I believe most cases are best handled by “hitting the ground running.”
As a seasoned attorney with over 30 years of experience, I understand the importance of communication and collaboration with my clients. That's why I urge all my clients to provide me with the necessary information and documentation from the outset. This approach ensures that I thoroughly grasp their priorities and desires, whether it's related to custody, property division, spousal maintenance, child support, or any other aspect of their case. By doing so, I believe we can achieve excellent results both in court and negotiations.
Over the course of my career, I have successfully secured litigation victories and settlements exceeding $10 million for my clients across various legal areas, including personal injury and class action cases. However, for the past decade, the majority of my work has revolved around divorce and custody disputes.
My extensive experience in high-asset cases allows me to tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe in utilizing my clients' resources constructively and effectively to achieve their desired outcomes.
Proudly Serving
Born and raised in Boston, I am proud to call the Tri-Cities home for over 40 years. My wife, Tami, and I have two daughters who have also pursued careers in law. After graduating from Gonzaga School of Law, I joined my father's practice in 1993 before eventually establishing my own firm.
Today, my primary focus is family law with a specialization in high-asset divorce cases. Additionally, I continue to assist individuals in civil litigation matters concerning catastrophic injuries caused by medical negligence and personal injury. In medical negligence cases, I have achieved outstanding results for my clients, securing significant damage settlements and verdicts. Rest assured that when you choose me as your attorney, you will receive the best possible solution tailored to your specific needs.
Beyond my legal career, I have actively contributed to our community by serving as a former board member of the Boys and Girls Club.
In 2006, I was elected to the Washington State Board of Governors. I am also an avid supporter of my alma mater, the University of Washington, and have instilled the Husky spirit in both of my daughters who also attended the university. When I'm not practicing law, I enjoy spending quality time with Tami, our family, and friends at our second home in Bend, Oregon. Fly-fishing, snowboarding, and biking the scenic trails in Sunriver are among my favorite pastimes.
