I now try jury trial cases in King and Snohomish Counties. I have two quality legal assistants who work with me in the representation of injured people to obtain fairness which often involves filing the case and taking it through trial. I continue to study human behavior and learn from trial masters. When I stop growing as an attorney I will retire which will take me into old age).
