While I can't guarantee the results, I can guarantee effort. I will work for you until the job is done. I will tell you when I think we should go to court and when we should fold. I will strive to be a good steward of your finances, time, and emotional energy. I will approach the job with compassion, a sense of humor, and a deep knowledge of the law and human behavior.

I have been litigating family and Native American law matters since 2003.  I try up to three cases per year and represent three times that many at settlement conferences / meditations. I have been appointed a special master and sometimes conduct meditations. I also handle appeals.

My office is in North Seattle near Lake City. I appear regularly in King County Superior Court and less frequently in other counties throughout Washington. I am a member of the bar of most tribal courts in the State of Washington. I also practice in the United States District Court for the Eastern and Western Districts. I am a member of Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.
