I believe in bringing balance to a legal system that favors the powerful. That is why I have spent my life fighting for people who get caught up in the legal system and who might not be wealthy or popular enough to get fair treatment. I have advocated for systemic reforms to our mental health system; fought to keep my clients in housing as a case manager; represented clients charged with crimes ranging from simple misdemeanors to so-called "third strikes"; and spent years as a law clerk in King County Superior Court, where I learned how to best frame arguments for judges, what information is really important to juries, and why some lawyers achieve better results than others. I will use my experience to make sure your rights are protected. If you have been charged with a crime, are living with the consequences of a past conviction, or are facing a legal crisis that is threatening your family, call today.
