I graduated from the UW in 1977 and practiced accouting in Seattle, WA before heading off to law school.  I am an inactive CPA.  I attended the Universtity of San Francisco School of Law and worked for a large law firm in SF during my second and third years of law school. After graduating, I returned to Seattle to practice with my father, Carl Jonson, and my brother Mike.  My father is no longer with us but Mike and I carry on the family tradition. We are third generation lawyers and we take the business very seriously.  We have client relationships that date back to our firm's inception.  My practice has narrowed over time and the majority of my work is now performed for water utilities located in Western and Central Washington.
