My Most Proud Appellate Case
- Marriage of Underwood. This appellate ruling provides children a voice when they see a parent when there is a basis to restrict their residential time to include parents that have engaged in physical or sexual abuse, domestic violence, have substance abuse issues, etc.
- This case lasted for 6.5 years with appeals filed in the Court of Appeals twice and the Washington State Supreme Court once. In the end, the ruling will help children across the State of Washington and hopefully reduce or limit their childhood trauma.
My Most Personally Rewarding Case
- In 2019 the legislature enacted RCW 26.26A.465. This statute indicates that if a person commits a sexual assault that results in a pregnancy and birth of a child, a parent may seek to preclude the aggressor from establishing or maintaining their parental rights.
- I was lucky enough to represent a young woman that sadly endured years of horrific abuse by an adult in her life from a very young age, that eventually resulted in her becoming a mother. The biological father requested his rights to be recognized as a parent. We tried this case in 2020 using this brand-new law which included very sad and compelling eyewitness testimony.
- Because of this new statute, we were able to successfully keep this aggressor from having any parental rights and contact with this child. A child that we believe he was grooming right before the case was commenced. Most importantly, this child will be safe from the same predatory behavior my client endured.
My Most Unusual Case
- I was involved in the sale of a house on American Lake for a probate case. Simple enough, or so we thought. After the house sold and closed, a gardener hired by the buyers found a safe buried on the grounds containing $557,000 in CASH. The gardener contacted the Sheriff and delivered all funds to law enforcement. Litigation ensued to determine the rightful owner of the funds. The facts of this case were better than fiction requiring extensive legal research in a completely novel area of law.
