Biography

I manage the firm of Seattle Divorce Services in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. I gave up litigating in 2007 because I wanted to focus on peaceful dispute resolution. For 10 years My primary practice emphasis was Collaborative Divorce, a method for helping clients in conflict achieve peaceful and respectful settlements. Now I have retired from active work with clients to focus on firm administration and supporting the practices of the other attorneys at our firm. All of our attorneys are trained in Mediation, and most do work in Collaborative Divorce as well as traditional divorce.
