As an attorney, I've enjoyed the opportunity to represent a variety of people trying to get through a very stressful moment in their lives. Noone wants to be brought to court, and being able to be the experienced and professional person to help them through the process is an honor and a joy. I believe in working to the greatest extent possible through collaboration and in disagreeing without being disagreeable, and I think the profession is best served when people take common-sense positions and don't fight every step of the way.

In my current role, I'm blessed to handle litigated matters in Oregon and Washington with my team of lawyers and staff to protect our clients. I've enjoyed working with lawyers throughout the region on matters where we represented different sides to reach the right result.
