After graduating from law school, I worked for big law firms in San Francisco and Palo Alto, CA gaining experience in commercial litigation, employment, real estate and advising start-ups and companies on various legal and employment issues. Upon moving to Seattle, more than a decade ago, I decided to bring the big law firm experience and legal expertise to small companies and individual clients and opened my own law office in Bellevue. I provide tailored legal solutions to my clients depending on their case, their needs, and their budget.
Skilled at early case evaluation, value-driven pre-litigation resolutions and litigation management, I am effective before a courtroom judge in motions and trials, as I am in settlement negotiations, arbitrations, mediations and collective bargaining resolutions.
My practice areas include: contract disputes and business litigation, employment, real estate, and family law and immigration.
In my spare time I enjoy coaching basketball, going skiing, hiking, playing tennis and traveling with my family.
