Smart & experienced criminal defense.
I have more than 20 years of experience zealously defending clients at trial, on appeal, and in post-conviction litigation in all levels of Washington State courts.
I like trying cases to juries and I like making legal arguments to judges. I protect my clients' rights to their fullest, and when appropriate, I call out government overreach and misconduct.
My expertise is in defending serious violent crimes (like murder, assault, rape, robbery, child molestation) and cases that involve expert witness testimony, especially regarding mental disorders, or youthfulness as mitigation. My peers look to me for help with that type of work.
I have a proven track record of finding creative solutions in challenging cases and I find great satisfaction in collaborating with clients to meet their goals.
I am based in King County, but I do take on work in other jurisdictions, especially for complex resentencing hearings.
