Your Trusted Personal Injury Advocate in Seattle
With over 28 years of courtroom success, I have dedicated my career to advocating for individuals facing life-altering challenges. My journey began as a King County prosecutor, where I tried more than 100 jury cases, including high-profile homicides and financial fraud cases. This experience provided me with an intimate understanding of the criminal justice system and the importance of giving victims a voice. Since joining Friedman | Rubin, I have focused on civil litigation, representing clients in catastrophic personal injury, insurance bad faith, and commercial contract disputes. My approach combines the tenacity of a prosecutor with the compassion required to support clients during their most vulnerable moments.I have worked tirelessly to secure millions in compensation for victims, including a $2 million award for a traumatic brain injury survivor. My practice is built on the principle that every client deserves personalized attention and a relentless pursuit of justice. I maintain a deep commitment to ethical standards, ensuring transparency and accountability in every case. My background in both criminal prosecution and civil litigation allows me to offer unique insights when navigating complex legal challenges. Whether handling individual claims or collaborating with other legal teams, I prioritize my clients' needs while leveraging the resources of a nationally recognized trial law firm.
