Reputable defense lawyer known for impressive victories
As a native WA, she is passionate about serving her community. She began her legal career as a public defender at the Yakima County Department of Assigned Counsel and then moved into private practice, where she took on tough appeals, clemency petitions, and complex felony cases such as rape, murder, and co-defendant trials. Through numerous successful cases, she has earned a reputation for being:
- Highly skilled — She has handled countless cases before judges and juries.
- Fearless — She is never intimidated, and her clients say she inspires their confidence.

Having earned the respect of colleagues, adversaries, and judges in the criminal and juvenile court systems, she is able to negotiate fair resolutions that reduce potential penalties.
