About Me

Bar Admission: 1997, (verify here) vast majority of practice experience in the family law area. Over 500 divorce, custody, child-support, and property division cases.

Types of Cases Handled:
Hundreds of uncontested divorces. But probably 75% of my caseload is in fact contested divorce cases and I have done 300+ litigated Court hearings, trials, and motions.

My Other Legal Experience:
Please see my seattle divorce attorney and lawyer web portal.

Personal: Enjoy foreign languages, (BA in Mandarin Chinese) travel, the following other members of my family went to law school also: grandfather (in those days you could do first year law instead of your 4th year of undergraduate and get your BA, which he did but did not graduate), his two older brothers got their JD's and although passing the bar went into the family business with my grandfather, two of my great-grandfathers went to law school and one was a former Washington State Bar Association president, my cousin is a lawyer at present like me but works in government practice.
