and our two dogs, or at the Pickford Film Center catching the latest release.
