My law practice focuses primarily on criminal defense. I help people facing misdemeanors, felonies, and traffic infractions. A significant portion of my practice involves DUI/DWI Defense, Assaults, Malicious Mischief, Theft, Drug Possession, Burglary, Identity Theft, Domestic Violence DV, Harassment, Traffic Tickets. I am an active member of the Washington State Bar Association, the Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association, Washington Defenders Association, and Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. A long time local to Tacoma, I graduated from Wilson High School. From there, I went on to the University of Washington and later to Gonzaga University School of Law. I enjoy rooting for both the Huskies and the Zags, but it can be bit tough come basketball season in the chance they play each other. I live in Gig Harbor with my wife, Lisa, who is also an attorney, and our two sons.
